Merry Selfie

Scrapbook Layout created for Maya Road  - MERRY SELFIE  -

Hello Roadies!
 Nathalie here with a bit of Christmas inspiration using the beautiful Maya Road products.  I am sure by now you all are almost ready to get together with your families, and record all those sweet moments, but always remember to include yourself in the picture!   Today, I want to show you how i documented my latest selfie.
  

To create this layout, a simple triangle was drawn on white cardstock -to recreate the Christmas tree-;  then a few shades of green watercolor were added to give it some color and dimension.   While the background dried, all the snowflakes from the Snowflake Mini Chipboard set were gold foiled.
 

Once the background was dried, all the snowflakes were then glued inside the watercolor tree.  A  White Pretty Resin bow was added to the top of the tree to add texture, and mark the tree topper snowflake.



This layout was created, and embellished using Simple Stories's "Very Merry" collection.    The colors in the collection match perfectly that of the ones in the picture.   



There are small clusters of ephemera and embellishments cluster around the layout.   On the top corner of the picture, a Wood Snapshot token,  a small heart from the Ken Oliver Lock My Heart Charm set, and a few pieces from the paper collection create a little cluster that bring attention to the picture.


The title for this page was created using one of the Very Merry chipboard stickers, and the Just My Type Clear Stamp set.   A few more embellishments and a few drops of gold ink complete the page.
 

I hope this inspire you to mix some of the beautiful Maya Road products with some of your favorite paper collections to document a picture of you!  Just look at how easily you can bring your picture to life.  Stop by the Maya Road store to check all the products used in this project.


Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions on how this came together.

Have a Blessed Christmas, and may 2018 be filled with love and peace!

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - MERRY CHEER -

Hi there!


 It is starting to look a lot like Christmas, and i am loving it. Especially when I get to document some of the happy moments of my loved ones.  This time, I have created this layout for Scrapbook Nerd using the beautiful FALALA collection from Crate Paper.

To create the background for this page, I used a Paige Evans' design; but chose to draw it on the cardstock, so that it can then be cross stitched.    The texture of the page, and the design are just perfect for the picture of the littles.

The beautiful cut file needed to shine in the page, so I chose to create a few clusters in the page being careful not to  cover much of the stitching.

To add movement to the page, I decided to trim the stitching, so that the stars will form a beautiful border that will contrast the background paper.   The title was then created using stickers from the collection, and MME's Oh Joy collection,too.   Here is the final layout:

I love this page.  It does combine some of my favorite things and techniques along with a picture of my littles.   It took a bit of time to create the background, but it was all worth it at the end.

Remember to check Scrapbook Nerd for all the materials used in this layout.   They are always adding new stuff to their shelves, so stop by the store to see what is new in the store.

I am always  a comment away, if you have questions on how this came together!

Take care!!!

Peace

Hello everyone!

Nathalie here with a new project filled with  Christmas spirit.   I just love this time of the year,  it seems like my home becomes cozier as we approach Christmas.  With that in mind, I created a project all about my baby and his favorite spot during the holidays.



As you can see our baby loves to nap in front or under the Christmas tree!  So what better way to document this picture than to create a background filled with Christmas trees.






The Christmas tree background was created using the Fold a Tree cut file and some white cardstock.   The cut was sized to about 8.5x11 in and most of the free spaces were backed with papers from the Studio Calico's Northern Light kit.




The cut out was then hand stitched to the background paper.  To add more texture and interest to the page, a few stitches were used to secure the folded piece to the mat in some of the background trees.




To frame the picture of our baby, the rectangular frame image from the Infinity Hearts was cut form wood grain white cardstock.   A bit of embroidery thread was looped along some of the edges of the frame to add texture to the page.





The title of this page was created using the Script Font cut file.  The word "Peace" was welded together, and then cut twice from one of the papers from the Studio Calico's Northern Lights kit.  A bit of foam adhesive pops the title from the page.



I love the end result of this page.  The non-traditional colors combined with all the cut files and hand stitching complement the picture of our baby peacefully sleeping under the Christmas Tree.

Remember to stop by Just Nick Studio Store to check all the cut files used in this project, and all the new designs being added to the store.  If you have questions on how this came together, do not hesitate to contact me.

Have a blessed Christmas!
