Guest Designer: Nina Ostermann

Today I feature another page is by Nina Ostermann. Nina's Instagram. I "met" Nina through my art classes on 2peas. when she posted her pages in the class gallery, I immediately saw that special something. She is an amazing artist and I admire her work greatly.

What Nina said about this page:

Flowers are so beautifully, so individually and unique. There are thousand different shapes, sizes, colors and I think most of us can never get enough of them. Flowers can change a home into a cozy place. 
Next to my kids, husband and doggy they are one of my favorite photography subject and I love doing layouts with those pictures, of course.
For my first project as the "I Heart Studio" guest designer I decided to use one of my dearest last weeks flowers pictures in combination with a sentence and also some leaves Cut Files. 
Both are cutting on plain white cardstock. This is the way I mostly cut with my Silhouette Cameo because I can use those cuts untreated white (yes I´m a white lover ;-) and also painted in different colors who works best with my projects. 
For todays page I used the white word cut file onto a watercolor painted background and it pops restrained out of the page. I like the effect. The leaves are uneven painted with green watercolor. They are layered involuntarily together with the square picture and some layers of white silk paper. That´s a great keyword. Layering. To create different levels makes pages, mini albums or cards a little bit more interesting, I think. Therefore my pictures are mostly layered on the back. With this simple thing we can create a first layer without any complicated technique or anything like that. Easy, right?!

How to make a scrapbook page with no mojo.

Oh my... did I ever had a bout of low/no mojo for this week's page. I think I am just so ready for summer that I want to sip soda and lemon on the deck and not work at all. Or read. So, in this video I will take you through those times when you want to or HAVE to make a page but the inspiration is gone. Sometimes you just have to work it until you are happy. 

<---------- THEN... I have a little surprise for you... these HASHTAG cut files are FREE with any purchase on www.iheartstudio.ca till end of June. You will get it in your downloads once you check out! 

Next week is my birthday and I might take the next week off. So this is my little birthday gift to you to say thank you for supporting my little shop.

Guest Designer: Kim Stewart

Kim is the guest designer today. She makes beautiful pages and products (for iheartstudio.ca). I am a little (okay, a LOT) speechless of this incredible page she made with the cut files she designed for my little shop and the butterfly printables. Swoooon. Here's what she said about this page:

I love gelatos and can't seem to ever get enough of them!  Most of the time I use the pretty peach and coral colors combined with white and gold but for this layout I wanted to try a different combination like blue and purple, and I love how some of them blended.  Just like watercolors I love seeing the small areas where the colors blend.  I add a little white next to the blues and purple just to see the lighter blue and the pale lavenders appear.  I squeal just a little every time I add a little coloring on a page.  Then from there I like to layer my embellishments and papers.  I kept this one rather simple and just used a few butterflies and some cut files.  I like seeing the color show through the love cut file.  That makes me really happy!
