Always and Forever

Welcome to a new week! I hope you are surviving in this crazy weather. With the weekend rain, it was a great opportunity for you to get some scrapping time in.

This week I bring you another page from the gorgeous Bo Bunny Enchanted range. Make sure you head over to the Scraploot online store to pick up your goodies before you make a start on these instructions. 

My beautiful photo subjects are long time close family friends and my brother’s best friend, at their wedding early last year. They were married just before we left on our overseas trip, so we were so glad we could make it. It was a very emotional and special day, it was like watching my little brother get married all over again. They also just gave birth to a gorgeous little girl that I have yet to visit, but from all the pics I have seen, she is just adorable and no doubt will be a subject of many of my layouts down the track!

So to get you started, pick up the following supplies:

And now let’s get started with putting this together. It’s all about layering and using those left over pieces of paper.

Let’s get started with the paper and cardstock.
1.     Start off using your Wine coloured cardstock as your base and ink the edges. You can also create a mat for your photo at the same time. If you don’t want to get fussy with trying to cut it out of the middle of your cardstock, then grab yourself an extra piece of cardstock. 
TIP: To make my layouts slide into my album easier, I cut my cardstock down to 30cm x 30cm before I start. Then my bulkier pages don’t take forever to try to squeeze in and I don’t get frustrated trying! 
2.     Taking your “Fairytales” paper, cut 2 pieces measuring 5cm wide x 8cm high. Distress and ink. Place the first piece 8.5cm from the left hand side of your cardstock and 0.5cm from the top. Place your second piece 7cm from the right hand side of your cardstock and 0.2cm from the bottom.
3.     Taking your “Dots” paper, cut 2 pieces measuring 6cm wide x 5cm high. Distress and ink. Place the first piece 5cm from the left hand side of your cardstock and 3cm from the top. Place your second piece 4cm from the right hand side of your cardstock and 1.5cm from the bottom.
4.     Taking your “Romance” paper, cut 2 pieces measuring 5cm wide x 5cm high. Distress and ink. Place the first piece 3cm from the left hand side of your cardstock and 6.5cm from the top. Place your second piece 3cm from the right hand side of your cardstock and 3cm from the bottom.
5.     Taking your “Rose” paper, cut a piece 22cm wide x 19cm high. Distress and ink. Place directly in the middle of your cardstock.
6.     Place Magic Mount to the back of your photo mat with your photo and place tis directly in the middle of your page.

Now let’s get embellishing!

1.     From the sheet of chipboard shapes, take the flourish and place this at the top left hand cluster of layered paper.
 2.   Take your chipboard Fleur de Lis and ink. Adhere this to the bottom right hand corner of your large piece of paper. Once it is adhered, finish with a coat of Glossy Accents.
TIP: Unless you leave it to dry for a few hours first, it’s always easier to add any wet products like Glossy Accents, after the item is stuck to the page.
3.     From the sticker sheet, take 3 different sized square shaped tiles. Add Magic Mount to the back of them and then stagger them from the bottom right hand corner of your page.
4.     From the sticker sheet, use the “Always & Forever" sticker. Add Magic Mount and adhere to the top right hand corner of your large piece of paper. 
5.     Next up, your flower cluster… this will all go to the bottom left hand edge of your photo.
-        Using one of the White Prima flowers, place this on the bottom left hand corner of your photo.
-        Using a square brad, place this diagonally under it.
-        The take another White Prima flower and place this diagonally next to the brad.
-        Then start layering with the Prima paper flowers. Using 3 patterned pink flowers, scatter them around the bundle you have created. You will create almost a circle with the flower cluster. The larger of the pink flowers has a black one just peeking out from behind it.
-        Then add a Scraploot trinket pin sticking out the top of the cluster and a sticker tag from the sticker sheet with a little bit of journaling.
-        To finish it off, take some Kaisercraft pearls and scatter them around the flower cluster. I have put a few on their own and then a cluster of 3 tiny ones here and there.
Thank you for joining me this week. I hope you have enjoyed putting this together. Stay tuned for more exciting designs from the Design Team and don’t forget to check out all the new goodies and pre orders on the online store.

Happy scrapping!

A little bit of white...

I am absolutely loving using this range! Echo Park have truly outdone themselves.

With this one I have used a lot of the journal cards and stickers and 3 large pieces of paper. I have kept a very white tone. 
Now to get started, pop on over to the Scraploot online store and have a look around. The products you need to recreate this page are listed below, but there are so many beautiful products, why just stop at these!


I hope you have enjoyed this range as much as I have. Here are a few close ups for you....

