Favourite Memory - 49 and Market Nature Study

Hello and welcome to the blog today where I am sharing a layout of photos of my cheeky little grand son at an outdoor footy match. Lots of trees were around the surrounding oval so of course after the game they needed to be climbed.

I have started with two different sheets from the 12x12 Collection pack and the Golden 12x12 sheet from the Color Foundations pack, layering them with 1/4 inch around the edges.

I made the Cluster Kit as per the pictures on the front of the kit which I used on a different layout then used the many left overs to create by own cluster adding General and Wings laser cuts to it.

I have framed the photos with the blue frames out of the Ephemera pieces, layered with Filmstrip frames and more larger ephemera bits.

I have then created my own little framed picture using the ephemera frame and Washi tape stickers together with rub ons added to another cluster I have created.

Added behind the framed photographs are Acetate filmstrips and more ephemera pieces along with little file tabs which I have added rub ons to.

Memories - Vintage Artistry Nature Study

Hello Everyone

Today I have scrapbooked some photos of my Daughter in Law and Grandbabies photo shoot taken at the Yanchep National Park with her Sister and ever so cute Nephew. These are perfect for Vintage Artistry Nature Study range.

I have started with the 12x12 collection pack and cut the middle out of the background paper to use as a photo mat, then cutting the other sheet down to 11x11 to make a border around the edge. I like doing this as it kind of gives the layout a framed look. I have also machine stitched around the edge of the layout to add texture and interest.

As you can see I have matted the photos 3 times with a layer of foam tape between the second and third sheets with an added acetate filmstrip frame around the photographs themselves. Behind the mats in the background I have layered different filmstrip frames then added washi tape postage stamp pieces.

I have used one of the Specimen Acetate shapes and adhered it to a white piece of card to make it brighter then cut it out. I have then used the laser cuts with layers and layers of mushrooms and leaves.

The tree branch and nest are some of the beautiful laser cuts combined with a little bow and a hanging sign, finishing the page off with a Chipboard word "Memories".

This cute little cluster is made from a filmstrip piece, foliage and butterfly laser cuts topped with a stamp washi tape piece to match the top left of the layout.
