Sunset Swing

While going through old photos I discovered these photos that my son took of my granddaughter Cadence. I thought, why haven't I scrapped these photos, I love them!

 I love the tone in the photos, taken at sunset at one of our local parks. I love the pure joy on her face on the swing. 

The only reason I can think of is that at the time I didn't have a paper or embellishments to compliment them and along came Irrevocable Beauty - Petrarch and the laser cut shapes to match Irrevocable Beauty - Laser Cut Shapes 

I know I raved about the laser cut shapes in my last blog post,,,, but for an aging scrapbooker, who's eyes aren't what they use to be, either that or I need new glasses. These laser cut pieces are a god send.

I'm in love with the new stamps that go with the Irrevocable Beauty range  Irrevocable Beauty - Wander - Stamp Set  and mixed Snapshots of Yesterday - Stamp Set I felt they were perfect!

I'm terrible at getting the sewing machine out when I'm in the throws of creating. The Crazy Stitch - Stamp Set is the cheats way of putting stitches on your layout and I'm all for cheating in this way!

I stamped the Camera and the word 'snapshots' on patterned paper and cut them out. Once glued down I decided that corner of the page needed a little more, so I masked the images of the camera and the word and stamped the daisies over the top. 

Masking is a technique used when stamping. Place a piece of scrap paper over what you don't want stamped and the stamped image looks like it's behind the original image. 

Omgosh,,, the teeny, tiny ladybugs are adorable on the Irrevocable Beauty - Laser Cut Shapes I just added a little curve to the shapes and popped them on the page.

My turn up on the 49 and Market blog again with a layout using another of the new release paper from 49 and Market - Vintage Artistry - Sky, released at Creativation 2020. 

I used a thin mat around the photo in white card, leaving more card showing along the bottom edge, which I ripped rather than trimmed. 

The photo is of my daughter Erin on her wedding day. I was lucky enough to get to play with the new release and to have my layout as part of the display at Creativation. I have scrapped this photo before, it's one of my favourites of her. I thought it perfect for this paper and the display.

The subtle green tones in the paper were brought out by using green flowers from 49 and Market

I tend to keep working on embellishment corners until I feel they're done. A little bit here and a little bit there. Until I feel the layout is balanced. I'll cut up bits of chippy and glue it in place. Cut a flower in half, if I need to and let it poke out from somewhere. 

I don't like things too flat, I like to give things life. So dragonflies and butterflies wings need to look like they are in flight. So I add a curve to the wings. 

Part of the embellishments used on my page is from the Serendipitous Collection  

I've fallen in love with these and all of the beautiful die cuts. Genius!!,,, I love myself a little fussy cutting now and again, but the fact that 49 and Market have got such fine detail already cut, to pop out and use instantly is insane!!! And not only that they have given you elements on the page so that you can layer. Even little arrows to tell you just which ones were designed to layer..... Love, love, love :0)
