Love Your Selfie

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  -  LOVE YOUR SELFIE  -

Hello there!

I am half way my reveal week for Scrapbook Nerd,   just  a few more projects to go.  

My little nephew is always on the run,  but he usually slows down for food, and to take selfies.   I make sure to always snap a few pictures of him  - they grow so fast-.   Thankfully my dad also took the picture of my phone as i was snapping the selfie, and gave me a copy.   I love this picture, and chose to use it as the centerpiece for this piece.

For the background of this page, I used a Silhouette cut file to create the large title.  Once cut, i stitched it to the page following the colors in the paper.

  


The title takes a large part of  the page, but left enough space for me to add the picture, and create clusters using pieces from the Life Noted collection, and the Mix #1 both from Pinkfresh Studio.

To ground the page. I added small pieces of papers  as to create a paper corner.  I tucked some pieces from the collections in this paper corners - this helped  create a visual triangle on the page.  Here is the final layout:

Isn't it so cool,  that all these paper colletions, just  work together, making it really easy to document  your everyday momenta.   Remember to check the Scrapbook Nerd shelves to pick most of the materials uised in this page.  I am just a comment away if you need assistance,


take care!

Love 16

Scrapbook Tutorial created for Scrapbook Nerd  -  LOVE -16  -

Hello all!

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!  May you share some quality time with your loved ones today.

I was inspired by the rosette paper in the Crate Paper's Heart Day collection embellishment to create a layout that  showcase this fan like pieces as part of a layout.   The tutorial on how i created this rosettes is available at the Scrapbook Nerd blog .

Once all the rosettes were constructed, I created a heart cut out on white card stock, and backed the heart with one of the papers from Paige Evans' Take me Away collection, a bit of hand stitching secures the pages together.   Next i covered one half of the heart with the black and white rosettes, and teal hearts.   Then I layered the pink rosettes on top of the black and white rosettes, I only embellish the rosettes that were more prominent on the heart.

I attached a picture of my husband and I on our 16th wedding anniversary, and layered pieces of ephemera from the collections.  The title was built from the large chipboard sticker, and the number sixteen  on the rosettes.

I kept the rest of the layout simple as i did not want to take the attention from the picture.   A little bit of journaling completes the page.   Here is the completed layout:

There is a lot of dimension in this layout, so it sits on our sofa table.  It fits tightly in a page protector, but I love it.   Give it a try, paper rosettes are great for different crafts, once again you can find the tutorial on how to build them at the Scrapbook Nerd blog.  As always I am a comment away if you need assistance with the tutorial.

Have a great Valentine's Day!

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  -  XOXO  -

Hello there!

It is my reveal week at Scrapbook Nerd, and this month's projects range in color, texture, and mediums, but all have one thing in common, LOVE.   I chose to work with colorful collections, and the first one i wanted to showcase is Simple Stories's "Love and Adore collection"

The background of this page was created by tracing the fussy cut x and o from one of the papers in the collection.  Using a paper piercing tool, i created a stitching guide for the letters,  To complete the look, i used some watercolors to add some color to some of the letters in the  background.

A few paper strips from the collection frame the page on opposite corners to ground the design.   A bit of stitching adds texture, and secures the papers to the layout.

I chose to stack the same picture as a ways to layer, and bring interest to the page.  A few embellishments around the page add interest, and frame the page.  The title comes by gluing some of the fussy cut letters around the page.   A few ink splatters complete the page:

 All the texture and color in the page are the perfect background to the picture.   I hope this serves as inspiration for your layouts. Don't forget to stop by Scrapbook Nerd to check what the ladies are stocking in their shelves.  Remember to leave me a  comment if you have any questions on how this came together.


Take care!
