Memorable Day

 Hello again,

Today I am sharing this wonderful layout made for The Mad Scrapper Blog of my Brother-in-Law at his niece's wedding earlier this year. This is a wonderful photograph because the other gentlemen are his brothers and they do not live close to each other at all in fact one is over in Dublin.

I started by choosing my papers and possible flowers and inks to be used. Because the photograph is taken at a wedding I knew it would be 49 and Markets One Perfect Day collection. A full list can be found below.

I chose a solid paper and to that I added 2 further papers flipping one after tearing to reveal the core and inking to imitate the colours in the flowers. I tucked another paper between the two which was more prominent in the reverse side. This collection of papers screams luxury wedding vibe in my head and I know this occasion certainly was that.

Here you can see that I have matted the photo on to cream and then on to a piece of hessian just leaving a tiny amount showing. I then added foam underneath for dimension to allow me also to tuck underneath. I have taken a journal frame to add that little bit of text and the gentleman you can see is in fact the brides father. You can also see my large cluster of gorgeous flowers available in store.

 

In this next photograph you can just see that I added a lazier cut lace strip from another 49 collection and to that I added some cream lace which I think pops the hessian under the photo. The title is from my stash and fits perfectly with the event.

Here is another close up of the flower cluster, I like to add some muslin under flowers as I think it softens the area first. The little snippets are from another shop collection. 

To finish off the layout I added pearls in soft pinks and creams you can also see I have added a couple of hat pins in there too.

Thanks for stopping by today I hope I have inspired you to do something with maybe a photo from a wedding you attended recently or even years ago. If you need papers and ephemera you know where to go The Mad Scrapper  or if you are lucky enough to live close pop in.

Wedding Card To Order

 Hello,

Today I am sharing another wedding card order. This is to be given to a lady who loves Giraffes.

Today I have used  products mostly Pinkfresh Studio: products and a full list can be found below. I had already attached my paper down to my card front and stamped my floral images and then that evening I watched Kathleen on the YouTube channel using the same images and I decided to try to copy her colours 

I started by stamping and colouring in the giraffe image, I stamped the large sentiment on to white and decided to use the elegant circle set which I cut in the same paper as the background, I stacked it 3 times for dimension over it then I fussy cut out a slightly larger in pink card to act as a shadow putting it down slightly higher than centre which gave me the perfect place for the giraffe to go.

Then after colouring my flowers I die cut them out and started to add them to the card front making sure to give the impression that he was peeking out.

To finish off today I have added flat sequins and another wedding day sentiment to the bottom. Thanks for stopping by today. I will be joining in with the Pinkfresh  August 2025 Challenge

Wedding Card

 Hello,

Today I'd like to share a non-traditional wedding card for a young couple soon to be married. The card is a order from the groom's grandparents.

For this card which is a 8x5 bright white card base I have used a selection of PinkFresh Studio products including dies, stamps, stencils and inks (a full list below) along with a few stash products of my own.    I plan to join in with August 2025 Challenge  at PinkFresh 

I stacked the rainbow frame 3 high and the same for the sentiments but I also added a vellum hand cut layer beneath because I didn't like it just sitting there. I also stamped and embossed in white on to vellum the flower images. To finish off I added some coordinating flat sequins.

Thanks for stopping by,

Sue.

Be Fearless

 Hello,

Today you find me on The Mad Scrapper Blog with this gorgeous layout of my cousins grandson Maverick. The photograph's were taken to celebrate his first birthday and of course it included a smash cake but unfortunately he didn't know what to do with it as you can see by his reaction in the tiny photo's.

As soon as I saw the photographs I knew exactly which collection of papers I would use as well as a few stickers I had in my box. I also fussy cut some balloons from one of the paper sheets which I would raise off the page. I grabbed the PinkFresh Studio Be Fearless stamp set for the title which I stamped in corduroy distress ink 

I started by trimming the paper to 111/2 inches distressing the edges I then mounted it on to blue card which I gutted out the centre so as not to waste it. Then I took the PinkFresh elevated rainbow stencil and added two panels to the paper using a selection of distress inks (listed below along with all other items used) but I forgot to take a photo until after I had added my photos 😲 so here is a little close up.

I matted the main photo on some of the saved blue then some dark gold and a stone colour. I added a little spare card for lift and tucked under some of the fussy cut balloons 

This next photo shows the title which I stacked 3 more layers under for dimension. You can see more balloons which I added above the strip of little photos.

At the bottom right of the photo I added a little play castle and a camera.

The bottom left I added a play tent sticker another camera and a lot of little snippets of cute sentiments. The You are Gold is from the same set as the title 

To finish off the layout I added some pearls in browns and cream. 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you to create something with some of your own photograph's you may have in a box or stuck on your phone somewhere. Don't forget to call in to see Janine or checkout The Mad Scrapper  at your convenience
