My Creative Scrapbook - Recreating Banners

Hi There,

I have a little tutorial to share for recreating the banner as seen on my layout created for My Creative Scrapbook with their Limited Edition June Kit.

Banners or Buntings are not only super sweet but are also super fun to make.  I must confess that they are often a feature of my creations from time to time.

They can be made from your scraps of patterned papers and are a quick and easy way of adding a customized accent to your paper crafting project.

To recreate a banner/bunting as seen on my layout -‘Little Girls have magic all of their own’

Create a curved line – I traced around part of a dessert bowl to create the curve and then draw the triangles along the curved line. 

Then simply cut out around the lines which you have drawn 

The banner was attached with foam dots to add some dimension.  Die Cut elements from the My Creative Scrapbook June Limited Edition Kit were then attached over the top.

Try altering the size of the banner by adjusting the length and curvature of the line.  The size and shape of the ‘flag’ can also be adjusted. 

'She’s a little Princess’

 Instead of a triangle why not try a different shape as I have done here. 

My Creative Scrapbook Reveals

Hello!!

Earlier in the week, I shared some sneak peaks of my creations using the My Creative Scrapbook June Limited Edition Kit.

 This kit ROCKS with Pink Paislee London Market and Prima Flowers.

Here is my first creation from this totally gorgeous kit. 

Little girls have a magic all their own.

Everything you see is from the MCS June Limited Edition kit - oh except for the title sentiment and I used some white card for this. 

I did get scissor happy with some fussy cutting

 And layered it up with the fussy cut elements, London Market Ephemera, Prima Flowers and ribbon.

The Eiffel Tower and little tag element sitting on the bird cage were cut out from a couple of the tags which are part of the Ephemera pack.

Prima Flower Packaging was used to layer behind the photo.

 How sweet are the London Market Spool Covers? - These are also part of the kit.  I have another project idea for these, but more about this later :) 

***************
My second layout  has the gorgeous Pink Paislee London Market 'Royal Charm' paper for the base.
A larger banner/bunting  was created from patterned paper.

Pink Paislee packaging was also used - some behind the photo and the floral elements that sit on the crown were also cut from the same packaging. 

The larger Prima bloom was altered with Tattered Angels Patina Glimmer Mist to coordinate.

 A London Market Jumbo Number also features along with the crown from the Ephemera pack, a spool cover and  some more Prima Flowers.

***************

For my following project, I was inspired to create somewhat of a garden theme and wanted it to appear as if Miss E and Missy N were meandering their way through it.

I wonder how many butterflies they found?

Once again I got scissor happy - gosh these patterned papers are perfect for cutting out elements and so pretty.

I used one of the bases from the Twiddleybitz Opening Gates Set as a template to trace around to create the arch that sits behind the photo.  The removed middle insert created the open gate effect - I also removed the centre piece to leave a thin border all the around before attaching.

 The Limited Edition Kit contains gorgeous Prima blooms - here are a few which I have clustered together. 

I also incorporated some of the Prima flower packaging    - the sentiment banners were cut out from this.

*******************

For my final project reveal, this is perhaps a little different to my 'usual thing' but just the same, still had lots of fun putting it together. 

I wanted to make the London Market Jumbo Numbers a feature and have overlapped a number series along one side of the photo.

I again have incorporated some of the Pink Paislee packaging and included travel elements to tie in with the 'world' theme.  

Totally **heart** these gorgeous Prima blooms.  

I loved working with this kit and thank Pam and My Creative Scrapbook for the wonderful opportunity of Guest Designing this month and last.

Scrapping Outback Wicked Wonderland Reveal

'Wicked' Greetings!!

Well I attended an absolutely wicked tea party over the last weekend at Scrapping Outback. Thanks so much to the lovely ladies who came and joined in the fun and frivolity. It sure was an awesome way to spend the weekend.

Here are a couple of layout shares from the weekend

First up is 'Wonderland'. This is the layout that I completed for my online class and I had so much fun designing this one. I believe that there are still a couple of kits still available in store and with the purchase you will receive access to the class instructions for making your very own Wonderland creation.



The awesome Wonderland and rabbit chippie are designed by Rachelle Minett and are both included with the kit. I had lots of fun colouring Mr Rabbit - I know that he is a 'white rabbit' and rabbits don't wear pants but we had to give him pants at my Miss E's insistance (LOL!)







The following layout I completed for Alicia Barry's Queen Of Hearts 'Off with Their Heads' challenge. This is my take on it.



I have used Pink Paislee patterned papers from the Wicked Wonderland Goodie Kit for this one



Chippie is also included in the kit - how cool is that Dusty Attic spider LOL!!
