Two very different layouts!!

I have just completed these two very different layouts from the one range of papers.  The first one is very bright with many colours, whereas the second one is quite subdued, with  monotone colours.  They have both been created using mainly the Bubblegum Hills range from Kaisercraft, with some additions on the "just Perfect" LO from LYB and Crate Paper.  It just shows how you may think that one range is not for you but quite often you can select one element from a range and have a completey different LO to what you might have thought!

Banner Layout completed

I have finished my layout with banners.  It took a little longer than I first thought because I kept changing what I wanted in the LO.  Originally I thought that I would do some stamping but none of the stamps that I had really fitted.  I then went through my stash and found some die cuts that were the right colours and I thought that they would work in place of the stamping.  I wanted something on the page that resembled fireworks so I found some chipboard stars and scrolls and arrows so altered these with ink and papers to put on the page. I still felt that the page needed something else so I made a little whirly thing (what are they called????) to go on the bottom corner of the page.  On to the next layout......

Happy scrapping,

Banners!!!!

I am loving banners at the moment and they do seem to be everywhere.  I have been wanting to use a banner in a layout for a little while and when I was going through some photos the other day I found some of my eldest boy at the local show.  I thought these would be great to add a banner to.  I am using papers from the Celebration range from American Crafts.One of  the pages from this range has stars on it so I have cut some of these out to make the banner, to give a little twist to the traditional banner.  Will post layout when I have finished it, it is a bit of a work in progress at the moment as I keep thinking of things to add to it, including some stamping, so who knows when it will be truly completed????

Layout 2

Here is the second layout from the LYB Elizabeth Park range.  For this layout "Beach Babe" I used the papers Spring Song;  FlutterBy; Teal dots; and Fuchsia flowerdot  for alphas (cut from cricut machine).  I also used the LYB "Elizabeth Park" Tear out ticket book and LYB Fabric favourites. 

The fabric favourites really help the layout pop.  Love them!!! Here is a close up of some of them.
