October Days

 Hello,

Today I'm sharing a layout I've made for The Mad Scrapper Blog . I have made deep dive in to my stash of beautiful 49 and market papers and flowers for this page of my sisters family on a recent visit to the National Trust Gibside Park.

 

I've used vintage artistry - Virtue paper and added natural collage stack under the photo which is mounted on to 2 4x6 file frames. Can you just make out that I have cut into the paper partially around the main leaves and lifted them with foam pads. I also cut the paper down to 11.5 and inked the edges before adding it to a sheet of black cardstock.

This next image shows how I tucked the photo under the lifted leaf. I took the Dusty Attic 12x12 heart and snipped 2 sections to place top left and bottom right corners but not before I inked them with the same distress ink as I used on the paper edges. I also added a tiny blue crochet doily and a metal button from my stash along with flowers and leaves from 49 and a button saying Simple Life.

This images shows the bottom corner and its cluster of flowers, button and a acetate leaf. 

I started to add a few rub-ons around the layout from Art Options Spice collection.

My sister is a Autumn girl so I couldn't resist adding this Rub-on as it seemed made for her.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I've inspired you to dig around in those papers you have tucked away, if not then pop around to see all the beauties Janine has in the shop if not go to The Mad Scrapper  grab a cuppa and take your time.

Margarita Time

 Hello,

Today I am sharing this layout of myself and cousin enjoying a Margarita on her front porch after a hard day of memory making.  I made it to also share over at The Mad Scrapper Blog where you can pick up your supply's for almost any style of layout. This paper is from 49 and Market a list is below. 

This is a window sticker which I have had since our first family holiday to Florida in 2008, we went to Universal Studios not Disney as my son was in to (still is) Jaw's and Terminator movies and when you arrive you go along the walkways which have many cafe's and bars and we stopped off at this one called Margaritaville and I picked up this sticker. I couldn't bring myself to stick it to a window so it has sat waiting for the right time to be used! I attached it to a piece of acetate and then a scrap of zesty green which allowed me to stick it down to the paper, I did trim around the image.

This next photo shows us sipping our drinks from mason glasses, we were watching the children playing out front. The flowers are from the Pinkfresh Studio stamp, stencil and die set this time I coloured with coral through to orange on cream cardstock. The title is another stash buster gifted from a friend.

I trimmed the main paper down to 11inch and added it to a Simple Stories paper which I thought went well. The photo is on 3 mats the first a scrap of 49andmarket and then 2 from Bazzill on a jaunty angle and lifted on foam pads. The snippets on top and bottom of the photo are also 49andmarket but older collections.

I think it all works well together on this fun layout.

Here on this last photo you can see I have added purple gems all around the layout also I have added white splashes to bring out the ones within the paper.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you to pull out papers maybe thought of for another season and use them at different times. Pop in to see Janine in the store if not do as I do and go to The Mad Scrapper  and pick up something different.

Wildflower

 Hello,

Today I am up on  The Mad Scrapper Blog with this fun layout of myself on my recent holiday checking out this wonderful clothing store in downtown Sumner. My goodness I could have bought this Stetson along with numerous other items of clothing and boots!

I have used papers from 49 and Market along with touches of Simple Stories, ephemera is a mix of Dusty Attic, Green Tara and my collection of memorabilia a full list can be found below.

Here you can see I have used 2 papers tearing and the brown at an angle showing the white core which I ink before adding it on top of the lighter card. As you can see I have stitched a full row and two shorter ones to the edge. Over on the left I added a half inch strip from Wildflower collection because in the brown paper there are touches of blue. I inked and distressed all the edges.

I have had this Teresa Collin's Journal Tag since 2008 and thought it fitted in nicely after I inked it and matted it on to the same blue as the left edge.

The used vintage artistry essential frames under the photo and placed it on a foam sheet for dimension, you could also use cardboard packaging like Janine shared a short while ago. I had some vintage rubons left over so I tucked them around the photo top.

Bottom left cluster is a mix of a dress form, flowers, stickers and stash busting stuff

In this photo of the right bottom cluster you can see I have added a leather tag, flowers, a sticker, brass pen nib and Dusty Attic feather pins. The sentiment is cut from a journal card from Simple Stories. I have also added pearls and gems around the page.

I just love how this layout came out, as you can see in the photo we were having such a great time.

I hope I have inspired you today to maybe print a photo in sepia just to switch things up. 

Pop in to see Janine and check out all her papers to see something that will match with your photograph she's bound to have the perfect one. If not go to The Mad Scrapper  Thanks again for stopping by.
