Love, love, love with Melinda

Oh my stars!! Can you believe it is already the 27th September?! Where has this last 9 months gone?! I am here today to share my take on the September sketch challenge and I have used the gorgeous My Minds Eye On Trend 2 collection available in store.

Here is a little sneaky at my take on the sketch

And here is the sketch if you have not yet seen it

And here is my page in full!

I really loved the ripped strips on the right hand side so without too much thought I RIPPED 3 strips off 3 papers before I could re-think my decision!! I have used the Elegant, Minted and Graphic 12x12 papers for my strips but my favourite and the HARDEST to rip into was that stunning navy and gold print (Elegant).

I decided to scrap these 5 smaller photos as my birthday story for my 32nd birthday as I knew I had a bigger-ish story to tell to fill the left hand side where all the journalling is on the sketch.

I have used a bunch of the stickers from the MME On Trend 2 sticker sheet including the diamond shaped stickers at the bottom as a banner on the top left hand side. 

Those cacti stickers were simply too adorable to not use and with all that journalling and all the pattern on the right hand side I added a title using a combination of the MME sticker sheet and the "Sentiment" thickers.

There is stitching on the sketch all the way around the page and I am still undecided if I want to add any stitching. I am thinking that if I do go back and add it will be on the strips on the right hand side in gold but for now, my page is done, my story is told and I am happy with the end result.

You do still have a few days left of the month to get your entries in for an awesome gift voucher to spend in the store so head over to the FB group here and load your entries up into the correct albums!

Until next time, happy scrapping!

Project Life spread with Bernii Miller using My Minds Eye - On Trend 2 collection.

Heeellloooo

It's Bernii Miller here with you today to share with you a Project Life spread that I have made using some of the left over pieces from the On Trend 2 collection.. 

It's a project life blog post today for my 2014 album... I thought that I would use up my My Minds Eye "On Trend 2 " collection that I grabbed from the Scrapping Cleary store HERE. 

I have managed to create a few layouts already with this collection..

They are all here on my blog if you wanted a closer look..

So I managed to create this project life spread using what I had left over from this collection.. 

So let me show you what I created..

Here is the right side of my spread where I used up as much of the ephemera from the Mixed Bag pack where you can pick up HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today..

Till next time 

Much love 

Bernii xx

Some People with Melinda

Hello there fellow ScrappingClearly fans! Melinda here with you today sharing my latest layout using the gorgeous MME "My Story" range available in store!

Here is my layout and I really love how it all came together!

I started with that big cut file that I got from Just Nick studio. It's called Some People and I seriously LOVE it! I used a mix of Colour Blast Sprays in Love and Sunset (these 2 are colour spray - flat colour, no shimmer) and also Sunshine, Tangerine Dream and Bling (these 3 are shimmer spray, so, so pretty!!) and the very fancy plastic packaging technique after I applied a coat of gesso and VERY carefully peeled the file off my cutting mat!

Here is a close up of the cut file and I love all the different colours in it. I chose my colours based on the colours in the MME collection florals.

I have a couple of layers behind my photo using the Grandma's Quilt paper and also some of the GORGEOUS vellum from the Maggie Holmes Open Book collection. The background paper is the B side of the BEAUTIFUL Heirloom Rose's paper and thankfully I had a second sheet so I could fussy cut some of those stunning florals!

I added a very subtle detail using a stencil from my stash and some pretty Colour Blast Bling Colour Paste on the area behind the photo.

I've kept the embellishing pretty simple with only a couple of the floral clusters, some of the cute as cork hearts from the Pink Paislee C'est La Vie collection, some of the WRMK Clearly Posh giant enamel dots and a few sequins from the Red/Pink Studio Calico sequin pack.

And of course, it was finished off with a sprinkle of Colour Blast Bling Colour Shimmer spray and also a simple label sticker from the Paper and Acessories kit. I didn't feel like this page needed any journalling (which is unusual for me!) because that title said everything I wanted to say :)

Here are a couple of close ups and I also have a process video you can watch if you'd like to see this page come together you can see that here.

That's it for me for today, please if you have any questions or comments leave them below and I will get back to you ASAP!

Thanks for stopping by and remember to go and create something!
