Cakewalk for Bella Paperie

Moments in Time

This Layout was created using the new "Cakewalk" range from October Afternoon. Funnily I have used a Christmas 2011 photo of the girls with this paper which is really a party range, but I think it works perfectly.



This was a quick and easy page to create for Bella Paperie. The background paper had all of this faux stitching with a star in the top right hand corner, which I cut out carefully as I wanted to use this again in the embellie clusters. I used stars from the flower stacks as well as bits from the Doo-dads, to finish off this page. The chipboard was inked in Pinecone and was from Imaginarium Designs.




Here is a shot of the layering of the stars on the side of the photo.

I created this layout using "Note to Self" paper range by Echo Park, another sample that I created for Bella Paperie. This paper, covered in numbers, was perfect for scrapping Daphne's school photos. Can I tell you how much I love this range, so many little elements on the paper that you can cut out and use, just YUM!!!



A little close up of the embossed Jenny Bowlin Coordinations paper that I sanded, I also added D-Lish Scraps washi, journal tag and crocheted flower.  The Martha Stewart Doiley was altered with Antique Linen Distress Stain and finally the title alphas are Jillibean corrugated alphas.

Hi All

I am back with a little number I created as a sample for my Local Scrapbooking Store Bella Paperie I have used the new papers from Dear Lizzy 'Neapolition'.  I created a fake poloriod and layered some papers and dripped some glimmer across the page, love how this turned out,

and here is a close up to show the layering

Thanks for looking, leave me some love

Prairie Hill Sample

Bright Sunshiny Day

Debra from Bella Paperie asked me to create a sample page with papers from Pink Pailee's 'Prairie Hill' the colours in this paper really suited some older photo's I had from the eighties. The particular photo I ended up using is the only photo I have of my family together prior to my parents getting divorced.

 

I created a faux notepaper out of one of the sheets as well as created a handmade bottlecap embellishment, I used distress embossing powder on the bottlecap to change the tone, here is a link to the tutorial on how I do this. I wanted to keep the focus of this page on the photo as I then made a pin wheel and added a few embellies to keep it simple.

The wooden buttons and washi tape used on this page was purchased from D-Lish Scraps

Hi All

Here is a sample I created for my local Scrapbooking store Bella Paperie, I used some yummy papers from Simple Stories

and I then embellished the page with some flowers, buttons and charms from D-Lish Scraps, here is a close up of the embellie clusters.

That bunny cameo was perfect for this layout as my daughter is wearing her Easter bonnet.

I am in love with machine sewing on my layouts at the moment.

and I still love my string and doilies as well ;)

Hope you like

Daphne and Poppy

Hi all,

Been a long time coming but here is the layout I promised last time, it's a very special picture taken of Daphne and her grandfather playing together. Richard passed away in 2008 and I have hesitated to scrap photo's of them together until now. I wanted the page to be special and I think that I have accomplished that with this Layout.

 

Here is some close ups of all the D-Lish Scraps, that I used on it,

Gorgeous 'Forget me Nots' and a teal lollipop from Charms Creations

Here I used a glass cabochon over the patterned paper with a resin rose and another forget me not,

Here is one of the antique brass charms that D-Lish stock,

Who knew simple wooden buttons could look so good,

love using the dressmakers safety pin with charms,

a carnival ticket,

last but not least, some of the 9cm triple head pins, with a Charm's Creation Clay button.

Hope you like this page, I spent a long time making each part unique.

Sisters

This month at Mad about Scrappin, the facebook challenge is to create a LO with a patterned paper base using paper strips and a one word title. I think I have done a great job considering, I have been laid up in bed for the best part of a week now.

I pulled out my pack from Crate Paper 'Random' and used 3 papers that complemented each other, used some of my favourite Distress Stains 'Old Paper' and black thread on my sewing machine to create this little number. Here is a close up of the embellie cluster,

I used a gorgeous new peacock charm, covered in tattered angels 'Glam' with new some new flowers from D-Lish Scraps, I wanted to keep it simple and focus on my darling girls.

Will be back when I am feeling better, to show you the first LO I have completed of my father in law and my eldest daughter, since he passed away nearly 4 years ago.

Til then

xx Lou
