{Wedding Day Love}

Hello to everyone welcome to another week of inspiration here @ Scrappingclearly.....

Today I am sharing a layout I created to celebrate my niece's Wedding Day...

There are always so many gorgeous photos taken on wedding days so I decided 

to just use a small, up close and personal shot which I love.

I have chosen a basic background paper which is a little grungy,

I added some Lemon Zest Dylusions randomly on the background,

some squeezed orange splatters, and

some texture stamps using black ink to give an even grungier look.

Using some scrap bubble wrap I sprayed with gold spray paint to give an awesome dimensional background, which created loads of texture. I scrunched it up a little and adhered to the background paper. 

I began to layer my large array of embellishments,

starting with a chipboard scroll (which I left raw).

I then placed my photo, to which I adhered a Gold chipboard

Kodak lens frame, on top of the scroll.

 I placed all my gorgeous flowers to the right of the frame.

I used an assortment of paper and fabric flowers.

I also added some to the gold bubble wrap in the top left corner.

I adhered two paper black and white drinking straws under the frame, and a black doily folded in half to balance out the layout.

For more texture I added some black cotton and a Heidi Swapp Gold

'Happy' title, which I cut from Heidi's Dies. 

I absolutely love to use embellishments of all sorts including hair clips and pieces of jewellery

which I can pick up at the cheap jewellery stores and thrift shops for an absolute bargain.

You can see I have layered two hair clips and a gorgeous metal wing with stones.

I wanted to keep a lot of white space on my layout so clustered

and adhered some more random flowers and jewellery pieces onto the layout,

along with some cotton to tie the layout together, and some old book paper.

To finish the layout off I have journaled in the bottom corner, only small (but the details are there), and gave the layout a border with a black Fude ball.

Here is a list of suitable products that can be purchased over @ the Scrappingclearly store.

Happy Boy layout by Tania

Hello again Scrappingclearly fans! I am feeling a bit proud of myself!!! Why you all ask??? Well, I scrapped a boy layout...yay!!! Now, it's not that I've never done it before, I have a very beautiful scrapworthy 10 yr old boy!!! I just don't seem to find it as easy as scrapping all the pretty stuff for a girl layout! Soooo, when my amazing Design Team kit arrived from Kylie, I challenged myself to pick out some bits first up and scrap a male layout!!! So, I'm feeling happy with my "HAPPY BOY" layout!!!! I used the gorgeous papers from Crate Paper- Maggie holmes, BLOOM collection! Gosh so many to choose from. They are all double sided, so went with the blues and greens and black and white!

On my cardstock I used some Heidi Swapp colorshine in navy, through a Heidi Swapp stencil, and flicked a few drops randomly on there too. I layered my papers and needed something a little brighter for my photo mat, so I found a piece of Teresa Collins Life Emporium paper which was perfect! (and it's on special I might add!) The Moments paper from the BLOOM collection was perfect to add a little typewriter font randomly around my layout.

There are some gorgeous washi tape stickers in the BLOOM collection, I made a small banner and used one to anchor part of my title! (Which by the way is made up of a die cut, Heidi Swapp word and some chipboard alphas from We R Memory Keepers.

Finally, I think the little rubber shapes from the BLOOM collection are adorable, (love you & happy), I have a few more in girly colours to play with, so watch this space!!!!

Thanks for looking, you never know you might just see some more boyish layouts from me soon!!!
