Santa Excitement layout by SUE CREASE

Hello,

Today I'm up The Mad Scrapper Blog  with this Ready to take photos layout. Did you buy some of these beautiful papers by Uniquely Creative and are still waiting to use them? Well why not make up a layout ready to take them when you get them printed.

I took two papers for this layout and from the Sparkle paper I fussy cut the central banner then I used the left over for the bottom of the page. I took Bazzill Walnut Cream for the top joining just over the halfway point. Then I trimmed it down to 11.5" and matted it on to Bazzill Sweetheart cardstock. I decided to add some stencilling so I chose the Geo Star by Dusty Attic. Then I fussy cut a cluster and added that to the left of the page and finished off with a couple of squiggly lines around the pink base.

Then I set about making the mats for the photos knowing they were going to be 3x4 in size so I found some green from my stash to add to gold mirri. I also made a couple of banners to go with one I cut from the paper and added them to the central line.

The next few photos show the finished results after the banner has been added along with a few extra bits and bobs such as extra Christmas Gnomes, gems and hearts.

You can tell from this photo that the banner is lifted off the page for dimension. The title is fussy cut from the paper.

I set the flag banners at different lengths for interest.

Here you can see the gap I have left for the photos to slip right in as foam is only added below the gold line.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have found this of some help to get layouts ready. I know if you missed out on the individual papers Janine has the collection pad available in this set along with some newer designs all of which are stunning. Pop over to The Mad Scrapper   to check them all out.
