Grateful | These Days | Raquel Bowman

Raquel Bowman 19/08/2021

Hey everyone, it’s Raquel here today sharing a new layout featuring the new and amazing These Days collection. I was really inspired by the icons and elements in this collection and had a similar layout idea rolling around in my head since I received it. I had wanted to create a layout with a house design, and include the sentiment and quote “home is whenever I’m with you”.

Here is the layout I created:

The subject of this photo is hubby and I from our wedding back in 2011. The warm tones in the photo suited this colour palette beautifully. The main design of the page was a house cut file. To create this cut file I actually just found a house icon via google and traced that in my cutting machine software. This was a quick and easy way to customise my layout to suit the design I had in my mind.

The title ‘grateful’ was from the foam stickers. I love the bold and striking contrast the black has against the woodgrain paper and white of the cut file. The ‘together is the best place to be’ is from the accessory sticker sheet.

At the left and right sides of the house there was shrubbery style shape. I decided to use that as a base for embellishing and adding floral elements to the house – in a way to replicate garden beds out the front. I used a combination of the regular ephemera and the floral ephemera packs. I adhered these in a variety of depths. To finish this embellishment cluster below I added some puffy stickers, a clear sticker paint swipe and a ‘love you so much’ tiny word sticker.

The cluster to the left of the house was completed much the same using the same ephemera packs and puffy stickers. Again, using a variety of dimensions to adhere through the use of tapes and foam adhesives.

I wanted to add a smaller detail to the top left of the page so I tore the white background, and added a pop of the woodgrain under it to add another touch of that pattern. Machine stitching the edges of the layout helped to tie all this in together.

The ‘home is whenever I am with you’ is one of my favourite elements on this layout. I love that it mimics a photo frame and is the ideal and perfectly worded sub heading.

The whole house design was adhered to the page with a adhesive foam sheet. This gives enough shadow to create interest but also allows me to layer under and around it.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope you have been inspired by my layout today!

Take care

Sweet | Legendary Collection | Raquel Bowman

Raquel Bowman 18/01/2021

Hey everyone. It’s Raquel here with a new layout to share with you. For today’s layout share I decided to use the Legendary collection to scrapbook a photo of my son and our puppy together.

Here is the layout that I created:

This layout is documenting Jack and our gorgeous puppy Lola. I printed the photo black and white and used a circle die to cut it in a circular shape. I then used a maths compass to draw a slightly larger circle shape – which acts as a photo Matt.

I then added a few small embellishments to the left of the photo – to add interest.

This layout features a cut file from Cut to You – I cut the file on patterned paper. I also matted the entire layout in a patterned paper. These colours in the paper helped me to choose appropriate embellishments and colours to include.

I embellished the layout with stars from the ephemera pack and also fussy cut stars.

To finish those clusters of stars I added a small splattering of Navy colour shine.

As always I added my typewritten journaling and adhered below the photo.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today, I hope this layout has inspired you.

Star of the Week | Legendary Collection | Michelle Stokes

Michelle Stokes 10/07/2020

Hey friends its Michelle back here today with a new layout share featuring the awesome Legendary Collection. I was so inspired by our recent Stars and Stripes theme that I couldn’t help but use that as the base for this layout. Stars are the perfect embellishment for scrapping a layout of Leila’s ‘Star of the Week’ photo from last year.

I chose a fun new cut-file design from CUT to YOU that features 3 different star designs and resized them to create different focus points for the layout. I cut all 3 designs out on white cardstock and backed the larger design using a mix of different patterns and colours to compliment the stars within the collection. Papers used – ALL STAR, EPIC TALES, EXPLORER, OFF BEAT, TOTAL LEGEND and WILD ONE.

I adhered the star to the left side of the layout using foam sheeting to raise it off the background paper (OUTDOORS TYPE) and added the super cute photo of Leila to the left backed with a piece of BRAVE HEART and a sticker tab from the Accessory Sticker sheet.

I created the title using a cardstock title piece and alpha stickers from previous collections. LOVE LOVE LOVE those white alphas! There’s a sprinkling of stars, both fussy cut and ephemera, on top of the big star also.

I kept the other 2 star designs open and adhered half of each design to the edges of the layout, creating open clusters and tying all the elements of the layout together. In the top cluster I added the ‘Hey You’ banner sticker from the sticker sheet and a mix of fussy cut and ephemera stars.

In the bottom cluster I added pieces from the ephemera pack, fussy cut and ephemera stars plus a word sticker from the Accessory Sticker sheet. Lastly a splattering of gold colour shine to finish it off.

Well friends that’s all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Michelle xx
