Winter | Rebecca Bee | Simple Stories | Simple Vintage Flannel Season

Hi everyone! Rebecca Bee here again to share another layout I made inspired by the colder weather we have been having- has anyone been lucky enough to have a flurry of snow yet? None here yet! But I have been documenting some older snow day photos using the Simple Vintage Flannel Season collection. 

For this layout I have created a snowy landscape using the Frosted Fun paper cut into snowy hills and layered to create this hilltop snow scene. 

I have added a white hand stitched frame around the scene on Bazzill cardstock to help differentiate the scene from the white background cardstock. I also added some distressing to the edges of the hills as this helped to add to the texture of snow

Finally I have added some of the tag elements cut apart paper as matting layers under my two photos and I had to add these beautiful deers from the elements stickers in the foreground of my snowy scene. 

Hope you keep yourselves warm as the temperature drops and you manage some cosy time at home with some scrapbooking!

Arden Creative Studio - Vintage Makers - Let's Go!

Hi guys,

Claire here sharing a new 12x12 scrapbook page made with the Vintage Makers collection from Arden Creative Studio. 

I really love this collection. It's generic in theme so can be easily used to accommodate any story you want to tell! For this layout, I'm making an autumnal page, inspired by a quilting design I saw on Pinterest.

I selected 4 patterned papers, using both the Essentials and Foundations Paper Packs and cut 2"x2" squares, positioning them in my page to create the basic shape of the leaf. I cut some of the squares in half to make triangles that create the points of the leaf. 

Once the pieces were loosely in place, I drew around the outside lightly before removing all the squares to add mixed media. 

I added ink with a brayer in three different Distress Oxide colours and black splatters with a wet paintbrush. 

Next, I adhered the patterned paper squares on foam and drew around the leaf with black Sharpie, also drawing in a stalk. 

I resized my photos to 2" squares and adhered them into the shape. 

I used laser cut leaves and tickets to embellish, building small clusters to bring the photos to life.

For my title, I raided my thicker stash to find one that matched the colours in the collection. If you're looking for more, the Papermaze Big Autumn Sale has just launched, so now's a great time to stock up on alphas and grab yourself a bargain! 

I hope you've enjoyed this layout and you'll also find some inspiration in quilting designs. 

Check out the full Vintage Makers collection here. 

I'll be back in a few weeks with another layout with this collection. 

Happy scrapping!

P13 There is No Planet B - Below Stairs

Hello, Karen here again and today I'm sharing my third and final project using There is No Planet B from P13. I've really loved using this beautiful collection. P13 isn't a brand I've ever worked with before but I'm really happy with the projects I've created and I'd certainly like to work with a P13 collection again. 

For my layout today I have used three photos taken on a visit to a stately home in Norfolk.

I knew I wanted to create a scene for the background of this layout and so I downloaded from the internet a free colouring page of a staircase. The colouring page was then used to paper-piece the background the old fashioned way using scraps of papers #4 & #5 from the collection as well as some kraft coloured Bazzill cardstock.

I printed sections of the colouring page onto the papers and cardstock and then fussy cut them out before layering them onto some white cardstock. The finished scene was then matted onto Black Bazzill cardstock leaving a border round the outside.

My three photos were double matted onto white and black cardtock and then added to the layout. These were specifically placed so that two of the photos were below the stairs.

Images were fussy cut from paper #7 and placed near the bottom of the layout either side of one of the photos.

I die cut my title lettering from some black self-adhesive fun foam and stuck the letters above and below the top photo.

Finally, I printed my journalling onto cardstock strips using the computer and put these in the top left corner of the layout.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope this layout has given you some inspiration for using the There is No Planet B collection and also inspired you to get out some of those photos taken on day trips and put them on a scrapbook page.

I'll be back soon but until then Take Care.
