C85 Shabby Rose Collection "MOM" Layout for Fab Scraps

Today at Fab Scraps I am sharing a photo of my mom. I wanted it to be soft, elegant and  wanted a floral cluster of some kind. The C85 Shabby Rose Collection was a perfect pick with the colouring and prints that mixed and matched so well. This collection had some awesome accents to finish it with a touch of antique vintage which suited it so well.

FOR THIS LAYOUT YOU WILL NEED:

Supply List:

Paper: C85 Shabby Rose Collection

Chipboard: CD 85 008 mirror frame

Stickers: ST85001

Ink: Tim Holtz mini pad

Accents: Ribbon

Other: cricut cut title, cardstock, flowers, black micron pen

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP #1: On this layout I went with paper layers and lots of accents... so start by pulling these items. I like to lay them out and decide which one goes where looking for a change in hues, prints and darkness.

STEP #2: In the above photo it shows the accents that I chose to work with. I added some cardstock for pop of colour and the hinge accent is fussy cut from the paper. I also chose a section of paper to cut and made the border running horizontal for depth and colour.

STEP #3: When all the layers are together I inked the edges with contrasting colour.

STEP #4: I cricut cut the title MOM and then traced around it with a micron black pen.

STEP #5: The cluster is a blend of ribbon and flowers.

STEP #6: The chipboard was inked, matted and on the centre section I added a sticker accent. 

STEP #7: This section showcases part of the photo chipboard frame which is inked and then matted with cardstock for dark border. Below it is a fun sticker matted and added along with some sew easy roller ink stitching.

C85 Shabby Rose Collection Love Tag for Fab Scraps

Today at Fab Scraps I am sharing this fun but easy Tag. I used C85 Shabby Rose Collection. Tags come in so many styles, shapes and so many product options. 

FOR THIS LAYOUT YOU WILL NEED:

Supply List:

Paper: C85 Shabby Rose Collection

Stickers: ST85001

Accents: dew drops

Punch: Martha Stewart

Other: cardstock, twine, ribbon, micron black pen

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP #1: Making tags if fun and easy. I allows you to use small pieces after creating with a new collection. So collect lots of coordinating pieces, some accents and some cardstock for base and matting. Grab your hole punch and some twine and ribbon to tie off.

STEP #2: A standard base is about 3" x 6". I like to cut a base then cut the layer above slightly smaller and this is the piece I create with before putting it onto the main background. This allows for some odd things like wrapping with twined for example before applying to the base.

STEP #3: I chose to use strip pieces which I glued to a base the estimated size to fit on slight angle.

The lowest piece was punched to add more dimension and I added the dew drop accents.

STEP #4: It's always fun to add tags, pennants or banners on a tag. I made a small pennant for out the side. I used 2 different prints to make it matted to black cardstock. I finished with xoxoxo doodled with micron black pen.

STEP #5: I chose the Love ladder sticker to finish off the front of my tag. I stuck it to white cardstock, fussy cut around it and then matted again and fussy cut on black cardstock

STEP #6: When this main piece is all together I then tilt it slightly and glue to the main base which is a full 2 layers when done.

STEP #7 When it's all together you circle punch the layers and then add twine and or ribbon to accent it. 

Tags are done on a small scale so there is so many fun options to create them... layer them... place off the edge and you can add 3D accents of all kinds too.

C86 Mother Nature Collection Oh so Peaceful Layout

C86 Mother Nature Collection Oh so Peaceful by Bev Code

FOR THIS LAYOUT YOU WILL NEED:

Paper; C86 Mother Nature Collection, Wild Olives 005, Berry Bliss 008 Butterfly Script 006
Stencil: DS 052 Branches of Leaves
Sticker: ST86 001 post cards
Metals: E6 008 assorted 
Chipboard: DC86 005
Marker: copic
Die: My Memory Box
Other: cardstock, flowers Petaloo, Forever in Time, Lace

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP #1:  Most often when creating a layout the best starting point is grabbing lots of matching coordinating and contrasting papers with lights, darks and a mix of prints along with some accenting cardstock. These papers should match well with the photo(s) you have pulled to work with.

STEP #2: I like to layer the papers to see what looks the best .. on top of each other... then lay the photos on top to see what looks the best.

STEP #3: When you have a rough idea then I decide on the background and often cut pieces of different shapes and sizes to get the most out of the papers that will be behind the photos. Inking the edges helps them pop where the changes are made. (if you're like me and don't glue down right away my tip to you is to take a photo of what you liked so when you pull it apart to start gluing from the bottom up.. you can view your photo for reference). 

STEP #4: with the background roughly done I like to lay the photos back on and see how things look to the eye. Lots of time you now need some stenciling with a pop of colour, or a die cut shape to pop with both colour and design. These often give the photos a base to hold them together. For this page I added dark green stenciling and some die cut shapes from cardstock.

STEP #5: The title is chosen and for this on I copic coloured the chipboard Oh so Peaceful. 

STEP #6: I chose a few accent options and played with them moving them around and rearranging them until they fit. For this page I chose some great metals in a floral and leaves along with some burlap accents with a lace bow to for clusters in 2 sections of the page.

STEP #7: There was a fab postcard sticker that went great in the title section as part of a clustered section. 

STEP #8: The outer section of chipboard off the title was copic coloured and was used to behind the one photo.... one photo was matted for pop of colour and .. one was left plain. 

Just remember pages should showcase the photos, tell a story and preserve memories for the future to share.

Thanks for stopping by today... .. see you again soon.
