No Ordinary Day!

 Hi,

Today I'd like to share a layout I have made of my son doing his favourite thing which is performing magic. On Red Nose Day this year he put on a small performance at his work place (his day off) for customers and staff.

For this layout I have used the wonderful No Limits Collection by cocoavanilla.com which I picked up at themadscrapper.co.uk . I gutted out the centre of spark paper and then chose a white bazzill and to that I added some stencilling using Bramble Fox #28 using distress inks, I also used the heart and the star stencils by Tim Holtz. On the photo below you can see them a little better. You can also see a couple of tags I made and to that I added a little saying. The big black super-star is by bramblefox.co.uk  and they come in 4 different colour choices.

On this next close up you can see I have cut out 4 playing cards from a 12x12 paper I had in my stash and I have tucked them in to a tiny strip of paper with the globe cut from the  universal page along with a paper-snips-001banner

Here you can see another star and a the perspextive arrow which was from one of this years FoxBox subscriptions. The Snapped and Yay it's Friday are Paper Snips I had to place that one there to hide the 2 customers.

A close up of this perfect sentiment from the universal sheet.

Here you can see I made up a little stack to mount my photo on to, I tucked strip of card suits down the side and added the little "bulldog" style perspextive to the top.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you feel inspired to grab your papers and play. I've added links where I can.

Sue.

Autumn Walk!

 Hello,

Today I share another layout for themadscrapper.blog and this time it is using beautiful papers, rub-on's and leaves from 49-and-market along with a stencil from the-dusty-attic and the title is a bramblefox  perspextive.

I have taken the b side of Seasoned and used a tree bark stencil to add gesso to the top right and bottom left, which when dry I brushed over some metallic bronze paint and then went around with some distress ink. I decided I wanted to add a boarder so I cut it down to 11&1/2 and mounted in on to a saved piece of Enjoy Today by Maja Designs.

I love to watch the YouTube video's that 49andmarket put out and I picked up the idea of mounting a slice of another paper across the centre of the page which I have done here using the b side of the journaling cards. You can see below how I have added ink through the leaf stencil and then drew around using a fineliner pen. The idea is not to be exact, I also inked the distressed edges. I don't throw anything away and so I tucked a small amount of Splendor behind along with some cardboard for lift.

You can also see I love to keep and use the manufacturers strips and the mushrooms are from Hike More-Boscage paper.

I have made a tag from a cut off and again used manufacturers strips both at the top right and tucked above the centre panel. I have also painted a piece of paper with the same metallic paint and used the stencil again to make my own leaf sprigs.

Here again is another strip being used along with some Perfect Pearl's in green and pumpkin. I matted the photo on bazzill paper in carrot-cake.

This next photo shows you the leaves I made along with the Rub-on's and the beautiful acetate leaves.

The little tag finished off with some brown ribbon and a couple of scraps finished with my notebook punch.

I made a couple of flag style banners and used a paper-snips on there too. Youcan just see a little of the Rub-on text there.

This is a closer look at the title, a beautiful perspextives. 

I really enjoyed making this layout and I hope you enjoy it too. Thanks for stopping by and please go over to www.themadscrapper.co.uk to check out all the lovely goodies Janine has in stock. There is a full list of what I have used below.

Sue.
