Make It Monday With Linda - Scrapbook Process #11 *XOXO

Hola!!!

I am so sorry that I am posting so incredibly late on the blog, to be honest Imelda is the one that keeps up with this and she normally makes the post when it slips my mind. She is now away on a little snowboarding trip so its up to me to get this week going.

For some time now I have been on Pinterest just browsing and looking at layouts to get some ideas of what colors to pair with orange. I came accross a layout on that I really liked and thought to myself just go with it. They used the XOXO and that is what stood out when I seen the layout....So naturally I decided to do one of my own. I used my sisters Shiloutte and cut out the XOXO in white cardstock,

and the background is a faint greyish blue cardstock. the the patterend paper well, if you don't know me already I am all about using my scrap bin. I also used tissue paper, and I can thank IMELDA for that, she uses alot more mixed media than I do and just watching her create is awesome!!!!!!

This picture is of my daughter when we were on a cruise and she was sitting in the orange stroller and just those eyes.... how can you not make a layout just for this picture!!!

I hope that you like it as much as I do, and if you have any questions or just want to say HI.. Make sure to leave a comment below!!!

Lay It Out Thursday with Imelda - Scrapbook Process # 9 *Favourite Place

Hi Everyone!
Well I'm back after a one week (unintentional) hiatus. The hubs and I went to Negril Jamaica for a destination wedding. It was absolutely amazing! Even more so since we live in Canada and have been having a cold cold winter! 

I had this layout completed and filmed before we left for Jamaica and fully intended on recording the voiceover and posting last Thursday. I underestimated how much of a pull the sun has on me and so I didn't get the opportunity to get anything done. My laptop spent a lonely week inside a safe. Anyhow, I'm back now and here is the post!

I began with the Studio Calico June 2015 Kit Galileo in mind and wanted to scrap two, maybe three of the photos that I used. I am still getting the hang of printing on my Canon Selphy - sometimes they come out too big, sometimes too small. This time, the photos were too small to cut apart and so I decided I would just use the collage as is - with 7 photos!!! I printed the photos in colour, but didn't like the combination of the colours with the elements in the Galileo kit, so I turned to the August 2015 SC Kit Pop Art. The colours worked out much better.

The layout was an entry to the Scrapbook.com January 2016 Round Robin Challenge. I was on Team 4 week 3. The layout before me had the focus in a circle and so I ran with that. I used the acetate circles included in the kit. I sewed over the circles with my sewing machine and added some splatters and sequins. I'm not crazy about the background paper that I matted my white sheet on but it is done. I might have to go back and change it later. 

Have any of you ever gone back and changed a layout after you considered it to be done? I am seriously considering it for this one. 

This weekend my sisters and I are going to a 24 hour all night crop and so I hope to have lots of material to post in the coming weeks! Stay tuned. Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Make it Monday With Imelda - Process Video #6 *For You I Will

Hi Everyone, 
I hope you are all having a great start to the week! I'm here with another process video! I created this layout for the Scrapbook.com December challenge Scraplift the Person Before you. You can find the challenge forum here. In order to participate, you sign up and that order dictates who you will scrap lift. I signed up after t-towngirl and so I had a look through her gallery. I decided on her two page layout "1984 Olympics." I really liked the grid design she had going on the right page and decided to lift that. I shrunk down the design and kept it quite minimal.  You can watch the process here.

Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful week! Enjoy your holidays!

Make it Monday With Imelda- Scrapbook Process # 4 *A Boy & His Tia

Good Morning Everyone,
It's Imelda here with another scrapbook layout process video. This layout was created for the Scrapbook.com December Scraplift Your Favourites, Hoarders, and Mixed media challenges. My inspiration can be found in the Scrapbook.com gallery. It was created by Kris Berc. Here is layout:

I really liked her work with the background and the pop of black throughout. I emulated that with gesso and mists for the background. I also used gesso and a cloud stencil. For the black I used it for layering and my Heidi Swapp banner. Here is my take:

Hope you enjoy!
