 Hello,

Today I am sharing a layout for The Mad Scrapper Blog and I'm using a great collection from Simple Stories which you can pick up in store called Boho Christmas Collection Kit 12"X12" . It has some wonderfully whimsical images on the papers and sticker sheet. The photo was taken last year on the Christmas carousel and I thought it would be fun to use circles on the layout today.

I started by cutting down the white card to 11 inches and distressed the edges. Then I took the spotty paper and gutted out the centre for later and matted the white on to it. I wanted to add something to the white so I pulled out 3 distress inks and added random circles and some branches with berries. A full list can be found below.

Then using lots of different Rub-ons around the layout but this I just love. If you still have this one in your stash it would be perfect for this year because it shows Christmas Day falling on Wednesday which it does 

I cut random size circles with different edges from the papers within the collection but I put my photo on to a candyfloss matt and tucked foam underneath for dimension

I took a selection of stickers and added them to either white or pink cardstock to allow me to move them around before deciding where they would finish up. I did also add some directly down.

This next photo shows the Rub-ons which I added along with the largest circle cut from the gutted spotty paper. I decided to stitch around 3 of the circles.

This shows closely some of the added stickers

Here you can see the whole layout and you can see all the extras I have added such as flatback sequins and Nuvo red drops. It's quite a busy layout for me but I love it and I hope you do and that I have inspired you to try something different too

Pumpkin Decorating

 Hello,

Today I am sharing a layout of a recent pumpkin decorating get together at my cousins house. The layout can be found on the The Mad Scrapper Blog . I have used papers from 49 and Market along with flowers and rub-ons and other items from the store, a full list below.

I have used Terracotta paper 1-B side and stencilled through with distress inks, I fussy cut the row of pumpkins from the Spice sheet and added a thin cardboard under for a little dimension. Before attaching it down I added a selection of Rub-ons, I also trimmed the page down distressed the edges and mounted it on to a dark green paper.

Here you can see I have matted the photo on 2 papers and tucked underneath a shocking pink paper which I have given a notebook top. The small cluster is made up of Prima and Green Tara flowers with a Dusty Attic Jack o Lantern which I painted in gold and sprinkled on orange glitter.

A little close up of how the photo sits above the row of pumpkins.

This photo shows the use of 3 journal cards saved from a Prima 31 Halloween collection which Janine stocked (you may still have some if you purchased too) I tucked them under the photo and added more rub-ons around them. I also fussy cut the pink pumpkins and added those. The ticket that the Bunco title is on is another journal card too.

This is the main flower cluster a mix of 49and market blooms as well as another Jack o lantern.

To finish off the layout I was going to paint splatter but I'm not very good at it so I added a mixture of glue drops and tiny black gems. All the pumpkins bar the tiny one in front are man-made and can be dismantled and stored for next year.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you today to use these beautiful rich coloured papers along with the plethora of flowers available from Janine. Call in today or go to  The Mad Scrapper
