Scrapaholics Unite Session 6 Class 3

This is a combination layout using a few different paper packs, Zoe, Blossom, Penelope, and Chalk It Up. The colours are all reflected in the Chalk It Up star paper. I echoed the stars on the bottom by stamping a star border on the lagoon strips. I added lagoon washi tape at the top to complement the bottom strips. With some cricut cuts of music notes and the title, plus a few fun words underneath the papers on the left side, the layout was done.

No risk of a real Sugar Rush here, it's only paper. Cute little donuts and ice creams dot the pages of the Sugar Rush paper pack. Working with this paper might make you a little hungry though. Then stamping the delectable desserts onto the page, that won't help either, plus we'll top it off with glitter! I used the new shimmer brush pen and it's pretty sweet... no mess here and it dries quick too. I shimmered sprinkled in the title and added some more to the desserts that also had sprinkles. It's a bit hard to tell so I took a close up below.

I drew on some sprinkles to echo the ones on the donuts with markers. added some glitter dots and the page was done. Don't eat it please!

Welcome back everyone! Another session is starting and I hope everyone will be excited for the new layouts. I've got some cute ideas I'm hoping to try. If you have any suggestions for topics of layouts, please feel free to email me. 

The first layout is featuring the new Some Kinda Wonderful paper pack. I've been itching to do a coffee layout, but it's easily transformed by not using the coffee cup and savoring something else. I like the format of the pictures in this layout by clustering them but having lots of room for multiple pics. There's also room to add smaller pictures that aren't matted. The coffee cup will can also serve as a journaling space. 

I completed the layout by adding a chalkboard pennant and used the Chalkboard Marker from CTMH to write #coffee. I also used the zip strip sayings and added them in that corner as well. I used the CTMH Artistry cartridge to cut out Savor and the coffee cup. Finally, I placed a heart jewel inside the heart on the cup cozy and popped the coffee cup with 3D foam tape.

If you made it to the retreat you have already experienced the Oh Deer! paper pack and oh my is it ever gorgeous. The reverse side of this paper is pinecones and pine needles. 

I decided to play up the fun of the deer on this layout. Along the Whisper grey cardstock is some Juniper washi tape, I dove-tailed my longer piece and then placed it upside down on the washi tape on one half of it. On the other half of the washi tape, I put down the smaller Whisper grey squares, leaving space to fold the tape around the edges. This ensured that I had an even amount of washi tape on all 3 of my squares because I could line them up better instead of cutting out pieces first and then lining them up. The longer cardstock piece anchored the tape well. I then cut the washi tape and folded the edges around the cardstock. 

I completed the layout with a Cricut title from Winter Frolic, a wooden deer and some twine wrapped around the bottom of the left side and knotted.

Here is another layout using the cute paper from the Holiday Expressions catalogue. This is City Sidewalks and while I have featured the house paper, the other side has these super cute wreaths on it. Can't even describe how cute the rest of the paper in the pack is. I played off of the house theme by stamping a tag with Home for the Holidays and then cut out a door and wreath using the Cricut. I finished off the layout with some glitter trim and I used the zip strip as journaling under one of the photos.

It's a party! This is a great layout for any celebration. I used some leftover paper from the For Always and Yuletide Carol. This is busy patterned paper, but when it's in small pieces and strategically placed around the page, it ensures that the patterns don't over power the layout. I finished it off by heat embossing the title with black embossing powder. I also used a scallop border punch for the black strips that go over the pennants, some gold sequins and random background stamping of confetti. This is a great layout for almost any paper and it allows for a large number of pictures.

I think when you see this layout in person you will like it even more! I had a couple of paper packs left of a CTMH Promotion from last spring called Happy Times. It has this gorgeous floral paper echoed throughout the pack in different ways, one is beautiful pink with shiny gold outlined flowers, while another is a full coloured version, then a white with a mint/teal green outline. You can see all three different papers in the close up below. I wanted to use these many papers in the layout, without using large pieces of this very busy paper. Plus I needed to have enough for all my students. I saw a similar layout on Pinterest and decided to adapt the layout with this paper pack here to make a patchwork type of background. 

To finish off the layout, I used this adorable sewing stamp set for the title, hearts on the right side and the cute banner on the top left page. I also used the gold striped paper from the paper pack and made a band across the page and matted it in pomegranate cardstock. Last piece was the white and gold ribbon around the 5x7 mat.
