Hello everyone and welcome to my July DT layout!! Today I have a patriotic layout for you in keeping with our theme this month. But, I am from Canada so it's all about the maple leaf and the red and white here. July 1st is Canada Day and it also happens to be my youngest son's birthday. So I knew I had the perfect photo to scrap in keeping with this theme. His first birthday!
Yes, this photo is from 2005 and I have never scrapped in our family album before. I did up a first year book but our family albums from 2003-2007 are pretty sparse. As I was very busy with 2 boys under the age of 5 at the time. So I am thrilled to get this scrapped.
I used my Silhouette to cut out this giant maple leaf and then kept the layout predominantly red and white with some touches of navy and gold. I hope you enjoy. See my process video below.
Supply List:
Cardstock: American Crafts.
Patterned paper: Webster's Pages and Carta Bella.
Alpha stickers: Gold - Studio Calico, Black - unknown.
Embellishments: Layered stickers - Carta Bella, Wood veneer - Shimelle for American Crafts, sequin stars, puffy hearts - American Crafts and Crate Paper; glassine envelope - unknown.
Hello everyone! Here in the states, we are celebrating our Independence this month. I have decided to use some of our military pictures to represent our patriotic pride. Being a military family, we have plenty of pictures to scrap! These are some photos I took at an air show that we attended last year. Please check out the video to see my process and please leave any questions you might have for me!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I'd love for you to come check out my blog as well: www.thescrapangel.blogspot.com Have a great week!
Hi everyone! Here is my layout for the month of June. I live on an island (albeit a very large one) and the part that I LOVE the most about that is having such easy access to the beach and the ocean at anytime I want. I find visiting the ocean to be the most relaxing and stress-relieving thing in the world and whenever life gets to me... that is where I go.
This photo is from earlier in the spring but the message is how we all love the beach and that the weather has now improved so we can go again. Don't get me wrong... we go year round here (and are grateful for that) but being able to go and be warm and not worry about layers is awesome. As is walking in the surf or day-dreaming on a log.
Here is my layout:
I wanted to keep this layout fairly simple although I will confess I had planned to use a heart stencil and modeling paste to add a few hearts or some texture behind my layers. Oh well! I did however want to tone down my background paper so I applied a fairly liberal coat of gesso to it (thus the curly edges, sorry!). I used a scraper to put it on and as it dries pretty quick I layered it on as I went just working from top corner to bottom corner and once I went back up to the top it was dry enough to add a bit more. I think I added it about 3 times to get to this level of opacity.
I also, as you can see in the video, used my very old Heidi Swapp distress tool on the edges of the top and bottom strips. I just didn't want them to be too flat.
Hey everyone! As we go into May, we will be focusing on school layouts for Teacher Appreciation Day or on Mother's Day layouts. I decided to go the school route. Although I don't have any pictures of teachers I haven't already scrapped, I did a page documenting my sorority in college. These products immediately jumped out at me to make this page. I absolutely love the way it turned out! Please watch the video below to see my process.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Please leave any questions you might have! I'd also love to see you over at my blog: The Scrap Angel. Have a great week!
Hello! Sarah here with your first layout for the month of April. For April, we decided to do a green layout inspired by Earth Day, or to use an Easter color pallet on our layouts. I have decided to go GREEN in celebration of Earth Day coming up this month. We are challenging you to use the color green on your layout or to use something recycled or upcycled on your layouts! I chose to use the color green and I gave my layout some earthtone colors. Please check out the video for my process!

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
Hugs
