WEEK 3 - FOR THE LOVE OF HEXAGONS

What's not to love about hexagons....I admit, I'm rather addicted to them and any excuse to use them I will !!!

So for this month's layout I grabbed my chance !!!
Keeping the background in plain Bazzill, I used the Sizzix Hexagon thinlits and the KaiserCraft 75 Cents Collection 'Penny'. This is where double sided card stock comes into its own....
I cut the background ones in all the same size. Note to self. when sticking down the hexagons, it's always a good idea to wear glasses !!!

 I then cut the next size down and mounted these over the top of some of them with foam pads.

 I added a bit of 'flickage' using the Heidi Swapp Color Shine in White, embellished my photo and adhered that to the page.

Then just added a few tiny gold sequins.
Thanks for looking

The Daily Scrapbook Page - Layout #13

Do you have lots of stamps that you never seem to use. Yeah, me too! This layout is all about trying to use stamps in different ways to make a unique background. I also do some resist techniques with Heidi Swapp's papers by Pink Paislee...

See how I layered the stamped images to make a cool background with depth? Just choose stamps on a theme (cameras in this) and that you love (flourishes and heart here) and the design will flow together. Using a virtually monochromatic scheme of turquoise + white + kraft also helps tie it all together.

Here's how I made this layout:

Supplies:

• Elements from the "Vintage Mint" monthly Kit at Hydrangea Hippo
• ColorBox Frost White Pigment Inkpad - Clearsnap
• ColorBox Archival Dye Inkpad - Clearsnap
• Washi Tape
• ColorBox Stylus & Tips Set - Clearsnap
• Smooch Spritz in Vanilla Shimmer - Clearsnap
• Pink Paislee Fabric Borders
• Stickers - Webster's Pages
• Heart Stamp - Unity Stamp Co
• Flourish Stamp - La Blanche
• Camera Stamp - Hero Arts
• Aperature Stamp - Bo Bunny Press
• Kraft Cardstock, Pleated Cardstock - Bazzill

Layout 7: February 25, 2011

We're back to using scraps this week. I had some leftovers from the layout I made last week and instead of putting them away (where they will collect dust for 5 years) I made another page with them! I know of several people, and I did this myself at one time, who never save scraps. They make something out of everything on the table until it is gone. That's the way to do it! This layout is made in that spirit.

 

Supplies:

Cutouts Sheet - Cosmo Cricket

Number Stickers for title - American Crafts

Tiny Alpha Stickers - Cosmo Cricket

Cardstock - Bazzill

Brad - American Crafts

Tag - K & Co

Stickers - 7 Gypsies

Chipboard Stickers - Sassafras Lass

Border - Bazzill

 

Cut out the tags from the Cutout Sheet using their design as your guide. Why re-invent the wheel, right? For the one tag that had a scalloped edge, I trimmed around it with scalloped edge scissors. It does not matter that the scallops don't match -- they're close enough!

Adhere photos along one side of the Black Cardstock in a column about 1" from the edge. Add one focal photo to the right of that, slightly overlapping two of the photos in the column.

Arrange the tags along the right edge of the photo column. 

 

Add letters for a title and journaling on the tags. A Pearl Brad in one of the tags is a nice subtle accent.

Add the border to the left side of the photos with a couple Chipboard Stickers. Add label stickers around the page as desired.

That's all for this week -- an easy page, using scraps, in about 15 minutes.
