Loving the Vibe layout

Loving the Vibe


The third and final layout to share from last weekends local crop is this super fun & bright layout.
The feature design element was to use the 2” strips on the background.
This can be great when using one pattern paper piece, bur still keeping the design in line while adding a different eye catching intrigue with it being spread out.
Of course, I topped it off with layers & clustered embellishments




Let me know what you think!

Heart - Tearing layout

Heart 


This one blew my heart away.
It’s a simple design, look me less than 45min to put together, but the papers flowed and the idea was just perfect.
Scrapbook Fantasies has another Cyber crop over the weekend, this one was for the Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser.
Although entries do require a photo, journal & title for submission, I’m happy just to share inspiration and ideas.
I used Springtime Tea Party collection for the pattern papers, these all fit so perfectly!
White cardstock for the base, then layered with three torn strip layers.
Bottom: 3.5” wide
Middle: 2.5” wide
Top: 1.5” wide
And the middle strip actually had a forth layer with the 1” wide strip of the Hearts design.
The outside strips have a really cool White Border Chippie cut as well. This gives another eye catching texture & element to the layout.
Keeping it simple, I added a chippie title that was coloured with Gelatos sticks, a small bit of mesh underneath as a mat and the flowers to finish it all off.










Using Scrapbook Fantasies - Springtime Tea Party collection, I’ve done up a base for the Tearing challenge and thought it would be a great opportunity to display just how versatile some layouts can be without even realising.
Below are some 3x3 photo mats, 3x4 photo mats & one 5x7 photo mat.
Moved around the page, it can give different opportunities to capture memories using LOADS of photos, just a couple or maybe only one.
Design elements like a title, journaling and embellishments can be added to suit whichever option you choose as well.
This sort of design can lead to continuous paper designs throughout a whole album if required or would great as a double spread layout!

Believe layout

Believe


This is the one that got me back into scrapping.
I stuck with something I knew and have scraplifted from myself many times before.
I needed something easy, familiar and guaranteed to make me happy.
This layout is based off a stripped background layout I had designed many years ago and have the pleasure of scraplifting from myself on the occasion over the years.
This is a prime example of how using scraps from a collection can be used to extend your projects.
We all have random pieces of varying sizes leftover without a clue what to do with them.
I hope that the simplicity I have shared with these 5 layouts can inspire you to use up even more of your leftover scraps in an easy and coordinated manner.
This layout I started out with pattern paper #3 as the 12x12” background base, Before quickly placing #5 & #6 pieces on top to layer for a base. Approx 10.5”..
Using #4 to cut the strips from (or use your own leftover pieces), stick them randomly & tightly down to another white scrap piece to hold them all together. I have found this to easier to do keep control of the pattern and the straightness of the strips as I’m working..
Finish off with chipboard pieces, photo mats & flowers.






Although this is quite an easy layout, it’s effective and can be a little fiddly with the strips. But it’s worth it and still can be fully completed under 60min.
Best not to think too much with this one. Just stick it down and away you go.






Did you know that at Scrapbook Fantasies, you are able to return your empty packets for recycling.

Bird Untitled layout

Scrapbook Fantasies   Creative Team. 



Untitled bird layout using the Boho Beauty collection by Scrapbook Fantasies.
I haven’t put a title on this layout yet. As this is one I could potentially decide to be a keeper and add a photo to in the future.
Starting off with a white cardstock base, adding some teal smooshing and side boarder strip for the base.
The next step is to glue the Boho Sweetness Rice Paper on the back of the ladder paper cut design and position onto the middle of the layout. Behind that, stick down the flag / banner style scrap strips down the right side of the layout.
I also added a photo mat, some clusters from fussy cuts & colour cuts and rub on elements for a different layer to catch the eye.












I think this is my favourite of the 5 layouts!
What do you think??

Blossom layout

Blossom



This is another strips & scraps element layout. Using leftovers can help extend the use of your collections and allow for so many more projects to be made.
Blossom started off with a white cardstock base and smooshing pink ink.
Diagonal torn floral pattern paper with thinner strips placed under it for layering.
Finish it off with some photo mats and clusters and the layout is done.
This is one that can be completed in under 60min.
So if you need a fun and fast layout design that doesn’t need too much brain power, this is a perfect example!