Happy scrapping.

Girly Monday Inspiration

I can’t believe Monday is here again already! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and were able to get some creative time in. To start off your week, I bring you some more inspiration from the gorgeous Echo Park Yours Truly range.
 
 
 
This one still has a girly feel but with a few darker tones thrown in as well. To get you started, head over to the Scraploot online store and grab the following stock:


I’m loving being able to use all my scraps as well. It’s a great idea to create a stack of cards with those little leftover pieces you have. The Sticker Sheets are a great idea as well and save you some time if you don’t want to drag your stamps out. They help create those quick and easy cards, especially with Valentines Day just around the corner.
 
 
 
Hopefully this has given you a few ideas for the start of the week. The rest of the team will be here during the week to dish up some more inspiration for you!

Happy scrapping!

Happy New Year!

 Welcome to 2012 and a new start to the scrapping year! I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and New Years celebrations. Over the next few weeks I will be showcasing the gorgeous Yours Truly range from Echo Park.

To start off this week, I have step by step instructions for you for the following layout:

To get started, head over to the Scraploot online store to pick up some supplies!

To recreate this layout, you will need:

Now to get started….

1.     Ink the edges of your cardstock.
2.   Using the “Honeymoon” paper, striped side up, cut a 26cm x 26cm square. Distress and ink. Place this piece in the middle of your cardstock.
3.   Using the “Crush” paper, black flourish side up, cut a 20.5cm long x 5.5cm high rectangle. Distress and ink. Place this piece 4cm from the top of your cardstock and 2.5cm from the right hand edge. From the Sticker Sheet, place the “No 021412” sticker in the top right corner of this piece of paper. 
4.   Using the “Love Notes” paper, script side up, cut a piece 18cm wide x 20cm high. Distress and ink. Place 7cm from the top and 3.5cm from the right hand side of the cardstock. 
5.    Using the “Adore” paper, dot side up, cut a piece 11cm wide x 17.5cm high. Distress and ink. Place 9cm from the top and 3cm from the left hand side of the cardstock.
6.   Using the “Love Notes” paper, black and white arrow side up, cut a piece 18cm wide x 4cm wide. Distress and ink. Place 6.5cm from the bottom and 5cm from the right hand side of the cardstock.
7.    Using the “Newsprint” paper, cut 3 cards out (Handmade Candy, Shoes for Men and Specials of Fine Vacations). Bundle together and fan out and place under the left hand side of your picture. Place your 6”x4” photo 5.5cm from the left hand side and 11.5cm from the top of the cardstock. 
 8.   Take 11cm of the black lace and place it across the bottom of the dotted paper. Stick the key from the Sticker sheet across this. 
 9.  Take the filigree heart sticker from the Sticker Sheet and stick magic mount on the back of it. Adhere in the bottom left hand corner of your page.
10. Take the red framed camera journal tag from the Journal cards paper. Adhere magic mount to the back and stick to the bottom right corner of your page. Journal if desired.
11. Ink the Fleur de lis chipboard and stick under the word Love next to your picture. Finish with Crackle Accents. 
12. Stick 3 small hearts down the left hand side of your photo.
13. Using the “Alphabet” sticker sheet, take your desired letters and place above the top right hand side of your photo.

Here are a few ideas for your left overs as well, a few quick and easy cards!

 
I hope you have enjoyed the start of this range. Don't forget to keep an eye out to see what the rest of the DT have to inspire you during the week. 

Until next time, happy scrapping!

Girl, You're The Bee's Knees - Michelle

A girly page from me this week *gasp* !!!
Though I have used the beautiful blue papers from the Echo Park Time & Seasons Collection.
This is also "Version 3" of the very simple, Friday night scrapping layout...


This time, the pattern papers are vertical and on the right hand side of the page. And to keep things interesting, I have used a splattering of Tattered Angels glimmermist and a Martha Stewart border punch ! Both brands coming soon to Scraploot !


To brighten up the layout, and give it a more "girly feel", I've embellished with gorgeous red organza rosettes by Maya Road, and black twisted burlap by May Arts. The rosettes actually come as a trim, but I got creative and cut mine into individual flowers.


I've also used some fantastic 2Crafty chipboard on the layout. This timeless piece is one half of the Vintage Elise's Dress Form pack. I've kept it raw, to go with the kraft cardstock.
To kick off your weekend scrapping, you can find most of the supplies for this layout in the Scraploot Online Store ! Have a great weekend, and Happy Scrapping !

Other:
Tattered Angels Glimmermist - Arctic Blue
Martha Stewart Border Punch
