Live Life Happy Everyday Layout *Class & Kit at The Scrap Cottage*

Hi there Scrappy People,
I have popped by today to share a beautiful layout I created for a class at The Scrap Cottage last month using Simple Stories Vintage Bliss Collection. I just love the colours in this collection they are bright and fun :) making them easy to work with. This simple looking layout shows different ways to use stickers and page elements to create a stunning page to add to your album


here are a couple of close ups



The Scrap Cottage also have this layout available as a kit you can find it here if your interested.
I hope you have a wonderfully scrappy weekend

I simply love how this canvas turned out with its pastel colours and a touch or grunge 

Materials used: Prima Firefly paper, brick mask, resin and junkyard findings, Twiddleybitz chippy cogs and grunge letters, Stampendous silver glitter embossing powder, Kaisercraft blooms, AC thickers, texture paste, white gesso and tissue paper.

Dream Layout

My first attempt at a mixed media layout.

I have used an old cardboard box as the background of this layout and have added gesso to soften the bright colours of this beautiful paper collection by Kaisercraft.

This was a fun layout to create and I really liked using mixed media in it, I think there will be more of it in my future layouts :-D

Other materials used: Prima flowers, resins, siic and junkyard findings, Kaisercraft blooms and collectibles, seam binding ribbon and Twiddleybitz chippy letters.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time happy scrappin

Beautiful Bouquets

Good morning srcappy people,

I know this is not really scrap related but I thought I would share anyway.

I made these bouquets for my little sisters friend who got married this month. They were a little more detailed than the bouquets I have made in the past but they turned out beautifully.
There are 5 in total the Brides and 4 bridesmaids.


Thanks for stopping by

Beautiful Layout

Simply beautiful, I really wanted the photo of my youngest daughter on this layout to be the center of attention so I kept it quite simple.

I have been trying lots of new things in my scrapping lately and it has been lots of fun. This is the first time I have pulled my sewing machine out in a long time but i had never really thought about stitching on a layout before either... love the effect it gives. 

Until next time happy scrappin
