Love Forever

Scrapbook Layout created for JustNick Studio  - LOVE FOREVER -

Hi there and Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Nathalie with you in time to celebrate a whole day dedicated to love and friendship.   Today, i wanted to share with you a new layout created with a few Just Nick Studio cut files, and so perfect to celebrate the love of my life.

I used the Lower Case Alpha cut file to create the title of the page.   The letters were cut from papers from JIllibean's Garden Harvest collection, and then stitched together to an offset of the letters -created out of white cardstock in the Silhouette software-.

To complete the title work, the word "forever" was also cut from one of the Garden Harvest collection using the  Love You Eternal cut file.  This was cut three times so that glued together they can create some dimension on the page.

Before the title was laid down on the page, a bit of color was added to the background using VIcki Boutin art crayons and an Echo Park stencil. This makes the title pop from the background.

To complement the page, i fussy cut lots of florals and leaves from papers in the collection, so I chose to cut a few branches using the Stems 5 cut file out of white cardstock, and used them to create the clusters around the page.

 

i love how this page came together, even when it took a bit of extra time, i call it a labour of love. 

Remember to stop by the JustNick Studio shop to check all the cut files used in this project.  If you have any questions please contact me, i would love to help you.

Enoy your Valentine's Day!

XO

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - I LIKE YOU -

Hi there!

Today, I am up on the Scrapbook Nerd blog with this new layout that celebrates simplicity and efficacy.   Sometimes when you are short in time, or under stress, a bit of creative therapy can make it all better, but if you get to use up some of your beloved scrapbook stash on the way, then it is heavenly!

The idea of the center paper strips is to ground the page.  Having a color background, or a simple design will help to speed up the page construction.

I created an imaginary diagonal line and used it to add lots of stickers and embellishments from Crate Paper's La La Love, and Main Squeeze collections an Pebbles'  Loves Me and Forever My Always collections.

A large title balances the page nicely, and breaks all the color that is on the opposite side of the page. Here  is a small video on how this page came together:

This page took less than half an hour to put together, actually the total footage for the page was 27 minutes, and love how it all came together so easily:

This Makes My Heart Happy

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - THIS MAKES MY HEART HAPPY -

Hi there!
Everywhere i look it is starting to look more and more like Valentine's Day.  All those pinks, reds and cute designs in the paper lines  arriving at Scrapbook Nerd was just an opportunity to document some loving moments between my baby and I.

For this page, i used a cut file from the Silhouette store to cut a series of "XOXO" from white cardstock, and backed them with papers from Crate Paper's LA LA LOVE collection.  I wanted the cut outs to stand out, so i chose to use patterned paper from Heidi Swapp's Emerson collection for the background of this page.

A bit of foam adhesive helps to bring some  dimension to the cut outs.  These were placed so that they create spaces for the pictures to rest upon.  I chose to add embellishments from Pebbles and Crate paper's Valentine's Day collection, and also a few from the Main Squeeze collection in a color blocking manner.

Since the background is colorful and bold, i chose to add just a sticker from the La La Love collection at the bottom of the cut outs as my title.  To ground the page, i added a few strips of black and white paper (Along The Way collection) to the sides of the layout.

I love how this turned out.   The colors and fun background are the perfect canvas for the cute pictures of my baby and I.   Remember to check Scrapbook Nerd for all the materials used in this page, and a lot of new goodies arriving at the store.  IF you have questions on how this came together, please contact me through social media!
