Brrr So Cold...Not!

 Hello,

Today you find me over on The Mad Scrapper Blog sharing this fun layout inspired by Kirei Baldwin on YouTube recently. I had this collection of photographs taken on my last visit with family in America and I thought they worked well with the fun Echo Park paper collection.



It's a very easy layout to achieve using a bright white card as my base and then choosing a couple of papers that work with your photographs. For me it was the hats and scarfs and snow flurry ones, this was because as you can see in the photos and read in the journaling it was warm.
I took my two papers and ripped the edges and added a strip of foam underneath that edge for dimension.


I used two of the journaling tags together to make this little pocket effect which allowed me to add my date as well as some faux stitches to match those on the love this life. I also used a few element stickers which I added to card to allow me to move them around the page till I am to adhere them to the page, here you can see a few under the journal card.


This next photograph shows the fun title which is one of the cardstock stickers with the addition of some glitter stickers. I also added a tree and floral spray above the photographs oh and that first photo is one fun thing we did before each day out a picture in the car before we left the house. The 8 mini photos have been added to a bottle green card and then onto the tan paper.



To finish off I added some glitter dome stickers and glittery snowflakes 


Thank you for stopping by today. Check out this super collection Janine has either in store or as I do go to The Mad Scrapper  .

Daisy Girl

 Hello,

Today I am over on The Mad Scrapper Blog with this beautiful layout using a photograph I took from Pinterest which I thought went very well with the gorgeous Botanical Buzz papers from 49 and Market last year.


I started with the main paper and cutting it down to 11.25 square and distressed the edges before adding it to the buttery yellow paper. The paper has so much on it already such as the hessian frame and lots of beautiful flowers.


Then I gathered bits and pieces I thought I'd use including a honeycomb die cut in 2 yellows plus a few of the bits that fell out. The bees are a old die I have and I thought they would be fun to add.


Then I took my photograph and matted it on to the yellow and a pale pink before adding it to a actual piece of hessian and under that is a foam layer, one piece so as not to mess about with foam pads. You can find this foam in the Kaisercraft  section and I'd advise you to buy some because it's great.


Here you can that I've tucked a honeycomb cut under and added some of the drop out pieces from the other yellow cut


This next photograph shows the bottom cluster of flowers which are made up from different 49 and market collections, Green Tara and Galina along with a pink daisy which she has on her hat. I also removed the brown stamens and replaced them with white which I felt was better for this layout


This photograph shows the top cluster which has the addition of some of the tickets and another daisy but this time a white one.


I'm really pleased with how this layout came out and I hope I have encouraged you to look elsewhere for photographs to go on a layout. I will let you in to a secret that this photo can easily be removed as it is only attached in the centre so my sister can get an up to date photo of her granddaughter this summer and she will have a ready made layout for it to go on to.
Thanks for stopping by again today please drop in to see Janine who will personally guide you around all the fabulous collections she has in, however if like me you live too far away then make a drink and scroll through The Mad Scrapper  pages I feel sure you will find something.

Sue.
