August Week 4 layout for Being Scrappy...

Morning Everyone!

So this week I used the 'He Said She Said' papers by Teresa Collins that are in the August Being Scrappy Kit. I had some photos of a lunch date with friends and their cute little boy Harrison. Have a look at the photos at his red cheeks, it had been a nice day but not that warm... later that night he got his first tooth!

I used the 'Arrows' paper as the base for my layout but I did gut a 7" x 8.5" piece from it as I wanted to use the other side for journaling.

Cut a 8.5" x 10" piece of the green Bazzill and stick down to the right side of the layout.

Next take the piece of gutted 'Arrows' paper and cut it to 8" x 3.75" and adhere to the bottom of the green Bazzill.

Add two 6" x 4" portrait photos. I used a couple of the photo corners that come with the Kit in the top right and top left corner of the two photos.

Cut a couple of 8.5" strips of words from the 'Words' paper and stick down to the top and bottom of the green Bazzill.

Add some journaling on strips of pink Bazzill to the bottom right below the photos.

I used a couple of alphas from my own stash for the title, one I have had for years but knew I would get round to using it eventually!

Finish off with a banner cut from the 'Arrows' paper and a row of the photo corners just below the title.

July Week 5 layout for Being Scrappy....

Hi Everyone!

In this week's Being Scrappy Kit I had the pretty romantic style papers 'Hello Friend' by Glitz to play with. We had just been to a Naming Ceremony for our friends Dave and Naomi's little boy Harrison and they were perfect to go with them.

I used the kraft Bazzill as the base for my layout. Cut a 10.25" x 10.25" piece of the pink Bazzill and stick down to the centre of the layout. Next cut a 10" x 10" piece of the 'Bokeh' paper and adhere centrally over the pink Bazzill.

Cut a 1" x 9.25" strip of the striped 'Stripe' paper and stick down towards the bottom of the layout. Stick down two 6" x 4" photos (1 x portrait and 1 x landscape), I did trim mine slightly as they looked better.

Cut a 0.5" x 12" strip of the pink Bazzill and punch a border along the long edge. Then cut a 1.25" x 12" strip of the 'Clouds' paper and stick down just over the bottom of the photos. Add some journaling.

Punch out some hearts from the pink Bazzill and one of the patterned papers and stick down.

Take the pretty Glitz banner that comes with the Kit and attach two lengths to the top left corner of the layout.

Finish off with a title just above the right photo, I used some from my own stash!

July Week 1 layout for Being Scrappy...

Hi Everyone!

This week in my Being Scrappy Kit I had the lovely 'So Noted' papers by Carta Bella to play with... they were perfect to scrap some photos from our friends Dave and Naomi's wedding.

The Always You paper was the perfect base for my layout.  I gutted a 6" x 6" piece from where the photos will go, as I wanted to use the pale aqua spotted paper to the left and right of the photos. I suggest you prepare your photos and yellow Tiny Lace paper first so you can place them and then mark the area that you can cut the piece from.

Cut a 6.75" x 9" piece of the yellow Tiny Lace paper.

Crop your two photos to 4" x 5.75" and mount one of them onto the burgundy Bazzill.

Cut a 2" x 6" piece and a 1" x 6" piece from the gutted square of Always You paper.

Layer the patterned papers and stick down.

Next cut a 1" x 12" strip of the burgundy Bazzill and punch a decorative border in it. Then cut a 1.5" x 12" strip of the Tiny Lace paper and attach this to the layout with the burgundy border punched strip just tucked under it.

Stick down the two photos.

Add the embellishments, I used a couple of stickers from the matching sticker sheet that comes with the Kit. I also punched some butterflies from the burgundy Bazzill and attached them to the top left and bottom right of the layout. Add a small pearl to each of the larger butterflies.

Use the alpha stickers to create your title just below the photos.
