You Are Adored.

 Hello,

Today I am sharing another layout for The Mad Scrapper Blog and it's another using papers from 49andmarket (a full list can be found below) can you tell how I love them lol.

I started with the Butterfly Kisses page, removed the identity strip and added stitching to the top right and bottom right of the page. Then I lifted one side each of the 3 middle butterfly's. Looking what else I could do I plumped with adding Rub-On's to the right. I also added 2 frames to the base envisioning where the photo would sit.

The photo was matted onto a piece of brown and then on to a scrap of Posies, I tucked a piece of foam under to give lift. This allows me to tuck under a Laser cut green lace and flower spray. You can just see the frames peeping out. I added more rub-on's in the flower variety.

This next photo shows another layer of flowers along with a postage stamp and some Nuvo drops too.

This is the other side of the photo with another cluster of Laser cut flowers, a postage stamp and even more Rub-on's.

I added extra Rub-on butterflies around the photo.

I needed a little something in the top left so I made the 2 little fishtail flags and popped on top the little So pretty.

To finish off I added the title using another Rub-on.

49andmarket make such beautiful papers and I find myself waiting for that certain photograph to come along to use them otherwise I just give them a little stroke every now and then LOL and I know you are just like me!

Pop over to The Mad Scrapper  and check out all the beautiful papers and embelishments you could want (and then some) and look out for your perfect photo.

A Day At The Zoo!

 Hello,

Today I'm up on  The Mad Scrapper Blog with this layout of my son on a resent trip to the zoo. I've used papers and embelishments from 49andmarket and chipboards from Dusty Attic. A full list can be found below.

I started by gutting a sheet of yellowy green cardstock, I cut down the Airy sheet to 111/2 and inked the edges and distressed before adding it to the green card.  Then I decided to add some stitching to an area that has faux stitching on it, I also added some inking through the Dusty Attic leaf stencil once I'd decided where my photos were going to sit.

I added a couple of rub-ons to the right hand side and then I made a little cluster to go under one of the photos. The photo of my son with the Rhino in the distance has been matted on to the same green under the main paper.

I popped out the chipboard and gave it a coat of black gesso and when dry I added a light coat of gold acyclic paint, I think it looks a little vintage don't you? You can see I added a black outline to the leaves along with a gold pen vein to the leaves.

This next photo shows the name plate displaying the name of the zoo along with the visit date, these little chipboads from 49andmarket are a perfect way to display such things.

Here you can see a close up of rub-ons and the top of the cluster made from the collage stack.

The butterfly is a rub-on and the chipboard is from Serenity 

My sons favourite animal is the elephant and this one behind him is called Coco and is the eldest in the park and soon to be transferred to the West Midlands Safari to help with its breading programme. Coco followed him everywhere he walked around their enclosure (to be honest most animals do tend to approach him when he gets close to their enclosures) it looks as if it is talking to him lol.

Just another little look at the chipboard and also you can see that one photo has been matted 3 times and put on foam to give hight.

Thanks for stopping in again, I hope you like what I've made today and maybe you too could try adding extra to you main sheet of paper with either stencils or stitching etc.

Don't forget to pop in to The Mad Scrapper  to see all the beautiful things Janine has for you to gaze upon to start your next project.

 Hello,

I'm here today to share yet another layout made for The Mad Scrapper Blog and today it showcases a couple of photos of my husbands second love, radio controlled sailing. I am pleased to say I'm his first ha-ha.

I have chosen to use papers from 49andmarket along with ephemera from them and some out of my stash. A full list will be at the bottom of this page.

I started by taking the Uncharted paper and cutting it down to 111/4, removing a circle from the centre and distressing inside and outside edges. Then I hand stitched around the circle. I took a grey Bazzill card and reduced that to 111/2 and removed the centre circle but not quite as big. I distressed the inside and then matted them together.

I put those two on to a sheet of Oceanic and distressed the edges. This paper affords me a almost sunset view through the cut away circle. I took my 2 photos matting one just on grey and the main one on two layers of spare card at a jaunty angle allowing them to come over the edges of the circle.

I looked through my stash to find beachy, sailing type embelishments which I can tell you was hard! I decided to grab a few bits out of the Beached ephemera pack along with Serenity chipboard pieces and stash item's.

The journaling is both around the edge of the circle and on this journal card. I tucked a camera diecut and sailboat under it and a good old deck chair on top. I decided the title was to be the perfect phrase on the chipboard.

The lake they use to sail on is highly visited by seagulls so this laser cut was perfect and I liked the tickets too which were a perfect place to pop the acrylic date.

Just a closer look around the page, this one shows another seagull and stitching 

Here you can see the clusters I have made around the page.

Thanks for stopping by again today. The papers I have used have a beachy theme but Janine sells lot of different papers and you will be bound to find some that will fit the theme of your photos. Call by today or go online to The Mad Scrapper .
