ScrapDreamie

Morag created this beautifully gentle layout of her daughter using papers from Daisy D's Chloe Marie range.  The Chloe Marie collection is a bouquet of lovely soft pinks, fresh yellows and greens, an almost turquoise blue, white and navy.  It also has coordinating journaling tags, stickers, alphas, die cuts and embellishments which are perfect for adding the finishing touch to your page.

Morags Tip for Today : Cutting out details from a patterned paper is a great way of ensuring your embellishments match perfectly.  Layering these with items that you do have such as flowers, stamped images or stitching really adds depth to a layout.

Back to Nature

Ann used a page from the Chatterbox Botanico mini book and chipboard elements from the Botanico range to create this fun layout capturing the memories she shared with a friend at the recent Scrapagogo retreat!

Anns Tip for Today: Recycle corrugated cardboard to create your own embellishments for layouts by inking it up and tearing to the desired shape.

Recently two members of our much loved Dream Team had bereavements in their family, we would just like to take the time to send them our love and condolences.  Our thoughts are with you both.

So darn KI Cute!

Carrin created this funky little project using the KI Love Elsie Forrest Collection. “I so love these chipboard frames!! They make a perfect embellishment on my scraproom wall - a total mess of bright colours and these cute, cute Love Elsie frames”.

Carrins Tip for Today: to add a little something to your chipboard frame tie ribbon alongside one side of the frame (or use flowers/other embellishments) , to give your project extra dimension and texture.

Ooh LaLa ...

This accordion project Francine created using the KI La Di Dah collection would be a perfect gift for someone to have on their desk at work or home. “This is a photo of my Mum in the seventies and the paper with all the words seemed to express many of the sentiments from that time.” To make the accordion shape Francine cut a piece of patterned paper 6”x12” and folded it into thirds, each panel measures 4”x6” (the size of the photo). Francine used glitter glue to add some sparkle to the papers and embellishments.

Francines Tip for today : To create the swirls - doodle the desired design first with a pencil, and then follow the pencil lines with the glitter glue.

If you go down to the woods today …

… be sure to take a whole bunch of photographs to scrap using KI’s Love Elsie Forrest collection!  Carrin created this fantastically textured layout using elements from the Forest range using the fabric paper as the background and Forrest ribbon as a photo matt, bending the ribbon at each edge to add a little depth to the background.  Determined to use the chipboard frame Carrin cut across it diagonally in order for it to fit around her large photograph.

Carrins Tip for Today: add your journaling directly onto your photograph. "I deliberately left a white space at the top and bottom of my image during printing so it could be used it for my journaling."

Barbe-a-Papa

Francine used the KI Memories La Di Dah range of paper and embellishments to create this bright whimsical page. “I love seeing the cotton candy man in the city and was really happy to get this photo!” Francine added glitter glue to the felt embellishments to give them the cotton candy effect and put a little sparkle on her layout.

Francines Tip for Today: Use your embellishments to mimic elements in your photograph.  In this example Francine has added the hearts at the top to look as though there are extra balloons floating off the page.

Bloom'ing KI Cute!

These fabulously fresh Bloom papers from KI Memories capture the colours of summer just perfectly.  The Bloom collection has a  range of fantastic coordinating embellishments including the delicious "softies" Debbie has used on this layout of her youngest daughter.

Debbies Tip for Today:  Using a black or white journaling pen "doodle" round the edge of your embellishments and alphas to add definition to your page and make the elements POP.

We've got a whole lot of layering going on ....

To create this layout of her gorgeous wee man, Heather layered many of the tags and die cuts from the Piggy Tales Mulan collection, all on and around the photograph which is sitting on a mount board frame.

Heathers Tip for Today : A good way to use all those matching tags is to layer them around your photo thereby creating lots of dimension on your layout.

Well recycling cardboard toilet roll tubes seems to be a big hit with the Dream Team lately, this time Oddbjorg created these gorgeous napkin wraps for her summer party. And what paper line could be more perfect for a summer party than Piggy Tales Cinderella collection. To create the napkin wraps Oddbjorg cut the roll into three pieces, and then glued on paper, distressed and curled the edges a little bit to make it stand out more, and added layers of paper and ribbon for dimension.

Oddbjorgs Tip for Today : Add a decorative edge of your projects with scalloped scissors, punchers or scissors.

Hey hey, I wanna be a rock star!!!

Anne knew just what photos of her daughter she wanted to scrap when she first saw these Piggy Tales Twinkle Twinkle papers.  This 9 photo layout of a wannabe rock star uses dimension in a number of ways. Using a mix of colour and black and white photographs, sanding the edges of some and doodling on others, raising certain elements on foam pads, using sparkly rub-ons and adding glitter to the title, twisted ribbon and rik rak and the KI lace cardstock take the eyes up and down and over the page.
