Scrapbook Garden Design Kit - Dad

This is my 2nd layout for this months desgn kit

for the Scrapbook Garden using the

Teresa Collins Vintage Finds papers

 

Beginning with some Bazzill cardstock in

Tawny light I punched some holes going in opposite

directions to each other and threaded them with

two different kinds of twine from the Vintage Finds Trim pack

Next using some Ribbon from the same

Vintage Finds Trims pack I inked it with some

Memento Dew Drop Ink

in Rich Cocoa

Cutting two panels from Vintage Finds Flowers

and Bazzill Walnut Cream

punching a series of holes in both pieces on

the opposite sides to each other

 

and then lacing them together with the

Vintage finds Twine

I also cut two smaller pieces from the same card

and rounded all the corners to soften them

Once the two larger pieces were laced together

I added them to the 12 x 12 and fastened the smaller

pieces on either side , using the reverse of each pattern

I cut 5 tags , 3 large ones from the Walnut cream cardstock

which I stamped with the Rich Cocoa ink and

2 smaller ones cut from the Vintage finds Flowers paper

I inked all of the edges with the rich cocoa to age them

I threaded them all onto some of the twine

fastening them down to ensure they all stayed facing forward

and punched 2 holes in the bottom corners of the two

smaller pieces of card , passing the twin to the back of the page

and securing it in place.

I added the photo without further matting as it was an original

and I didnt want to alter it in anyway and the journaling

to the side of it.

Lastly attached my title which was actually the date

which had been stamped on the reverse of the photo

of my Dad wearing his demob coat.

Scrapbook Garden Design Kit - Its Spooky

This layout is from Octobers design kit for the

Scrapbook Garden using the Teresa Collins papers.

Beginning with the Vintage Clocks patterned paper

I marked off a set of holes over two opposite corners

one at the top and one at the bottom.

Next I punched out some holes

Then threaded some twine through the holes

from the Vintage Finds Trims pack

Choosing my photo which I mat on

Bazzill Cardstock in Coal , i tore away the

bottom edge to leave a raggy finish

I punched a series of holes beneath the photo

to thread through some of the same twine.

Using the Bazzill Coal Cardstock I cut out my title

and some lace edging

which I placed at the top and bottom within

the threaded twine corners

The image was then mat again onto some

Bazzill Cardstock in Cheddar

I die cut some spiders and bats from the Coal

cardstock and cut a slither of card to act as though the

spider was hanging from the lace

added the bats to the Cheddar cardstock

And that was my layout finished.

Although the image is one from my vintage

family collection unfortunately we have no idea

which branch of the family they are from, or sadly what their

names are.

Whenever ive looked at this picture its always made me think of Vampires

Wonder if they were? Wonder if theres a Spooky side to my family?

Mind you first thing in the morning I look quite

deadly before the make up goes on.........

Maybe best to leave that there lol

Scrapbook Garden Design Kit - Flutter By Baby

This is my 2nd design for this months kit

for the Scrapbook Garden

I began by taking the border off the Graphic 45

Butterfly Specifies 12 x 12 paper.

Next I too one of the photos from my collection

of my Auntie Bessie and my cousin Jane Wilson

I trimmed the picture and sliced it into 3

I matted the picture on Bazzills Sugar Cream cardstock

and rounded the corners

Next I took another piece of Sugar Cream

and using some scrunched up Bubble wrap

and some distress inks i added some colour to the paper

to match the butterflies Id cut out of the

Butterfly Specifies

I kept adding colours until I was happy with the result.

I cut some corners from the border Id cut earlier

and added them to the 12 x 12

I then went on to add a Bazzill cardstock matt of Blue Lagoon

once again matching it to the butterfly colours.

Using a Tim Holtz Alteration die I cut out the birdcage

and cut away the centre bars of the cage.

I stuck down the butterflies inside the cage

After adding a couple trying to escape

I added a flurry of them soaring to the top corner of the page.

And my title cut from the Blue Lagoon

I like this photo on this layout I think they go together well

Thanks for stopping by its much appriciated

Scrapbook Garden Kit - Layout 1

This is the first layout for this months kit for

The Scrapbook Garden

The picture is another from my Vintage collection

and its of my Mams cousin Peggy and her 2 friends .

Starting with some Bazzill cardstock in Blackbird

for the base i added a strip of Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe

Another square of the same paper but the reverse side

 matted on Bazzill Sugar Cream

Using a Tim Holtz / Ranger Distress Marker in Black Soot

I inked up a rubber stamp of a cornflower

I mist sprayed the stamped image with cold water

allowing the image to run slightly then dried it

with a heat tool leaving a smudged look

I used the same marker to ink up some butterfly rubber stamps

but this time left the sharp image

I cut out the cornflower and added it to the layout

I added my title Peggy and Pals which I cut

from the Market Place alphabet

And lastly added the butterflies

by gluing only down the body to allow the wings to stand

proud of the layout

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peep.

I have another layout tomorrow from the same kit.
