GDT - Joanne Bain - Prima Engraver

Hi again!!
Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to Olga for her patience with me this month and also for allowing me to be her guest designer. You are a one wonderful lady and this kit was AMAZING!!! I loved it. You know my style to a tee.
For my last project for the month I created another layout. The Prima Engraver collection was truly amazing to work with. So easy to use and perfect for my fussy cutting addiction.
"LOVE" layout by Joanne Bain

Oh how do I love the browns in this collection and I chose to go with a full colour photo this time to make the photo pop. Once again lots of layers and fussy cutting. 

To add extra detail to the behind my photo I used a gorgeous Bo Bunny doily and also the Prima Engraver logo, the dark chocolate of this worked beautifully.

I created some contrasting rolled paper scrolls from scraps of patterned paper to add an extra wow to the page.

GDT - Joanne Bain - Prima Engraver Mini Album

Hi again everyone!!
Joanne here with you today to share a mini album I created using the Prima Engraver Collection. Because of the beautiful neutral tonings of this collection it makes it perfect to do something along these lines with. All papers and embellishments mix and match so well together making creating so much easier.
This is quiet a photo lengthy post but I hope you enjoy!!
"Family" Mini Album by Joanne Bain

I created a beautiful dimensional floral arrangement for the front cover of the album. I even incorparated some of the Prima packaging.

I have made a pocket and insert a tag for easy hidden journalling under my photo on the left side, while on the right side I created and mini album on the page to add a bit of extra wow. It also has a tag pocket for more journalling.

I love the patterns on the papers they are stunning. Almost to nice to cut up.

I have not over embellished the pages just added a few bits and pieces here and there.

I created even more pockets on these pages one is for journalling again while the other is just to tuck a photo away or a tag that has a beautiful floral print on it. I love the ticket stubbs.

More journalling tags hidden and layers of the patterned papers in the backgrounds for added interest.

On the right side I created a big pocket to tuck away and memorabilia that there might be or as I used mine for extra photos.

So there you have my finished mini album. I hope it has inspired you to have a go at creating one of your own.

I added hints of dusty rose ribbon throughout the album to add a feminine splash of colour and a few of the Prima Resin Treasures as they just blended so well with the look I was going for. I distressed all the edges and then dust lightly with dark chocolate ink.

'Bundle Kraft paper and some fun!!!

So I am today going to show you something that I was so excited to discover when playing with Amy Tangerine's Yes Please Bundle Kraft Paper, I did this layout for another one on my design teams but I couldn't not share with you all the technique in this layout!!!

 

I love Kraft papers and I discovered these Amy Tangerine ones a couple of month ago and though "ohhhh no, I missed all of these'', so I was delighted that they were new ones in the Yes Please range. Looking at the paper I knew I wanted to colour it in some way whether is was just a little splash or with water colour, but I didn't want to wait for the paper to dry so that reminded me that I am the proud owner of Copic markers....

 

(Based on Inspired Blueprints Sketch #86)

Just with 4 markers this is how the background worked out, the white seems to resist the markers  a little bit which means you don't have to be too finicky in your colouring technique....

Don't forget to mix up your fonts, here I have used the Amy Tangerine Yes Please Printed Chipboard Goodness Woodgrain  thickers and the Prima Engraver Canvas Alphabet Stickers, its a great way to highlight a key word too.

March Guest Designer - Joanne Bain

Friday Greeting!!
I am thrilled that Olga asked me to return to be a Guest Designer here for the month of March. 
Here is a little about me...

My name is Joanne but my friends call me Jo. I am a very proud mother of 2 (the best kids in the world I am slightly bias) and I am happily married to my best friend and have been for 19 years. He is the best husband a girl could ask for and is very supportive of my need to scrapbook. We live in sunny Queensland on the northern side of Brisbane along with our 2 dogs and more pet birds then I can count. I have been a scrapbooker for 12 years and I would say I am slightly addicted to this craft...lol. I have tried my hand at digital designing and scrapbooking but I much prefer the look, touch and feel of paper.
My preferred scrapping preference is 12 x 12 layouts and creating off the page, but I do enjoy altering items and making the odd card. I am not locked into a specific scrapping style, as I am happy to give anything a go. I would describe my style as structured full of detail and dimension, with lots of layers and fussy cut paper cutting if the papers have a pattern that allows me to do so.
Presently I design for Kaisercraft, Manor House Creations & Bella Paperie.
My Blog - Scrappin For Me
So this month Olga created a stunning kit for me to work with, the main feature being the Prima Engraver Collection. This collection is stunning!! I love the clocks and the neutral browns....aaahhh really enjoying working with this kit.
So today I have a layout to share.
"TIME" layout by Joanne Bain

Materials used - Prima Engraver Collection - Calligraphy, Cartouche, Atlas, Arcade, Prima Fabric #564575 Flowers Light Brown & #565602 Daisies. Twiddleybitz Roam Clock Large With Hands, Kaisercraft Pearls Blush.

All products are available from the Sassy Scrapper Shop.

I cut the Twiddleybitz clock into three pieces and disgarded the solid the centre piece. This allowed me to use it more as a frame. I chose to leave the chipboard natural as it worked nicely with this collection. To give this page a feminine feel I added the Blush pearls to the frame.

As I have a love for dimension I fussy cut the clocks and other circular pieces from the patterned paper and created lots of layers. I then topped with the beautiful Prima flowers.

All elements on this page have been hand cut, call my crazy but i love how it turned out.

Well thats all for today but I will be back next week with another project to share.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend

Joanne
