Ideas Using Patterned Papers

 Hello, Lisa here today.

I'm playing with the most beautiful patterned papers today.

It's a Paige Evans collection by American Crafts.

I wanted to do something special with them.

I ended up creating this.

You can watch this video of my creating this page here.

 It's in my journal that I use for UK day trips.

To start with I took this stunning paper here & folded it over to create an extra page.

You can see this new page on the right.

On the left here I created a pocket.

It's a torn strip from another paper and I've stuck down 3 sides, leaving the top free so I can slide in pieces.

 I love how this enables me to add lots of extra photos and journaling.

And I cut out quite a few pieces from this paper here to decorate.

I created my own postcards from more of the papers to slide in to the pocket.

 I love the pack of journaling ephemera to match here. 

I used quite a few of these pieces.

And I embellished with these fun stickers from Rosie's Studio.

And then finally to finish I wanted to create a fun title.

I used some white Doodlebug Alpha stickers here. 

And coloured them in pink to match.

Them to attach them so they look like they are floating, I took some clear packaging which I cut down to size. Stuck the packaging on to the edge of the paper and stuck the alphas to that and then stapled it all in place.

This is my favourite part of the whole page.

I hope you like my ideas today and I hope you'll enjoy the video.

Thanks

Lisa x
