Be Yourself!

November 5, 2021

Many things have changed over the last two years including the education system. Our son only attended college for one semester then college became virtual. He graduated without a ceremony, his diploma was simply mailed. I wanted to capture the moment because we are so very proud of him and his achievements and we had a photo shoot with his diploma.

To create this layout:

Step 1 – tear one 12×12 sheet roughly in half and ink the torn edge then adhere to a full 12×12 sheet. Distress and ink the edges of both papers

Step 2 – Use your favorite ECD stencil (I used one from the Earth Patterns Stencil pack) and ink as shown above

Step 3 – die cut the grid and the number tag from the Planner Essentials 40

Step 4 – Die cut, ink and assemble 6 flowers and leaves of your choosing (I used the florals 1, 2, 8 and 11)
Step 5 – create a photo mat cluster of 3 4×6 mats
Step 6 – Add any other embellishments you wish and enjoy

September 21, 2021

Good morning!  I am so excited to share my next layout with you!
I understand many people avoid using flowers on layouts with masculine photos but I do not! I use flowers on projects about my husband and sons all the time! 

To create this layout;
Step 1 – Cover your background paper with clear gesso and allow to dry.

Step 2 – using your favorite ECD stencil mix texture paste with your favorite colorant. I used a stencil from the Happy Patterns set and texture paste with brown brusho powder

Step 3 – using double sided sheets adhered to cardstock, die cut a mandala, elegant ornament (and keep the circle from the middle), 5 small stitched circles, the strip and 2 flowers ( I used the florals 13 and 10)
Step 4 – Mix together 2 silk microfine glitters that coordinate with your paper in equal amounts. (I used chocolate and blue) then use the glitter on the die cuts from double sided adhesive

Step 5 – Die cut 9 flowers from coordinating cardstock. I used the florals 8, 1, 11, 2, 13, and 10, ink, mold and assemble
Step 6 – Die cut a lacy leaves and cut them apart
Step 7 – Die cut 2 bubbles

Step 7 – Die cut the sentiment from the Sentiment Strip and assemble
Step 8 – Assemble everything as shown

I normally do not take photos in direct sunlight but I really wanted to show how beautiful the glitter looks!

My Hero

June 4, 2021

Good morning! Laura here today to share my next layout I created for ECD!
I really like to mix my papers from different collections as long as the color families are the same so for this layout I mixed some papers from the Mystical Winter paper pack, the Rusty Weathered and the Summer Art!

 

To create this layout:
Step 1 – Trim one paper to 11×7 and distress the edges, distress the edges of a 12×12 sheet and cut a ‘V’ into the top right of both papers about 2 1/2 ” from the edge. Cut one more piece of paper large enough to be adhered behind the cut ‘V’
Step 2 – adhere all the papers together and then cover with clear gesso and allow to dry

Step 3 – using watered down paints paint circles randomly in various sizes and also splatter some paint

Step 4 – Die cut 7 flowers and assemble. I die cut Florals 6, 8, 1, 2, 3, and 4 using white cardstock then painted them with the watercolor palette.

Step 5 – add your title

Step 6 – add some resin pieces, seed beads, art stones and cord to finish your layout!

Than you for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to create something today!

Good Job – Graduation Layout

May 4, 2021

Good morning! 
I am not a chronological scrapbooker. I scrapbook whatever I am inspired to, whenever I am inspired to, so I may scrapbook a photo from when our boys were little or from a couple of years ago when one of them graduated from high school. I find that I am much happier with my creations when I am inspired to create something. The beautiful colors from the Rusty Weather paper inspired me for this layout.

To create this layout:
Step 1 – Trim our papers to the following sizes: 1 at 12″x12″, 1 at 12″x11″, 1 at 12″x7″ and 1 at 12″x6″ and a photo mat. Distress all edges.

Step 2 – Die cut, ink and assemble 10 flowers and 4 leaves. I used florals 6, 8, 9, 1, 2, and 4.

Step 3 – Create your title and assemble as shown!
