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! 


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

GDT Uniquely Creative - Hello layout

 

During August I was lucky enough to be asked and featured as a GUEST DT member using their incredible Creative Kit - Among The Gum Trees


HELLO

As I bring this second week to a close with the final project to share with you of the projects from this kit, I thought it would be fun to have something a little different.. 

A white based layout with some coloured stencilling.. 


The photo mat sits on top of a leftover scrap pieces and plenty of fake layers.. I can tell you this mat is THICK! lol.. 
Some hessian for texture, fussy cuts and metal cuts for the clusters and colour cut word for the title.







Let me know what you think!

GDT Uniquely Creative - Memories

During August I was lucky enough to be asked and featured as a GUEST DT member using their incredible Creative Kit - Among The Gum Trees


MEMORIES


Well, what can I say about this layout?? There is so much I honestly don't even know where to start.. 

Please watch the video above for all of the instructions and steps that I couldn't possibly get down on paper.. 


Although all of the photos here are mixed up, if you scroll you'll get a general idea of how it's put together with some shuffling.. lol .  SORRY.. 


I started off with a frame base and then placed another piece of pp over the middle for the major design element to feature on. 
Three adorable photos of Hunter from the Gem Fields holiday a few years ago, sit on top of single layered circles. 
The top layer of circles though are interactive, with four circles glued together to create a sort of flip / fan sort of element.



Using scraps after cutting out the circles, I used some strips as fake layers under the main center paper piece and the scraps from the blue papers to metal die cut the wire design.. 
Don't forget the random stencilling too.
