Layouts in July

Hello again and welcome back. This time I would like to share the results of my July monthly layout workshop with you.

The moment I set eyes on Prima's Garden Fable collection I knew I wanted to scrap this photo of our younger daughter using it.

Monthly Layout Sample - July

I used one sheet of the paper as the base (847210) and layered planner pages and tags cut from the other (847227) to add a cluster of layers. I used both the cling and clear stamps from the collection plus a couple of older stamps from Kaisercraft ( the doily embossed in WOW's Bright White ), Inkadinkado ( the quirky 'adorable' ) and a couple of little Teresa Collins word stamps. I used some little scraps of paper to stamp and fussy cut the tiny pink butterflies and had a layout complete with only two sheets of paper and a tiny scrap of lace.

Here are some of the layouts made in the workshop based around the ideas used in my sample...

Apologies to Lucy, Karen and Ellie whose layouts I forgot to photograph, they were fab too with some clever colour combos!

Next month's workshop is a double layout with some background masking and stamping with clever use of quite basic dies to create trims, ric rac and other embellishments. Again I fell in love with these ivory and black papers from Authentique's Everlasting collection. A perfect match for WOW's Vanilla White embossing powder and appropriate for some photos taken of my grandparents and great-grandparents around 1900.

 

As ever, those attending this workshop will have a free choice of papers to work with the colours and subject of their photos, and it is always interesting to see how different the resulting layouts turn out.

Thank you for popping by, I hope you will join me again very soon.

Lovely Layouts

Hello there, I hope our Summer weather is suiting you wherever you are, we have gone from too hot, too, humid and too bright to a thunder storm and too much rain in quick succession so I have some pretty summery layouts for you.

We had a sneaky repeat of our June Layout Workshop today as some of our regular scrappers had missed the original sessions. The technique we were working with was creating a stylised flower from die cut or punched hearts with some simple banners to finish off.

We ended up with lovely, fresh and summery layouts.....

........each with different papers.

This one used a combination of Colour Vibe papers from Simple Stories and a BoBunny paper from their Gift of Love collection. The stamps and Stamp and Cut tabs used here are from Hero Arts.

Again the papers in this layout are from the Colour Vibe collection together with a Prima paper. The stamp and cut set used is the new Planner Clips set by Kelly Purkey for Hero Arts.

Finally, we have a stunning colour combination from Colour Vibe and the brand new Garden Fable collection from Prima. I so love it when so many variations on the original idea develop like this. Brilliant work ladies!

The Garden Fable collection stamps and papers feature on my July Layout sample too, they have such beautiful colours and details.

If you fancy joining me for either of the July sessions on Tues 16/7 10am to 1pm or Thurs 23/7 10.30am to 1.30pm (only one space remaining on this one) you will find full details over at http://sosimplysnazzy.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/july-workshops-snazzys.html

Thanks for stopping by I will be back soon, I hope you will join me then x
