Scrapbooking a single step by step layout by Susan Luke

 Here is a lovely step by step  layout designed by Susan luke for you all to enjoy. Please feel free to have a go and we would love to see your work in our gallery!

 

Materials:

 

Bella Grace 

Chelley Bean Designs White Roses

cardstock

Crate Paper Lillian Collection Delight

Sheer black ribbon

American Crafts Patchwork Fabric Thickers

FTI Adhesive Rhinestone Accents

Craft Knife

Double Sided Tape

 

First choose three Black &White photos and decide which one is to be the feature. Mat that one on silver cardstock

 

Adhere the yellow Crate Paper mat to the middle of your 12" x 12" layout. Remove the die cut petals first.

 

 

Cut the ribbon into two lengths and adhere it crossed and across the layout to suggest movement.

 

 

Adhere your back two photos down first and lay the matted photo on top. Stick it down. Don't worry if the photos seem a little too large, unless trimming them will take away important parts of the picture you want preserved. Two of my photos overlapped the page.

 

 

 

Work out where your flowers look nicest and use your craft knife to make a slit for the brads in the flowers. Attach the flowers.

 

 

Add the rhinestone accents where they enhance the photos best. I tried to follow a more or less circular pattern with mine and it was nice that some of the swirls echoed the swirls in her hair.

 

 

Now turn the layout over and finish trimming the overhanging photos corners and ribbon as desired.

 

 

Add the title

 

 

You're done! I have a magnetic display board that I use to show my most recent layouts for awhile. I think the black and white looks very nice in it - see what you think:

 Thank you for stopping by and hope you have enjoyed your read

have a wonderful day

take care

30 minute Double Layout Kit

This is a great girl kit and only takes around 30 minutes to do which is great for those with limited time to spare.

Included in the kit is:

• Fancy Pants Patterned bracket paper
• cardstock
• large foam alphas
• mini alphas
• sequin trim
• buttons
• Chelley Bean Designs birdie

All this for $10.50.... purchase one today at Scrap N Craft with T. 

 all you need to do is add:

• Photos -  I have used one 5 x 7 inch photo as the main focus photo and six 2¾ x 3¾ inch photos (these are just two photos fit into a 6 x 4 inch size, which can be done at most photo labs). 
• journalling printed out and cut into strips (alternatively you can write your journalling directly onto the background cardstock, this is totally up to you).

Step 1.
Take the two sheets of cream cardstock and use these as your base.  Cut the red cardstock into two 3 x 12 inch strips and attach to form a horizontal line across both pages approx. 2.5 inches from the bottom edge.

Step 2.
Take the heart/dot bracket patterned paper and cut just after the double line of hearts (about the ⅔ mark).  Line up the paper edges and attach this to the base cardstock .

 

Step 3.
Take your 5 x 7 inch photo and attach your sequin trim around the border (I have just used 3mm double-sided tape to do this).

 

Step 4.

Using the foam alphas and the mini alphas attach your title to the right hand page along the red cardstock. In this case I have used 'our cheeky girl' for my title but you can choose whatever suits your layout and photos.

Step 5.
Time to add your photos! I have placed the 5 x 7 inch photo above the title and the six smaller photos at slight angles over the bracket patterned paper.  Then attach your cute little Chelleybean designs bird overlapping the bottom corner of the main photo, so that it looks like it is standing on the title.

Step 6.
Attach your strips of journalling (or write out your journalling) to the cream cardstock on the top left hand side of the layout.  I have also added a strip under the photos of when the photos were taken.
Something extra: I've printed the journalling out on normal printer paper but you can also print it out on matching coloured paper or cardstock or you can swipe some ink around the edges of the plain paper strips.

Step 7.
Lastly add some buttons to the layout.  I attached three buttons to the left-hand side red cardstock and two along the bracket on the right-hand side page near the main photo.

 

All done!!  

Hope you enjoyed - take care...xxxooo

I (Tanyah Payne) have been scrapping!.... yay!!!

It is hard for me to beleive that I have been scrapping up a storm and keeping to my commitment of having some me time at least once a week.

So here are some layouts of late that i have created and been having a blast!

****************************************

 ABOUT A BOY.... WE LOVE....

