Crafty Collaborations - August Scrapbook Sunday - Season Of Green & Gold

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop,
Crafty Collaborations is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from throughout
the world collaborating together and sharing their creative flair.
You may have joined me from Helen - LoveADuckie Blog or
you may be starting here with me... Thank you for joining us this month.

I LOVE not having any theme or challenge for our Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop.
It allows me to choose EXACTLY what I want to create with, not having any boundries.


I chose to use the products from the Online Exclusive range offered every 2 months. 
I chose the DSP, Vellum and Cherry Cobbler and Pearl adhesive backed Berries.

I LOVED the images on Season Of Green and Gold and the Graceful Greenery Vellum

 

 

 

 Such a simple layout from me, BUT it is not for the feint hearted.
This layout required hours of fussy cutting because I was being a cheap skate and
said to myself I don't need the Stamp and Die to match the DSP.
Well I am really regretting that decision.

 
Using a Page Maps Sketch I followed it almost to design, the only thing I added
was the circle in the middle of the 2 photos.

I used Lost Lagoon Stampin' Write Marker for the dotted (which I suck at)
border on the left and top and the journalling panel below the photos.

I stamped the You Are Beautiful Stamp in Lost Lagoon 1st and 2nd generation stamping.
This created the wreath look behind the photos.
Then I started to stick the leaves that I fussy cut from the DSP and Vellum over
that stamped images until I filled it the shape.

Using a piece of 4" x 4" DSP to go behind the photos, then I Die-cut a white vellum layer
with the Deckled Circles Die to add over that...Sadly, you actually don't get to see much of it.

I fussy cut the bells and added them randomly on the layout.  Next were the berries.
The stamped sentiment from Greeting Of The Season.
Which was stamped on a Die-cut Deckled Circle with Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad
and then backed with a larger Deckled Circle from Real Red cardstock.

Picking a title for a layout that I have created and don't know which photos
I will be using is hard, so Thanks Google for your suggestions.
I went with All I Want...
AS that will work for almost any photos that I choose.
