Magical Memories - Striped background

 Recently I was reminded about a couple of layouts that I have previously made and love using the one pp stripe technique. 
This is something I came up with on my own, but am aware there are many others with similar styles over the years. 

I actually made the layouts in the below screenshot as a "how to scraplift" demo on another one of my own layouts from 2020.. 
I ahve included this screenshot especially as it has the top comment from my biggest supporter, my Aunty Di.. She passed 12 months ago and it has been an extremely hard creative time for me. However I'm back at the craft desk, knowing that she would be saying "Toni Pud, you need to get back into it!" and encouraging me along the way as she always was. 

Anyway, as almost a little tribute to the layouts that I have already shared above, I wanted to creative something simple as a throw back but also with it's own little spin. 
So I made this with an tiny interactive element, by flipping open the photo to showcase more inside. 

You will need two of the #2 pattern papers for this project and about half of the #3 paper as well. 

Magical Memories #2 - Fussy Cut all design pieces. 

Magical Memories #2 - Cut along all of the weather board strips 

Magical Memories #3 - cut 4x 1" strips for additional highlights on the background. 

The only embellishment clusters I used were from the fussy cut pieces. 
However I did add a little gauze for the soft white texture element and a circle bubble die-cut piece that helps to make it feel right with the sizing and spacing of the clusters on either side of the photo mat.

There is a step by step video being edited right now for this layout, so please look back for that when released. (to be shared on Youtube, Facebook and here on Blogger)

Hanging Interactive layout

 Have you ever seen a Hanging Interactive layout before? Noooo….?!

Well I haven’t either, until I just designed one..

Please allow me to introduce to you - A HANGING LAYOUT..

This was inspired for a crop challenge hosted by Scrapbook Fantasies. Using the Fallen Leaves collection by Kaisercraft. 

I have 100% designed this, as it just kept evolving as I was going along.. 

I have learnt plenty of tricks to make it even better for next time! Definitely need to devote an entire collection for this project instead of the limited papers I had to use to keep within the challenge guidelines.

It has 13 ready to photo opportunities wnd journalling can be added anywhere basically.

It has hidden pockets, pull out mats, flip elements and an easel too.

* work in progress photos below - you can see how the easel sits up on the bottom page. 

Let me know what you think! 
Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..

Autumn Twilight double page layout

 Threw together this double page layout at the end of October, following an inspirational example sketch used in an online virtual retreat.. Being a "fall / autumn" themed collection felt perfect as the sassy ladies in the USA that were also doing the retreat had Fall themed collections to work with too.

Lemon Craft - Autumn Twilight collection.

Of course, like normal I did change a couple things up with the sketch.. Mostly the photo mats. I kept the 5 panels on the base for both sides and used the smooshing technique underneath for some colour. I am absolutely stoked how this actually ended up. Quite a easy layout to put together and even better since I had pre fussy cut a 12x12 sheet probably close to 2 years ago.. lol

Floral - Romantic Soul layout

 A basic but cute layout put together using the Scrap Boys - Romantic Soul collection for an online challenge group. 

We had to follow a sketch (which I adapted a little bit 😆) and use a Floral theme.. 

Although this one was a little hard to photograph as it looks quite one dimensional on the screen, but in real life the layers definitely pop and it's quite an eye catching layout with the busy background..

Flower Shoppe Card + Layout

 These projects using Kaisercraft -Flower Shoppe collection were designed for a local scrapbooking and card making class.. Proudly it was well received and loved so much that extra kits had to be packed up for postage to customers at a distance.. Thank you everyone for the support that I received then and now on my new adventures..

Enchanted Garden layout

 While I was teaching scrapbooking classes at a local store about a year ago, I had a request for a bold girl themed layout.. So using these Enchanted - Kasiercraft papers, I knew I could have some fun.. 

As usual while planning a beginner layout class, I always need to find the feature element or technique.. 

This one used some ink blending to shade the background, fake torn layers and a mini resin embellishment to add to the cluster. I also wanted to show that "straight mats" don't always have to be the normal, so I intentionally layered the top sections off center from each other as an OCD escape element..

Island Escape layout

The planning process for me while designing beginner layouts always feature a new technique or design element to learn.. 

This one showcased the ink sploshing on the base as well as fitting 3 smaller photos onto the one layout, using Kaisercraft papers.. 

This Island Escape layout is perfect for any summer, beach or island getaway memories..

Dream Big - Boy + Girl layouts

Dream Big 

These layouts were made for a local KIDS scrapbooking class I taught.. 
The design was super easy to adapt and change between a boy theme and girly theme using the same Kaisercraft collection.. 

 Using the scrap leftover bits I was able to put together these adorable cards too.
