Julie's Craft Haven

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a layout I created using papers and chipboard from Blue Fern Studios. I have submitted this layout as part of my application to join Blue Fern Studios Design Team in 2017. These papers are just gorgeous and the chipboard and stamps all coordinate beautifully. The paper I have used is from the Montage Collection called "Invitation" and the chipboard is Shabby Brick Bits.

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a layout created using various chipboard embellishments from 2 Crafty Chipboard. I created this layout featuring my gorgous boy Harley as part of my application to join their Design Team in 2017. The chipboard I have used are: Checkerboard Clumps, Olivia Frame and the title "Those Eyes". I was wondering what to title the layout when I found the title piece hiding in amongst some other craft items. It just finished off the layout perfectly! I mean, look at those eyes!

Hi everyone! This is my layout that I created for the White... with 1 Challenge. This month's colour is Cayenne. I had a photo of my sister's cat Mittens on my phone and the blanket he is on was the perfect colour for this challenge.

Next I arranged various scraps of paper and kept moving them around until I was happy with the position both on the base and underneath the photos.  These scraps were all inked with brown ink and attached together with a stapler before adhering to the base. Don't worry about the staples showing, they will be hidden by the photos/embellishments.


I then took my photos and trimmed them down to approximately 4" x 4" and matted using the reverse side of the "Leap of Leopards" patterned paper. The edges inked with brown ink. I then added the giraffes and doilies from the ephemera pack and cut down some stickers from the collection pack. These were all inked with brown ink and adhered to the layout. Some were adhered using foam tape for dimension.


 In my previous Guest DT post I showed how the Chiamaka Doily Die could be used in different ways. Those two "demo" pieces ended up on this layout which complimented the ephemera doilies perfectly! You could do this with the ephemera pieces quite easily too if you only have a small part of them showing. That way you can use them in various positions on your layout or even spread them over several projects. No wastage and you're getting more bang for your bucks. Winning!

I adhered the photos onto some scrap cardboard to give the layout even more dimension and to help the photos pop. Then some square bronze brads for a finishing touch and the layout is finished!

 I hope that you like this layout that I have created for you today. Feel free to replicate this layout or perhaps take some inpiration from it and create your own Wild & Free layout.
