Scrap Plezier Reveal

Hello there Friends

It is reveal day at Scrap Plezier and I have created a travel themed layout using the Prima Santorini collection.

Santorini is on top of my travel bucket list, so after I came across the Prima collection, and then a photo from Google Images, I just had to scrap this bucket list item!!

I cut 4 squares of patterned paper to 14cm square, and distressed the edges. I then adhered to the base.  I took the cut off strips and distressed the edges and then adhered to the centre of the right hand squares to go under the photo.  

I mounted the photo onto craft foam and placed in the centre of the squares, slightly to the top half. Cut further strips, distress and adhere.

Finish layout with journalling spot and Prima Say it with Crystals, and Doodlebug Designs sprinkles, and a couple of chipboard stickers from the Santorini collection pack.

Thanks for dropping in today.

Until next time

Sketches In Thyme sketch #374

Hello Srappy friends

It is the last sketch of May at Sketches in Thyme, and again it is a fabulous sketch, using a large 10x8 picture!



I chose to scrap a photo of myself and my great niece, Lucy.  As a regular visitor to my blog you would have seen many photos of Lucy, and I will not apologise for that - she is just divine, and the first girl in the family since me!



My obsession with Cocoa Vanilla Studios Midnight collection continues, but unless I get my hands on some more, it will soon be all gone :(

I flipped the sketch to scrap my portrait orientation photo.

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you again soon

The Studio Challenges

Hello Scrappy Friends

This fortnights challenge at The Studio Challenges is the Power of Three, and I loved this one as I had to use 3 photos which is not something I would normally do.

So, I used 3 photos of 3 generations of the family, 3 patterned papers, 3 manufacturers - Kaisercraft, Cocoa Vanilla Studios and Pink Fresh Studio.  I also used 3 colours - pink, green and white, (although the green looks blue on my screen :( .  A three word title using the word three, 3 embellishment clusters in which I used 3 circle diecuts.  There are also 3 enamel dot clusters, or which I have used 3 enamel hearts in.  There are also 3 triangles, which are three sided :)

I think thats it.

How would you go?  Head over to the blog and check out my fabulous design team mates creations - you wont be disappointed, and whilst you are there, why not join in?

Till next time

Scrap Plezier Reveal

Hello there friends

It is reveal day at Scrap Plezier.

Another super simple layout where I dug deep into my stash and knocked over another photo of my youngest son. 

I am back to loving white cardstock backgrounds so started with a sheet of Kaisercraft Smooth White.  I cut some different width strips from a Vicki Boutin 12x12 paper pad and adhered them to the base.  I then folded the long edges for texture.  I glued a Kaisercraft Distress Photo Overlay to my photo.  Once in place, I took 2 older packs of Kaisercraft diecuts - Game On and Off the Wall, and placed these around my photo.  I journalled on a tag from the Game On collection, tied a bow with some twine, added some strips of Simple Stories Basic washi paper strips, added the date to a tab, created the title with American Craft Thickers and Simple Stories alpha stickers, and finished with some plain brand puffy tiny stars.

Shows you can mix your manufacturers - old with new.

Thanks so much for stopping by today - hope to see you again soon
