The Good Life | Unforgettable Collection | Guest Designer Danni Visser

Hi everyone! My name is Danni, and I’m so excited to be here today sharing my first layout as guest designer using the exquisite new Unforgettable collection. For those of you that don’t know me, I have both a son and a daughter that I love to scrap, and while I was immediately drawn to the feminine floral elements, for my first layout I really wanted to highlight the versatility of this collection by creating a layout for my boy.

I’m using a beach photo for this layout, so I began by tearing large sections of the 12×12 papers to create a bit of a beachy scene, using Natural Beauty, Garland and Story Teller for the sky. I tore Garland in small sections to create a ‘wavy’ effect. For some more waves I cut some wavy shapes on my Silhouette, inked the edges with blue ink and machine-stitched them down using some wavy and squiggly lines. I wanted this to feel natural and organic, so I wasn’t trying to make the stitching perfect.

Next, I mixed some coarse texture gel with gold acrylic paint to create a really fun sandy texture and scraped that onto the page in different places along my ‘boardwalk’. I really love the fun texture this provides! To finish off my background I used some turquoise, gold and white liquid inks to splatter all around the page.

I broke into the 6×8 paper stack next, using the black and white type paper and a thin border of the peach floral to add a bit of colour. I popped my photo up on foam to create some dimension, then added my title using the gorgeous foam title stickers.

I went to town with embellishing, using a combination of the embellishment pack, accessory stickers, clear stickers and a flair button, plus a couple of the adorable hearts from the foam titles stickers to create three clusters around my page. I popped a few of the embellishments up on foam to create some visual interest. I wanted another pop of the peach colour, so I hand cut some starfish from the peach paper and added some dots with a white gel pen, then added one to each embellishment cluster.

To finish of the layout, I added my date on a label sticker below the title, journaled below the title with my black gel pen and added a sprinkle of the enamel dots to each embellishment cluster.

I’m in love with this finished page! I really hope you enjoyed joining me today, I can’t wait to create some more beautiful pages using this incredible collection.

Hi there crafty friends, Anita here with you today sharing a layout using the new beautiful Unforgettable collection!! ..I was so excited to play with this collection … so for my layout I wanted to scrap this photo of my 2 daughters happy together taking selfie’s .. I also wanted to create a 12×12 layout using the 6×8 paper pad to show you that it can easily be done

I started with white cardstock and using my silhouette cameo to cut out a few cut files created by Paige Evans I started with the quilt heart I cut it out in the centre of the white cardstock then I cut out the world Sisters and backed both cut files with pattern papers from the unforgettable 6×8 paper pad

I then matted my photo on papers from the 6×8 paper pad using 3 different patterns and a bit of vellum in the layers then using some double sided foam tape I added it to the back of the photo and to the back of the word cut file to add more dimension so it would pop off the background

Next using the unforgettable ephemera I started adding lots of flowers around the photo and the word cut file

To add more colour as I chose a more muted colours from the pattern papers

Check out my process video here

At the top and bottom of my white cardstock I decided I needed a little more colour I so I tore a little bit away and backed it with floral pattern paper from the 6×8 and clusters of flowers from the ephemera

And to finish off my layout with a few enamel dots and clear stickers

I hope I’ve inspired you to create a layout using the 6×8 paper pad

Happy crafting..xx

Hello everyone!

Mandy here with you today, and I’m super excited to be sharing my first layout using the brand new Unforgettable collection! I’m totally loving everything about this new collection, especially those gorgeous colours and the stunning florals! I decided to scrapbook some candid photos of my youngest daughter Eleanor on this layout. I just love the way they capture her joyful and carefree personality, and I think this collection was perfect for documenting this happy memory.

I started my layout off by trimming about half an inch off the top and bottom edges of my white cardstock background, and I then tucked a strip of the Pretty Bits patterned paper under each of those edges. Next I chose four papers from the 6×8 Paper Stack and I layered them together to create a matt for my photos to sit on. I didn’t add adhesive all the way to the edges of the patterned papers as I wanted to give the layout some more interest by lifting the corners of the papers up a little.

