Beautiful You | Pink Paislee/Paige Evans Whimsical | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I have a new layout to share with you using the gorgeous Whimsical collection by Paige Evans/Pink Paislee. I will be working with this collection over the next few weeks so stay tuned for some inspiration each Friday!

I have had this gorgeous photo of my niece printed out for a little while, in this photo she is about 8 months old and she is almost 2 now! I just love this photo and it was the perfect one to use with the Whimsical collection and cut file. I chose a large cut file title this week, I cut the title out on white cardstock and then used the Whimsical 6' x 6' paper pad to back all the letters. I used lots of the different patterns and colours.

I kept the embellishing fairly minimal on this layout because of the title taking a lot of the limelight! The 'Pretty' die-cut from the ephemera pack was so suited for this page...since its about beautiful Olivia, I think she is pretty too of course!  I placed it so that it was right near Olivia's eyes in the photo.

I added some of the puffy sticker embellishments, more die-cuts, cardstock stickers and also some of the chipboard stickers too. I mainly used some of the small things like banners and hearts so that it would not hinder any of the title or photo.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to purchase any 6' x 6' paper pad from the Sassy store and try out a layout like this one!
Happy creating!

Artistic | Pink Paislee/Paige Evans Whimsical | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I have a new layout to share with you using the gorgeous Whimsical collection by Paige Evans/Pink Paislee. I will be working with this collection over the next few weeks so stay tuned for some inspiration each Friday!

There are lots of crafty elements in the Whimsical collection and I wanted a reason to use them so I chose this frame banner cut file to showcase some small photos of some of my favourite scrapbook layouts! I cut out the cut file from white cardstock and then backed most of the spaces with the photos. I did leave 3 spots open and added the square chipboard pieces behind the remaining 3 spaces.

I absolutely love that sticker that says 'I Craft Therefore I Am' so it definitely had to make it on this layout! I layered it over the top of the pink chipboard square. I took out everything that was craft related and trialed them on the page. Some pieces made it on and others didn't! I used some of the chipboard pieces, die-cuts and stickers to embellish.  

The 'Artistic' die-cut word sums up this page perfectly since its all about crafting and art! It was the perfect title! I also added the chipboard word 'Create' and some other craft related phrases. The scissors in this collection are just adorable so they also had to make it on this page! I liked that I could a set to the top left corner and another set in the bottom right corner! 

The paint palette is super cute and I like how the Create word overlaps onto the paint palette. The button chipboard and stickers add another crafty/handmade feel to the page so some of those are scattered around.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to purchase any 6' x 6' paper pad from the Sassy store and try out a layout like this one!
Happy creating!

Always Lovely | Pink Paislee/Paige Evans Whimsical | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I have a new layout to share with you using the gorgeous Whimsical collection by Paige Evans/Pink Paislee. I will be working with this collection over the next few weeks so stay tuned for some inspiration each Friday!

I wanted to include a cut file design into this week's layout design and since there are quite a few cloud stickers and ephemera in this collection, I decided on this cute cloud cut file to compliment some of the cloud elements. I absolutely LOVE that striped rainbow paper and love how the clouds look with some colour added!

Once the clouds were backed with the rainbow paper, I then added foam adhesive underneath the entire cut file so that it would be raised up from the background cardstock. I chose a picture of my sister and I taken on her 40th birthday last year. She is the one on the right.

My title is made up of 2 different pieces, the Lovely die- cut word and the Always chipboard word. As well as the cloud elements, I also added a few hearts in for extra dimension and colour. I added chipboard ones, puffy ones and die-cut ones. The flair button down in the bottom area is from my stash.   

Lastly I splattered some black mist around and added the date stamp from the date the photo was taken. 
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to purchase any 6' x 6' paper pad from the Sassy store and try out a layout like this one!

Pocket Pages | Elle's Studio All My Heart | Agnus Kasprzak

Hi again :) I've been a busy scrapper documenting the start of the year with a gorgeous assortment of items from the Elle's Studio All My Heart collection. 

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Elle's Studio products because they have you covered on all bases including paper, cards, stamps, alphas and a range of accents and really like the way their colours and graphics work with a variety of different photos/themes which is perfect for this type of project.  

My monthly title card came together quickly using horizontal strips of patterned paper from the 6x6 paper stack, tags, die-cuts, stickers, a stamp and topped off with an awesome wood veneer!

Because the colours on this collection are mainly all on the cool side, I added some warmth with the wood veneers and a sheet of wood grain paper from another Elle's Studio collection, then used a palette knife to spread some texture paste through a 6x6" stencil to give my background some dimension. 

I kept my design clean and simple this month because I want to focus on adding more stories into our album this year. 

I split all of my 6x4" backgrounds with horizontal strips of patterned paper - I find that combining a solid coloured base with a pattern that has a white base always seems to work well. 

I often look for an element that can be repeated throughout my pockets and added more wood veneer accents to this side of the page to help tie everything in together. 

Making use of the fun stamp set to add a bit of detail to one of the filler cards included in the January kit. 

I filled one of my pockets with a mix of cute wood confetti and a sprinkle of sequins to make a fun shaker card, sealing the top with my fuse tool.

I also create a simple flip pocket to add an extra photo and journaling. I cut out a 3x4" pocket form a 12x12" page protector ensuring that the top of the pocket had an extra inch or so, so that I could fold and secure it to the back of the journal card.
