I've had time this week to have a play with the new 'Craft Happy' collection from Creative Memories. This is a bright and fun collection celebrating all things arts & crafts. Perfect for documenting your own crafty journey! The stand out for me was the Scalloped Crochet border punch which released with this paper collection and was the main focus of my layout!
To create this layout I used the following products:
As I mentioned prior, this is a bright collection with lots of colour. So I chose to work on a white background, not only does this help the colours 'pop' but it also calms the surface so to speak and not be too busy drawing the attention away from your photos. I cut a sheet of Bright White cardstock to 11.5" x 11.5" and adhered it over a sheet of Navy cardstock. (You can remove the centre of the Navy first if you wish to conserve supply.)
It was all about that Scalloped Crochet border punch next and I punched a bunch of strips from 4 different designer papers. They were trimmed to a 11.5" length and layered over each other on the base of the layout, finished off with some border stickers at the top edge of them. So easy and it gives a great texture to the page.
Using a ruler and black journal pen I drew a stitched line border around the edge of the Bright White background. A subtle effect but it frames the layout nicely. You'll also notice some buttons created from the designer papers. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut these and varied the size of each.
There's space for three photos on this layout - one 6" x 4", one 4" x 6" and one 4" x 4". The photo mats are cut from Navy cardstock and measure- one 6.25" x 4.25", one 4.25" x 6.25" and one 4.25" x 4.25".
This was a simple page to bring together and one that I hope you give a try.
Until next time,
Kylie.
