Ben-isms | Lottie Loves Paper | Simple Stories Bro & Co

Friday 31 July 2020

 
Hey everyone I have a new layout and video for Lottie Loves Paper today using the new Bro & Co collection by Simple Stories.
I wanted to document all the funny things my husband says wrong...it's a running joke in our house about his 'Ben-isms' and I had this photo of him hiding from the camera (illegal photos he calls them!) so I thought I'd have a go at this today. I've used the striped paper to add paper strips to the two edges of my layout. I love the look of a small width of horizontal stripes going down a vertical edge so this paper was perfect. I added a contrasting colour too. This left me lots of white space in the middle of my layout for my photo and all the words.
My initial plan was to add lots of the words from the Phrase Stickers but after I'd added lots I then didn't have any room for my own words! So I took them off again. I did keep some - I really love the font of those phrase stickers and the best thing about them is that they are foam - chipboard tends to ping off easily whereas foam has a flexibility to it meaning that my titles will stay exactly where I intended them, hurrah! I added my own words using black Thickers from my stash and I wrote my journaling under each one to explain what they mean as they definitely don't make sense on their own!

I finished off with ephemera, stickers, metal brads and some Bramble Fox hearts in black. I also added some enamel dots.

Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you have enjoyed this layout. Don't forget that you can pick up the fabulous Bro & Co collection from the Lottie Loves Paper shop.

This Matters | Moodboard Inspired | Hip Kit Club

Tuesday 28 July 2020


 
Hey everyone and welcome to my latest layout for Hip Kit Club. I've used the JuneHip Kits. Today's layout is inspired by the July Moodboard. I really love this month's moodboard, it's full of oranges and reds and pinks and just screams summer. I was inspired by lots of things on this moodboard: the colours, the rainbow, the 'you fill me with sunshine' quote, the wonky circles with words in, and the glitter.

I used two cut files: Sunshine on my Face, and Rainbow Dreams. Both are subscriber cut files which means you have to be a Hip Kit Club Subscriber to access these files. You can find them in the June Downloads section.


Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you have enjoyed this layout as much as I enjoyed making it. I really love moodboards and this one really inspired me in so many ways to add lots of things to my layout. You can view the process video below. 

Happy scrapping

Bad Boys | Lottie Loves Paper | Simple Stories Bro & Co

Friday 24 July 2020




Hey everyone, here is a new layout and video for Lottie Loves Paper, using the fabulous new Bro & Co collection by Simple Stories.

I wanted to use that fabulous paper with all the words on and I wanted it to be a large feature on my layout but I needed some white space to put my photo. So I tore a very large piece for the top of the layout and a small piece for the bottom of the layout. This way I ended up with a white strip in the middle where I could put my photo.

I also added a 'so cool' title by Bramble Fox that I've had in my stash for a while and it went perfectly with this layout. I finished with a few sequins by Spiegelmom Scraps
I hope you have enjoyed this layout and don't forget that you can get the Bro & Co collection by Simple Stories in the Lottie Loves Paper shop.
