Hello
there!
May Flaum here with a new monthly series for the Simon Says
Stamp blog! I'll be checking in sharing a new scrapbook layout, how-to,
and sketch too. This month, I wanted to kick it off with
Crate Paper's
line The Pier which is perfect for beachfront crafting - or summer
creations in general.
I knew I wanted to work with one of the
chipboard frames, some
6x6 paper, and
12x12 paper from The Pier so I began the process of gathering, cropping, and setting up some base layers.
I
love how the peaches and greens worked well with all that red rock in
my background, and that my girls bright pink shirts still looked nice
and not too, well, pink for the page.
Layering
with
6x6 paper is so fun - I like to just position it so little bits
and pieces peek out here and there. I also love to build a nice mat (as I
have above) and stitch on it before adhering to my layout. This lets me
play around with position and see what I really like.
Add in some
die cuts,
dimensional stickers, and
a tag I painted with
bundled sage and this layout is coming right together!
There is just one thing: I want to add some gold sparkle! So I added in
number stickers, and I also sprinkled some
gold UTEE in
a few spots. For the UTEE I heated from underneath my page so that it
left gold sprinkles - I love this effect! It is more dimensional and
easier to control verses mist, but a squirt or two of mist would work as
well.
Here is my finished page-
and here is a sketch in case you'd like to try a layout like this yourself!
Not
a scrapbooker? Look at my sketch and notice that if you removed the 4x4
photo and instead did something with a feature stamp image you could
build a cool card or tag.

ReplyDeleteAs always, love to follow your process in building a page. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to this new blog page. Think you have some spam among your comments.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you used the 6x6 papers. Trying
ReplyDeleteto make a dent in my stash...layering these should
help tremendously! :)
Thanks for the sketch, too. Can't wait to try it out.
This is a really great scrapbook page, I think it has the perfect amount of embellishment vs white space, and the sketch is adorable :) TFS!
ReplyDeleteI loved the layering in this! Here's my take: http://paperheartproject.blogspot.com/2013/06/hello-summer.html I ended up layering my photos & creating a mini book in the middle of my page :)
ReplyDeleteGreat layout. Love the glitter on the numbers.
