Layout Class

Good Morning everyone! Are we all looking forward to a wet weekend? Why not stay inside and do some scrapping instead of venturing out then!! Today is a layout class that shouldn't take you too long to do, ideal for doing when you have an hour or two spare :) So, todays class is an 8.5 x 11 layout. This however can be interpreted into a 12x12 or 8x8 layout or whichever size you scrap in if you wish. Supplies list – Bazzill Cardstock – Yam Bazzill Cardstock - Chocolate Crate Paper – Crush, Longboard Crate paper Crush Tag Pressed Petals Chip Chatter American Crafts Felt Flowers 3 brads Chalk Ink pad, Dark Brown I cut my Yam Cardstock to size and inked the edges. Then cut the Crate paper to 7x9 inches, inked and attached to the cardstock slightly off centre, leaving a bigger gap at the top. I used a 6x4 photo and also one slightly smaller 5x3.75 inches. I sandpapered the edges as it makes them stand out a bit more and then matted them on the Chocolate cardstock. I then adhered my photos, one to the left and the other to the right, overlapping near the bottom. I sanded the edge of the chip chatter letters ‘PARK’ and attached these to the top just off centre. The word ‘LIFE’ was printed onto an off cut of blue paper that matched the flowers and stripes in the paper using the font 2 peas weathervane which you can download here. I used the Crush tag to write my journaling on but wanted it as more of a little card so the little tag hole I kept in and taped across the back so it didn’t fall out. I attached the card on a slant to give the layout a quirkier feel. Then I simply attached the 3 flowers with the brads and cut a piece of the left over cardstock that I wrote the date on and attached to the bottom. A really simple layout that shouldn’t take too long to do. So while the weather is wet, SCRAP! I hope you’ve enjoyed it. If you do decide to have a go, please don’t forget to send us a link to your layout.

Great class page and it's fab to see it in 8.5x11 instead of 12x12 for a change. Thanks! :D

That is a great LO which I will definitely refer back to when I'm in a scrapping mood
