This just lifts them a little when mounted on printed paper.</p><p>After constructing the album (see video for tips) I cut up papers from the collection to cover each page. Just measure them and cut to fit. Glue on each page to prepare the album for production. I also cut up a bunch the same height as the album pages but only half as wide to create page extension flaps on any pages I wanted them on. Just score and fold 1 inch in from the edge to create the hinge, then glue that piece on the existing page.</p><p><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1066" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1yfH9_zKoex-dUtOY3QxeDJETK5E-JjaDHCdOIFE83tR57SUvN9RXtVNMFQhz95MvbGA8UlJGmbToH78vfDdv7gByW8pRf_5hFEgajkL282lx_JWbiE6lq9f4XKNOqmCpQjApQx1w5WY/w640-h480/page+1.jpg" width="640" /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1yfH9_zKoex-dUtOY3QxeDJETK5E-JjaDHCdOIFE83tR57SUvN9RXtVNMFQhz95MvbGA8UlJGmbToH78vfDdv7gByW8pRf_5hFEgajkL282lx_JWbiE6lq9f4XKNOqmCpQjApQx1w5WY/s1066/page+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh46J_j1K8gOBYln-PwYQ5t5KPOo_8SnFYIHhuWF7IWBYpc9LWdegTjCKj1i7a7_HoeYLJ09HgpA28LaD2RBt3Hxglow0Gi44GzvMsCoKR_huoXnsdoTQWqv4RzWxWDQL85aH3Mjx-9E6I/s1066/page+1+inside.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1066" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh46J_j1K8gOBYln-PwYQ5t5KPOo_8SnFYIHhuWF7IWBYpc9LWdegTjCKj1i7a7_HoeYLJ09HgpA28LaD2RBt3Hxglow0Gi44GzvMsCoKR_huoXnsdoTQWqv4RzWxWDQL85aH3Mjx-9E6I/w640-h480/page+1+inside.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cut up a 12x12 Sheet of watercolor cardstock into tags measuring about punched a hole in each and used them throughout the project.

It is stained, but it still represents the year that was and sits happily on the bookshelf in all its imperfect glory!</div>
<br />I created a memory album about being in lockdown last year. There are lots of memories I wanted recorded, so we can look back to these strange times we have been currently living in! <div><br /></div><div>The True North Creative kit and Paper Collection was a great choice for this project. I also created the Lockdown Cut-apart Sheet for this particular project!<br />

