Welcome back my dear scrappy friends. Today I have a 12 by 12 layer and it's using a sketch from a book that has been on my bookshelf for quite a while so I am glad I'm actually using a sketch from this scrapbook page maps. As for my usual style I started by picking my photo and this starter is of myself and my daughter we are at Potato Beach and I'm just sitting on the lovely box there. The photo was taken in retail so it is quite cold and that is why we are all rubbed up. The gorgeous papers that you see me going through they are all from Crepe Paper and they are from the World Heart Collection. This gorgeous paper which I thought went really well with the rocks that I'm sitting on is called Palms and I'm going to use both sides of this paper so lucky for me I had two sheets of it and the wood grain one there that you see there that's going to be my background and then I'm going to be using the second sheet which is the reverse side as the mat and then I'm going through the papers and this one that's called Paradise I love that sort of wood look and I'm going to use that as a mat so that my photo jumps off the background of all those gorgeous palm. This sketch actually used a larger photo I believe it was five by seven my photo is actually four by six so all I'm doing here is I'm trying to work out what length to cut this paper this gorgeous palm's paper as that's going to become more or less the photo that they use and I'm going to use it more as a mat so I took out my trimmer and don't quite meet on this but I believe my measurements are five and a half inches wide and then ten inches in length. So I'm pretty happy with the way it's looking so I now have to work on the next part of this sketch and those are the gorgeous rectangles that are down the bottom there I believe I'm going to use this gorgeous yellow paper and the I'm just working out how or the measurements of my rectangles so the rectangles are going to be 2.5 inches in width by 4.5 inches in length and I'm going to cut two rectangles of this gorgeous yellow paper this layout was for a block that I had to do for Antibera's Scrap and Craft for National Scrapbooking Day I managed to get the block done on time for Antibera but unfortunately due to family dramas and unexpected circumstances I was unable to upload the video till now so I'm sorry I had been missing in action for about a couple of weeks but it was yeah it couldn't be avoided I had to be there for my family so please accept my apologies for being missing in action but back to the layout so I am now going through the FM Repack that is the crepe paper and it's from the Wild Heart Collection as I think I mentioned before and yes that film script actually stayed on this layout so I'm just back to searching for my bird rectangle could you remember the sketch I had four rectangles and this is the paper I learned up to see my fourth rectangle is actually I'm just going to leave it as the background paper so it's going to be that lovely wood grain paper that you see there this is the Paradise Paper that I met it my photo with and what I'm going to do to tie everything together I'm going to met those rectangles as well and that way it's just going to add some uniformity to this layout so by the magic of editing all my rectangles are matted with that lovely Paradise Paper and I'm also going to match the match that my photo is on so now everything has this lovely little paradise matting just a little tie a bit nothing much but it just adds that a little bit of something that ties everything together and once again I am playing with my ephemera and you will see that I struggle with this but I left it is so that you can see that I just try Indian I just go one FM and repeat that a time and just wait till I find something that I like and it's going to be the lovely heart with the I don't know if you could call it the leopard print on it on it and I sort of think oh yes and the dolly was from my stash and at this point I think oh yeah I think I like that but I'm not going to commit so I'm just going to leave it there move on and think about where I'm going to keep the dolly and the love heart which spoiler alert they stay for my title I'm going to be using the stamp set from Crepe Paper and it's called obviously Wild Hearts and I'm going to be using the stamp or the sentiment that says sweet like and this will end up being the title of my layout I pulled out my trusted little misty tool it's just the stamping tool that will help me align my stamp in the exact position and if I make the stamp over it again I will have it in the exact same spot so what I am using is the Ranger embossing ink pad and I'm now going to sprinkle it with this lovely gorgeous color it's also and a rate it's also a Ranger embossing powder and the color is called Sage and it's just a white color for this layout so of course I've got it my heat down and I'm just melting that gorgeous color into it and look at that and I cut it into a square of camera and then in my middle station for this I found that I had all these frames which I don't really use so I just thought that it's called this little wood grain frame looks perfect and tied in well with the layout so I'm just going to use my what's that called my HGG gun and stick it all down and this layout is coming together quite nicely so once again I'm playing with the ephemera practice trying to see if there's anything else in this school just pack that I can use on the layout so it's been playing with my pieces and till I find it in perfect one and it lands up in a little sign of there it is this is the one that lands up stain and that is a mustard colored sign it says when you stop and look around life is pretty amazing and I thought that was quite a nice quote so I'm just measured around the little rectangle there in the middle and I'm just going to use some wet glue and to stick it down the that little film strip was a little bit too long but I didn't mind I just thought well I'll just fix this and what I did was I snipped the ends there and then I tried to make it look even the top rectangle and the bottom rectangle and once it looked even to my eye I didn't really take any measurements I slipped the bottom little legs off and I just stuck it down using some wet glue and once I had it down I had the little spare piece from the bottom and all I do is I make sure it's going to fit there make sure everything is even or even to my eye anyway add a little bit of glue and voila there you have it can't even tell that it's been doctor I just went looking through my stash and I found some lovely little words from the Coca vanilla love always collection and I'm just going to ink them because I don't like them to be stark white with some distress oxides and the color is limited and the words I will be sticking down are perfect picture you and me together always and I quite like that they lend up at some point in time being glued down to the page and the one at the top there says my heart is full so very appropriate for another door to that way out I landed up pulling some wooden butterflies that I had in my stash and I haven't used them for a very long time so I thought oh they look quite nice there and I'm going to do some more embossing with that lovely brain jar embossing powder so I'm just going to be dabbing it using these embossing ink I'm going to sprinkle my lovely sage color embossing powder and then use my trusted heat gun to melt the powder so I'm just going to be repeating the process a bit of embossing liquid and then I'm going to sprinkle some embossing powder but this time it's from within this step going and it's called King by this gold and just a tad I just want to add a little bit of golden highlights to my butterflies and the process starts all over again I add some embossing ink and then I'm sprinkling that with this lovely embossing powder from Ranger and it's called love letter and it just adds a little bit of peak just a little bit of highlight to those beautiful little wooden butterflies from my stash also found a gorgeous wooden love heart which I'm going to do exactly the same process that is ink and boss of the sage then embossing the gold and then embossing the little sprinkle of the love letter and I'm sorry this is where the video cuts out for some reason but it's just the end it was just me blowing everything down so here are some of the close ups and I hope you enjoyed this video and thumbs up if you liked it it really does help us YouTubers
