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!

Dream layout

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.