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
Hello Planner Peeps!!!<br />
I am sharing something today here (and at <b><a href="http://www.paperflourish.com.au/blog" target="_blank">Paper Flourish</a> </b>a couple of weeks ago) that I have recently gotten into, that I am quite excited about. My Daily Planner! I have tried all kinds of planning. I thought something on my phone would be the best course of action seeing I have my phone with me constantly, and I trialed several apps and even bought a couple, in my quest to find something that worked and got my life in order! Being a predominantly 'Stay at Home Mum', I feel like I am on a constant mission to declutter, stay on top of house hold 'stuff' as well as keep up with all my creating duties, both work and play, and nothing was working for me.<br />
<br />
Recently I caught sight of Midori Travellers Notebooks and Journals. and it piqued my interest. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://johnguycollick.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/midori-traveler-notebook-b-06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://johnguycollick.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/midori-traveler-notebook-b-06.jpg" height="232" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source <a href="http://johnguycollick.com/midori-travellers-notebook/" target="_blank">Here</a>)</span></div>
<br />
<br />
I didn't love the price imported from Japan, so after filling my cart and pausing before pushing that 'Buy Now' button.... I stumbled across other handmade versions and faux-doris on the net. Never one to buy something I can make, I decided to go that route and make my own.<br />
<br />
So thus began my love for this system if you will.<br />
I will explain it a little further.....<br />
<br />
So The Midori Notebooks are this lovely soft leather cover with elastic bands threaded through it. It gets more worn and lovely with age, as leather does. It feels nice and looks good. Ticks all the boxes!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhybdLgKoPcwJCB2jLGeac_cDZdthbHwrtOVaKbuwVmxjFWX2bxMTZ80LOtuqnx6GX3XtppV1GfAGrIhYDELzp-d8izND6G-cEmZNSXCrA5wsMjKG7L9dJ0I8WcffsVch9R1dZmw49b08U/s1600/pic10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhybdLgKoPcwJCB2jLGeac_cDZdthbHwrtOVaKbuwVmxjFWX2bxMTZ80LOtuqnx6GX3XtppV1GfAGrIhYDELzp-d8izND6G-cEmZNSXCrA5wsMjKG7L9dJ0I8WcffsVch9R1dZmw49b08U/s320/pic10.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Next the 'proper' Midori brand sells all these lovely little notebooks, with all kinds of insides, lines, graph, plain, diary, journal, different paper etc. These are thin little notebooks that you add into your midori cover and band then altogether using the elastic band system.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So if you like making your own stuff, you just print out paper with grid lines or lines, or just blank computer paper, and cut to size, add a cover using any scrapbooking paper that inspires you</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and stitch down the middle with your sewing Machine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(or stitch with a needle and thread)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Embellish how you wish, using your substantial stash!!! :-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's a sample of my <b>Bullet Journal</b>....made the same way......</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisqE_uNe-9-xigYKC-NhLr5Vgidt0k0GkoZR5JJbmNdP87Iw9QxGY4Ea0jAGzHMbwkyBiq1RQGxRWLmoZghr0bqVGmRSymi5q5ZZaEHaKQqYKl6EIw1wllgYdy0J9gF-2BwrtjbmNljsU/s1600/image3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisqE_uNe-9-xigYKC-NhLr5Vgidt0k0GkoZR5JJbmNdP87Iw9QxGY4Ea0jAGzHMbwkyBiq1RQGxRWLmoZghr0bqVGmRSymi5q5ZZaEHaKQqYKl6EIw1wllgYdy0J9gF-2BwrtjbmNljsU/s320/image3.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The idea behind this particular booklet, is that you<b> list your month</b> on the top.... <b>write the days in the month</b> on the left (so you can see at a glance what you have to have done on each day)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the right you<b> 'brain dump'</b>. Just jot down every single thing you can think of that you might want to achieve this month. The things that have due dates or appointments you can put straight in on the left. You mark off when you achieve the task, If you didn't manage it, when you do the next month, you flip back to the past month and <b>transfer everything</b> you didn't get done straight in the next month. Really cool. gets you in the right headspace and helps you remember all the things you need to do. <i>Out of your head onto the paper</i> kinda thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The actual <b>planner </b>is one I purchased from Etsy. Its just a file with a planner layout, which I print double sided. I make a booklet for each month, which means I print on 8 sheets of paper for each notebook and fold in half. Making enough pages for 31 days....plenty for any month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I include a calendar printout before I stitch and add in a menu plan or a list I want to get done on the back and stitch that in as well! Folded into 3 and having it fold out full width when opened.</div>

My little list notebook as well from 'listersgottalist' website (a challenge of lists every month) </div>

(My little stack of notebooks inside my planner....mmmmm)</div>
<br />
<br />
Best of all, because I jot down so much about daily life, I include each notebook after the month has passed, in my Project life album. It helps me catch up, with my Project life when I am behind, and it will be cool to see what each day entailed in the future!<br />

<br />
Unfortunately I could not embed the original one I used with the most beautiful music (Unstoppable Love by Kim Walker Smith......<b>See this original one <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9etHcviCImAMXlHMy0wTHhJbE0/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">HERE</a>)</b><br />
<br />
It was perfect for the verse but because of copyright restrictions on Youtube I could not load it anywhere.... But I did replace the music in the video below with a nice piece. Not quite the same but anyway!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So if you are into hand lettering you might find this interesting.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g8Vm1K0n5a4" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
The page is the inside cover and the first page in my Bible. I covered each with my favourite Gesso for my Bible. 'Pro Art Economy' Gesso, which I got sent over to me from the US in a HUGE 2.9 litre tub! (LOVE IT!!!) Read More about that HERE.<br />
<br />
I then added a layer of Daniel Smith 'Watercolour Ground' which is a paste you can brush onto a non absorbant surface, to accept watercolour better. I dried that well before beginning my page as you can see in the video above.<br />
<br />

<br />
Its certainly the perfect piece of scripture to have in the very front page!<br />
<br />
Anyway. I will leave you with that.<br />
Hope you enjoyed the quick look into the process.<br />
<br />
See you again soon.<br />

A new Video this week for Shimmerz Paints.</div>
<br />
<br />
Shimmerz Have released an new line of paint collections. Mono Tonez have hit the shelves. These paints are a collection of both old and new colours across several ranges in the Shimmerz Lines. They are all monochromatic colours and they are just cool!<br />

I used the collection to paint watercolour paper (300 gsm from Canson) and then cut it up and used it to create a Project Life cards for a coordinating spread....<br />
<br />
Here is the VIDEO.....<br />

