2020 Recap by Angela

Hello everyone!

It's Angela here. I can't believe we are almost at the end of this crazy year. It's been so strange and sometimes hard to deal with and I am really looking forward to the new year to start. 

This page is a multiple photo 12 x 12 inch layout to recap the year.

I created a collage in photoshop and printed it on photo paper. I left 0.24 inch of white border around and cut the excess. The collage measures in total 11 x 5 inches. 

Underneath, I added two patterned papers from Marigold 6 x 8 paper pad that you can find in the shop. For the title, I used the Citrus Twist exclusive black Foam Alphabet Stickers and the green Puffy Alphabet Stickers, while 2020 is printed with Big Numbers Stamp. This stamp set has three different fonts and I used a combination of the three to write the date.

To decorate, I created three clusters of embellishments using the Tickets & Tags and the Floral ephemera pack from this month.

I also added a few chipboard Stars on the photo collage, without covering any face, just to add a bit of color to the clack and white photo.

That's all for today, my friends. I hope you liked the page and I wish you all the best for the new year.

Love, NG

 

Life Crafted with Sheree

 

Hi everyone!

Today I have a life crafted spread to share with you featuring the super fun Life Crafted TICKETS & TAGS Die-Cut Ephemera and one of the pretty papers from the Crate Paper SWEET STORY 6”X 8” Paper Pad.

When I saw all the colourful tickets and tags in the ephemera pack it made me think about the time we went to our local community show.  I decided to work outside the page protectors in my life crafted album so my pages are roughly 5” x 8”.

I found my photo and printed it out full size, then chose the lovely frames paper from the paper pad and cut it to size too.  I chose tickets and tags that tied in with the colours of the frames and adhered them into place before adding a little machine stitching to each for texture.

I stamped the date onto the “life as we know it” tag.  I love the new Citrus Twist 6” x 8” GET MESSY Stamp set and used the little camera stamp on one of the tags at top of the page, then stamped the “time well spent” onto white cardstock with a green ink before punching it out with a circle punch and adhering it to the page with a foam square.  I also added some stars from the Citrus Twist BRIGHTS Chipboard Star Stickers and a die cut heart from the ephemera pack.

At the bottom of the photo page I layered two tickets and my printed journaling together before adding some more machine stitching.  I added my title using the gorgeous CitrusTwist SUN YELLOW Foam Alphabet, then finished off with two more chipboard stars and a tiny die cut heart.

All I had to do then was punch the six holes down the side of each page and add it to my album.  I love how easily this spread came together! 

You can see how I put this spread together in the video below:

 

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!  I look forward to sharing another project with you soon!
