Week #43 - Friends and Giggles

Good morning everyone, Nancy here today to share with you a layout I made of my daughter and a few of her friends.

Supplies Used:

• Hydrangea Hippo Love is Grand Kit
• Smooch Spritz Emerald Sprinkle
• White Core'dinations Cardstock
• American Crafts Thickers
• Studio Calico Wood Icons
• Webster's Pages Journal Card
• Martha Stewart Glitter

Step 1:  To make the most of my paper, I cut a border out of my paper at 1/2 inch all the way around and mounted it to my white cardstock.  This leaves me with a sheet of paper 11x11 to use on a later project.

Step 2:  I cut the stiped paper at 3"x 11 and mounted that inside the border and added a piece of ribbon just underneath.

Step 3:  I mounted my photo first on a piece of red cardstock and then on the banner paper for more interest.

Step 4:  I glued my mounted photo underneath the ribbon on my layout.  And added the journaling card right under the first photo.

Step 5:  To add the title, I first placed my alphabet onto a clear ruler, this allows me to place the letters in a straight line as well as move them around to see where they best fit.

If you like, you could stop here with a title, journaling and photos, this layout would be complete.  Or you can take it to the next level by adding embellishments.  

Step 6:  To embellish the wood icons, I first misted them with the Smooch Spritz, and then applied a layer of dry adhesive to the top (I used my Xyron adhesive, but any glue will work).

Step 7:  Sprinkle glitter over the adhesive.  I used my finger and a piece of sticker paper to ensure the glitter was secured.  

You can then place the shapes throughout your project.  I also added a few cardstock hexagons for added interest.

Step 8:  Create tab shape from cardstock and adhere to top corner of layout.  I  added an additional glitter shape on top. 

You can add additional ribbons and trims, stickers, etc as desired.  

Thanks for stopping by.

The Daily Scrapbook Page - Layout 5

Yay! Day 5 of the Daily Scrapbook Page is here!

One of the things I love about scrapbook paper these days is that companies are releasing color coordinated collections with a WIDE variety of patterns - they match but don't look contrived. And I love that! This "Family Is" collection by Bo Bunny does just that. We've put it in a collection kit with buttons and all kinds of yummy embellies to compliment the papers and any layouts or projects you want to create. 

We will showcase 5 pages (two double page layouts and this single page) over the next couple weeks, all made with this kit and very few additions, such as a piece of cardstock or alpha stickers here or there. Pick yours up in our etsy shop today!

Here's how I made this layout (paper and letter stickers added later):

Supplies:

• Paper, Stickers, Layered Stickers by Bo Bunny Press, included in the "Family Is" Kit
• Buttons, Ribbon, Tickets by hydrangea hippo, included in the "Family Is" Kit
• Diecut by Sizzix
• Red Cardstock by Bazzill
• Pen by Uni-Ball Signo
• Letter Stickers by American Crafts and KaiserCraft (Tiny)
• Adhesive by American Crafts (3D foam), glue gun

Please join us for another layout tomorrow!! Hope this inspires you to think of your scraps in a different way. No 12 x12 paper was harmed during the making of this layout....