<br />
Well this is fun. <br />
I thoroughly enjoy drawing.<br />
<br />
I draw every chance I get.<br />
I love paints and mediums, but I can draw sitting in bed watching TV, if I just use the basics. Like graphite pencil and some nice paper. My art books and journals from Canson are my favourites.<br />
<br />
I was directed to the FB Group 300 Faces in 365 days, and I LOVE the challenge it is giving me. Just draw faces. No pressure, just practise....just fine tuning skills and thoroughly enjoying the process while I practise!!!<br />
<br />
Here are some of my first ones!<br />

I loved working with this December Main Kit!<br />
<br />
I decided on a December Daily. I am falling behind my Project life dismally, and I thought this might be a way of recording the weeks leading up to Christmas a little easier!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here's how I did this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very simple with no real over the top embellishing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I figure I would add a little more once I sort out my photos and journaling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'Keep it simple' was my motto.</div>

<br />
Hope you will give this a try sometime.<br />
Doesn't even have to be a December Daily....any album you feel like making would be fine!<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

I really enjoy working with them, Pam does an amazing job at putting together fabulous papers and embellishments....<br />
<br />
Every now and then I realise I am out of cards. I like having a decent stash to pick from when we have a birthday or special event...or even a just because card.....and I was out. so I selected this gorgeous teal floral patterned paper and some of the stickers in the pack. I coloured some of the flowers I previously pulled apart with Shimmerz Paint, and they went nicely on a couple!<br />

(Sigh)<br />
I have no idea if I can catch up....at this point I am thinking I will mix months and/or weeks together.<br />
It's ok though.<br />
<i>What ever!</i><br />
<br />
One thing I have decided though, is to make my PL a little simpler. SIMPLIFY.<br />
I am addicted to embellishing. But I just cant keep it up with other deadlines. So here's one which is a little simpler than my usual. Its not a showy one. Its just a spread. It still tells our story.<br />
<br />
I used the November Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook. As you can see this kit goes a long way. This is project #6! I still have kit left, and could make another project life spread out of it, and probably another couple of pages.<br />

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another quick share today....my next project using the November <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/" target="_blank">MCS</a> Creative Kit</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My little girl recently broke her arm at school. It was a really nasty 24 hours, we had an overnight hospital stay and she had to go to theatre for surgery after 11 or so hours of waiting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was hard waiting that long with a little one in agony. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This photo was taken the morning after the surgery....She was exhausted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pulled out all the similar teal colours in the kit for this page, to give it a monochromatic feel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did some fussy cutting from a floral sheet in the kit and used the template to cut the ampersand out of the coordinating patterned paper. I pulled apart the flowers and made them less dimensional, placing a string tied button in the centre of each.</div>

My journaling was written on strips of cardstock and then cut apart and stacked on top of each other.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know sometimes a page just feels good from start to finish...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the colours work, the embellishments work, and it just comes together? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was one of those. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved working on this one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just wish they happened more often! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you will check back soon, for more fun projects using the MCS kit. :-)</div>

Hello today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a good day to create. I am sharing another project from the <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/" target="_blank">MCS</a> Kit for November</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Creative Kit this month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Hello Everyday Life"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These gorgeous papers layered together make a Layout easy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The drips on this page are a brand new Shimmerz Coloringz colour, which is one of my new favourites! Love "A shade of grey" such a great dark grey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(If you head to the<a href="http://www.shimmerzpaintsstore.com/" target="_blank"> Shimmerz Store</a> to get your own...Mention my name in the NOTES TO MERCHANT, and you can choose a FREE paint)</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved these sticker words in the kit. I adhered them dimensionally with liquid Scrap dots from Helmar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The black, white and grey with the pop of teal works well together. So pretty!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So it was a super quick share today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be back again soon :-) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a good one.</div>