I also used a couple of the patterned papers from the 6×8 Paper Stack to matt my photos with. I adhered the bottom photo using craft foam to give it some extra dimension.

There are so many gorgeous pieces in the die cut ephemera pack, and I used a few of these to create an embellishment cluster to the right of the top photo. How pretty are those florals?! You can also see here that I added a flair button to the cluster as well.

To balance out the first cluster, I created another one to the left of the bottom photo. This gives the layout a diagonal flow, drawing the viewer’s eye from the bottom left to the top right. This second cluster includes some more die cut ephemera pieces as well as a sticker from the accessory sticker sheet.

I LOVE the new Foam Title Stickers in this collection, and I couldn’t resist using one of the foam words as the title for my layout. It’s a quick and easy way to add a gorgeous eye-catching title to a page!

I finished the layout off with a sprinkling of enamel dots as well as a few little word stickers.

I love how this page turned out, and I can’t wait to create some more projects using this stunning collection!

Hi everyone!

It’s Sue Plumb here to share my latest design team project with you, and my very first using the brand new ‘Unforgettable’ collection. And OMG…is this one gorgeous range or what?! I was so excited to sit down and create with this one – so many gorgeous pieces I hardly knew where to start! But once I did, boy was this layout easy to create; it was one of those that just “fell onto the page”. (Don’t you love it when that happens?)

I designed this layout to document some fun candid photos of my siblings and I that were taken a couple of weeks ago at my older sister’s birthday party. You’ve gotta love candid shots sometimes – we were all having such a great time singing and dancing together we didn’t notice the photographer snapping away at us.

So I began my page with my three photos and a sheet of white cardstock. The first item I reached for was the 6×8″ Paper Stack. You may recall that previous collections have had a paper pad, not a stack. This is a new addition to the product range, and I have to say, I MUCH prefer the stack to a pad. It made it so much easier to pull pieces out to shuffle around!

I chose three patterns from the stack that I thought would work well together – the watercolour floral print (from the Glorious paper; the monochromatic floral print from the Lacewing paper; and the hot pink pattern from the Unscripted paper.) I cut and punched a variety of circles from the papers and arranged them so they were cascading down the right side of my page.

I then placed my three photos on the page, layering the two smaller ones near the top, and the slightly larger feature photo near the bottom. I made sure I had left enough space between them for my layout title, which I had chosen from the new Foam Title Stickers. One of the best thing about these stickers? They come on a clear backing sheet! This makes it easy to move the titles around to different spots to see how they will look before you commit to placement. Once I found the right spot, I stuck it down; adding a small heart at the end of the word.

With my title in place I then set about embellishing my page. Below the title I added the sticker photo stories from the Accessory Sticker sheet; andin the smaller circle to the right, a camera sticker from the Clear Sticker sheet.

To balance out the title cluster, I then added a a large die cut flower and the little moments arrow (both from the Die Cut Ephemera pack) alongside the photo at the top of my page. I also added one of the watercolour brush marks Clear Stickers nearby.

Above my top photo, and in keeping with my circular theme, I added the snap shots flair from the Flair Buttons pack. To the right of that same photo I tucked in a small die cut flower, then added a gorgeous butterfly clear sticker.

I added another tiny die cut flower and a heart clear sticker near my feature photo; then wrote my journalling onto a tag from the ephemera pack. I added a small piece of twine to it before tucking it in behind my photo.

To finish off I added tiny black splatters around my page.

Thanks for stopping by so I could share this with you. I can’t wait to create some more with the ‘Unforgettable’ collection which should be hitting the shelves of a store near you soon. If you have a chance to get your hands on it, I highly recommend you do – you will love all the new additions to the product line up.

Until next time, happy scrapping!
