Colour inspired mini clusters

 Mini Colour Inspired clusters.

How cute are these little guys.
I believe creating clusters are now my favourite thing to do...
There isn't too much throught power that has to go into it, just stick things down! Make sure it all coorindates is basically the toughest input required. lol

Although this swap was inspirated by a particular project kit set, I chose to use my own products and make them all directly related to individual colours.

Home for the Holidays - Circle layout

 

 Scrapbook Fantasies   Creative Team. 

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

Insect tags

I'm so lucky to have so many different collections in my craft room, (even after culling almost half), that I am able to make ALL of these projects that I've share so far this year without having to spend any $ on new supplies.
This also means that I am able to bring the spotlight back to some older collections and remind everyone to USE YOUR SUPPLIES.


The first I'm sharing is using the Seize the Day collection from Uniquely Creative.

Fairly simple tag with some fussy cut added pieces. Snails and Ladybugs make this the cutest little garden scene.




Next tag up was made using Bottlebrush collectable pieces from Kaisercraft.




Keeping the Kaisercraft collections flowing, I grabbed out this incredibly OLD collection "Junglebug".... Honestly, I would guess it has to be at least close to 15yrs old. lol

But seriously, how good is it that I'm using up these old supplies!
I used the 6x6 paper pad for this tag.

Features plenty of little bugs... Rhino Beetle, Snail and Butterflies

Frame clusters

 


I was on an absolute roll with making swaps last month. I actually put these together at the same time as the Pocket Windows cause I wanted to use the same collections.

Frames with Clusters

Vintage Coastal - Simple Stories
White Christmas - Kaisercraft
Happy Place - Asuka
I honestly believe I could sit here all day and put these together. It was very relaxing and since the collections all matched, I didn’t have to put too much thought into coordination. lol.

Blossom layout

 

 Scrapbook Fantasies   Creative Team. 


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!

Classic non-Nautical layout

 catching up on updating blog posts that were not shared from my facebook page. 

This layout was made in OCTOBER 2024 as part of the DESIGN TEAM projects for the NAUTICAL DREAMS collection from  Scrapbook Fantasies .


Classic Non-Nautical layout


I wanted something classical and non-themed.
This Nautical collection can be used for so much more than beach or sea layouts.
I loved working with the fussy cut flowers and again, used a Mushroom coloured cardstock to soften the base and then added Blue & White misting spraying.
This layout is all about keeping it basic with plenty of layering. Essentially, it can be done within a hour (with pre-cut fussy cutting). So it’s a quick layout that can hopefully inspire even the most time poor crafters.
I don’t have a name for it or photo yet.
I do believe it will fit a wide range of photos and add the title to match afterwards.

I'm so thankful that Alicia, Quentin and the Redshaw family saw the spark in me back in 2024 to get back into crafting. Unfortunately it fell flat pretty quickly afterwards, but I'm not back at it. April 2026.. I am trying to catch up on posting / uploading projects and working on plenty of new one's as well. 



This time I wanted something non-nautical.
It’s fun being able to share with you an off themed layout like this with such a deep themed collection.
I started with a Mushroom cardstock base and sprayed Blue & White misting sprays on and drew around the edge to create a boarder with black pen for a fun background.
Using paper #2 I cut several 2.5“ pieces of paper into 4.5 / 4.5 / 4.5 / 3 / 6 / off cut
Then a few 3” pieces into 5 / 4 / 3
The blue & red were both 2.5” wide.
Red 3 / 3 - Blue 4.25 / 1.75
INK & BOARDER all pieces with black.
Plenty of black mats just .25” wider than the pattern paper.
There really is no rhyme or reason for the placements of the paper pieces, just still them down on a diagonal angle and then use foam tape to layer.
Cut off the excess that hangs over the edge and use those to layer some more!
The flowers are fussy cut from the Blue & Red paper #6
Photo mat to fit 5”x7”, however you can adjust it to fit your own needs and add a title to finish it off!