</div>
A new month Means Lots of new Projects with the My Creative Scrapbook Kits.....<br />
I got <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/kits.htm#mini" target="_blank">The Creative Kit</a>. Its a different kit than the one I usually work with BUT I Loved it!!!!<br />
<br />
Here is the Kit....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/images/nov2014/Nov14-creativeKitTH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/images/nov2014/Nov14-creativeKitTH.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here one of the pages I created using this kit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Grandpa's Glasses"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fun with Shimmerz Paints Sprays and an acylic block</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZJArBJetLnQeGGO3C6m_DsdRUreq0gvR6PcIyxc8f7XLDGvlZRrowetFVoWL44DjZZGh-vFWqKxDadVHacAb8SOn_hrBy0swRdIKgu9446VWHHJfpP2COH3XtJNukII-M_K4RnpwAJfQ/s1600/MCS-Lydell-Quin-Creative-Kit-Layout3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZJArBJetLnQeGGO3C6m_DsdRUreq0gvR6PcIyxc8f7XLDGvlZRrowetFVoWL44DjZZGh-vFWqKxDadVHacAb8SOn_hrBy0swRdIKgu9446VWHHJfpP2COH3XtJNukII-M_K4RnpwAJfQ/s1600/MCS-Lydell-Quin-Creative-Kit-Layout3.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loved the colours here. Red, black and yellow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not a colour scheme that comes to mind when I think of an appealing palette</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it works.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I like it! LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a few colours of Shimmerz Paint in the background sets the scene nicely and softens the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paint creates depth in that it makes layers on your project without adding bulk....there are 3 layers of colours here before we even start on the paper and other embellishments!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Paint is cool!</i></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little groupings of embellishments work in negative space, creating a little more balance</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

and of course a sweet little doily! Love adding doilies!!!! Some sticker labels with their corners rounded, makes some cool tabs with with tiny attacher. Some punched stars and circles and some Grey Shimmerz Coloringz finishes it all off just nicely!<br />
<br /></div>

I had lots of Artsy fun with this page, and you can see it morph with the layering in the pictures below.</div>

It really is a layered piece!</div>

First I used stencils and brown Ink to add some texture to the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I added paint and sprayed with water and dry brushed it on here and there.</div>

I used a bottle lid stamped in india ink, to leave circles around the page, with some black drips added with a dip pen dipped in the india ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wrote words, drew scraggly circles in varying sizes and just made marks.</div>

I hand cut some letters for my Title from the Paper in the kit, and I painted them with the Shimmerzy Paint! Gorgeous!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pulled out elements that would work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a doily</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the hexagonal chip shapes....which I painted with crackle texture paint, and then green paint, then Shimmerz Paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ribbon (olive green organza)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A title that matched what I wanted to say</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A flower I pulled apart and sprayed with Shimmerz </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By this stage I wanted to take it back a bit, and tone down the strong colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I swiped gesso over the background, and used the end of the paint brush to made circles all around, with the Shimmerz Paint , framing my focal area of the page</div>

It changed a bit over its production, but I liked how it came out in the end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I almost gave it up several times, I set it aside, and kept going back to it, because I loved the colours with the striped Paper.....I learned two things.....1- sometimes it pays to persist......and 2- almost anything can be saved....sometimes you just need to set it aside, and come back to it with fresh eyes.</div>

The October Main Kit from <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/">MCS</a> features some fabulous <a href="http://www.cartabellapaper.com/">Carta Bella</a> and <a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/">Echo Park</a> Products. This one was a really cute Kit, and I enjoyed it. In fact I still have heaps left over and am going to continue to enjoy it!!! But for Now, here's another of the Layouts I created! (See the first one I shared in the Blog Hop Last week <a href="http://lydellquin.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/my-creative-scrapbook-birthday-bash-hop.html">HERE</a>)<br />

I loved this ruler paper! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just chose a brown Paint (Shimmerz Hot Fudge) and sprayed other elements to make them a little more monochromatic, so it didn't 'fight' with the busy background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose the brown ribbon to add to the background, some strips of stamped waxed paper, Cut a label sticker in half and used top and bottom as 'tabs', sprayed a white flower brown, and painted the banner with texture paste and rubbed walnut distress inks into it. The sweet little brown deer finished it off nicely!</div>

I loved working with this Kit! Such gorgeous papers. and sweet embellishments!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did a lot of subtle layering in this page. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">*******Layout How to******</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I chose the dotty paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. I started with the Prima Packaging from the flower Packet. The green suited the colour scheme!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3.Then I layed on a doily</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. I used the scalloped border from the Sticker sheet tucked under the packaging, top and bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. I printed out my Photos 4 to a 6x4 Photo- printed at home using the 'Fuzel' App on my i-phone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(A bit less fiddly that way)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. I pulled apart a couple of the flowers in the pack, so they are more 'simple' and less dimensional for my page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">*******TECHNIQUE TIP******</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and you have the sweetest little altered flower!</div>

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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. Using the rhinestone gem embellishment cut apart sections that look like flourishes and poke them in around the cluster.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
11. Add in the chip banner "Such a Perfect Day"</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12. Peel off the sticker banner and cut off three flags.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
13. Add a chip word strip "homemade with love" and the chip arrow just above it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
14. Cut apart two gemstones and add them to the owls eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
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.</div>
