Scraplift using CKC items.

 This morning I've done a scraplift which is inspired by this layout.

I can't remember where I saw it but thought it a great idea to copy.

I started with 2 papers I put in my kit. One was an A4 size with various flowers and the other is a pastel roses paper from Abi's craft.

As you can see, I have adhered it on the left hand side similar to the original.

After doing that, I began by adding the 3 rectangles from the right, working across. I put a hexagon with flower on the right hand one. The middle was cut from a Bo Bunny sheet in my kit. I matted the photo on green paper, also from my kit. They all slightly overlap.

Now the fun began! I ran ribbon down the join in the 2 papers. I had 2 bags of flowers embellishments in my kit and USED THE LOT ! The paler pink roses are 3D and stand up from the page.The others are flat but I varied the size and colours. I added 3 small hearts and 2 bluebirds.

As a final nod to the original I lightly inked using opera pink and sage versa colours.

Build a layout challenge.

 Build a layout at the scraproom group gave me a chance to use up some Counterfeit kit items.

I started with a Basic Grey paper named bow ties green light. The 3 photos are matted on a green coloured paper to match. I used striped ribbon and twine across the top of the layout. I then added my title with part of it overlapping the ribbon. I also added a journal card and 3 wood veneer bird cages.

Off the rails scrapbooking

 

I've made this layout for Off the Rails where they want shades of green plus outdoors.

We were sitting in a park in Montreal watching squirrels running around and up and down the trees.

I tried something different and cut circles around the pictures then arranged them in a pattern.There is also a normal photo of the park plus my title.

Lasting Memories designers.

 The next challenge at Lasting Memories is designers.

Living in Australia we can't always get complete sets of papers for specific designers, but I do have a favourite brand and range which is Kaisercraft "Chapter One". 

If I ever see it on sale, I buy everything!

This layout features all Chapter one items. I love the soft greens with the blacks.

Monochrome angels.Time out challenges

 I've made another card using silhouette shapes from the pack in a previous post. This one is angels and is monochrome. I have a religious friend who is also musical so she will love this.

I'm entering it at Time out challenges where we are asked to pick 2. Mine is Monochromatic and CAS.

Jingle Belles.

 My next card is for Jingle Belles.

I have chosen to go across the middle:-flowers, red, ribbon.

Lasting Memories Tools.

 At Lasting Memories they want us to use a favourite tool. I have chosen my Xyron, which is used to make things stick on to your layout.

As Westminster Abbey is 900 years old I aged the layout using cold tea painted over the background. I also dipped the smaller flower in walnut ink. I decided to add a vine but adhering it to my layout was a challenge till I remembered the Xyron. I fed it through then wound it around my 2 photos' edge.
