Giving new things a whirl

Hello fellow Crafters!!

Im sharing another layout thats recently been published. This was made using the Scrappy Canary April Mayfair Scrapbook kit, and features in Vol 18, Issue 5 of Scrapbooking Memories Magazine

I've been wanting to try out the technique of using the negative of an alpha set, and thought what a better set than this one with its multi coloured letters!! This was so much fun to make, and turned out awesome!

Ive used multiple photos of Leila's first day at Kinder this year. Backed them all with papers from the kit and flagged each of them with vellum for notes. Each of them is popped up with some foam tape above, yet again, a signature doily ;)

A quick journal note about the day, on the tag provided in the kit, embellished with a star clip and puffy stickers from Studio Calico

I wrote my journalling straight onto the page, something that I've not been adding to layouts recently.

Lastly a close up of the negative alpha background, and a card from the cut apart sheet. I've added a strip from the Espresso sheet to use as my title

Thats all from me today

Thanks for stopping by, Happy Scrapping

Be Happy

Hello fellow crafters

Im back to share another layout I made with the January 2015 kit from A Piece of Cake Designs. 

I couldn't share this after I made it, as it was picked up for publication by Scrapbooking Memories Magazine. You can see it in print within Vol 18, Issue 4

The papers and embellishments within this kit were so pretty. 

Very me, and very suitable for layouts of Leila. 

Featuring lots of Dear Lizzy prettiness, including a cut apart paper title :)

Ive managed to sneak a few pieces of my 'signature' doily into this layout.. They seem to be appearing on everything Ive made lately! They're so pretty and delicate

As mentioned above, Ive used the Dear Lizzy cut apart paper to layer up and use as a title for the page. I like this for a change, rather than using alpha stickers

My usual multi layer layout is complete with the addition of my favourite vellum, and some tiny staples to keep it all together :) Who needs adhesive when you have a Tiny attacher

Thats all for today
Thanks for stopping by
Happy crafting x

Hello everyone
I have another published layout to re-share
You can see it published in Scrapbooking Memories Magazine Vol 18, Issue 1

This was made last year (2014) as part of a challenge on the Studio Calico Member boards. We were to scrap lift the person who commented above us. It was so much fun!

This is what I came up with after having a play with last years birthday present, my Silhouette Cameo.. something I really need to get back out and play with more!

You can see where I took my inspiration from HERE on my Studio Calico member post :)

Thanks for stopping by, more to share very soon

Brilliant & Glamorous

Hello!!

A super late night share for me tonight. 

Im re-sharing a layout I made earlier in the year that was published in Scrapbooking Memories Magazine!! This is the second layout Ive had published by SBM, you can find it in Issue: Vol 8 No 2 

Anyways.... The Bella Rouge collection by Pink Paislee is so sweet. Pretty pinks, soft greys with a touch of black and yellow. Hints of silver spread throughout the Ephemera pack were calling my name!

I could have continued adding more and more little sentiments from the ephemera pack. All of which worked perfectly with my chosen photo. But I didnt want to overdo it too much.

I layered up complimenting papers from the 6x6 paper pad, with a good ol trusty doily from Studio Calico's "studio selections" . I've just recently placed an order for a few more packs, they seem to compliment most paper collections that I've been using lately, and finish off pages just nicely.

A sparkly butterfly bow adds the perfect touch of sparkle to my page, just like Leila adds a touch of sparkle to every day :)

Thats all for tonight. Be sure to pop back soon for another layout share, another using this months Scrappy Canary kit 

Happy Scrapping
