Off The Rails Scrapbooking July 2022 Challenge

Hello hello

Today I am sharing the page I created for the July challenge at Off The Rails Scrapbooking.

You will find the challenge here.

The challenge is to use outback/desert colours.

Here is my layout

The photo on this page was taken during my trip to Egypt in 2019 when we were able to travel.

The top photo was one I purchased, it was taken many years ago from a slightly different angle to

mine but I wanted to show the "before & after" photos.

The papers I have used for this layout are from a Craft Concepts paper pad

called Vintage Grunge printed in 2012, so you can see I have had it in my stash for some time.

I chose a mustard coloured paper with brown script for the background.

The papers are double sided so I used both sides of the red spot paper plus the striped paper.

All of the papers were torn to size using my Deckle Rulz tearing ruler.

The red spot paper is approximately 5 1/2" wide, the striped paper is approximately 3" wide 

and the last paper is approximately 2" wide.

I used double sided tape to attach these to the background 

so they are evenly spaced across the page.

I used an emery board to file around the edges of my photos and 

matted them onto some cream cardstock.

They were attached to the layout with scrap chipboard pieces behind them.

I created the title using my computer.

I typed the title using Black Oak Std font in size 28.

This was printed onto a piece of the same cardstock that the photos are matted on.

Once it was trimmed to size I backed it with scrap chipboard pieces to attach it to the layout.

The cameras, tags and suitcase embellishments were stamped onto patterned paper and heat embossed.

The suitcase is a stamp from Magnolia, the tags are from Kaisercraft's Now Boarding stamp set 

and the cameras are from Kaisercraft's Happy Snaps stamp set.

Here is my video

I hope you enjoy it

Thank you for spending part of your day here with me today

Till next time

Stay safe

Week 8 Mystical Scrapbooks Retro TV Program Competition

Hello hello

It's the final week of the Retro TV Program Challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks this week

You will find the challenge here

The program for this week is Happy Day's

What a great program it was and who wasn't "in love" with Fonzy, 

I know I was. He was so cool.

The colour scheme for this week is denim and silver,

the required technique is paper tearing,

it must be a masculine layout 

and the item from the optional kit is chipboard cogs.

Here is my layout

The papers I have used are from Uniquely Creative's Country Roads paper collection

The background is a sheet of The Real Deal patterned paper,

I have used Colour Blast Honey Hive - Love and Grace A4 stencil

and Faded Jeans Distress Ink to add some interest.

My photos are 4" square.

I have used an emery board to file around the edges of each of them.

I tore two strips of The Back Paddock paper and ran them down the sides of three of the photos

This panel was added to the left hand side of the layout 

and one of the photos, which is matted on a piece of The Back Paddock paper

is featured on the right hand side of the layout.

All of the photos are mounted on cardboard.

I added a strip of black cardstock to both edges of the photo panel 

and also to the left and right edges of the layout.

I used Memory Maze Pick up Sticks Square frame chipboard 

and the chipboard cogs from the optional kit to embellish the layout.

Each piece was painted with white acrylic paint and then silver acrylic paint.

I cut the frame in half and placed it around the fourth photo and the cogs

were added to the top right of the photo panel and the bottom right of the layout.

I created a third cluster using Uniquely Creative's Silver Metal Cogs to the bottom left of the photo panel.

I also adde one of the metal cogs to each of the other cog clusters.

I cut the title from black cardstock using Kaisercraft's DD700 Alphabet Upper Case dies.

This is attached in the top right of the layout using liquid glue

All of the details are in this video.

I hope you find time to watch and enjoy it.

Till next time

Stay safe
