How Long Does It Take To Scrap A Page?

Hello to all our crafty Scrapping Clearly readers. 

 I feel like its been ages since I shared a project here. 

I received a lovely box of Scrapping Clearly products last week and having new goodies to scrap with certainly was a boost to my lagging wintery Mojo. 

I managed to put together this page in just over an hour which for me is very quick!

Sometimes it can take several hours!

Not sure if its because I haven't created in a while or the new products I had to scrap with, I wonder? 

What's the average length of time it takes to create a page for you? 

I'd love to know.

The navy blue in the Urban Market collection by Teresa Collins appealed to me so I printed off a few photos I thought would match and away I went. 

I find navy blue isn't a super popular colour in the world of scrapping papers so when I come across it 

I enjoy creating pages with it. 

That Jack Kerouac quote jumped out at me from the Chipboard pack and I knew I wanted to use it so I added it to my three photos and the basic horizontal design of my page came together quickly.

Once I had my design in place I realised I probably wasn't going to used any of the papers from the 6x6 paper pad. However I needed something on the background and decided to add some splotches of Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Seafoam and Teal.

In my box of goodies from Scrapping Clearly I also received some Heidi Swapp Color Pop Window Frames. This lovely pop of yellow around one of my photos gave the page a great focal point.

I used more of the chipboard pieces to underline my photo's and also created a little banner along with some of the Urban Market Decorative Stickers.

Whoops, I forgot to take a picture of it, but I also added some of the Decorative Stickers and a chipboard shape at the bottom of my page to finish off my visual triangle of clusters. 

  

Some typed journalling and messy cotton finished off my page and I was very happy with this quick little burst of creative time. Might try it again tomorrow! 

Wish me luck.

Leave a comment and let me know your usual scrap-a-page time.

Thanks for stopping by today, happy crafting.

Cheers,

Go Big or Go Home - Scrapbooking Page

Hello Scrapping Clearly Fans.

This past month I have been creating with the delightful Maggie Holmes Crate Paper Gather and Chasing Dreams collections, you can see what I've created Here and Here.

Today I'm sharing a page with oversized banners.
Yep its go big or go home with this page, large titles and even larger banners. Funnily enough, I was inspired by these sweet little Mini Tassels in the Crate Paper Gather collection and the large script words in the Thicker Accents pack also from the Gather Range. 

Do you use oversized elements on your page?

I'm not one for large titles on my pages or any titles at all really but I was drawn to the large script words in the Thicker Accents pack, and because of their size I thought they should be coupled with something equally large, hence I used the patterned papers from Gather and Chasing Dreams to create 3 large banners and layered them under my photograph.

Thanks so much for stopping by the Scrapping Clearly blog,

Happy Crafting
