I Will Always Love You.....

I hope you have enjoyed the Love inspiration over the past few weeks. Just in time for Valentines Day, this is my last page using the Echo Park Yours Truly range and I bring you step by step to pull this page together.
Firstly, you will need to head over to the online Scraploot store to get you started with your supplies. 

Here is the finished product…
Now to get you started…
1.      Start with your cardstock for your base. You will need to ink the edges of this and cut a 6 ¼ x 4 ¼ inch photo mat from the middle of it (or purchase 2 sheets to save you having to cut into the base sheet). Foam mount your photo mat.
2.      From the heart side of the “Sweetheart” paper, cut a 19cm x 19cm square. Distress and ink. Place 4cm from the top and 2cm from the right edge of the cardstock.
3.      From the dotted side of the “Adore”, cut a piece 9cm wide x 18cm high. Distress and ink. Place 2cm from the left and 2.5cm from the bottom edge of the cardstock.
4.      From the black swirl side of the “Smitten” paper, cut a piece 2.5cm wide x 5cm high. Distress and ink. Place 2.5cm from the right and 15cm from the top edge of the cardstock.
5.      From the pink side of the “Newsprint” paper, cut a piece 6cm wide x 7.5cm high. Distress and ink. Place 2.5cm from the right and 3cm from the bottom edge of the cardstock.
6.      From the dotted side of the “Adore”, cut a piece 13cm wide x 7cm high. Distress and ink. Place 8cm from the right and 2.5cm from the bottom edge of the cardstock.
7.      From the dotted side of the “Crush” paper, cut a piece 5cm wide x 11cm high. Distress and ink. Place 4cm from the right and 14cm from the top edge of the cardstock.
8.      From the “Journal Cards” paper, cut the red bracketed card with the text around it. Ink the edges. Place 4.5cm from the right and 9cm from the top edge of the cardstock.
9.      From the pink side of the “Smitten” paper, cut a piece 5.5cm wide x 29cm high. Distress and ink. Place 5cm from the left edge and place against the bottom edge of the cardstock.
10.  Using the black lace, cut a 20cm piece of lace. Place along the bottom edge of the papers. Align with the left edge of your dotted piece from step #3.
11.  Take the city skyline from the sticker sheet and place above the lace.
12.  Place your photo mat above this sticker (approximately 6.5cm from the left and 11.5cm from the top edge of your cardstock).
13.  Using foam mount, take your large white Bella flower and place 2 steps of magic mount on it. Place on the bottom left corner of your photo. Taking 2 pink Green Tara flowers, tuck slightly underneath either side of your white flower. Finish the cluster with 2 2Crafty flourishes. Ink and finish with Glossy Accents.
14.  Using your fleur de lis chipboard, ink and place in the bottom right corner of the paper from step #9. Finish with glossy accents.
15.  Taking your sticker sheet, use the key and place down the right side of your photo. Taking the “All Because of You” sticker, place on the right hand side of your flowers. Take the grey ticket and journal, placing it on the top left edge of your photo.
16.  From the “Journal Cards”, cut out the “Love” and “To my heart” rectangles. Ink the edges and foam mount. Staggering them, place underneath your photo.
17.  Finally, back to your sticker sheet, take the “I will always love you” shaped sticker. Mount with foam mount and place to the top right of your photo.

And some close ups to help you out…
And for those scraps, yet another super quick card for you… a strip of paper, some stickers and floral trim! How easy can you get!
Enjoy your week and don't forget to have a go at the sketch challenge and check out the pre order discounts on offer!

Happy scrapping!

Get organised for Valentines Day

Needing to get the ideas flowing for your Valentines snaps for this year? Well look no further than the Echo Park Truly Yours range.

This layout is fairly minimal by my standards! I’ve used on a few small pieces of paper and used a journaling card and stickers to build the page.


This adorable couple is my parents. Dad wanted some new photos of them on Boxing Day and my sister had just walked out to the balcony with her camera to join in the fun and I just managed to capture them as they were looking at her and love the end result!
 
 
 
 
To recreate this page, head over to the online Scraploot store to pick up the following supplies.


Enjoy your week and keep your eyes peeled for more inspiration throughout the week from the team.

Happy scrapping!
