Hi everyone! I've been playing along with the October Sketch over on For the Love of Pretty Paper. Instead of the spiderweb or circular element, I used the haunted house that was on one of my papers - I think it works! Even though I have deviated from the sketch a little bit, I still have the two photos, the circular element over at the top right, and have used multiple words for my title!
That's why I love sketches, they are so versatile and can just be a starting point to get the inspiration going!
We are heading Back to School today with this school themed
layout using three @bramblefox Perspextives sets: Proud Moment, So Proud
Clippies and School Elements - they are so fun for documenting those back to
school moments! I've used @simplestories_
School Life collection, which I've been holding on to for a few years now!
I don’t have a huge amount of it left and my friend challenged me to make a layout
without using any patterned paper!
I mounted my photos onto journaling cards and picked out
some Journaling Bits and some tags. I arranged all these in a line across the
middle of the page. I added the So Proud Clippies to each of the elements.
I then just kept adding embellishments! I used ephemera and
stickers to create clusters and then added Perspextives to the clusters too.
I’ve used the Proud Moment perspextive for my title, which
is completely perfect for this layout.
I could not resist adding a little bit of patterned paper
though – I cut a strip and added it right the top of the page! I added a couple
of phrase stickers to this strip.
I finished off with handwriting my journaling into the
journaling space and then added splatters of black paint. I’m really so pleased
with how it turned out because I was originally worried about not having much
paper, but I think it looks great!
Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping
Do you love Autumn Colours? For this scrapbook layout I’m playing
along with the GoGo Getaway September Cybercrop Colour Challenge and the
colours are a beautiful Autumnal mix of mauve, teal, gold and browns.
I’ve used
the Acorn Lane collection by Simple Stories and have gone for a central design
with two large floral clusters. I’ve used Perspextives by Bramble Fox for my
title and extra embellishments.
Hey everyone! Here is my latest creation with Heart &
Home by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. I love gingham and check prints so was drawn to
the check side of Flurry paper. I cut it into squares by following the lines on
the paper and then layered these up in diamond formations onto a white
background.
I added in additional squares but with the other side of the
paper showing, I love that dark blue. I mounted my photo and placed this on the
bottom diamond.
I added floral clusters using Floral Ephemera and the Die
Cut Ephemera. I pinch the flowers first to give them some curl and then also
raise them on foam pads too so there is lots of dimension.
I added a title using the gorgeous Gold Title Ephemera ‘love
this’ but I also wanted to include a sub title ‘ticket to ride’ which I did
using the Mini Puffy Alphabet Stickers – these are so cute and great for titles
and subtitles.
I added some cut apart words from the Golden Fields paper
manufacturing strip, all of which I distressed the edges and raised up on foam
pads.
I finished off by adding my journaling, and some Puffy
Stickers, as well as some splatters of white paint.
Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping
Do you like layers on your scrapbook layouts? On this layout I have used lots of different
patterns from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Heart & Home A5 Paper stack to cut
lots of hearts in different sizes. I love doing this as it means I get to use
lots of patterns on one page!
I started off by cutting multiple hearts – I did this using
metal nesting dies and my Big Shot. I then spent some time layering the hearts
together, I also distressed the edges of each one before sticking them
together. I arranged the hearts down the right side of my layout, on the edge
of a large square of the Fall Beauty patterned paper, pink heart side. Once I
was happy with the positioning of the hearts, I stuck them to the pink square
and then trimmed around them. I added the pink square and layered hearts to a
white piece of card for my background. I then added some machine stitching:
through the middle of all the hearts and around the edge of the pink square.
I then added my photo, which I framed using a piece of Die
Cut Ephemera and I also added a title using one of the Gold Titles ‘celebrate’ because
in the photo we were out for my daughter’s birthday.
I kept the rest of the layout embellishments fairly simple
as I didn’t want to overpower the stacked design so I just added a few pieces
of Floral Ephemera, a few phrases from the Die Cut Ephemera and a few Puffy
Hearts. I finished off with a few splatters of gold paint.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing this layout, have a happy
scrappy day!
Hey everyone! Here is another layout using the gorgeous
Acorn Lane collection by Simple Stories. I love the mustard colour in this
collection and wanted that to be the main colour on this layout. So I picked
out the beautiful leaf paper, and paired this with a sheet of Mustard Color
Vibe cardstock. I layered them together and used these for a large portion of
my background.
