So on with the PROJECT!

Here is just one of the projects I created with the October Main kit: 

I loved working with this Kit!  Such gorgeous papers. and sweet embellishments!

I did a lot of subtle layering in this page. 

*******Layout How to******

1. I chose the dotty paper

2. I started with the Prima Packaging from the flower Packet.  The green suited the colour scheme!

3.Then I layed on a doily

4. I used the scalloped border from the Sticker sheet tucked under the packaging, top and bottom.

5. I printed out my Photos 4 to a 6x4 Photo- printed at home using the 'Fuzel' App on my i-phone.

6. Cut up the die cut 12x12 sheet of Kraft Polaroid frames and chose 3 to frame my photos.  I just stapled these together with the photos placed how I wanted them, to stick down as 1 entire piece. 

 (A bit less fiddly that way)

7. I pulled apart a couple of the flowers in the pack, so they are more 'simple' and less dimensional for my page.

*******TECHNIQUE TIP******

8.  I threaded a needle and using the ruffled ribbon in the kit, I cut a length about 4.5 inches long and ran a loose straight stitch up the length of it.  Pull the thread to gather it and it makes a little circle.  Do a couple of stitches to hold it together and glue to the centre of each flower. 

and you have the sweetest little altered flower!

9.  Select the little birds and the owl adding foam tape to the back of the owl and largest bird....and layer them on top of the flower stacks.  Poke in little leaves around the perimeter to create a little gathering of embellishments.  Choose a mix of stickers and chip embellishments to add dimension.  Layer them on top of the flower as well.

10.  Using the rhinestone gem embellishment cut apart sections that look like flourishes and poke them in around the cluster.

11.  Add in the chip banner "Such a Perfect Day"

12.  Peel off the sticker banner and cut off three flags.

13.  Add a chip word strip "homemade with love" and the chip arrow just above it.

14.  Cut apart two gemstones and add them to the owls eyes.

 15.  Select the stickers with the words in the sub title and cut apart to form the word stack on the left of the photos.  "A perfect Day to Spend with you"  glue them in place.

Have fun creating your own Layout!!!