How Grown up is my boy!....
I have used the Fancy Pants ( my favourite brand) papers.
Also i thought it would be cool to use my crafters workshop templates and cut one side and then flip the paper over and place on the other side.... fun hey! then added some doddling around the bracket.
I am enjoying using the Chellebean Designs too amongst my clusters of embelishments of mayroad clocks, bollywood trims, raffia, mesh, arrows and painted doodled chipboard swirl.
ORANGE seems to be my thing at the moment... you wouldn't think so but wow i am enjoy using it heaps!
I find when wanting to put more than one photo on a page reducing the size of the pics helps this out heaps.....

****************************************

CHERISH YOUR LOVED ONES....this i do!

I love using Kraft cardstock and enjoy the possiblities it gives... In this layout i have used the crafters workshop Templates several times... The one template i have used for the red cardstock, the pink circle, and the painted dots.... cool hey! these templates are so versitle i love it! 

With using Templates i had what i thought a fantastic idea and cut out of my cricut tones of circles and the template left behind i used as a circle template to paint over the red  cardstock.

After Tearing / distressing the edges and placing it on my page i then doodled all around the edge of the bracket shape.

The swirl words was a paper i was given from Robyn Payne at the last scrap chat retreat she was at. Brillant paper and adore its possiblities. I have used the swirl look to flow with the bottom teared edge and hand made flowers. Along with a cluster of bits and peices and some buttons from Tiddlypeep designs.... I also wanted to break up the kraft dominate look so i placed some red tule under the papers.....was tones of fun creating!....

**************************************** 

ALWAYS SWEET-... how long will it last!..

Here I wanted to create a sweet fun loving page of my kiddies.... adding 2 photos, one that is larger and is seen first where the other is an added pic showing their love and kindness.

After placing a green pp down on the right, again fancy pants - frosted range...hehe!... I cut out a cirle and scollop shape and placed under the green paper. Then I painted a chipboard frame and than painted dots over the top...

As I am enjoying paint i painted on the top quite messily and splattered....lol and then layered another ruled line pp of the frosted range of fancy pants to one side for journaling.

After Sanding my photots I placed them on my layout. Now because I LOVE LOTS OF STUFF. and thouse who know me well will know what i mean...lol! I couldn't help myself and add a few chellebean embellishments painted chipbord bits and peices, felt and mesh to make my pretty garden.

Then after titling and journaling I decided my layout needed some sewing so i did some hand sewing on the top right corner to add the finishing touches.

**************************************** 

ALWAYS......

Have you tried using part of your journaling as your TITLE?... now thats a thought?.... This layout was inspired scraping with Nicky Amber with all her paint techniques she loves to do. 

I love scraping with others for you can learn and share so much from each other.

So i have painted white around the edges, doodled around the white part, and sploshed some paint onto my layout.

Again I have used the crafters workshop for the bracket frame and then doodled... Oh I am loving this doodling too... so much fun! ... time conshuming but fun!...hehe.

Then I had a thought, why not use 2 templates at once... So i drew and cut a template and then used a swirl template which i layered over the top, painted and then doodling around the edges... cool hey!...

Of couse it wouldn't be me without the cluster of embelishments which I have used chellebean designs and then dressed it up more with a bollywood trim and another colour of tissue paper, along with sizzix die cuts and my own made flowers, Bella and prima flowers....

After placing the photo and mesh down and the title/phrase i felt it needed a little someting in the corner.. some may not think so but i did...lol! so a white basic rubon it is!....lol!

Here are some closer looks of the page...

**************************************** 

LOVE YOU

This is quite a simple  layout for me and was able to comple in an hour... yeap you read right... that is a record for me ...lol!

Again I have used the one pattern paper and turn over the bottom. Placed mesh under the bottom part and place a bird paper underneith.  

I used the crafters workshop template again for my bracket edge.

Texture is my think and LOVE... so when i saw this mesh i had to have it! So i have scolloped one edge used as a centre of a flower

Chellebean designs were used again where I layered over the fancy pants felt shapes.

Notice i have used a 7 gypsy transparncy for my journaling and have tucked it under the photo to keep it firm and in place.

Raffia seems to be a trend atm and people are loving it including me...lol! love all the different things you can create with it!... worth having a go at for sure!..

**************************************** 

YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING...

You may say ... yep another overdone layout by Tanyah... well your right!...lol! and I am still not totally happy with this one but i think that happens to all of us until one day it clicks and you think it needs something or take something off.

The sewing was all done by hand and took me 3 hours to do... crazy hey! but it was relaxing...lol! then the doodled edge to difine the boarder.