I arranged three photos and a journaling card in a grid design
and then added a tag from the Tags paper, and then set to work embellishing. I
made two large clusters consisting of Floral Bits, Bits & Pieces, Chipboard
Stickers and Cardstock Stickers. I also added Decorative Brads to these
clusters.
I finished off the layout with splatters of gold paint and I
also drew a doodled border around the edge of the Mustard cardstock. I hope you
enjoyed seeing this layout, I’m really happy with how it turned out!
Hi everyone! Here is my first layout using Acorn Lane by
Simple Stories! I love the patterns and colours in this collection and all the
autumn themed icons! For this layout I used a couple of sheets of Color Vibe cardstock:
a sheet from the Woods collection of which I used the white ledger B side, and
a sheet of blue Cornflower. I used these together for my background.
I cut a large circle from the blue plaid print and also cut
a small circle from the middle of it which I turned over. I arranged these
together with three tags from the Tags paper, onto my layout together with my
two photos.
I created two embellishment clusters using Floral Bits and
Bits & Pieces. I also used a few pieces from the Chipboard Stickers and
Decorative Brads.
I added my own title using alpha stickers from the Acorn
Lane Sticker Book ‘Pumpkin kisses’. I finished off with splatters of gold paint
for a shimmery autumn feel!
Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping
Time for a Girls Night in?! For this layout I have used the
Girls Night title by Bramble Fox, as well as those fun word strips and Paper
Snips too, to make a layout documenting my daughter's 12th birthday party. The paper collection is Sweet Rush by Vicki
Boutin, that I’ve been holding on to for a while now!
I started with a strip of colourful patterned paper on a
white background. I added large embellishment clusters at opposite corners. For
these I used a number of embellishments from Sweet Rush but then added Bramble
Fox details: nail polish and lips Perspextives, face mask, eye mask, mascara
& lipstick from the Paper Snips, and underneath the photo, several phrase
strips Perspextives that say things like ‘paper time’ and ‘time with my besties’
– how fun!
For my title I used the bright pink Girls Night Perspextive.
The Girls Just Wanna Have Fun title also comes in this set, I had a hard time choosing
between the two but eventually the bright pink won. I will have to save the
other one for a different layout!
I finished off with sequins, splatters of black paint and
handwritten journaling. I hope you have enjoyed this layout and enjoy the video
too!
Hey everyone! Here is a new layout for Simple Stories using
the very pretty What’s Cookin’ collection. I rarely scrap about the things I
cook or bake so this was the perfect opportunity to scrap a story about that!
I choose a pretty pink floral pink patterned paper for my
background and trimmed it down. I mounted this onto another brighter pink
patterned paper and then added these to a white background. I folded down the
top left corner for a bit of added interest.
I then cut a wide strip of the stripy paper, cut in-between
all the stripes and cut them into v shapes. I added this strip across the
layout with a strip of patterned paper at the top too – this reminded me of the
frills of an apron! I added some zig zag machine stitching to this area and I also
added some at the top corner too.
I added a square photo which I mounted onto patterned paper
and then I added this to the layout together with lots of lovely Bits &
Pieces. I added a ‘note’ card behind the photo, chipboard apron from the
Chipboard Stickers, mixer and ‘Family Home Kitchen Food’ Chipboard Layered
Sticker.
I carried on adding lovely embellishments to my layout. I
picked out all the elements that were relevant to my photo: jar of utensils,
mixing bowl & whisk, cupcake liners, bag of flour and bag of sugar – how cute
are all these!
I added a few more bits: phrase labels from the Cardstock
Stickers, Decorative Brads and Enamel Dots. I also added some more Bits & Pieces:
the heart shapes, to my paper stripes.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing this layout come together! I
really enjoyed making it and I love how it turned out!
Do you love the Golden Days of Autumn? I love to scrap my
Autumn photos and the October Fox Box is packed full of beautiful Perspextives
to do just that!
I have used the Acorn Lane collection by Simple Stories. I
wanted to feature a large portion of that gorgeous leaf print so used that at
the top of my page and tore off the bottom corner. I added another paper layer
and some mustard pom pom trim.
Around my photo I added lots of floral and leaf ephemera, I
also added lots of leaves and labels cut from Paper Snips #42. These formed the
clusters around my photo.
I used the Golden Days title from the October Fox Box and
added several of the word strips also from the October Fox Box around it. And I
added that adorable squirrel!
I finished off with sequins and splatters of gold paint! I
hope you like the layout and enjoy the video. Happy scrapping
