Ballerina Cards

Robyn Leeanne from Scraptease here with 3 pretty cards.

I have used Stamperia Ballerina collection for these cards.

Little Ballerina

Hello my crafty friends

My gosh this year is fast approaching the end.

My layout today features no photos but I hope it inspires you to use the Stamperia Ballerina range. It is stunning.

Some of these papers I have to admit I do find a little intimidating, I really don't know what to do with them sometimes.

I have plenty of little girl photos but how can I use then and still make the paper visible in its beauty.

Well I have given it a go, I hope you like.

Step 1

Fussy Cutting.

Yes fussy cutting.... I can hear you groan but sometimes its the only way to go.

I fussy cut the Ballerinas so I could mount it on top of itself on the page.

Step 2.

I cut the second sheet of my papers I had chosen at the 6.5 inch mark.

Then scored a .5 inch from the edge pressed that back and glued the .5 inch about 2 inches in from the left edge of my first chosen paper

Step 3

I precut white cardstock to the required size for the photos.

I laid this out to get an idea as to where and how they would fit and look on the page.

Step 4

On the right edge of the layout I stuck another piece of the first paper. This was about 3 x 4 inches then I scored it at the 3.5 inch mark, folded that and stuck to the edge of the right side of the second paper. This gave me extra space for 2 small photos.

Finally this was the layout of the page that I chose.

I have left space for journaling.

Step 5

Once construction and fussy cutting was complete it is time to decorate.

As these pages are already so beautiful and so as to not lose to much of that, I decorated very simply.

You will notice the piece of string in a bow that ties the charm to the smaller flip out on the right edge of the layout.

Step 6

I mounted the fussy cut Ballerina over herself on the outside of the flip out part,

then added diecut hearts that were colored with some distress oxides and attached with glue.

This is the finished layout.

I hope this inspires you to grab some of this beautiful Stamperia papers and try them out.

sometimes "less is more"

I do hope you find inspiration in your day to craft.

Until next time my friends CRAFT ON!!

Starting School

Hello my Crafty friends I hope you are well and crafting your little hearts out.

Today's layout features my grandsons first day at school.

Using these wonderful little embellishments from Robins Nest to enhance my work. They are just so cute that you can not resist using them.

I have used Carina Sator's Hypster Style Collection for this layout.

Puzzles and play ...... all while I am fussy cutting and sticking.

I'm sure this will inspire many to use the River Blue Dew drops from Robin's Nest to embellish there beautiful art works.

Brag Book

Hello again my crafty friends.

These pre made albums are a great way to document an event, a year or just a single persons life.

I have chosen to use mine as a brag book.

I am using some of my stash of Project Life cards to journal on or to brighten the pages.

Lots of stickers and ephemera were used in this album.

Journaling I think is a big part of creating an album like this.

Even if you just document the names and dates of events.

Making one these albums also enables the use of a lot of photos and sometimes it takes a few photos to tell that story.

Another thing about creating these albums is that they don't have to be completed then and there.

You can take as long as you like and add to it when and where you want.

You can also change out pages for a different look.

The front comes blank so I have decorated it and given it my own title.

I hope this has given you some inspiration to make an album of your own.

There is honestly so much joy that is to be had making them.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I do hope you find inspiration in your day to craft.

Until next time my friends CRAFT ON!!

Stay tuned and stay creative

Let the Fun Begin

Hello my crafty friends, I hope you are well and crafting your little hearts out.

Today I have a little fairy layout featuring my grand-daughter.

I used Studio 73's Fairyland collection for this one.

I also used these little dew drops again. They are wonderful to use as that last little addition to your work, just to finish it off.

They just gives the look of water drops amongst the mushrooms

There was a lot of fussy cutting done for this layout also the addition of some art stones and gold leaf for that extra little sparkle that fairies need.
