Christmas Magic

Happy New Year to you all, one of my new year resolutions is to do more scrapbooking...this is my first layout with photos from this years christmas. I have used the Fancy Pants Christmas Magic kit, there are some fab acetates in there.

Back soon with my layout for a Total papercrafts kit.

Totalpapercrafts Dec Kit 2

I was asked by Karen to design the 2nd kit for December using the fab papers and chipboard die cuts from Cosmo Crickets range 'Jolly By Golly'. I wanted to use some photos of a holiday I took with friends in Austria just before Christmas 2007 so I used a the snowy theme as against another Christmas one, although there are both on the chipboard sheets. I used Safmat for the journaling, a great product if you like to type your journaling on the computer and then you just peel the backing off and stick down onto some paper and as its transparent you dont see it...I have been using it alot and would recomend it.

This second layout is made from the papers etc I had left over from the first layout....makes the kit great value for money. All I added was some more plain cardstock and for the girls who have brought the kit I have used a 7x5 sized photo in both layouts but there is room for you to use 2 smaller 6x4 photos.

Totalpapercrafts dec kit 1

Here is my version of the Decembers first kit designed by Tracey. The paper layout is the same but I have changed the photo sizes and the position of the embellishments. I have used 4 6x4 landscape and 2 6x4 portraits..some of them have had a little bit taken off. The papers are My Minds Eye and you get a whole pack of crystal gems to use on your page.

Totalpapercrafts Nov kit 2

For the girls coming next week to Karens crop, here is the layout we will be doing designed by Claire. I have used the same photo sizes 1 6 x 4 & 2 x 2.5 x 4 portrait. You need a dark brown and a rouge/red ink pad, the red gel pen you get in the kit. Papers/die cuts are My Little shoebox..Imagine a forest.

My next class is on Saturday 28th November....details on my side bar.

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!!

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.
