Go Gold - BPK and TSK 12x12 Layout

Hey guys, Nae back again with another beautiful glittering 12x12 layout to feat your eyes on. We are having so much trouble with shipping this month that things just seem to fall further and further behind. We are so sorry to inconvenience you all in only our second month but hopefully after this month we will have things sorted out and there will be no more set backs. If you are a subscriber be sure to check your kits for the free gift we have provided to say how sorry we are for delaying shipping. Now, onto the layout.

I originally made this layout for the sketch challenge in our first Cyber Crop but never got around to actually getting it finished, photos taken and uploaded. So now, here it is for you all to see. Its funny, it reminds me a lot of Charm's layout in a previous post.

The layout, like I said earlier, was for the sketch challenge listed on the previous blog post about the Cyber Crop but I will post it here for you again so you can look at the resemblance. 

This is probably the closest to a sketch I have ever been. I actually surprised myself with how well I stuck to it. When I used to scrapbook 12x12 layouts (about 5 years ago) I tended to just take inspiration from the sketch and just work it into my own layout. Eventually they would look nothing like the original. So this was a huge accomplishment for me. 

I absolutely loved the woodgrain paper that featured in our TSK - The Scrappery Kit - Tilly in our July Edition. I knew as soon as I found it, like Kayla, that I had to use it as a whole background piece. I could seriously have another 20 pages of this and be happy!!

I just absolutely loved the BPK - Bits & Pieces Kit - Gloria, our July Edition and all its gold beauty. I did originally start out with a heap of the papers from Tilly but after a while knew that I wanted to work with just the golds on this stunning piece of background paper. The Lindy's Stamp Gang Spray is just amazing. If you haven't mixed up your own bottle and used it yet I suggest you do. I will be definitely getting more of these and using them as my main mists. Just heavenly to use. 

As always I have made a process video to go along with the layout, so sit back, relax and take a peek into my workspace. Thank you so much for sticking with us guys and I hope I get to see more of your amazing layouts in the weeks to come. 

Until next time guys,
I have some packing and wrapping to do,

TSK - Tilly - Layout and Process Video

Hi guys, it's Kayla with a  layout and process video share for you today.
I absolutely adored the eclectic mix of papers and embellishments in this month's scrappery kit.

I decided to make a layout about my son so that you can see while the kit does feature a lot of pinks, it can still be gender neutral!

When I begin a layout I usually have my photo pre picked and a basic idea of how I want things. I have a style..I think every one does even if they say they don't! So I tend to pick a basic more neutral background (which in this case was the My Minds Eye Wood Paper- this stuff is awesome) I then knew that I would be layering lots of patterns behind my photo - what can I say? I'm a paper addict!

I decided to theme the page around my son being a little heart breaker. I know that I am really biased because he is my son - but I do think he is pretty damn cute. I think we are going to have to ward the girls away. In fact at my mother's a group a couple of the Mum's are already calling Elijah their daughter's future husband. Haha!

I am trying to get better at making funny and interesting titles, because I so easily fall into the trap of just naming the page..."i love you' or 'elijah' or something else that I haven't put much thought into.

I really wanted to type on the Chic tags label stickers but my typewriter didn't arrive in time. I do think it's important however to include some handwriting in your albums. After all, your handwriting is a memory and I think it preserves a bit of who you are and makes it personal. I didn't have too much to say in the form of words for this page as I felt that the picture spoke to words.

One word of warning for using this particular paper is that it isn't as porous (spelling?) as normal patterned paper and so if you plan to use mists or mediums it takes a lot longer to dry, so I do have some smudges but I went with the 'it was on purpose' excuse.

Finally if you want to see my process for how I put this one together, you can see the YouTube video on our Scrappery Channel or play below.

I hope you enjoyed a look at what I have made with The Scrappery Kit which sold out so quickly, we can't wait to share the next one with you!

Happy Scrapping!

JULY THE SCRAPPERY KIT - TILLY

Hey guys, have you been enjoying the lovely little walkthroughs of our first kits? Your kits should definitely be starting to arrive at your doorsteps and we just cant wait to see all the lovely things you have created with your them.

Tonight I thought I would walk you through the last of our three July kits.. The Scrappery Kit. The Scrappery Kit is our main traditional scrapbook kit and this month her name was Tilly.

The kit is a stunning selection of pinks, yellows and teals highlighted with shining golds and bold black and white. Some of the beautiful papers have B sides and these also co-ordinate within the kit. 

You will also be lucky enough to recieve two beautiful flair badges exclusively made by Kayla for The Scrappery (designs by Sweet Shoppe Designs). 

There are a set of stunning coral chipboard thickers as well as a flat alpha sticker set. The colour of these will vary as they come from a collection pack from MME. 

We were also lucky enough to exhibit more of those amazing Chic Tag label stickers and this time from the Cloud Nine collection. The colours all beautifully compliment Tilly. 

Want to see these in real life? Kayla has made an amazing video walking you through the contents. Just look below!
