FLOWERS:

• Create a Pleated flower out of Your 3cm strip of pattern paper
• Take your strip and score along length at about 3mm intervals
• Fold the paper back and forth to get a Zig Zag effect
• Adhere end pieces together (or staple) and lay flat to create a circle flower.
• Add a scrap of paper behind and tape onto flower to hold it flat.

LAYOUT:

LEFT PAGE:

• Use your one yellow sheet as your background.
• Adhere your tabs to your tags using the brads.  Dark purple goes onto the blue tags and the light purple goes onto the yellow tags.
• Using your two blue and one yellow tag, adhere these to the far right of this page.  Stagger them so they overlap slightly.
• Measure 11cm from right edge of this left page and adhere your dark purple strip with the scalloped edge.
• To the left of this add your Blue Flower strip.
• To the far left of page adhere your light purple strip with the scalloped edge facing left
• You can now adhere your 2 jumbo photo mats to the left of page so that you have about 1.5cm from left edge.
• Add your 3 small photo mats to your tags as per example.
• Add a flower to the top left of layout (after your photo has been stuck to your mat) and use some phrases from your left over sheet and a laser cut to finish it off)
• Divide your corner Laser cut into two pieces and adhere the vertical piece to the right of your jumbo photo mats.

RIGHT PAGE:

• Adhere your 16cm strip of 006 Blue paper to the far left of page (about 0.5cm from edge – the purple pattern piece should face to the top left of page).  Using your ric rac adhere a strip down the left of this strip.
• To the right of this strip adhere your final dark Purple scallop strip so the scallops face to the right.
• Adhere your 14cm x 14cm dark brown cardstock 5.5cm from bottom and 1cm from right edge of page.
• Adhere your 7cm x 8cm dark brown photo mat and your light purple tab to your final Yellow Tag and then adhere this so it faces to the left and is about 3cm from left of page ONTOP of your dark brown mat (tab measurement from left of page)
• Now you can adhere your Dark Blue photo mat ontop of this Dark brown square (refer example so it just covers the right edge of your tag).
• Using your Tabs cut triangles out the bottoms and adhere these to the top right of layout, Stagger the dark blues at the bottom and the light purple ones on the top.  Add your ric rac to finish off the banner strip.

• Using your Laser cuts, adhere the frame to the top left of banner and the remaining piece of your corner Laser cut to the bottom of layout.  Add your final flower to the left of this piece with some more wording that you cut off your Striped paper.

BEACHES Collection

Summer means sunshine, ice-cream and the beach. Our Beaches Collection was inspired by warm sea sand, bright blue sea, loads of sunshine and plenty of relaxation. The six papers will be beautiful to use for fun seaside photos of children and equally so for more dreamy sophisticated captures of scenery or portraits.

The collection includes a page you can cut up to make a bunting, tags and decorative strips - the only limit to the Beaches Collection is your creativity and imagination.

This is the fantastic range of diecuts that match this range of papers:

Remember to ask your local Scrapbook store to order directly from Lorna at Scrap Collections

FIRST LOVE - Class Note - Hippy Chick

Layout and Instructions by Michele Craig

LAYOUT – LEFT HAND SIDE

·         Place your blue 30cm strip with purple hearts 0.5mm from the top of the page.

·         Place your yellow 30cm strip with purple hearts 0.5mm from the bottom of the page.

·         Place your pattern 001 – (18.5cm x 26cm) 2mm from the bottom of the strip on the top page and right on the edge of the right hand side.

·         Place your 30cm yellow strip with purple hearts and flowers underneath this strip edge to edge of your background cardstock.

·         Place your 7cm x 26cm pattern underneath this.

·         Matt your 3 pattern squares onto your cardstock squares

·         The left over 3 cardstock squares must have foam core underneath and these will have your photos on.

·         Place your 6 squares down as shown on the photo.

·         Place your 3cm x 14cm pattern strip vertically down centred from the left hand side and the pattern.

LAYOUT – RIGHT HAND SIDE

·         Place your 2 – 10cm x 15cm portrait photos on the very left hand edge of the page. I sanded my photos.

·         Place your pattern 004 (18cm x 30cm) on the very right hand side of the page.

·         Your wording strip must have foam core behind it and will cover the left over space in between the photos and the pattern piece.

·         Place your cardstock (10.5cm x 26.5) 3cm from the bottom on your pattern piece side.

·         Then place down your 4cm pattern piece then your 12,5cm and then your 7cm pattern piece.

·         Place your lazer heart frame with photo on the blue section of the pattern paper and centre top and bottom.

EMBELLISHMENTS

·         I used the 3 heart lazer cut and put photos behind each heart.

·         I also used a heart lazer cut on the blue pattern to highlight the heart on the paper.

·         I used stickles on my hearts to give an extra effect.
