May Gibbs - Paper Rose layouts

More fun with the May Gibbs designs from Paper Rose.

This time there 3 simple designed layouts using the Christmas collection.

LAYOUT 1

LAYOUT 2

LAYOUT 3

I've started this third layout, but struck a small problem.

I had an idea in my head. I have done that idea. But now unsure on what my next step with be to finish the layout off...

Or I could just do something very me with my new assessment of how scrapping brings joy for me, and simply be ok with it being done cause I've already successfully achieved what I had imaged anyway...

 Let me know what you think!

May Gibbs - Paper Rose Hexagon Explosion Box

This beautiful May Gibbs Classics collection 6x6" paper pad has been used with the pre- ready to craft Explosion box.

I used 2 sheets of each paper design.

Layers 1 & 2 - cut mats to 2 7/8" squares

Layers 3 & 4 - cut mats to 3" square

Layer 5 / base - cut mats to 3" square

Using the leftovers from each of these to cute out fussy cut images.

I also used the last 6x6 paper design for the inside of layer 1 and fussy cut all of those beautiful images out too.

To finish off the box, add some flowers.

Ephemera Queen - Interactive layout

Alright.. Here we are........ One of my fav interactive layouts I've done. I had added some twine & mesh ribbon, but other than that I have stuck to only the paper & stickers than came in the Graphic 45 12x12 collection kit. I have had this collection for a while (since it was first released).... I forgot about it until I had my big paper tidy up last week. 😆 This video shows the measurements, paper choices & assembly of the interactive base.

Off camera I added the embellishments & clusters. But stick around, as there is a completed share & show video at the end and some photos to finish it all off. Feel free to mute me & fast forward if you want.. lol. Measurements: A- 12x12 (this is your base) B- 12x10 score at 1" for flap - 11x10 C- c + c1 9x6 ... i 3x12 D- d + d1 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 E- 9x9 F- f 8x5 ..... 2x sliders for e pockets 7x6 G- 12x6 1/2 score at 4 & 8 fold into an accordian - 6 1/4 x 4 (this will slide into f pocket window) H- 10x10 extra cardstock - 2x slider for d pockets 7 1/2 x 4 - 8x Waterfall 6x4 score at 1/2" for flap - 5 1/2 x 4 Acetate - 7 1/2 x 4 1/2 (for f pocket window) Assembly order: A - I - adhere H to B flap, stick down H - cut slit in E - add C & C1 flaps together & adhere to left back side of E - stick down E on too of B - Cut 1" window frame from F - adhere Acetate to back of F frame - adhere to under the slit on E (use foam tape to 3D window to make pocket) - slip in all the pocket sliders - open B to side to reveal H - on top of H add the Waterfall flaps. Then enjoy & embrace your creative process by adding whatever embellishments you wish..

Photos below are definitely out of order, sorry! The best option is to watch the video for assembly and project share at the end once it's all put together..

Tip - How to diagonally cut your 12x12 paper

 TIP for the day..

On one of the crafty fb groups someone asked how to cut diagonally down a 12x12" page, as the cutters / trimmers don't fit the paper in...

Many people were suggesting long rulers or folding it.. But of course, me being me and loving a good puzzle walked into my craft room to find a solution that wouldn't damage the paper or having to buy another tool that will rarely be used..

USE YOUR CRAFT MAT!

We all have craft mats of some kind...

Slide your paper under diagonally, line it up. Draw the pencil line & then cut with the scissors.

No extra cost & no damaging the paper your about to use or the other scrap side for future projects..

School Days - Class of

 Here is the second in my BACK TO SCHOOL layouts to share. 

I used a very very old Kasiercraft collection - Class of 87'. 
I only used a few papers and designed the layers and embellishments from them. 

And of course, to use up as many scraps leftover as possible, I put together 3 quick cards and a tag. 
Very simple projects that will give such pleasure when we are ready to gift them. 

This layout has been left blank until I find an adorable photo from grade 3 of my boys... Or until it simply gets slipped into the storage box under the bed.. lol

School Life

 A very simple BACK TO SCHOOL layout featuring the Simple Stories - School Life collection. 

TIP: When putting something on straight on top of crocked layers, it's always handy to use a T Ruler!

This layout definitely showcases in my 45min layout series folder.
 It honestly didn't take long at all with these simple layers and 4 sheets of pattern paper. 

With the leftovers, I then made some quick 10min card / project ideas to use up the scraps. Worked a treat.

I can not express the words for how grateful I am for this opportunity. 

I have found myself with some extra time on my hands since finishing up my job at the local craft store, so this with my love of sketches is the prefect timing for me. YAY!

Today I wanted to share with you this layout I have put together for my first reveal using this months challenge sketch by Brenshevia. 

SWEET

This layout features a truly magical photo of my sister in law with my gorgeous niece and nephew.

They are absolutely glowing, so of course it was the obvious choice to use for this sketch and the Uniquely Creative "Secret Garden" collection. 

So darn cute!

Well that's it for me this time. Make sure you drop over to the Let's Get Sketchy challenge blog and facebook page for more inspiration from the other incredible DT members!!
