Pursue Magic

Scrapbook Layout created for Maya Road - PURSUE MAGIC -

Hi there Roadies!!!

Nathalie with you today bringing you a bit of fall inspiration using the beautiful MAYA ROAD products!  I am sure that when you think Fall, there is a lot of different images that come to your mind, mostly leaves, pumpkin and fall colors.   So i used a more modern version of those concepts to create this page all about my mom.

I have had this picture of my mom in my scrapbook folder for a while, and finally decided to create a soft background where the colors of the picture will pop, for this i am using Pinkfresh Studio's Escape the Ordinary collection to create the leaf branch.

I used the Tropical Flowers Die to cut papers from the collection and then arranged them on the olive color cardstock as to form the branch that my mom is hiding behind (we were apple picking at the time!).   All the die cuts were attached with a combination of glue and foam adhesive to create dimension in the page.

Next, the picture was glued to the page, but i added a piece of Ken Oliver Vintage Trim -Rick Rack Edge- under the picture, just to soften the line of the picture once it was glued to the page.  The cluster of ephemera at the corner of the picture houses also the title of  the page, and a Mini Arrow Charm.  Just love all the texture in this cluster.

Next I added a cluster of  beautiful Maya Road products at the other corner of the picture.  This small cluster consists of a Wood Thoughtful Sentiment token, a banner from the Love Chipboard Banner set -it was colored using Gold colorshine-, and a small heart from the Mini Chipboard Heart Confetti set that was colored with deep coral color shine.  Once again I wanted to add textures and colors from the picture.  After that a few lines of journal and some color droplets complete the page.

I love how easy it was to create the leaf branch with the die cuts.   The non traditional colors of the layout are the perfect way to have the picture and title pop from the page.   I really hope this inspires you to create a new take on Fall, and use the beautiful Maya Road goodies to add texture and softness to the page.
That is all for me today!  remember to visit the Maya Road store to check all the products in this page. 
XOXO

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - #EXPLORE -

Hello everyone!


As we are gearing towards the end of the year, I find that i have not made a dent  at documenting  my vacation memories.   So i will try to spend some of my winter break working on creating pages about our travels, and this is the first layout  of many to come.  For this project i am using the Escape the Ordinary collection from Pinkfresh Studio that i picked from Scrapbook Nerd (and for whom this page is being created)

I created this layout using the large triangular forms as my inspiration for the page. I used an exacto knife to cut them out so that i could form a mountain range as the background for a picture of my daughter and cousin posing at the top of a mountain.

A bit of Distress Oxide Inks help recreate the background of the page, so that it gives the idea of a mountain scene.   I chose to pop the triangles by using some adhesive to attach them to the background.

All the embellishment pieces from the Escape the Ordinary collection work seamlessly to bring to life the feeling in this page,   I took advantage of all the angles  to add clusters, and the title of the page.   Here is final layout:

I love this page!  the colors in the collection, along with the angles in the design are beautiful.   If  you would like to see the entire collection, stop by Scrapbook Nerd to pick this, and the many other beautiful goodies available at the store.


Remember to contact me if you have questions on how this came together.

See you all soon!

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - ADVENTURE -

Hello everyone!


Today I am sharing with you a new layout created for Scrapbook Nerd using the super cool and beautiful Escape the Ordinary collection from Pinkfresh Studio.

Upon receiving the collection, i was drawn to the Observed paper.  All the triangles gave the idea for this layout, so I used the Geo Globe cut file from the Cut Shoppe to obtain the cut out used in this layout, and backed the spaces with a simple palette of colors and vellum.

I cut a piece of the cut out as i attached it to the layout, and then placed a picture of my kids on our vacation next to it.  I used the same picture as a layer for the picture, and added a few pieces of ephemera around the page.

To continue the triangle look of the page, i folded a small corner of the layout, and used a piece of same paper from the  6x6 paper pad to line it behind the fold. a few more details complete the page:

This page is simple, and modern, and brings all the eye and attention to the picture.   I love it!!  Remember to stop by the Scrapbook Nerd Friends and Fans Facebook page to see what the rest of the DT has been up to.   All the materials used in this page come from Scrapbook Nerd, so check out the store to see what is available in their shelves.

I am a comment away if you need assistance with the how this page came together.


See you all soon!
