Easel Scrapbooking layout

 


A few months ago while making an Easel card for a swap, I got an idea......... How about an Easel Scrapbook layout.......  This intrigued me so much that I got planning right away! It did take about a week for me to come up with the perfect way to attach the easel flappy bit to the base though seamlessly.. This was important to me. 

It finally occured to me to use the long barcode strip that we usually just cut off cardstock or pattern paper before we use it. I simply scored it then glued the easel paper piece onto that.. It folds up and closed with ease... yay!! 

Easel Scrapbooking Layout


I used a Kasiercraft collection for this and did use up a fair chunk of the papers and colour cuts within this design as I knew I bought the collection solely for this project purpose. 
Something I really struggle is using up entire collections on one project unless I know at the time of purchase that that is the plan... lol 


This can of course differ in design style with limitless options for flaps, pockets and photos.. I even added a shaker underneath the main front feature photo. 

It would make a unique gift for a birthday, wedding, party for signatures or any other celebration as you could use this as home decor by putting it on display to admire..  (I have a Christmas Easel layout scheduled on this blog soon, so definitely keep your eye out for that)

How to follow a Sketch - July 2022

 How to Follow a sketch - July 2022


This sketch is certainly completely different to the actual DT layout I put together using this design.. 

The biggest change would be that my DT layout I used cut out stars as a shaker element, but here I've used a star stencil on top of a white cardstock base for a flatter style feature. 

(Check out my original DT layout blog post here)

3 mini swap pockets - simple stories vintage coastal


These super cute mini pockets were put together for a swap..

 I used the Simple Stories - Vintage Coastal collection. 

Although there were specs for the pockets, I added plenty of little cluster and elements to make these as much "my style" as I could.. 

I believe in creating something good enough that I would want to receive too. 
Quite often for simple swaps like this, I add extra goodies as gifts to surprise my swap partner.. Things like acetate sheets layovers / bling / lollies / colour cuts packets / washi tape / dies / stencils..

King of the Cave - custom gift album

Recently I had a custom order request for a male themed photo album flip book. 
The main criteria was to have plenty of space for the recipient to add their party photos and notes to.

I used the Bee Arty Colour Blast - King of the Cave paper collection..

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.
