Double Sprouts!

Another Christmas layout with the theme of racing sprouts. Just before Christmas 2012 I found some sprout crackers when shopping in Devon. The little wind up clockwork sprouts are designed to be raced. This caused much fun at lunch time on Christmas Day.

This is the first double layout I have made for a long time. I used a Pagemap from the same year.
The patterned papers are from Bo Bunny's Mistletoe collection.

Mum and Dad

We were a small group that year as Robert and Elaine were in Brazil and Andrew was in America.

A few close up photos:

My title was created with an old Making Memories wire and bead 'Christmas' word,
The black letters and numbers are both from Doodlebug Designs Inc. and the 'Sprouts' are American Crafts glitter Thickers.

I used lots of self adhesive gems.

The tree was cut from the papers and embellished with more gems. I added a yellow glittery chipboard star.

Thanks for looking

My Little Scholar

Really catching up now with the layouts from the Cardinal Colours Retreat lat month. This double layout was again designed by SJ. The papers are from the Dots and Stripes Collection by Echo Park and included three double-sided papers, as well as letter stickers and element stickers. I flipped the red and blue papers and used the dotty side, rather than the stripes, but kept the stripes for the green paper. The kit also contained Metal Art, flat backed self adhesive brass effect, squares and dots by K & Co. The photo looks a bit wonky, but the layout is quite straight - honest!

Your Journey as a Scholar

The photos show our son, Andrew on his first day at St. Paulinus Primary School, then his first term at Dartford Grammar School and then Just about to leave home for University last Summer.The journalling tells a bit about each place and wonders what will be next. Wishing him well with all his studies and future.

Beloved - Kinetic Scrapbooking

Double layout with left hand page closed.

I was not able to take this class at the Cardinal Colours Retreat as was a little busy with my 'make and take' sessions. So I was thrilled to be able to have the kit to work with at home. It took me some time to work through all this class involved, but I am really pleased with the results. The photos are of my parents' wedding in 1957.

Left hand page - the easy bit!

I finished the layout after dark yesterday and so had to wait until today to get a photograph or three!

The kit contains a great deal of stash. The class was designed by Karen Burniston, and uses papers and other products from the Beloved IOD, Creative Imaginations line. There are about (sorry I have lost count as I have cut them up now!) 5 or 6 double sided sheets of 12x12" patterned paper, and one foiled paper. There is a DVD with the class on and two sheets of paper templates. The kit contained clear gems, a pack of epoxy stickers, another of die cut shapes and a sheet of ABC double stickers. In addition to all this there are 4 magnets, 6 pearl beads, 6 jump rings and some gold coloured wire. There was also an Ever Mark CD marker.

Right hand side with page closed.

The double sided layout involves Kinetics (Ancient Greek: κίνησις "kinesis", movement or to move). It is very clever how from paper you can make a page with moving parts. My layout has turned out a little different as I switched the papers round for the left had page (Absolutely nothing whatever to do with the fact that after identifying what each sheet was for, I still cut up the piece set aside for the left page and made it into a butterfly!).
