A MIXTURE OF RANGES LAYOUT

Hello Bloggers

Thank you for popping by, nice to see you again! Have you been getting much scrapbooking done?

The weekly sketch is out, at Scrapbook Challenges. Why not do your take on it and upload it to our gallery so we can see what you have done?

Here is the sketch, a real treat for journal fundies :)


Sketch 333
 
 
 
I didn't do the journalling parts, not so much anyway. A small journal tags was added for the story.
 
Here is my take:
 
 
Paper used is Prima, American Craft cardstock and Daisy D's.
Chipboard pieces by Prima, My Little Bicycle and Kaisercraft.
Flowers are Prima and Petaloo.
Alphabet stickers are Pebbles, American Crafts.
Quote stickers are from Graphic 45.
 

 
All paper was distressed, this created texture and raised the photos. The middle photo is raised even more with the Prima chipboard clock.

 
I really enjoyed this sketch. Am quite happy with the way it came out, such a fun and bright page - which is what the day was. Even though i have used a lot of paper and embellishments the photos are still the main feature on the page.
 
 
Using my scraps from different lines and manufacturers, can create a well balanced layout.
 
Thank you for stopping by, and please upload your layout to our gallery, and you are welcome to leave a comment here.
 
Scrappy love

Tom's Farewell Album

Good day!!

In August Tom Grobben, from the Netherlands, joined the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber as an intern as part of his studies. He joined our team with eagerness, and fitted right in.

After 5 months with us, we have so enjoyed the time with Tom. He left for Netherlands this week and back to university and his life. But Tom certainly left a piece of himself in Nelson Mandela Bay!

This is a farewell gift i made for him. A scrapbook album made from paper bags.

Chipboard title from Celebra8


I made tags for each staff member, with their photo on and they all wrote a message for him.


Each photo is dry brushed with paint, as well as the edges of the bags.
 

Each page is adorned with photos, journalling (or place for him to journal).
 


 
 A Pocket hold some more tags.
 


Tom really liked his present and I hope that he will look at it for many years to come, when he remembers his fantastic trip to South Africa, and especially the people from Nelson Mandela Bay.

Have you made a special gift for someone that you were pleased to give them?

Scrappy love,
Zoe

A Graphic 45 Layout

Good morning Scrappers

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend, did you manage to get some scrapbooking done?

The new sketch at Scrapbook Challenges is up. Please take part in this week's sketch, and be sure to post your layout to our gallery.

Here is the sketch 331:


And here is my take on it:

The gorgeous 'A Ladies Diary' range from Graphic 45. I used 6 sheets of paper, for lots of layering as well as the chipboard pieces from the same range.
I traced the doilies onto the paper and created printed doilies.
 



I enjoyed this sketch! Even though i have used this range before, i never grow tired of Graphic 45. I just love the vintage feel and awesome colours of the papers.

Hope to see your layout in the gallery.

Scrappy love
