How I Made My May Layout III

My children dressed for Victorian Day at Primary School back in 1999

This is my second page for the Scrapology May 'C is for Charms' challenge.

This is the pretty layout we are scraplifting by Karola Witczak

 Here is our sketch 

I used papers from Kaiser Craft's Sweet Nothings collection.

The stripe paper is called 'All Yours', and the beige patterned paper is called 'Devoted'

The music print is called 'Sincerely'

Green print is 'Love Letters'.

Use a sheet of cardstock as a base, this will be completely covered, so don't worry about the colour.

Cut 2 strips 12" x 2.5" from the striped paper, ink the edges and stick to top and bottom of base card.

I cut the Devoted paper to 9.5" x 12" and trimmed the 12" sides with a Martha Stewart border punch. Ink the edges and stick centrally to base.

Cut the photo mat from music paper the same size as photo. Distress both photo and mat, ink the edges and mount off set onto layout, don't stick right down as other bits need to be tucked underneath later.

Use the Big Shot and cut the clock face from cinnamon Bazzill cardstock and add to page.

Cut title from pink side of 'Love Letters' paper and shadow from Suguaro cardstock - I used the Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge.

Cut leaves from Storybook Cartridge and green side of 'Love Letters' paper and add to layout with some pre-made roses. The butterflies were cut from the 'Love Letters' paper and glittered with Stickles. I added metal photo corners, and some charms.

I added a buckle charm to a length of brown gross grain ribbon and attached over the bottom of the photo.

The book plate was made using the Fabulous Find cartridge and I added some flat backed pearls.

Thanks for looking, and please take a look on the 'C is for Charms' post of 1st May see what the rest of the DT came up with and the details of the challenge and prize.

How I made my May page - Charms II

I have used Basic Grey Kissing Booth papers - Kiss, Butterfly Kisses & Liplock.

A sheet of natural bazzill card was used as a base to which I added two strips of Liplock @ 3.5" top and bottom. Butterfly kisses was cut to @ 9" and punched top and bottom with a Martha Stewart deep edge punch, then added to the centre.

My photograph is 6x4". I distressed the edges and mounted at angles onto pieces of Liplock and some old music score that Lynn gave me.
Several dies were used to cut accents, the Memory Box Madeira corner, Tim Holtz clock face and a Marianne butterfly.
Tattered florals was used with more music score to create flowers which I tinted with cats eyes chalk.

A variety of blossoms were added and some pearl beads which were stitched into place.

Charms were also added, some hanging and some stitched.

The clock face below is from a Stampin' Up set, the second layer added with 3d foam and coated with glossy accents.

I borrowed Lynn's journalling block to add detail and dotted liquid pearls around the edge plus some

swirls.
 
Still plenty of time to enter, click on the challenge in the side bar for more details.
