My Heart by SUE CREASE

Hello there!

Today I am up on  The Mad Scrapper Blog with this layout of my family taken Christmas 2023.

It uses the beautiful papers from the Australian company Uniquely Creative and this collection is called Gypsy Heart. I started by taking their green plain cardstock and gutted out the centre then taking my chosen 12x12 paper I trimmed 1/4inch from each side and matted it on to the green.

Next I took the tapestry stencil and using the Tea Dye ink I added some around the page for extra dimension, you can see in the photo below.

Then I took a doily die and using a texture page I cut one out and placed it on the page where the photo is going to be placed. You can just see it below under the flowers. You can see that I have added the photo to a green mat and lifted it with some spare chipboard. This allows me to tuck things under.

I also added some doily to the top right corner too. Then I opened the pack of coordinating creative cuts and added my two clusters to the page. This top left I allowed it to come around the side, I also added some fussy cuts from the 6x6 paper pad. I used some sentiment snippets around the page.

I added a couple of gold foil leaves to the clusters because there are a few gold touches within some of the papers. Most things are lifted for dimension and everything is inked on its edges.

Here you can see the bottom cluster a little closer along with the title which comes from the cuts pack. The Livin the Life is from the 6x6 paper pad along with these daisies. I used one of the tags to add a little bit of journaling and attached some twine before adding it under the photo.

You can see from the main photograph that I have added daisies & hearts around the layout as well as gold and black gems. These paper collections are wonderful and the quality of the papers are amazing I do hope you call in and check them out yourself or if like me you live too far away go to  The Mad Scrapper   and you won't be disappointed.  Thanks for stopping in again today.
