Penelopee Dee Blooming Fields mini album

I am quite fortunate to design for Retha Brookes Scrapcats Den kit club every month, usually its a double page layout but every so often she has a bonus mini album kit. This month I got the amazing new papers from Penelopee Dee - Blooming fields range to create with. What a pleasure it was to work with these papers it made designing the mini album so easy and alot of fun.

Each of my pages has a pocket in the side so you can add extra photos (pictured above). I again stamped onto vellum and glued the butterflys to the side of my photo mats to make it easier to pull them out of the pockets.

sorry forgot to add the tutorial for the layout. Just loving Fabscraps papers at the moment if you can get your hands on this range you wont regret it!

Magical Moments Layout – Jeanine de Bruyn

A single page layout using the Fabscraps C88 range

Requirements:

2 Sheets of C88 007 Blossom

1 Sheet of C88 008 Fairy Dust

1 Chipboard title C88 005 (Magic Moments)

Green cardstock

Black cardstock

Texture paste and stencil of your choice (optional)

White and Grey paint (optional)

Flat back pearls

Lace/Cheesecloth/gauze

Flower and embellishments of your choice

(I made my own flower using fabric)

Directions:

Your background paper  will be the C88 007 (Blossom) paper, Using your texture paste and a stencil add randomly to your background paper, I also stamped over the texture paste once it was dry just so that it wasn’t so white.

Fussy cut the Fairy from the bottom left of the C88 007 paper.

Fussy cut the flower ‘border’ on the left side of the C88 008 paper, also cut out the round ‘frame’.

Cut a piece of measuring 16.5cm across and 21cm down from the remaining piece of C88 008 paper, distress and chalk the edges before matting it on a piece of green cardstock.

Matt your photo first on black cardstock then onto a piece of the C88 008 paper, then onto green cardstock remembering to distress and chalk all the edges. I then added foam to the back to lift the photo slightly from my page. Before I glued it down onto my 16.5 x 21cm piece I added a little cheese cloth to the left side of the photo.

Fussy some flowers from the remaining pieces of both papers.

To Assemble the page: Begin by glueing down your flower border to the left side of your background paper ( I added foam squares behind my flowers to lift them a bit, as well as some gauze behind the flowers for a bit of texture).

I glued a piece of wide lace (which I cut from an old kitchen curtain) to the right side of my page, you don’t really see much of it but I just liked the softness that it added to the page.

Next glue down the 16.5 x 21cm piece. To the top right of the piece add your frame, flower ( I made my own using another part of the kitchen curtain) and your cut out flowers. I also stamped some butterflys onto vellum and embossed them then fussy cut them out. I added a white frame from my stash behind my flower and one of my butterflys in the middle of the frame. On the bottom right of the page I added my fairy and some more of the cut out flowers as well as another smaller white frame from my stash and another stamped butterfly.

Add the title to the bottom left of the page and then just have fun embellishing your page further. I added some stickels to my flower as well as some flat back pearls here and there.

Lastly I splattered some white and grey paint over my page ( remember to cover your photo first). Happy scrapping everyone!.

Single Layout using Fabscraps Floral dreams collection

Here's a single page layout I created using FABSCRAPS C88 Floral dreams collection. I don't often make single page layouts but I just love this photo of my daughter and the papers from the Floral dreams collection just worked beautifully with it. I also had a lot of fun making the flower on the page, so much fun in fact that I ended up making several flowers
