Happy Days, Happy Life

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd - HAPPY DAYS  HAPPY LIFE -

Hi there!


It is time for a new process video for Scrapbook Nerd.  This time, i chose to highlight the beautiful My Mind's Eye - Splendor  collection.

For this simple page, i am using a cut file from Handipaper, and used it to create the focal point of this page.   By layering cut files, and then adding some foam adhesive between them,  i created dimension and movement.

Though the star of this page are the floral images from the collection; the diagonal design of the page dictates the placement of the clusters. Here is the final layout:

I created a process video showing you how this page came together, and you can find it in the Scrapbook Nerd You tube channel, as well as mine:

Remember to stop by Scrapbook Nerd to check all the materials used in the page as well as all the new collections arriving daily at the store..

Happy Easter

Scrapbook Layout - Happy Easter -

a close up of the layout

Hi there!,

I am trying to kill all the collections from my stash, as i need to make room for all the goodies that are on my way (trust me I have pre-order enough paper to wallpaper my apartment twice).  One of the collections I want to use up is Pink Paislee's Fancy Free collection (which i love, but couldn't get all the papers and add ons).   Since the colors of the collection remind me of happy times, I chose to use it to document a picture of my son and sister on Easter Day.

A little bit of machine stitching can add lots of texture, and dimension to a layout

I started by cutting  papers of the collection to 2x2in squares.  I lined them up, slightly slanted, on the mat, and proceeded to machine stitched them at about a quarter of an inch inside each square.  After they were all properly attached, I raised the edges of outer edges of the squares ( as seen on the picture).

black and white pictures are my to go choice as they lend to all color combination

I used papers from the collection to mat and layered the picture; all accents come from small clusters of ephemera, stickers and cut-outs.

For the title, I used a combination of Thickers and ephemera pieces.   I added my journal lines at the bottom of the page, and added some extra details.  Here is the final layout:

Though I love this collection, I also love all the new goodies coming my way, so I rather enjoy the pictures, and lovely  papers together.

Till next time. 

Happy Craftin'!
