Hi everyone. Happy National Scrapbook Day!
As you read this I'm at a luxury scrapbooking weekend in a gorgeous town in the middle of the North Island. I'm so lucky!
Anyway, as its a very special scrapping day today we thought you might like a free class. Yep, you read right. Below is a picture of a LO I've created just for today plus instructions on how it was put together.
Enjoy!
Supplies you’ll need:
Threading water punch
Trimmer
Finger craft knife
Heidi Grace Sweetest Bug patterned paper & 3D stickers
Tim Holtz Distressed ink
· Use the threading water punch to create a border along the bottom of your photo
· Then cut out a few patterns that you’d like to use from a second piece of patterned paper
· Work out where your photo is going to be, draw a rough outline in pencil on your PP
· Use the distressed ink to make a pattern under the photo
· Cut around the flowers so you can pop the bottom right corner of your photo under them
· Place your pieces of pattern under the bottom right corner of your photo
· Place the photo on top and stitch on.
· Stitch along the bottom of the page to form a pattern in the ‘grass’
· Cut out some additional ladybirds, and use the 3D stickers to make parts of the page ‘pop’ more
· Sprinkle silver butterflies around the page and stamp your title across the page (if you wish, you can stamp or handwrite some journaling around the edge of the photo)
· Finally use an Ink by Steph stamp across the bottom right corner of the photo
· You are done!
Hope you're having a lovely time at your retreat Trina, sounds wonderful, this layout is just gorgeous :0) This is definately one of my favourite ranges.Love the idea of the scalloped border on the photo.
