Wedding Cake Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!   It’s that time of the month again when I share what I created for Team Lou over at Southern Girls Challenge with the theme anything goes.  I created this wedding cake scrapbook layout with one of the collections I was trying to kill, and it matches my Cutie Cousins page I made for the challenge last month.

This is another idea my friend Khristina had for using 2×2 squares and was again perfect for using up a 6×6 or when all you have is scraps.  I did this one on black paper so it wouldn’t be exactly like my other layout, but then it also matches my hubbies suit.

As I was working on these I can’t believe that my wedding album isn’t finished.  We’ll be married 15 years next week.  I think my problem is I started it so many years ago and some of those layouts make me cringe and then many of my photos are printed 5×7.  I really don’t scrap anything that large anymore so it’s slow going getting this done.

Well, I’m off to keep working on my organization goals for the month, getting my cart organized and then I have another project planned that I can’t wait to share with you. Let me know what you’re up to in the comments below.  Until next time…..stay crafty!

Wedding Party Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!  Welcome back to another Southern Girls Challenge reveal.  Team Lou was challenged to use tags in their creations this go around…easy peasy right!?  I choose to create a wedding party scrapbook layout with one of the fun photos from our wedding shoot.

I started with paper from Cocoa Vanilla Studio’s More Than Words collection that I received in my second Secret Not Secret Kit club box. Khristina has included three Cocoa Vanilla collections in my boxes and I think they are my top favorite company…EVER!  I haven’t created a layout with their products I haven’t loved.

Wedding photos are very overwhleming to scrap. This wedding party scrapbook layout can be completed in 1 hour and has just the right amount of embellishment

You can see here I created tags from scraps of paper and tucked them under my photo.  I also used my We R Memory Keepers hole reinforcement punch to complete the tag look.  I couldn’t decide on a twine color so right now they are empty.  What color would you vote for?

The photo is a silly one our photographer took where she asked our whole wedding party to jump up and down.  Everyone’s reactions were so funny, and trying to jump in a strapless wedding dress was quite interesting.  Thankfully there were no wardrobe malfunctions…hehe

By the time I was creating this layout I didn’t have much left from my kit so you’ll see how I used the partial sheet of paper with a black piece of cardstock and the punched border to make up the 12×12 size. I also added the white doodle border around the top to tie the white from the bottom in with the solid black on the top.

Some thickers, black splatters and enamel dots let me call this one day and get it done in under an hour.  I’m very happy to be getting these memories documented as we celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary this summer.

Thank you for joining me today and I rambled on, and I hope this has inspired you to create something to join in on the challenge.  As always, love your comments and if you do create something inspired by this…leave me a link so I can come and see.  Until next time….stay crafty!

WEDDING PARTY SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT USING A CUT FILE SUPPLY LIST

Purple Wedding Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!  I’m here today sharing my second layout for Scrap Our Stash.  For the second challenge of the month we needed to blend elements of two sketches, and also add sequins.  I used parts of each sketch to create a primarily purple wedding scrapbook layout.

For reference here are the two sketches:

Both sketches had a long element strip…one on the left side and one in the middle. I took that idea and used a strip of paper along the right hand side and added a border to it since the paper I had left didn’t see quite wide enough once I placed my photo down.

Both sketches also had a relatively small title.  Since this was a wedding photo it didn’t need a big explanation so I used the small title idea and used just a single chipboard word from the collection I was working with.

The second sketch also had heart as the main embellishments.  I used some chipboard hearts, metal hearts and two patterned papers that had hearts in them.  You can also see some of my added sequins in this photo.  Have I shared with you before that I found a new way to attach my sequins that works so much better than liquid glue!?  Zots for bling are so much easier to work with for things this small, and you never have any dried glue showing.

Last but not least I saw that both sketches had a banner someone in there. To use this portion of the sketches I added a patterned paper banner under my photo.  I also added some chipboard banner words at the top to bring the concept into another area of my layout.

So how do you think I did combining the sketches?  Can you see the originals in there anywhere?  Be sure to head over to Scrap Our Stash and see what the other design team members created, and I can’t wait to see your creations as well.  Until next time…Stay crafty!

Bride Wedding Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!  It’s time for another reveal with Southern Girls Challenge.  This round that challenge is the easiest….ANYTHING GOES!!!!  I decided to continue with my sister’s wedding photos and created a bride wedding scrapbook layout.

Bride Wedding Scrapbook Layout Supply List

This layout is a bit on the cheeky side.  The story is that my sister is a coffee addict.  Her friends stopped that morning, got her a cup of Starbucks, and had it labeled bride instead of her name.  I was paranoid that she was going to spill it on her dress!

Coming up with ideas for wedding layouts can get repetitive. This bride focused wedding scrapbook layout has both style and bit of fun. It is also easily re-created with minimal supplies.

Since I used all patterned paper on this layout I went very simple with my embellishments. I made the cluster in the upper left with a circle punch, heart punch, a snarky phrase and two tiny hearts.  The wood veneer in the lower right were colored with gelatos and paired with a piece cut from the patterned paper.  With the colored foam title and some splatters it’s enough to be interesting, but not overwhelming.

I would be remiss if I also didn’t mention the sketch book I used as my starting point.  If you haven’t seen the first sketch book from Heather’s Crafty Life you need to go check it out.  She gives you 50 sketches for just $5.  You really can’t go wrong.

If you’re still with me…thank you for reading it all.  I hope you’ll pop over to the challenge and share you creations with us.  As always please leave me a link here as well so I can make sure to check our your work.  I’ll be back soon with more layouts, and more wedding inspiration.  Until next time…stay crafty!

Wedding Scrapbook Layout – Mixed Media

Hi crafty friends!  Thanks for joining me here today and I share my wedding scrapbook layout for the challenge over at Southern Girls Challenge.  Team Lou’s challenge this time was to use some sort of circle embellishments.

I am working with three photos from my sister’s wedding and a VERY old 2015 My Creative Scrapbook Kit.  The kit featured items from Doodlebug’s Sweet Things Collection*, and I created two other layouts already with this kit….We Belong Together  and Love.  All of these layouts are in the same album so I wanted this one to have a different feel, and decided to try some mixed media.

The paper was primed first with Liquitex Gesso* before adding Heidi Swapp Pink Color Shine* using the packaging technique.  Mixed media isn’t something that I normally do, but it was surprisingly easy. I am also pleasantly surprised with the way it turned out.

After the mixed media dried I used a sketch from Paper Issues to help me get started on my paper layers.  I tried to use papers that added interest, but made the photos pop.  Many of the papers were far to busy or had cutesy animals on them so more neutral patterns were better.

What is also unique about this wedding layout is there are three photos.  To create make shift flip flaps I used Simple Stories 6×8 pocket protectors cut in half.  When you lift the first photo to the left it reveals another. Then you lift that to the right and voila…one more.  The flip flaps I ordered came the day after this layout was finished. Of course!

To meet the Southern Girls embellishment challenge I used two wooden buttons with hearts in the upper right and lower left.  I also wanted to enter the Lasting Memories challenge to use the word happy hence the sticker in the lower left.  Some matching hearts and additional splatters and I called it done.

I appreciate you reading my rambling and checking out what I create.  You can watch this layout being created on my youtube channel. Until next time!
