Welcome everybody, today's layout is for Antibirus Scrap and Craft design on her design team for 2020 and will be my first layout with the February core products. So the core products are papers from Graphic 45 and the collections called Love Nuts Collection and I started off by picking my photo and I thought that the best photo I had to go with these wonderful papers were the start of my in-laws and I thought that the colors match perfectly in with this collection. I chose to document the love between a couple that have endured the test of time and isn't that what love is all about. We want to find that couple that we or that person that we're going to grow old with and spend waste rest of our lives with and I think that this couple embodies all that. So first I picked my background paper and it's this gorgeous black paper and it's got all these lovely musical sounds all over it and I think most of it's aimed at the piano and since no one in my family will place the piano or is that what you find I went with it as a border so that's why you see me gutting the inside of it but I also wanted to pick the inside of it for a future project or for something or somewhat want to do a future because I absolutely love the paper. Now the paper is called Love Notes and it's going to form the frame for this lovely striped paper. Now this striped paper is called Romantic Rhapsody. Sorry I have a major issue pronouncing that word so sorry if I will to it and all I did was cut and each on both sides just to. Shorten my paper and then it's going to form the perfect layout so what I did then I decided all to be too clean so I'm just use it a distressing tool to distress all four sides. If you don't have a distressing tool or if you like me and I sometimes can't find it you can just use a pair of scissors and that does a really good job of wrapping up all your edges. So after my edges were all roughed up I decided I wanted to ink them and I'm just going to use my distress size and vintage photo and each photo is just one of my favorite colours and it's one that I like to use for inking around my edges and also when I want to give it a bit of that old world field. Off camera I did adhere the two pieces of paper together and now to try and bring this layout together. I like that I said earlier I love this paper and I decided that I loved that little saying that I called it up to and it says I know not why I love these and I know that they married for a very long time. Sometimes with your partner you just think why do I love you? Why am I with you? You know you have those moments in that lifelong marriage where you have those doubts I just thought that was a pretty good sentiment to have on the layout considering that I'm sure they've gone through their ups and downs. So back to trying to decide which papers I'm going to use and my view at this stage I have no idea what I'm doing and I decided that I liked this red paper with the hearts and I can see if I remember what that's called. Okay I've looked it up and the paper is called musical masterpiece. What I'm going to do with this paper is I just want a strip of it and I'm auditioning or trying to work out how I'm going to build this layout and then I bring in the stickers and chipboards that are from the same collection but really nothing's jumping out at me and then I thought oh I like this sticker but I don't really know how I'm going to use it so what I did was I just stuck it down on some card stop a little bit of fussy cutting and there you are a musical a movable femora. This time round to frame my photo I'm going to do things a little bit differently I stuck my photo down to some card stop and then I trimmed it so that I only had a border at the top and down the bottom which is something a bit different to me but I really like how this turned out and I took the the sticker sheet that came with the collection and the first sticker is got this gorgeous floral print and I ran it along the top and then you will see me flip the photo over because the the sticker has a bit of a scalloped edge and then I have I put the another another one of those scalloped edges down the bottom of the photo and then there's this other gorgeous sticker and that's got all these these things that said say ever vine ever mine ever hours and those three little sentiments keep repeating so I put that on the top and on the bottom and I just trimmed the excess white card slot and it just looks really really stunning because what I found that originally when I had the photo there it wasn't standing out from all the colorful busy papers on this layout but that just made everything pop out and draw your eye towards the photo so here I am that piece that I originally cut out I thought was just a little bit too long so I just gave it a bit of a trim and once again with my distressing tool I'm going to distress all four edges of both papers the red ones that I'm doing now and also the black one but there they are all done a bit of inking with that same vintage photo just so that everything ties in nicely and trying to put this layout together so there's that Fossick cut piece that I had I wasn't really sure where I was going to put it but then I decided that it was going to go right there I just sort of like how it flowed so that full stuff down and this is one of the chipboard pieces and that's on the oh what is that on the left hand side there and that just says how to I love me and this is where I decided I wanted a little bit of mixed media so I thought about that since all I just have it there because I'm really not 100% sure so just auditioning that scene how I like it and then I used some of my old bread for my collection to secure that little tag that says how to I lovely from that famous old poem how do I love me let me count the ways so this is my sequence that I got in my kit and I'm just going to cover up some of the love hearts I don't want to use and this took a bit of time that I love it I just did one love heart at a time because I did what all the love hearts on my on my layout I did one and then very carefully added some of my sequence the new both sequence and these gorgeous little round red circles I'm really having the problem talking today and yeah because the new book pace was still quite work they just stuck on beautifully so I didn't do a lot of love hearts on that right hand side of the page I just wanted to use so I just went through and did it very painstaking leaks slowly a couple of time just to add a bit of interest to that side of the page and I'm really happy with how it turned out especially with those sequence but then you will see that I changed things up a bit further down because this layout was forever changing on me I couldn't resist the urge to pussy cut one of those gorgeous roses from the many papers that feature their beautiful these beautiful roses and this love heart here that I'm securing now that's from the support collection and it says my life so I thought yes I'll put that down there and I'm just securing it with a love heart braids that I found in my stash and talking about stash I realize I've got so many braids like there's that container and there's a second container similar today. Does anybody else have all these braids? They were just so popular a number of years ago you found braids everywhere but now when I haven't really seen braids as much as I as I used to I guess that craze is millowed out of it so I also decided to add three of those love hearts to the love hearts that I had stenciled earlier and I just love the dimension that that all added so all I'm doing here is adding a few more of those gorgeous sequins from new go and just this going scattering them around the paint and really happy with how it all turned out. The bottom right hand corner is just looking a little bit too blank for my life then so what I did was I got another one of these stickers and they were so thin I didn't want to just stick it down so I'm just going to do the same old trick as before I stuck it on some cardstock, Cussy Cutter and down it went and I put it a bit of a journal in tag I just wrote a little bit of journaling and that's about that's my layout that's about it that easy so I hope you like it love it if you subscribe to my channel and yes till next time remember that I will leave a link for the Antivirus Coffin Craft.
