Scrapbook Layout || First Edition 'Sweet Nothings'

Hi all,

I have a layout to share today using the First Edition 'Sweet Nothings' papers from Trimcraft.

The layout is a scraplift from the ladies at CreateCraftRepeat , which were scraplifts from RoseyPoseyStudio.

The picture is of Nathan and I on our anniversary. I thought the paper with the hearts matches my little bow. 

1. Use dies to cut bunting from different patterned papers.
2. Arrange the bunting in rows across the layout and glue to a 12x12 sheet of patterned cardstock. Try and pick something plain-ish so your bunting stands out.
3. Print your photo at 4x4" and mount onto patterned paper.
4. In the area your photo will sit on, add a thin layer of gesso.
5. Cut lengths of twine and stick across the top of each row of bunting.
6. Stick down your photo, using 3D foam.
7. Add a small peg to the ends of each length of twine. Stick the pegs down. 
8. Finish with a title and the date, and bows to embellish.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blue Tit || Scrapbook Layout || StudioLight 'My Botanic Garden' || Scraplift Yourself

Hi all,

I have a scrapbook layout to share today using the StudioLight 'My Botanic Garden' collection that you can pick up from Cherish The Memory

I must admit, I cheated a bit with this - the picture is printed from Wikipedia - I tried for ages to get a decent picture of the Blue Tits in our garden but they are too far away and too fast. But, I had this idea of using a picture of the little birds with the collection so to Google I went.

This layout was created for one of the National Scrapbook Day challenges over on 'For The Love Of Pretty Paper' on Facebook. The challenge was to 'scraplift' one of your oldest or even your first scrapbook layout. Here is a pic of the new layout with the one it was scraplifted from. I made it back in 2006. In my defence, there wasn't anywhere near as many scrapbook products available and also, I was 12 years old! I really enjoyed scraplifting myself.

Thank for stopping by and I wonder if you will try scraplifting yourself too!
