Happy Birthday "6"

Scrapbook Layout Created for Scrapbook Nerd  - HAPPY BIRTHDAY "6" -

Hello there!


This is my last reveal for the month for Scrapbook Nerd!,

We love our baby, and every September 1st, we celebrate his birthday with cake, and a small party.  This year, I was lucky to find Pink Paislee's Birthday Bash collection to document his 6th birthday.  Enjoy the video:

The cut file used for the project comes from the Silhouette Store.   I used a bit of hand stitching to add texture and secure all pieces in the layout.  All the materials come from the Birthday Bash collection by Pink Paislee, here are some close ups:

I added simple clusters around the picture, so that the created elements will not compete, but complement the layout.  Here is the completed project:

We love our baby, and just like the kids, he also has his own album filled with lovely memories of his life.   

Don't forget to check Scrapbook Nerd to find all the materials used in this layout.   Remember you can always contact me with any question on how this came together.

Scrapbook Layout for Scrapbook Nerd   - WILD 💓 -

Hello everyone!

It is almost the end of  my reveal week at Scrapbook Nerd (one more project for this month).   And this month was all about some of the women in my life, which means one of the littles (my niece and nephew) had to make it to a project.  

This project was inspired by the colors in Pink Paislee's Take Me Away collection, available at Scrapbook Nerd store.   I paired all the colorful papers with, one of my favorite cut files, ever,  Spinwheels from the Cut Shoppe.   I simply added an offset to one of the spinwheels shapes. and cut different sizes of the isolated pinwheel.   Once I backed the shapes, different size adhesive foam, and glue dots were added to the back so that they all are at differerent heights.   I mapped the location of each spinwheel, and stitched the shape of the sticks onto the card stock.

I always built backgrounds before choosing pictures, and this time, I struggled trying to find the right picture for this layout.  But a few weeks ago was my sister's birthday, and my niece showed me her new room, and i asked her what was her favorite part, and she started jumping on the bed.  So this is one of 3 that i loved of her jumping, and then I found all the add ons that were perfect for it in the collection.   Here is final layout:

I love, love all the color in a white background (my favorite).  I am so happy with the end result!, and how the collection worked perfectly for this layout.  IF you want to check all the materials used here, do not hesitate to visit Scrapbook Nerd, and the Cut Shoppe.


As always, leave a note if you have any questions on how this came together.


Take care!

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  -  LOVELY SMILE -

Hello friends!


As my reveal week continues at Scrapbook Nerd. Today, I am showing you a new layout that i worked out with the negative parts (left-over pieces) from a cut-out.  I am a sucker for paper scraps, so I couldn't let this pieces go without reworking them into a layout.

These flowers were leftover from a cut file used for another project.  So using the cut-out, and some removable tape, I glued the pieces to a scrap piece of paper.   I pulled some of my  Prima watercolors, and used them to add color to the flowers trying to match the ones in the Pink Paislee's Take Me Away collection.  

Once the flowers dried, I stitched them onto white card stock.  I think at this point, I changed my design a few times, but the more i saw the stitched design, it reminded me of the edges of pillowcase dresses, so I decided to trim the card stock to match this design.  I simply followed the edge of the flowers.   Since this layout is all about one of my sisters (we are 20 years apart), I decided to put small quotes as the centers of the flowers.

I had been meaning to scrap this picture of my sister, but hadn't created the right background.  It was a happy coincidence, she is wearing that flower headband.  Since the background is detailed, I chose to add just a few details to the picture, and frame it within the stitched background, and papers from the collection.

I went with a non-white background for the page.  I found paper #1 from the Take Me Away collection as the perfect background (my sister is wearing a head band with purple flowers).   For the title, I pulled the foam words from the collection, and combined them with pieces from the chipboard and mirror stickes to create the title of this page.   To finish the page, I added a few splatters of black ink, and some journal lines,  Here is the final layout:

Though we are at the beginning of winter, I love the spring, happy and airy feel of this page, and it  is just like my sister.    It is funny that i had the perfect picture for a background that was created from the left over pieces of another project!.

As always don't forget to check the Scrapbook Nerd store to find all the materials used in this layout!  Remember I am a comment away, if you want to reach me with a question or concern.

Take care!
