Shabby Chic Layout!

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? For todays post I am making a Layout which has been inspired by all my fellow Dt's who make such amazing layouts! Hope you all like it! This is a picture heavy post so sit back n read on :)

This is what I created with the oh so Gorgeous Pion Designs papers!

This is a wycinanka chipboard butterfly! Isn't it gorgeous?

I started with added the base paper to a chipboard sheet next I layered the "pink fabric" print sheet to it and distressed its edges using my favourite Prima Marketing distressing tool.

Next I cut 2 papers and distressed and layered them on cream coloured cardstock!

Added it to the base using double sided foam tape.

Next I did some stencelling using a very gorgeous stencil by The crafters Workshop - Cabbage rose

I also did little spraying with few of my Lindy's and added these gorgeous die cuts I cut using the Hollywood die by- sue willson Its a very pretty die and I just love how it looks!

Next I added my picture and begun with the embellishing!

I've added 2 more die cuts using the Dancing doily border die by cheery lynn

Its a very pretty die and I love the lacy look of it. I've embellished the layout using variety of mulberry roses from the store along with the oh soo prettyy chipboard cut outs by Wycinanka available in our store.

I added this pretty art glitter to the center of the butterfly! The picture cannot do the justice to its true beauty.

To add some finishing touches I added a sentiment from this stamp set by Justrite!

Hope you all like it!

Have a good day

Hugs

Capture Memories!

“The gladdest moment in human life, me thinks,

is a departure into unknown lands.”

– Sir Richard Burton

To travel is to discover,

Its all about exploring the unknown,
making memories,
capturing the moments
cherishing...
those good old days...

Filled with freshness, lively designs, happy colours and soothing feel

Heidi Swapp - September Skies Paper Pad suited the best to work with.

The theme being travel, I choose the following papers

with graphic elements with blues and greens .

(oh these patterns are amazing!)

Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Which paper goes at the top?
Which paper goes at the bottom?
Which paper dwells in between?

(after a bit of thinking...)

Using the amazing super sturdy Tonic super trimmer

I have trimmed the following papers according to the sizes mentioned below.

(12" x 12" - Base)

no need to trim

(11.5" x 11.5"- Centre)

(11" x11" - Top)

Then I decided to go with the following paper being at the top.

(It is upto you to decide which paper you want to embellish.)

I turned the blue pattered paper over and used the white page instead as I love White.
(There are several times when breathing space is required.Hence White suited the best.)

Viola! After deciding their positions it is time for the icing.

I picked these 2 papers from the Stack with some

amazing quotes, words, patterns, bright and happy snap cards.
Timmed them using the super amazing Martha Stewart Scissors.

(It is always a good idea to use the snap cards to make your projects interesting
and to give that little memory touch.)

Then I chose the following papers and

trimmed them according to the sizes of the snap cards.

Having looked at all the snap cards I picked few of the co-ordinating ones,

especially the ones with travel icons and memories icons.

I loved the friends forever, happy trails and smile pretty.

(good old memories! These few words took me right back in those times.)

Then aligned each of the following snap cards

to that of the black trimmed paper pieces.

Using the super tacky - red tacky tape I pasted the snap cards

on to the black cards to make the snap cards sturdy.
(I always prefer using the amazing tacky tape
due to its super tacky and transparent clear crisp sticking qualities.)

Lets begin assembling now.

Using the super red tacky tape - especially 24mm is excellent to stick and align the 3 papers

in the centre as shown in the image below.

(There are several ways to arrange these papers)

(The red tacky tape is also a bubble free solution to stick your pages)

Now its time for the snap cards arrangement,

Using the 3D foam tape and the red tacky tape - 4mm and 8mm suits the best
(It is always a good idea to add dimensions to you layout,
it add depth and makes your layout look interesting,
hence a play with both is must.)
(Its a must must have tacky tape.)

Once all the snap cards have been placed

its time to add the photo mats.

(There are several way to arrange the snap cards and photo matts.)

Moving it all around and then deciding where it looks good
could be very fun idea to experiment.

Oooh these eye candies are just too amazing.

Playing around with it all is indeed super fun.

(I just cant get my eyes of these candies, they are so yum..

I love these embellishments.)
But at times a question about how to stick them often gets me thinking..
All thanks to the amazing tacky glue,
it dries all clear and indeed a perfect solution for all the sticking problems
(If you haven't tried it yet, its must a try).

Ahaa...now its time to add some cherries on the top, using the amazing and super cool

Heidi Swapp - Hello Today - Acrylic Words

Heidi Swapp - Hello Today Clear Pop Arrows - Helo Today

Heidi Swapp - Dreamy Ephemera Die-Cuts

(These beauties are a must, they are just super cool and can do

wonders in beautifying your projects and add those little emotion touches and boost up your page. )

And here it is...all ready...

Welcome Spring!

A very big Hello to Everyone!

When I tell people I do “scrapbooking”,

many of them think of a sugar paper book

purchased from a newsagent or

something made out of scrap etc

with photos and

several newspaper or magazine cuttings ,

and are usually quite confused with the whole idea.

How, where, why several questions fill up their mind.

But now things are different and the world of scrapbooking has taken a leap.

We now have designers papers, embellishments and more beautiful ways to

show off your wonderful photos, to put a meaning,

to add a story to them, a way to express your emotions.

By using designer papers and embellishments you can create

wonderful pieces of art which can be treasured for years.

Here rolls in my very 1st DT

step- by- step photo tutorial.

Spring! Who doesn't love Spring.

Spring is nature’s way of saying, "Let’s party!"

- Robin Williams

Filled with freshness, lively designs and happy colours
Heidi Swapp - September Skies Paper Pad suited the best to work with.

The theme being Spring, I choose the following papers

with flowers and bright greens and reds.

(oh these flowers are so beautiful!)

After having chosen the papers now its time to decide on
which paper goes at the top, bottom and which one stays in-between

as well as what combination makes a good attractive base for the layout,

(after a bit of thinking...)

I decided to go with the floral patterned paper being at the top.
(It is upto you to decide which paper you want to embellish.)

Now onto the next step.
Using the amazing super sturdy Tonic super trimmer,

I have trimmed the following papers according to the sizes mentioned below.
(12" x 12" - Base)
no need to trim
(11.5" x 11.5"- Centre)
(11" x11" - Top)
