Fall Love

Scrapbook Layout created for Just Nick Studio  -  FALL LOVE  -

Hello everyone!
Happy Fall everyone!  Nathalie with you today with a new layout for Fall week.  Can you tell I love Fall?!  I am so excited to pull out my sweaters, drink all the PSL i  can find, but mostly to go out and enjoy all the colorful nature.   So, i poured some of my love of the season into this new layout that uses a few of the Just Nick Studio cut files and a bit of mixed media.



To start this page, i used the Grateful cut file,  Fall Florals cut file, and the Leaf It to Me cut file, to cut the various leaves you see from white cardstock.






 To cut the solid maple leaves for this page, i used only the outline of the Leaf it To Me cut  file ( I released the path of the image on my Silhouette software, and then just highlighted the outline to be cut). 

 


Once all the leaves were cut out, i pulled my Pinkfresh liquid watercolors to add a very saturated amount to all of them, and set them aside to dry completely; this helped to create the natural curvature in the leaves.

 


While the leaves dried, I used some of the watercolors to create my background, and then trimmed the cardstock and glued it to a paper from Pinkfresh Studio.





Once all the leaves were dried, i used a white and black fine gel liners to detail the vines in the leaves, and then used foam adhesive to attach them to the background.    Just a few embellishments were needed to complete this page after all those colorful leaves.





I love how this turned out!, and all it took was a sheet of white cardstock, some of the beautiful Just Nick Studio and some watercolors. 
Remember to stop by the JustNick Studio store to check all the cut files used in this page and the new designs being added each week.  As always you can contact me if you have questions on how this was put together.

Fall Leaves

Scrapbook Layout created for JustNick Studio  -  FALL LEAVES -

Hi there,

Nathalie with you today bringing you a new project totally inspired on this week's theme, LEAVES.   I just love Fall, and fallen leaves are my addiction so this was a  match made in heaven for me.

This page was ideal to document what happens after a leaf fight in the park.   For this i pulled a few cut files to create the background for the picture of my daughter spotting leaves in her hair.


 
 
 



First I used the new Hearts 2 cut file to cut the large heart that serves as base for the layout.   A bit of hand stitching just adds texture and dimension to the page.

The Leaf Cluster 3 was used to create the cluster at the top of the heart.  All the papers from Echo Park's Perfect Autumn are perfect to bring the fall colors to the page.









To frame the picture, I used the Leaf Cluster  2 cut file to cut two of the images.  Just love all the colors in the Echo Park collection in combination with a bit of vellum.  Gotta love it all.

I hope this inspires you to look at all the Fall motive designs available at the Just Nick studio store.   Remember to link your projects to the store  when sharing them on social media.  We love to see what you are creating with the cut files.
I am always a comment away if you have any questions on how this came together.


Take care,

Enjoy!

Scrapbook Layout created for Clique Kits  - ENJOY! -

hello there!

It has been a busy week here in my blog!,  but all good, thanks to GOD!

Today, I am up on the Clique Kits blog with this new layout that uses the beautiful Swan Lake kit.  I love that even though the name sounds girly, the kit is so versatile, it can be used in boy layouts.   This time, I used the papers and ephemera to create a layout about my small nephew.  Here is small video on how the layout came together - i hadn't realized the camera had stopped taping while i was creating the background on the page ... My deepest apologies! -:

I hope you enjoyed the sped up version on how the layout came together.  

Here is a small recap on how the page came together:

I used a wet brush to drop water on the area i was to add paint, following splatters of watercolor were dropped on the wet area.  A wet brush helped guide the paint along the area.  To end, a few drops of metallic watercolor were also added.

The layers in clusters around the picture were created using the papers included in the Swan Lake kit.   Last month's kit -Sapphire- contained these skeleton leaves that serve as the background for the page.  In addition, a few extra chipboard leaves were added from this month's Swan Lake add-ons.   The title of the page comes from one of the foiled Kraft tags included in this month's kit.  

Finally, I added a few extra details by stamping the sentiment, " enjoy Today" along the area of the page,  adding some of the exclusive printables  around the picture clusters, and a bit of journaling at the bottom of the page.  Here is the final layout:

Doesn't this page say fall and happiness!  I am so loving how Clique Kits' Swan Lake  was perfect to create this layout about our little Mattia.  Don't forget to stop by the Clique Store to check this and many of the new products in the store.


Thanks for visiting today!

Welcome Fall

Scrapbook layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  -  WELCOME FALL -

Hello!

Today, is the last reveal day at Scrapbook Nerd, and since the ladies are running a weekend long on-line crop, this layout will also be one of the challenges for the crop.    Since the crop's theme is Fall, I created a project that documents our walks during this glorious season.  Here is a small video on how the layout came together:

I hope you enjoyed the video!.  now i will show you a few close-ups of the page.   I am using Pebbles chipboard leaves to create the banner in the page, along with some Simple Stories and Kaisercraft ephemera pieces.  The title was composed using large word stickers and die cuts.

I balance the page with a strip of paper and a lose leaf with a few journal lines around it>

Here is the final layout:

I hope you join us at Scrapbook Nerd Facebook page or forums on this weekend long on-line crop.

As always let me know if you have any questions about the layout.
