Forrest Friends layouts

Welcome back Scrap Crazy crafters... I am loving having some of my mojo back and getting back into the creative flow. As you all know, I love a good challenge and love a Sketch challenge even more.

So I searched through some of my old favourite challenge blogs and knew that Lasting Memories wouldn't let me down. And they certainly didn't with their April month long Sketch challenges.

LM # 695 - Feeling Sketchy 2 photo sketch

I had so much fun playing with this Kaisercraft collection - Forrest Friends that I decided to make two layouts using the same sketch.

The first interruption with one photo and an offset journal card instead.

Welcome Baby

I used a large 12x12 stencil to add the ink texture to the base to create a pattern paper base.

Finished it off with plenty of collectables in their clusters too.

For the second interruption I stuck to the two photo idea, however changed up the pattern paper strips to actually be full layered mat pieces. These are actually the leftover scraps from the layout above.

I purposely chose not to add the arrow bottoms on either of the layouts, as the collection papers just weren't giving me the feel for it. It's a cute soft baby range.

These layouts will be a gift for a friends soon to arrive baby boy, and therefore do not have photos attached or a title for this second layout. All will be added after the special little fella arrives.

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

GDT Uniquely Creative - torn layout

During August I was lucky enough to be asked and featured as a GUEST DT member using their incredible Creative Kit - Among The Gum Trees

So we are half way through catching up on posts for my August projects for Uniquely Creative. I'm hoping you are enjoying them so far.

This torn layout base was put together in about 15min..
I have shared a quick video on my facebook page featuring the tearing and layering process..

The pleasurable thing about working with generous kits like this is the fact that so much is included.. Plenty of paper in the collection pack, some additional plain cardstock, hessian and even some corrugated cardstock too which I used as the bottom base for this layout..

Tearing the pattern papers up to feature the designs and then layered using foam tape to create dimension and volume. Plenty of little embellishments and fussy cuts assist the torn edges to focus on the texture of the corrugated base and hessian photo mat.
