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!  





Let me know what you think! 
Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..

Garden Inspired layout

 Garden themed inspiration layout created for a Scrapbook Fantasies cyber challenge.


I loved putting this together.
May not have enjoyed the fussy cutting quite so much, so I made sure I used all of those suckers! Although I think I cut off more scraps than I kept..
I used the Imagine with Alice collection from Scrapbook Fantasies.

Isn’t this rainbow cut out adorable!!
I added a green foil to back it.
Of course I layer most of the elements on this layout with foam dots.
I believe that even the simpler designs like this, can be taken to an extra level with something as basic as layering. Which obviously is one of my favourite additions, as you probably recognise by now anyway.





Let me know what you think!

Pink Rectange - double window shaker layout

 Thanks so much to the White with One challenge group, I have always loved their unique challenge themes and got excited by the simplicity of the challenges from their Cyber crop from March.

Challenge 1 - white with one colour + 1 shape.
I chose to use PINK & RECTANGLES.

I wanted to share this layout with you as it’s an interactive design with 2 double sided shaker window fronts that open up to another layout with more photo opportunities too.
A few of the elements I added for the rectangle effect - I created my own stencil from scrap pieces to use for the blending. Drew on some more rectangles to trick the eye into a flat 3 dimensional idea too.
Very minimal products to create this layout - 2 white cardstock + 2 photo mats from scraps, 2 A4 Acetate pieces and shaker elements, 1 & half pattern paper (kaisercraft Sunkissed collection), 1 pink cardstock, half a glitter cardstock piece plus flowers and chipboard to cluster.
I haven’t seen anything like this specifically done before, but it was pretty easy to put together once I got my “it’s 12:30am and can’t sleep” ideas fitting together.















PRO TIP - do not push down on chipboard with hot glue on the back if there are gaps in the design.. It burns and hurts!
