Modern Melody Layout 2

This is my distressed layout, very different from the layout I posted yesterday, but using the same paper pack Modern Melody.

 

I love the crumpled distressed look and think it really suits a boy layout. What I really LOVE about this layout, is it is so easy to match it to your photos by just changing the background 12 x 12 colour. I have used Cherry Cobbler here, but any colour would be fine. Turn the newspaper print DSP over and it is a black background with a vanilla polka dot, making the layout even more versatile.

 

So, here finally, is Ben's 2012 Book Week photos scrapped. DONE!

Modern Melody Layout 1

So, I was a little chuffed I received a bundle from Stampin' Up!'s new catalogue this week and it has already led me to getting two layouts done. The goodies included the new DSP Modern Melody, Happy Day stamp set and some cute little Essential Hardware Clips.

 

My first layout is rather clean-cut and bold and the other very different, ripped and distressed, both using papers from Modern Melody. I've used similar colours, but using different techniques makes these pages so, so different.

 

I am going to post the first layout I made today, then will post the other tomorrow.

 

Oh, and I finally embossed! Wahooo!! Something I've been meaning to add to my scrapping for yonks!

Here is a close-up:

 

 

I've used the layout for my daughter's 6" x 8" physie photos, but as you can see on the top layout, the layout will allow lots of photos.

Crosses of Hope Scrapbook Layout

My daughter had her Confirmation a fortnight ago and after scrapping my son's Confirmation and Communion last year, I knew I needed Stampin' Up's! 'Crosses of Hope' stamp set before I even began to tackle her pages, so this stamp set was my latest purchase. I love how there are 3 crosses to choose from and they make card making for these events a breeze too.

 

Here is my layout:

 

The layout would suit Baptism, Confirmation or Communion.