Chellebean designs is used again, These fabric flowers are yumo! and look brillant on layouts, cards and more!

I am still not sure about the paint in the top left corner and I think i will change this when i get a chance...hehe.

**************************************** 

NO MORE!.... PHOTOS

How often do we hear this no matter what age they are!...lol! joys of having a scrapbook mum I say!...lol!

Again I have used the crafters workshop template under the photo, Used a chipboard swirl which i have painted and stamped onto. Then my cluster of embelishments at the bottom of maya road clocks, bella flowers and my obsession with Chellebean design flowers....hehe!

Oh we can for get the mesh at the bottom and the sewing at the top too!...lots of fun!

****************************************

SMILE!...

My nephew draws at my heart strings .... he is adorble. We go these pics for he so much wanted to be like my ben and get his pics done too!... but do you think he would smile for me!....lol!

Lots of pics on this one....7 in total! how cool is that on a single layout. But i have only used small pics to help with this.

Again using my crafters workshop template as a guide for my brad scollop edge and a smaller template for the framing of the main photo.

I love these bobunny gypsy range papers they are so bright and fun! and then mixed the frosted fancy pants range (which were in my scraps) to embellish it more!.

Have you ever thought of using  a paisley shape and converting it to a bird,...thats what i have done... isn't it cool!...lol!

****************************************

OUR FAMILY....2009

This was my Christmas gift was a family pic!...lol! well they did beautifully and I got some awesome pics... ... Man I love my family! thank you!.. xx

Here I have used the Collage press die cut shapes, template, raffia, bella flowers, paper string, chellebeans desings, maya road clocks.... Along with the Crate paper range was very cute ....

Step by Step Thanks Card from Amanda Moran.

“Thanks” Card



Materials used:

• Chelly Bean Designs Romantic Rose
• cardstock
• My Minds Eye Abbey Road Whirlybird “Best Friends”
• thread, ribbon, ric rac or yarn
• Bella foam mount
• buttons
• Punches are pre-order... email at admin@scrapncraftwitht.com.au and will will do our very best to help.
• Hole peircer - yet to be uploaded, please email us, for we are more than happy to help
• Distresser are pre-order... email us and we ill do our best to help.

Using cardstock (I’ve used white) cut 28cm x 14cm and score (fold) at 14cm to fold it in half.

Cut a (large) square piece of pattern paper – My Minds Eye Abbey Road Whirlybird “Best Friends” scattered flowers to 13cm x 13cm.

Using a 35mm square punch (or cut them by hand) punch out 9 (small) squares of coordinating pattern paper – Whirlybird “Shine” .

Rather than ink the edges of the large and small squares I’m going to distress the edges. I use a Making Memories “distresser” and Tanyah has the great Tim Holtz one in the shop. If you don’t have one – you can use your scissors
– but please do so very carefully!!! So distress the edges of your large square and the 9 small squares
.

Adhere the 9 small squares in an even grid on your large square
. If you feel the need you can use a ruler to make sure they are all ‘even’ but I tend to go more ‘freestyle’ and place them by eye!

With a pin pad (old mouse pad) under your large square, pierce the paper through all layers between a number of the small squares .
Using some matching coloured embroidery thread; stitch between the pierced holes .

Put your sentiment on a small rectangle of coordinating cardstock using a stamp, mini alphas or in my case, I’ve used a Kaisercraft rubon. Ink the edges of this small rectangle .
We will be adhering this to the bottom right hand corner of the smaller squares later.

Using some thread, ribbon, ric rac or yarn, cut a piece approximately 12 cm long to curve into the shape of the stem of our flower .
I’ve used twine – I really like the rustic look of this twine amongst the ‘pretty’ colours of these papers. Attach the twine in place using glue or Xyron sticker maker.

I’ve snipped out a small piece of the green pattern paper to make a very small leaf which I’ve outlined in a fine pen. Adhere the sentiment and small leaf using double sided foam mount (Tanyah has some Bella foam mount). This gives a 3D effect and lifts the sentiment up over the twine
.


Using a flower (Chelly Bean Designs Romantic Rose); glue on top of your twine ‘stem’. As you can see, I’ve inked the pink romantic rose slightly .
Add a few buttons as finishing touches to final pretty card


Thank you Manda for your beautiful card. If anyone would like to have a go at this we would love to see your verson of it in our gallery...http://www.scrapncraftwitht.com.au/gallery
