Next Totalpapercrafts kit

Here is the double layout for the next Totalpapercrafts club night. Papers are Cosmo Cricket Earth Love. Photos are 1 7x5 and 2 6x4 portrait or you could do 2 3x2 landscapes as I have done. Just bear in mind that the large photo has a strip 1" wide cut off the side so you dont want to be cutting into someones face!!

Totalpapercrafts kit

As Karen and Dave are away getting married I am running the crops for the next few weeks, this is Karens 2nd October kit, designed by Claire from her Kent club.

Claire managed to get a second layout from what was left over from the kit and this layout below is my version of it, I had to use something else for the leaves and I changed the photo layout but I love these Pink Paislee papers, so rich and perfect for this time of year.

Bo Bunny Popsicle

These are the layouts the girls did in todays class....we used Bo Bunny Popsicle range to make some Summer themed layouts. Brighter colours than we are used to working with...but great for beach and water photos. They did a single and a double layout ...I have posted seperate photos of the double so you can see them better. I used a new product called Safmat to do the journaling, just type and print out on your computer and the Safmat is clear and sticky on the back so you can just stick it down on top of your cardstock and its almost invisible. Great if you dont like your own handwriting on your journaling.

My Minds Eye Bloom & Grow class

Here are the 2 layouts we did in todays class...all the cardstock is from the Bloom range. The first layout "Smiles" has the co-ordinating ribbons and flowers cut from the one of the cardstock sheets. The tags are a Sizzix die and the title was cut on the Cricut using Lyrical Letters cartridge. The "Beautiful" word is a stamp, buttons from stash and scalloped edge is a Quickutz border die.

The 2nd layout is a simple page suitable for a male/boy photo so I kept it flower free. The title and arrow are from Street Sign cartridge, buttons from stash.

Our next class is on the Saturday 19th September if you are interested in joining us.

Meeting Shrek

Finally found some time to do a page today... it was a kit so it was much quicker than making up my own layout. It was a dawn Evans kit from A Trip down memory lane crop yonks ago....I changed the layout slightly as I had a different sized photo. Unfortunately I threw away what was left of the papers so I dont know who made them...the circles are chipboard circles that I painted and the alphabet is Scenic Route. I made the photo corners with a EK Success punch and the circle behind the title are cut with Nestabilitie dies. Think the photo goes great with the papers and its one I have had since 2005...so at last it has been scrapped!

21st Birthday

I had to break into some lovely virgin 12x12 sheets of this fab Crate cardstock to make a card so I promised myself I would use the rest to make a page and not just put it all back in the draw!! I love Crate its so lovely and thick and doublesided which is a bonus! I had stickers to go with the range as well, so this is what I came up with.

I used a Bazzill stitiching template to do the pattern across the bottom and the flourish is a Sizzix die. The flower centres are just some small flower punches. The date stamp if from Imaginisce, everything else is Crate Cowgirl collection.

Pretty in Pink

Somehow these papers ended up in my basket after a quick trip to Sugar and Spice on Friday...amazingly enough..lol!! Still trying to use older photos and I remembered I had this photo of Emma which needed some tweeking on picasa, its still not perfect by any means but I can live with it and would rather have it in her album than not used at all. Everything is My Minds Eye, the title was done with American Craft thickers and the brads& buttons were from my stash. The flourish and the corners are sizzix and sizzlet dies.
