Explore.....

Today I worked on a beautiful flower photo that my daughter took with portrait mode on her iPhone. I am pretty impressed with it.

I used the Pink Fresh Noteworthy collection. I also used a layered flower die from Kaiser and a leaf die from Sizzix (Now that I am blogging, I am really going to have to keep the names of my products! LOL)

I want to accent the slight yellow in the flower and purple, so I used yellow and the deep maroon coloured papers.

I loved putting this page together as I could use flowers and leaves as the photo itself was a flower. 

I used the title 'Explore' as I had told my daughter to have a photo scavenger hunt as she was bored. And this is one of the photos she took.

Envelope Mini Album - Heid Swapp Old School

Image
When I received Heidi Swapp's Old School to create a layout for Scrap of your Life, I knew I wanted to use it all!!!      So I decided I would do an Envelope Mini Album.  I made several 4x6 sized envelopes with We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board. And then adhered them together. I then lay out the tags and cut apart sheet to work out what colours / tags I wanted to use. I created mini pockets and used brads to make things move. I decided I would make this and give it to my daughter, so I wanted lots for her to do with it.  I left blank cards for places for her to write about the photos she will add. And I loved adding the Heidi Swapp Sticker Phrases! Such a great idea to have the description of words, such as Pretty and Happy. I then turned the envelopes over and created more pockets and decorated it with stickers form the Old School Sticker sheet. I also used some washi here and then, helping give the design an overall tied together feel. I sewed a button on and attached some

Home Sweet Home Wreath

Image
 Hello!!! I wanted to make something different, something OTP, so I stared at this Polystyrene Round base from Krafters Korner and thought, a wreath, a Home Sweet Home wreath. So I glued some background paper down, wrapped a ribbon around the base and then continued thinking.... I wanted the title to stand out, so I used Tim Holtz Faded Jeans Distress Oxide to back the Title banner paper. Once I was happy with the border to give it more depth, along with some foam stuck to the back of the banner, I started to fussy cut some leaves from the Lemoncraft - Serenity Collection and a wreath Die. I used the Fleur Thickers for the border, I felt they matched wonderfully!  I went around and around placing leaves on the outside until I was happy with the thickness of it. I then placed the leaves I had fussy cut, adding them last so they would stand out more. I felt the top and bottom needed something and played with a few things, ending up with the flowers. I am really happy with how soft and s

Here Together - Prima Golden Desert

Image
Wow!! I can't believe it is February already! Where have the laast few months gone?!? Possibly the busiest months of the year for me. I don't tend to get a lot of scrapbooking done, but I certainly get lots of photos! So my first start to blogging for Scrap of Your Life is a 12 x 12 and pocket page layout. And I get to use this beautiful Prima Golden Desert collection!  I was captivated with the succulents on the Desert Blooming paper, so even though I am not a fan of fussy cutting, away I went... and I actually found it rather soothing and relaxing (I recently purchase Tim Holtz scissors and oh boy they help immensely!) I also used it to back my photo on the pocket page layout. I like to use the same paper or embellishments when creating a double layout. Helps draw the eye across both layouts. I liked the darker elements with all the pinks and purples, so I made sure my layout was balanced to the eye with the scattering of the darker  Golden Desert - Journaling Cards    I th
