Fall

Scrapbook Layout created for Just Nick Studio  - FALL -

Hello there!

Happy Fall Y'all!  and to all our Canadian friends, I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving weekend.

Nathalie here today with a bit more Fall inspiration.  What can I say,  it is my most favorite season of the year, there is so much to love about it!    This time i pour some of my joy for the season into this layout that documents my kids on last year's Thanksgiving walk.

Fall is all about color, and changes in nature, so what best that to recreate some of those fallen leaves using the Leaf Cluster cut file - one of my favorite cut files from the store -. 

For this page, I used two cut outs created from the Leaf Cluster cut file in different sizes.  First, I used some Prima Watercolor (Decadent Pies palette) to add quite a bit of color to the background. 

While it dried, I backed the cut out with papers from Bella Blvd.  Gratitude Documented collection.   Then just attached the cut outs to the page with some strong adhesive.

 


For the title of this page, I used the new "I Like Fall" cut file to cut just the word Fall from the design.   An offset was all I used to create the stitching of the title.  A bit of watercolor completes the look  of the title, and makes it pop from the page.

Love how easily this page came together.    The colors that back the cut outs bring out the details in the background and in the beautiful cut file design.   So stop by the Just Nick store to check the designs used in this page, and all the new designs available.   Remember i am just a comment away if you have questions on how this came together.

See you all around!!!

Project Life Layout Week #8

PL  Week 8

Sunday nights are Project Life night in my house.  I like to go through all the week worth of pictures, and chose the most relevant to our family and our little piece of the world.   I am still new to Project Life, but i enjoy having a way to document our every day.  The layouts are not as nice as my scrapbook ones, but i love the fact that i can have all the pictures displayed in one album with the story of why, who, where and when next to it.

Firsr page of this week's spread.

Still trying to continue with the red accents in all the  February pages,   but since this week there is a lot of my nephew's birthday party snapshots i also used a colorful spread... Here is the first page,  I am using Amy Tangerine's Finders Keepers collection for some of the small cars, while the larger 4x4 cards come from American Crafts, Simple Stories and Heidi Swapp collections.

The second page of this week's PL layout.

A few weeks a lot I came across this American Crafts Birthday collection, and added it to my stash.  It worked perfectly to showcase my nephew's 3rd birthday celebration.  The  added decoration, comes from different collections.  The top sticker on my nephew's picture comes from Freckled Fawn, while the large love sticker comes from Echo Park's Our Family collection... The phrase stickers come from Teresa Collins' Our Daily stories collection, and My Mind's Eye marketplace collections.

The third page of this week's layout

Since there was a lot of pictures taken at my nephew's party.  I used a third page to add them to our album.  I chose to print the pictures in 2x2, 2x3  cells so that i could collage them into the Birthday collection cards. Though this page is picture heavy, I enjoy seeing all the happy faces of the celebration.

I hope this gives you a little inspiration on how to document and display your pictures.

See you next week!

Project Life Layout Week 7

PL  Week 7

Another week has gone by.  Time is really flying this year,  and memories are amounting each day.  So i continue to use Project Life as a means of documenting my family's everyday.  Here is this week's layout.

Still trying to keep with a unified color theme for February.

This week, the cards came from different collections, as i was trying to pop the red in all the pictures.  The top two cards are from Becky Higgins core collections.  The typwriter card and the bottom right card are from Simple Stories Snap collection.  The middle card comes from a Heidi Swapp collection for Project Life.  All the cards worked in this layout since they all had varied shades of red and coral on them.  I added some white cardstock behind the collage of my doggie's pictures.  The simple title and wood veneer are enough to tell the story behind the pictures.

I like to print some of my pictures in black and white.
It helps to balance the layout.

It is the first time i work with this new page layout.  The pocket page protector comes from We R Memory Keepers -I purchased mine from Scrapbook Nerd, they are an amazing Canadian on-line business-, and it allots for 4x4 inch and 3x4 inch cards.  I struggle a bit with the location of my pictures since i was accustomed to the usual 4x6 and 3x4 inch combination pages.  Once again i chose cards with red hue accents to complete the page.  The top card comes from Teresa Collins' Save the Date collection,  the middle left card is from a Heidi Swapp collection,  the middle right card comes from Amy Tangerine's Stitched Collection cut apart pages,  and the bottom card is from an original Becky Higgins Core Kit.

The completed layout... Not one of my favorites.

I am so glad to be keeping up with my PL layouts weekly, though they are a work in progress (not to impressed with this layout) they retell my family's day to day...  See you soon...
