Love shades of Pink layout CM

Love shades of Pink layout


On the weekend I attended a local crop.
It was so lovely to be in the room with like minded lady, all encouraging & supporting each other. With everyone being a varying positions in their creative journeys, it was fun to share some tips & tricks and learn some myself too!
I threw this layout together as part of the crop challenge. Use 3 shades of one colour.
So obviously I choose Pink (with Red included) and just put together a basic & simple layout design that anyone no matter of experience level can follow along with.

Tulla & Norbert - April crop challenge

Tulla and Norbert - April crop challenge


Had some fun doing the April challenge for a local crop group here in Yeppoon.
Challenge was to use 5 photos on the layout.
Using Tulla & Norbert from PhotoPlay I quickly threw this one together.
Super cute, took me barely 30/40min..
Has the interactive flap element with two 3x4” photos on top, two 3x4” on the backside and the 4x6” mat sneakily underneath.

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!

Lifetime - Squares layout

Lifetime 


As soon as I saw the theme for challenge 6 A LOT OF SQUARES from the cyber crop with Scrapbook Fantasies, I drew a sketch straight away.
The Islands collection pattern paper was perfect for this design.
#1 - 12x12" base
#2 - 10x10" blue mat
#6 - 9.75x9.75" white board
#1 / #2 / kraft cardstock - 4x4" squares
white cardstock - 4x4" for photo mat in the middle
#1 / #2 / #6 - 1.5x1.5" mini squares
The only CURVES on this layout came from the Embellishment clusters with the vellum and colour cuts from The Island collection and Finished off with small title chippie "lifetime"
texture added with distressed and inked edges.
This layout is again very simple, it's focused with the design being placed in the bottom right corner for a little twist on what's normally designed.

Home for the Holidays - Circle layout

Home for the Holidays


This little beauty was created as Inspiration during a recent Cyber Crop held by Scrapbook Fantasies in aide of the Australia's Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser. 

One of the challenges was to create a layout featuring CIRCLES. 
So of course, I got straight into it with the circle grid pattern for many layered Photo and Cluster mats. 
The dot pattern paper background really makes everything pop though!

The entire of this layout is made using Scrapbook Fantasies products: 
Gnome for the Holidays collection
Peace and Joy collection

Flippy Pocket Album


Flippy Pocket Album


This was such a fun flippy album to put together.. I know, I know, I have been saying that about everything lately. But I have been enjoying the creative spark that is back so much that I joined another swap group to keep the projects flowing.


This project was made using the Lemoncraft - "Autumn Twilight" collection.
















Basically, I think what I'll be doing is a couple weeks of Swaps, then a couple weeks of Scrapbook layouts just to keep the flow going and making sure there is always something different for me to focus on when I have the time.

Let me know what you think!
