Hey everyone, this is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) with two new DOUBLE layouts and a process video, using the fabulous Crafty Things collection! Being a scrapbooker, this collection has my heart! I recently went on a crafty trip to Luxembourg to visit Lisa Fonseca and Shara Crane and have scrapped all my Lux photos with Crafty Things.
My first double layout has 15 photos on it (!) and is of a day we spent sight seeing – we didn’t do any crafting that day, but Crafty Things works so well because I’m with my crafty friends!
I don’t often make double layouts but always enjoy the different format when I do. I wanted to include 15 photos on this layout so a double was the only way to go! I printed 14 photos in the small size and arranged them in a classic grid design. I wanted to mount them onto patterned paper but didn’t have enough of one paper to back them all, so opted for two different patterns and created two long strips 24” long (two 12” pieces) to stretch across the layout. I then added my photos to these.
I also printed a feature photo that was of the group of us, was landscape orientation and also bigger. I mounted this onto another patterned paper and added this to the layout. I layered it with a couple of tags from the Tag Elements paper which I tied through with ribbons. I also added tags behind some of the other photos too.
For my title I used the words ‘Creative Fun’ from the Foam Stickers. I also added other words to the layout too, also from the Foam Stickers: Awesome and Pretty Cool.
I added lots of embellishments. I used a big paintbrush from the Big Bits. I added smaller bits from the Bits & Pieces and I also added Floral Bits. I also added a few of the gorgeous Rub-Ons, some Cardstock Stickers and some Decorative Brads.
I finished off with a few splatters of black paint – I love how this one turned out! It's such a great way of showcasing loads of photos! Here is the link for the process video I have made for this layout, enjoy! https://youtu.be/Z51bZCZagHg
For my second layout I made another double layout but this time I had a panoramic photo printed at 8” x 24” - what a photo! I cut the photo in half and stuck each half to a background sheet. I framed the photo with colourful strips using one of the Crafty Things papers – I adore the colours in those stripes!
On top of the enlarged photo, I added three smaller photos. I mounted each one onto different papers and positioned them all towards the bottom of the photo. I built my embellishment clusters around those and added another small cluster at the top.
I added some fussy cut embroidery hoops as embellishments, as well as some Bits & Pieces, Floral Bits and lots of Cardstock Stickers.
For my title I used the word ‘crafty’ with ‘girls’ and then ‘on tour’ using the Alpha Bits – these have been so fun to use! They are gorgeous too as they all have gold foiling!
I added a few more little embellishments: Decorative Brads, small foam hearts from the Foam Stickers and some phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers. I finished off with some splatters of white paint and handwrote my journaling!
Thank you so much for joining me today and happy scrapping!
