Chase Your Dreams Layout for The Scrap Room

Today I'm sharing the third and final scrapbook layout that I have created for The Scrap Room craft store using the Silver Screen Magic collection from Craft O'Clock.

 

The base is the #4 paper from the Silver Screen Magic - 12x12 Main Papers pack. I die cut a piece of the Vintage White cardstock using one of the dies from the Uniquely Creative 6" x 8" Flip Folio Album Die Set. It was still on my desk from another project I was working on. If you don't have this die you can cut a piece of cardstock measuring 5 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches. 

 

While the cardstock colour matches the papers I wasn't liking how "clean" it looked, it stood out too much on the layout so I inked it by dragging a couple of ink pads in different colours across the entire piece of cardstock. This really helped to tone down the cardstock and work in with the rest of the layout. When you have adhered this to your layout base, flip the paper over and tape down the layers at the back using regular sticky tape. This will help strengthen and keep the layout base together.

 

I've used some of the DCW Shiraz Cardstock to mat the photo, it matched my dress perfectly. Next I fussy cut elements from the Silver Screen Magic Extras 3 Mixed Set. Craft O'Clock don't mess around with their elements, there's so much to use and choose from.

 

I then die cut some film strips using the Shiraz Cardstock and some scrap paper. These were cut using the Slimline Film Strip Frame and Mini Film Strip dies from Uniquely Creative. The larger film strip die cut was cut in half length ways and added as a border feature on either side of the photo. 

 

All elements were added to mainly to the right side of the photo with just two added to the left for some balance. The Dusty Attic Chipboard Title was added to the right of the photo. I didn't add anything to the chipboard as it worked just as it was.

 

Here is my completed layout plus angled close up photos so you can see how I've created and embellished the page. All products used including products available from The Scrap Room are listed below.

Picture Perfect Layout for The Scrap Room

Today I'm sharing the second of three scrapbook layouts that I have created for The Scrap Room craft store using the Silver Screen Magic collection from Craft O'Clock.

 

For this layout I went very masculine to showcase this collections versatility. You can do feminine and floral or masculine and grungy. The choice is yours.

 

For the base I have used the reverse side of the #1 paper and stenciled around the centre and cluster areas using a brick stencil and Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. I've added some random stamping using film strip stamps and Ground Espresso Distress Ink. Splatters were added using both colour inks mixed with some water.

 

 The frame was cut from the reverse side of the #6 paper with a cutting knife rather than scissors or a trimmer. This was so the original paper could still be used for a layout or project at a later date. This frame works perfectly with a 3x4" photo. I went with a sepia photo to keep in with the "vintage" feel of this collection.

 

Ink all edges of the frame including the inside edges. Flip the frame over and add double sided tape to the inside of the frame. Line it up over your photo and adhere to the photo. Add some scrap cardboard to the photo and frame then adhere to the layout base. 

 

Elements were fussy cut from the Silver Screen Magic - Extras Set 3 Mixed papers and inked with brown ink. Two halves of the viewfinders were die cut from the reverse side of the cover sheet. Before I die cut these, I cut the middle portion of the page first as I wanted to keep the mini paper squares for a project. I had enough scraps left over to cut halves of the viewfinder. These will be tucked under the photo mat anyway so you will only need halves. I also die cut a small scrap piece using the Mini Film Strip Die from Uniquely Creative. Don't discard the little square pieces as they will be added to the layout. Note: this die has been discontinued so if you don't have it or can't source it, Dusty Attic have a chipboard version so you could use this instead. It can be inked or even covered with the paper. If you don't have the exact products, there's always a workaround.

 

All elements were inked with brown ink and adhered to the base as shown. Ink the edges of the little square pieces from the viewfinder and add them to the base as shown. Add your chipboard title to the bottom of the frame. I had originally inked this with brown ink but because this title was in a fine font, it wasn't popping enough on the layout so I repainted it with a black paint pen. Some brown metallic sequins were added to the stars to complete the layout.

 

Here is my completed layout plus angled close up photos so you can see how I've created and embellished the page. All products used including products available from The Scrap Room are listed below.

Remember This Layout for The Scrap Room

Today I'm sharing the first of three scrapbook layouts that I have created for The Scrap Room craft store using the Silver Screen Magic collection from Craft O'Clock.

 

For the base I cut a 2 inch frame from the Real Raven CDW Cardstock. Next I trimmed 1/4 inch from each side of the #3 paper from the Silver Screen Magic - 12x12 Main Papers pack. Distress the edges of the pape. Add glue to the inside of the black cardstock frame then add the #3 paper to the frame to form the base.

 

On the base I lightly stenciled some brown ink around the edges of the flower clusters using. This just helps to give some added texture and interest.

 

Next I die cut a frame from the leftover Real Raven DCW Cardstock and used that to lightly trace an oval on my photo so I knew where to cut it. Oval dies can vary in size and even shape so doing it this way rather than using a die oval makes sure that your photo is exactly the right size for this particular frame. Add some scrap cardstock to the back and adhere to the layout base. I've just used some of the leftover chipboard (negative image) from the chipboard title.

 

Elements were fussy cut from the Silver Screen Magic Extras Set 3 Mixed papers. I then die cut two flourishes and a fan from the Shiraz DCW Cardstock. The chipboard title was inked with the Aged Mahogany Oxide Ink first then with the Lumberjack Plaid Oxide Ink.

 

All elements were then added to the layout as shown. I wanted a little more interested and tie into the colour of the teddy bear, so I added some gold splatters using gold acrylic ink. Because I was using the dropper and not a brush and it was acrylic, it made a bit of a mess and I smudged it when trying to clean it up. In the end I actually liked the effect, so I added more and even lightly dabbed more onto the frame just using my finger. Sometimes accidents turn into happy accidents when crafting! Some white pearls were added to complete the layout and play off the pearls in the photo.

 

Here is my completed layout plus angled close up photos so you can see how I've created and embellished the page. All products used including products available from The Scrap Room are listed below.

Welcome Little One Wall Decor for Paper Rose

Hi everyone! I'm sharing my first project created for Paper Rose using the Little Koala Adventures collection. This collection is available from the Paper Rose website or your local stockist. 

 

The koala images in this collection are super cute and I had to use this larger image of the koalas on a home decor piece. I had a 12x12 timber frame in my stash so I decided to use it as a shadow box/wall decor piece for a baby's room. This can stand on top of drawers or add some hooks and hang it on the wall.

 

Here is my completed layout plus close up photos showing how I've created and embellished the project. A full list of Paper Rose products used is listed below.
