Hello,
Today you find me on The Mad Scrapper Blog with this getting ready for winter layout! For this layout I have started with defiantly not a winter/christmas paper.
I took a sheet of Summer Porch in this gorgeous deep blue, I trimmed it and distressed the edges and attached it to a red with white spots paper which I found in my stash.
I started by adding embossing ink through the Geo Star stencil and added white powder. To be honest it didn't really take too well but I added some white pen to improve things. Then I added my photograph to a red mat and then on to white vellum which I tore the edges of and then I added a foam pad underneath. Once I had decided where it was going I added the rub-on to the bottom left.
Then I added the big geranium bloom which I saved off of a previous Summer Porch paper allowing it to hang off slightly. I also added two envelopes from the Peace and Joy ephemera pack from a few years ago. Then I added my photograph.
Then to make my flower cluster. I used a bus ticket first then a jumper both from Uniquely Creative but a year apart. I added an ivory flower with a leaf and a couple of tomato flowers, I tucked in a couple of gold and a red baubles oh and this little bird too.
On the opposite corner I added another bus ticket and two tags which I distressed the edges and tied some red floss to and added a Father Christmas on top.
I couldn't resist adding this Wonderful Life because I was thinking wouldn't it be wonderful to live in there.
This last photograph shows the flowers again with a glance at one of the butterflies I added with their Christmas wing designs. I also added some tiny snow flakes which I believe are actually shaker bits but they worked.
Thanks for stopping by today. Check out your stash to see if you have a paper you can use for a layout completely different to the theme of the collection. If not I know Janine has plenty. If you can't visit the bricks and mortar shop the sit back and go to The Mad Scrapper
