Merry | Rebecca Bee | Echo Park Santa's Christmas Delivery

 

Hello everyone, Rebecca Bee here! Is anyone else starting to feel a little festive? I most certainly am and so I couldn't resist creating using Echo Park's Santa's Christmas Delivery this month to document some festive memories.. 

To create this layout I cut out some of the square cards in the 2x2 Journaling Cards paper, distressed their edges and created some rolled tabs to add some interest and texture above the central photo panel of this layout. My three 2x3" photos are matted into a panel of the Happy Santa paper.

To add some pretty detail to the cardstock background, I have added some star shaped sequins and a small amount of texture paste through a stencil from my stash- similar item here. 

A scattering of stickers from the Element Stickers sheet and some journaling finishes off the layout. I adore using soft pink with traditional Christmas reds and greens, it makes them feel fresher and softer. This soft pink Bazzil cardstock comes from the coordinating Bazzil Matchmaker pack for this collection and suits the collection perfectly 

I finished the layout off by adding some journaling and some tiny doodled stars using my white journaling pen. I'll be back later in the month with another layout using this charming Christmas collection. Until then, have a wonderful Christmas friends!

Travel Junque Photoplay - Time to Explore

 Hi everyone, Rebecca Bee aka scrap_paper_uk here with another layout using the Travel Junque collection! This time I wanted to create a noticeboard style layout that highlighted some of the details in the cut-apart patterned papers- I feel they cry out to be layered!

I created a frame for the background by gutting a piece of Bazzil cardstock in the shade Touch of Pink and adding some foam pads for dimension. I also doodled a thin white border on the frame using a white journaling pen just to add a hint of definition to the frame. I've added a strip of map paper from the Explore paper, adding a notebook punch detail along one side. 

There are so many lovely little details in the papers that look beautiful when fussy cut and layered together. For the details in this layout I have mainly used fussy cut pieces form the Roam and Post Card papers. To create a title, I have fussy cut phrases from the Roam paper.

To add a little bit of texture on the background, I have doodled some crosshatching details on the background cardstock using a white journaling pen, and then layered my photographs on top.

Finally I have threaded some twine through one of the tags from the Explore paper to add to the noticeboard effect. This style of layout looks great with multiple photographs, so I have again documented several photographs from an incredible trip to Scotland. Have you checked out this lovely collection for your UK holidays? The colours and images are perfect!
