Xmas Time Layout for The Scrap Room

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook layout I have created for The Scrap Room craft store using the Merry & Bright collection from Ciao Bella.

 

I chose some of the pattern papers from the Merry & Bright 12x12 Patterns Pad for the base. I have cut a 1" frame from the lighter wreath design paper and the green paper has been cut down to 11"x11" then adhered to the base frame on an angle. I do this from time to time to add some extra interest and it helps to break up the design. The papers that the banner and photo mat were cut from is in the main Merry & Bright 12x12 Paper Pad.

 

All elements were cut from papers in the Merry & Bright 12x12 Paper Pad, 12x12 Patters Pad and the 6x6 Fussy Cut Pad. 

 

To embellish the layout I have used poinsettia flowers from Uniquely Creative, these are available from The Scrap Room. Other embellishments such as the chipboard elements, twine and gold pearls are from my stash. I chose the brushed gold gems to match the centres of the poinsettia flowers.

All products used from The Scrap Room are listed and linked below. 

 

Here are some close up photos of my layout to show how I created and embellished the page.

Silver Screen Magic Flip Folio Album for The Scrap Room

Today I'm sharing a folio that I have created for The Scrap Room craft store using the Silver Screen Magic collection from Craft O'Clock.

 

As soon as I saw the pack of 8x8 papers I knew I had to create a mini album of sorts. I've had the flip folio album and coordinating die set from Uniquely Creative sitting in my stash for a while. I saw that they were both available from The Scrap Room so this was a perfect opportunity to use them with these papers. Being 8x8 papers they are the perfect size for this die set and folio album.

 

I decided to leave the cover plain given I had used papers with an image and I didn't want to cover that up. I will add a title later when I find one that is suitable. If you use plain paper for the cover you can then add elements to the cover. Sometimes I like them they way they are, less can be more.

 

I have used the newer expanded version for this album. Something to keep in mind with the inner parts when decorating them is you will need to keep the embellishments to a minimum and flat as possible. Don't add too much bulk or it will be hard to close especially if you have used magnets as I have rather than a bow to keep the album closed.

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.
