Circle & Stars layout

Another challenge layout from the White With One cyber crop over the weekend.

Challenge 1 - use one colour plus two shapes.

So I chose an “Altantic” blue with Circles & Stars.

I can not believe the inspiration that smacked me in the face when I found a 10yr old packet of Heidi Swapp stars in my stash..

Then adding a fun blue & silver star pattern paper from Kaisercraft set this up perfectly.

I used Silver as the additional element to tie it all together (bit like how we normally use Black or White)…

Adding in the stencil circles on the base, punched out different size half circles on the blue pp and then diecut both white & silver circle bubble clusters for more flat dimensional texture. A very quick & easy layout that was actually quite a pleasure to put together and it flowed so well. Yay!

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..

Leaves Glore

 Another project inspired by the Scrapbook Fantasies cyber crop challenges from March.. .

Leaves Glore

Life is measured by moments

I know the layouts are suppose to have photos. But I’m not interested in ‘prizes or comps’.. I’m just super stoked to have made the steps to be creating and excited about the process again.

I truly loved putting this layout together!

There was even some fussy cutting involved with minimal whinging..

Using the Kaisercraft “Fallen Leaves” collection, I may have been designing this in my head during work yesterday.. Thankfully it turned out exactly what I was hoping for.

Plenty of layers with papers, cuts, stencils and even some acetate included in the 3x4 photo mats too. All elements that make this pop in real life as the eye takes it all in..

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.

Grand Bazaar Card + Layout

You may recongise vaguely the design of this layout... It's actually one that I did many, many years ago but loved so much that I have scraplifted myself several times.. This time it was for a local class.. Again, another class that was a hit and extra kits with measurements & instructions had to be made up for crafters afar.. 

The collection is from Kaisercraft and with their two sided pattern paper the bold colours popped no matter which side was used.. 

Let me know what you think!

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..
