Hello everyone and thank you for visiting our blog today! I am excited to bring you another 12x12 layout I have created using the Felicity Jane "Jane" kit. I don't usually turn to green and yellow colour pallet, but the green of my son's shirt in the photo and the beautiful green paper with the hearts was all I needed. :)
I went for a very simple design and kept the patterns and embellishments in the top third of the page. Much like I did for my previous two FJ layouts, I used the stamped images that I had pre-stamped and cut, as embellishments. It absolutely helps me make use of them. I will be doing that with my next kit as well! Let me know if you try it too!
I absolutely adore these black die cut pieces, and almost hoarded them, but the strong black against the grey of the patterns was too beautiful to resist. I also love the contrast it had against the bright glare in the photo. Again, not the most perfectly taken photograph, but I like it. :)
Here is the finished product. Let me know what you think!
I hope you have enjoyed the two layouts every Thursday last month. I enjoyed creating them! I am hoping to continue posting two layouts every week, although there will only be one on Thursdays, and I have decided to start a new series on Saturdays. Tune in this Saturday for the first video of our new series "Smash your Stash Saturdays." In the meantime, check out this process. :)
Thanks so much for visiting and looking! See you for the next process! xo Imelda
Hi everyone! Well As you can see from the heading, I have TWO 12x12 processes for you today! Woohoo! Kids and I are on what we call March Break here in Canada. I guess in the States you might call it Spring Break. I don't know if everyone gets a spring break or just College/University students, but here March Break is for elementary and secondary students, "Reading Week" is for University/College. Anyhow, I decided that I was going to use my March break to video lots of process videos for you since I have been so inspired by the February 2017 Felicity Jane Kit "London". I am expecting my March kit tomorrow and know that I will be busily working on that, so every Thursday I am posting two layouts! I'm surer excited! The first layout for this week is entitled My Whole World.
I knew since I didn't get to use it on the last layout that I wanted to use the "my whole world" stamp. Having the stamps out, I decided that I wanted to stamp some more and added some of the flower stamps which I fussy cut and used as embellishments. The only things I used that were part of my stash were the doily, Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in black, and the enamel dots. This kit was perfect to mix and match to suit a layout I feel is well balanced with femininity and masculine elements.
You can watch the process here:
The second layout I created for today is "#LOL". It is a layout of my daughter while we were out for dinner as a family. I believe she was being her usual silly little self, and speaking in her own made up"language". We had to try to guess what she was trying to say, but of course that wasn't so easily done. All of our guesses were equally as silly as what she was actually saying. Regardless, we had lots of fun!
Again, I used the Felicity Jane London kit. I absolutely enjoyed fussy cutting the flower paper and really love the little hint of teal I left. I backed the photos onto white card stock to give it the Photo Booth feel and mounted them all on some tulle. I am still obsessed with tulle - which is a good thing because I have heaps of it!
I layered the flowers, some flat, some on dimensional, some half and half, and placed them all behind the tulle on the right side of the layout. I did not want to detract from the flowers so the rest of my embellishing occurred on the left side of the layout. I focused on pinks, blacks and white.
Here is the process:
These layouts were so easy to create since I felt very inspired by the products! I hope to use the stamps much more! Please subscribe to our YouTube channel as there will be many more layouts to come!
Enjoy your "March Break" "Spring Break" or whatever you call it. Hope you have found some inspiration and are creating beautiful things!
Good Morning Scrappy world! We have a new process video up and running for you to check out! In this video Linda created a layout using her scrap bin. This bin has been overflowing for quite some time and so she decided to make use of it. My sister has had this photo for a long time, it is a photo of my nephew as a baby (he is now 6!). He actually fell asleep the way it is pictured so as a scrapper, she just had to document that. Linda kept the layout simple because she plans to add this to her album next to an already busy layout beside it in the album is quite busy. Items used: *Scraps of paper*Pebbles - Gift tags *Embelishment gems *Stazon - Jet Black *iheart studio + Studio Calico - Stamp Set Tune in and have a look at the process and the final product! We hope you enjoy!
Hi everyone, Imelda here! Just wanted to share with you a little lot of scrappy goodness I picked up this past weekend. My husband needed to go to Quebec (we live in Ontario) to pick something up for work and so we decided to take the kids with us for a looooooong car ride. I made the most of the trip by looking up a scrapbook store in the area. I wasn't expecting to find much, especially because there doesn't seem to be much where I live, except for Michaels. I was so excited to find a store just 30 minutes from the hotel, in the direction of where we were headed!! My daughter and I went in and instantly fell in love with everything!! We went to Scrapbook Centrale. Click the video below for all the scrappy happiness I picked up for only $104 Enjoy!
