June Week 2 layout for Being Scrappy...

Hi Everyone!

I got to play with the fab new paper range 'Wishes & Dreams' from Prima in this week's Being Scrappy Kit. Great colour combo of yellow, aqua and chocolate... love it! I used a couple of photos of the girls in pedal boats at my hen do in 2010.

I used the yellow Bazzill for the base of my layout. Just don't cut it up my mistake to start with like I did - if you look close you can probably see where I joined it back together!

Cut a 3" x 10" strip of the aqua 'Invincible' paper, ink the edges with brown ink and stick down to the left side of the layout.

Next cut a 7" x 10" piece of the diamond patterned 'Invincible' paper, ink the edges with brown ink and stick down to the right side of the layout.

Cut a 4.75" x 12" piece of the brown Bazzill, punch a border in one of the long edges and stick down. Then mount two 6" x 4" photos to it.

Punch two 1.5" circles from brown Bazzill and one from the 'Invincible' paper, ink the edges and stick down in the positions shown on the main photo.

Cut a 2.5" x 0.5" strip of the brown Bazzill and punch a border, layer this on the top circle with a piece of washi tape (from my own stash).

Cut 3 x flowers from the 'Things to Come' paper and attach to the circles with foam pads.

Add the main title to the right side of the layout, I used a Thickers alpha from my own stash.

Take one of the mini envelopes that come with the Kit and fold it up and stick together, then attach to the layout beneath the main title. I attached some mini alphas from my own stash to finish off the title.

Have a look at Niki's blog to see what she has come up with this week. You can buy the Kit for a limited time and if you like what you see then there is a great value monthly subscription that Niki offers here.

Thanks for looking!

Mini Album No. 2...

Evening Everyone!

As promised last week I am sharing the second mini album that I made while on hols recently. It features my sister-in-law Louise and her Hen Do. I used a mix of older papers that I had in my stash and added some embellishments, washi tape, ribbon and mini alphas.

I will share the final mini album that I made next week, this one features my best friend's 5 year old daughter...

Thanks for looking!

Feb Week 2 layout for Being Scrappy...

Hi Everyone!

In this week's Being Scrappy Kit I had the lovely 'The Sweetest Thing' papers from My Mind's Eye to play with (along with a coordinating die cut and washi tape!). I decided to use some photos from my Hen weekend in 2010 for this layout...

I used the pink Bazzill as my base but did trim it to 10.5" x 12" and then punched along one of the 12" edges. Then cut a 2" x 12" strip of the script side of the 'About Me' paper (making sure that the script is running across as this is then attached to the border punched edge of the pink Bazzill. You will need to make sure that the entire layout measures 12" x 12" once the two pieces are stuck together.

Next cut a 2" x 12" strip of the 'The Best' paper and attach this down the left side so that the pink border is showing.

Cut a 9" x 10" piece of the beige Bazzill and stick this down to the layout.

I used the washi tape to make a frame round the edge of the beige Bazzill.

Stick down your photos (mine were both cropped to 5.5" x 4").

Attach the coordinating diecut and add your journalling.

Finish off with a title, mine was a mix of tiny alphas from my stash and a Thickers alpha from a previous Kit. I also used some of the little flowers pieces from the Thickers to embellish the layout.

This Kit is available for a limited time here... do pop on over to Niki's blog to see what she has done with the Kit this week!
