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!

Dream layout

 Scrapbook Fantasies   Creative Team. 

Dream


This gorgeous collection designed by Alicia Redshaw at Scrapbook Fantasies was the perfect thing to get me back into creating again.
Using plenty of scrap pieces to put together layouts that have a strip element to them.
This layout was very quick to put together.
With a white cardstock base, 3 wider strips underneath the layered photo mats in the middle section. The Colour cut dream catcher is an absolute delight! Finished off with some gauze under the mats and some sequins for an eye catching sparkle.

Beautiful layout

Beautiful


For the next 5 days, I will be sharing my newest layouts using the Boho Beautiful collection.
For the first time in a couple of years, I’ve finally made my way back to my craft desk to strength my mental health and help my along a healing journey.
This has spurred me into a fun series I wanted to share to show you different ways that scraps can be used. I love using Strip Scraps and the next few layouts will highlight how you can extend your collection supplies to get more layouts done.
As you know, I do not add photos to most of my layouts. I apologise. It’s all about the creative therapy aspect for me.
😉
Below you will see the steps taken for this BEAUTIFUL layout. Some basic stencilling on the white background, with some drawn lines. Then used the scrap strips on the base, before layering with some larger size mats & cluster piece. Simple & effective.

Birthday batch cards

As I mentioned in my last post, I have recently re joined / re activated myself in one of the local Aussie card swap groups. 

In the address list, there are also some birthdates attached. Not everyone, but majority of the group have their dates listed, so I thought it would be nice to send a little card to each member for their special day.

I know myself that cards are a now becoming a limited and sparce thing shared between loved ones. I also I know that as we are usually the one's that are doing the gifting, we tend to be forgotten. 

So, with this in mind, I wanted to hopefully be able to spread a little smile when people that are not normally on the receiving end of the cards to get one in the mail.

RAKS box pockets

As you all may be aware from my updates, I have recently had some time back at my craft desk. The first real quality time in my creative space in a couple of years. 

To get the creative spark rolling, I reactivated myself in one of the swap groups. I used to belong to many groups, but have left most of them over the years as I found it would be quite heartbreaking. 

Anyway, I'm back active again and truly loving it. 

Below is two very quick wide pockets I made to hold some RAK's that I sent out for April. 
Very simple, but affective.

Fold Up Pocket with Side Tucks - swaps

 This was another fun swap with a cool little twist addition. 

Fold Up Pockets with Side Tucks

These were another great project to fill up with embellishments for my swap partner to use. 


I used three different Kaisercraft 6.5x6.5 paper pads. One for each. It was so good to just add collectables in the pocket slots and have everything match easily without too much thinking. 
Since this swap didn't have a specific theme, I chose to make all 3 different themes.
