Hello hello!
I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and brought in the
New Year with those you love!
I have a confession to make.
Until two weeks ago I had never completed a 12 x 12” spread.
I know. I have so much paper, and yet hoard those beautiful papers like there’s
no tomorrow…
But after watching hours of traditional process videos, I
decided to take the plunge. This is one of my latest layouts and while
scrapping, I realised four factors in all of my layouts so far…
* I like using white cardstock as a base and matting it on
patterned paper.
* I love layering.
* I actually like a lot of white space (which is COMPLETELY
opposite to my PL)
* I am still an embellishment junkie.
I challenge you to have a look at your albums and reflect on
what are your four go to’s, I would love to hear your comments below!
So here she is, another page for my wedding album using TSK –
Clara as well as a few bits from my stash. I didn’t follow a sketch, just
played with the embellishments until I found something that worked for me. I’m pretty
happy with the result, it’s quite different to my other spreads that I have
just done.
When I started looking through the Maggie Holmes Crate Paper
“Open Book” floral ephemera pack (wow that’s a mouthful!) I noticed how many
green-ish flowers there were…not my real go to. I actually really dislike green
when I scrap, I just never can seem to make it work. So I thought, why not use
them all in one layout?! I must admit, I had one and a half packs to work with,
so there are a few extras in here. I decided to make a rough wreath type shape
around the photo, to keep focus on the picture.
I layered my photo on the Open Book Gold Vellum Newspaper Print, which is divine!! I thought it gave the photo something to rest on, so it wasn't just floating in the midst of a green flower sea. Lol. I thought it's delicate vellum-ness (yes, that is now a word) was enough to anchor it without overpowering.
I added some of the turquoise Freckled Fawn resin flowers,
as well as some enamel dots from my stash. I decided I needed a little cluster
down the bottom corner as the layout looked a little uneven, so I used a few
stickers from my stash and a piece of chipboard from the Open Book collection in
the kit.
I thought I needed a statement title and couldn’t go past
these gold thickers from my stash..
I may be currently obsessed with these…
Super happy with this traditional (yet untraditional for
me!) layout, I would love to hear how you have used the many floral
embellishments in TSK!
Thanks for stopping by lovelies! xxx
