Vintage Layout from Heather
Hello Bloggers
Heather is with us today with one of her fab projects & she explains:
'Hi everyone ,
Today I decided to go Vintage
, creating a layout with the ‘Top hat & Automobile Collection. These
magnificent new papers are perfect for Vintage / distressed/and grunge art.
I discovered this old postcard,
which I felt was just perfect for this layout. I wanted to create an impression
of an envelope, with oodles of stamping and an old grungy /messy background
suggesting age and days gone by.
Women would gather
together for afternoon tea and support each other.
The fashions back then
have always fascinated me with such amazing detail. Although quite impractical,
still very beautiful with delicate hand crafted lace and the hairstyles of the
day were beautifully exquisite.
A little bit of trivia about me :
As part of our
hairdressing registration exams we were required to reproduce a Vintage
hairstyle, and I truly adored creating from this era . I have always loved
detail, and I guess I intuitively transferred my love of detail from my
hairdressing days into my scrapbooking !!
he he he !!
This vintage distressed
clock fitted in perfectly with my theme, mimicking the time and the layers of
that era. I altered the Tim Holtz metal
frame with gesso and paint, and stacked it over the clock element.
Again I distressed the
papers and layered the diecuts to create dimension and interest .
Another layered cluster
with papers, diecuts, chipboard, finished off with a metal brad .
Papers and items used
Tim Holtz metal Ornate Plate
Other items.
Tim Holtz die
cut/ metal brads, Sizzix die cuts, Brads
2Crafty
chipboard, Kraft paper .
Thanks for
popping by and I truly hope you are inspired to buy some of these papers and
have a play.

What a fabulous LO - well done Heather. The flap at the top with a die cut makes me want to open up the LO & get more!! The multiple layers are awesome with their tears & the die cuts terrific. Totally fabulous but what else did I expect. I think my favourite element is the Ornate plate on top of the Old World clock. The music washi tape adds just a hint of frivolity.

Love Layout from Stephanie
Hello Bloggers
Stephanie explains her LO:
It's Stephanie here today to share a quick layout I did using the “Ode
to a Summer's Day Collection” designed by Denise Ann for Meg’s Garden. I used
the “Buds of May” paper for my background which I distressed using my distress
tool and distress ink in Vintage Photo. I also tore the top of the paper down a
bit and added a small piece of light green cardstock behind the tear and placed
one of my small handmade rosebuds between the tear. To start my layers off I
caught off one of the lace corners of the Bond 25 square white doilies. I then
cut a strip 8¾” x 1½” from the “Summers Day” paper. The other long strip is
actually two small strips of paper cut from the “Summer Bouquet” paper and
placed behind the 6¾” x 3” piece of the bottom left corner of the “Summer
Beauty” paper to give the illusion of being one long strip. I distressed all of
the layers (except the doily) using my distress tool and distress ink.
I
love fussy cutting the flowers from the “Summer Bouquet” papers which I did for
this layout and popped them up with pop dots. I then added the white Azalea
flower and the two pink roses between the fussy cut flowers. I used one of the
butterflies from the “Elements” butterfly sheet and glued it to the layout only
down the middle so I could bend the wings up. I cut the “Love” title using my
Cricut machine and I was all done!
