And new pages with Viva Artistry's Fairy Tale collection & Stoked kit

I also made some new pages with the gorgeous kits from Viva Artistry.
I used the Fairy Tale collection for the first two pages. This collection holds lots of unique elements and touchable papers to make your layouts unique and memorable. For example the 3 kits (Love, Virtuous and Evil) and a book kit and some really beautiful brushes.

The collection consists of two parts, both available at SBG:
The whole Fairy Tale collection of kits for digital scrapbooking: HERE
All of the extras in the Fairy Tale collection all bundled up: HERE

Some previews:

The Extra's bundle

The kits bundle
And of course my pages with this gorgeous collection:

EVIL

LOVE
For the 3rd page i used Stoked, also from Viva Artistry. It's stoking rad, dude! An altered urban graffiti type of kit perfect for boys, teens, or any layout needing a masculine touch! Or maybe that girl who just doesn't fit the frilly mode! We've combined the altered with the urban look for a unique approach. You'll love the papers and the unique elements full of bits and bobs.
It's available at SBG HERE.

And here's a preview:


And my page with this kit:

Stoked - RAK for Agnès

Well, that's all for now, hope you enjoyed !! Thanks for looking and see you soon.

New pages - Just blowing of steam with Viva Artistry's Otaku & Tough Love !!!

Yesterday, i was in a particulary faul mood, due to some personal issues and REALLY needed to blow of steam ! Two kits from Viva Artistry turned out to come in very handy for that very purpose. I used Otaku & Tough Love for these two pages (and felt much better afterwards).

First Tough Love:
This kit is for those hard times when you have to be tough. We've all been there: when your kids are driving you absolutely insane...when you're having a bad day with family, for tough love... It is available at SBG HERE.

A preview:


And then the second kit Otaku: If you love comics, manga & anime, ViVa Artistry created a manga-styled kit to cater to your OTAKU (an obsession in Japanese). For something a little different, a little funky and challenging. Try altered art with this! Try creating your own comic with the included frames! (or blow of steam LOL). It is available at SBG HERE.

And the preview:


And then now my 2 pages:

THESE BOOTS: yeah, i told you it was a faul mood, right ? I used Otaku for this one. Girls eyes & mouth from my stash.

YOU: I used Tough Love for this one. Mouth from my stash.

I hope you liked them. Thanks for looking and see you soon !!!

New elements kit About Bees by Viva Artistry

I had some fun with the newest element kit from Viva Artistry: About Bees. And i mixed it with the Field Journal Collection, also by Viva Artistry as they go great together !!!

Now About Bees is a set of brushes and wordart that features the ubiquitous bee. Use it with the Field Journal Collection, like i did, for more outdoor memory fun or for your mixed media art. There are 10 brushes along with an ABR file for Photoshop and a special ABR file for CS6 with extra large images. 5 quotation wordart also included to add to the creativity.

and brushes to document your life. It's great for garden layouts, or vacations, or walks, or documenting a hobby. This kit is versatile enough to be combined with other kits for art journaling or mixed media.
A bonus CS6 ABR file is included with EXTRA LARGE images.

My new pages with the gorgeous kits from Viva Artistry

I've been playing with  a couple of gorgeous Viva Artistry kits and made some beautiful pages with them i want to share. Check out Viva Artistry's Store at SBG.

The first kit i used is called Blue. It's a little sad, but gorgeous !! Now melancholia is a normal part of life and what better way then to scrap away the blues with a kit specific for those sad times. Use these elements and lush papers to put your feelings onto a visual media. Add it to your art journaling. It's scrap therapy as only ViVa Artistry can do it!
Blue is available at SBG HERE.

A little preview:

My pages:
FEELING BLUE: Because sometimes you just do !!

Also used on the next page: The Web Masks & Paint from Viva Artistry, both available at SBG:
Masks HERE and Paint HERE.
 
TRYING TO MOVE ON: Sometimes are harder than others, and being a very logical person this is my problem (often) when
dealing with sad emotions.

The second kit i played with is called Sweet Songs and it's quite the opposite. This great kit is very uplifting and merry. Love altered art? Doodles, colors, newspaper, crafty flowers, right up your ally with a mixed media touch for your memories! Full of fun things to scrap with.
Sweet Song is available at SBG HERE.

A little preview:


And here is my page with Sweet Songs:
Additional items used:  the Typography 101 alpha-sets available at SBG here: Modern Roman, Old Roman & Vertical Gothic.

IMAGINE: I just loved this quote, author unknown unfortunately, and had to use it on a page !!

The third & last kit i worked with is the Industrial Bundle. Since i love anything steampunk and/or grungy a lot, i was really thrilled about this one.  Industrial...perfect for your manly man layouts, or your boyish layouts, or to add some steampunk to your everyday layouts! It’s grungy, metallic, and oh, such a contrast to all the feminine kits out there!
Industrial is available at SBG HERE.

A little preview:


Here are the pages i made with Industrial:

On the first page i additionally used Vogue bundle by Viva Artistry, available at SBG.
Poser from my stash

INDUSTRIAL CHIC: Love to do fashion-esk pages.

I ROBOT: Build myself a robot girl LOL. What can i say, i feel sometimes people expect way to much of you
Well, that's it for now, i will be back soon with some more pages.
Thanks again for reading !!!
