Cut File Fun with Monique!

Hello My Creative Scrapbook friends! Today it's Monique on the blog sharing a step-by-step of one of my layouts created with the November Main Kit. I absolutely adore this month's kit with all the "Along the Way" goodies from Pebbles Inc. and I had such a great time scrapping away with this kit.

For today's layout I chose to scrap a photo of my daughter reading one of her just bought books while on vacation in New Orleans last summer. Except for the November Main Kit I also used some of the free November cut files. Here's what I made:


And these are some of the free cut files for November, you can find them HERE (click and scroll down):


I started by selecting the three designs I wanted to cut and selected & traced these on my Cameo:


I cut the flowers from the "Sweet Sentiments" paper and the leaves from the "Parkway" paper:


I placed them haphazardly on my white background cardstock in a way I thought I might want them: 


I chose two colors of spray mist from my stash and used these to add some drops on the white cardstock: 



Next I chose two different papers to mat my photo ("Window Box" and "Porch Swing"):


Once the photo was matted I placed it at the top of the cut flowers and tried out several of the gold foiled words for my title and lots of die-cuts to add to my page:



Once I decided which word I wanted to have for the title and which die-cuts and stickers I wanted to use, I started adhering everything. Except for glue I also used my trusted sewing machine for this.


Once I was done, I decided the top of the layout was still too bare and added a few extra elements: 


After this I considered my layout finished! Here are a few more close-ups: 





Thank you so much for stopping by to take a peek at my design process. Hope you like it!!

Wishing you happy scrapping!

Fresh Start with Zelda!


Hi everyone, today I’m sharing with you my layout Fresh Start using the beautiful October Main Kit, Forever Fall from Simple Stories.


 I started getting grey hairs in high school and have been continuously dyeing my hair ever since not only to cover up the grey but I also liked dyeing my hair in fun colours too. So the amount of time and product I have put into my hair I can only imagine lol. This picture is a recent selfie after coming home from the salon and finally deciding to give up dyeing my hair and to let my salt and pepper hair grow out naturally, which is why I chose the title Fresh Start.


 When I went through all the beautiful papers and elements in this kit I decided to create a dream catcher incorporating the feathers and leaves.
I used an embroidery hoop and a pencil to lightly trace a semi circle around the patterned paper and positioned the dream catcher off the page to the right. I trimmed my white cardstock to 11 ½” square and distressed the edges. With the same paper as the dream catcher I also cut an L shape to use as a border to the left side and bottom of the layout.


 Once I had my dream catcher glued down and had the feathers and leaves positioned I chose a blue shade of DMC floss that coordinates with the patterned paper, using my paper piercing tool I poked holes and stitched around the inside of the dream catcher and down the length of the feathers and leaves.

 I backed my picture with a couple pieces of torn patterned paper added some ephemera and chipboard clusters and some word stickers. I used my We R Memory Keepers typewriter to type out Bye Bye Hair Dye, Hello Salt & Pepper and dated it from my last hair dye that I backed with tissue paper.


To finish off the layout I added some orange sequins to replicate the beads on a dream catcher and splattered some gold Heidi Swapp colour shine.
I hope you like how this layout came together.

lets Get Cozy with Marielle!

Hello !My Creative Scrapbook friends,
Marielle here today sharing a Fall layout I created with the gorgeous October main kit featuring the Forever Fall collection from Simple Stories.

I have loved knitting since I was a teenager and this Summer I knitted a cozy blanket for my re designed den /man cave in our basement.


Let's Get Cozy by Marielle LeBlanc



Step 1
Using leftover yarn from my blanket, I knitted a 6"X 6 "square.
You could also add a piece of felt or fabric as a textured layer :)


Step 2

Adhere 3 to 4 layers of patterned papers from the kit. I used the dark "denim look" paper as my background.


Step 3

For added texture I stitched on a row of buttons to the striped paper. I think these were from Basic Grey... I used to be totally addicted to buttons !!)





Step 4

Adhere knitted sample over layers of patterned papers using your favorite adhesive.


Step 5

Machine stitch knitted piece into place ,if desired.


Step 6
Add matted photo,to the center of knitted piece and add tag and embellishments at the top of your photo.


and finally add tag/stickers/embellishments to lower right of photo. I also added splats of white paint to the dark background.


I do hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial :) I loved creating this project.
Here's a look at this beautiful kit from the store !
Hugs,
Marielle
