Scrapbooking Stickers
 
 

Chris shows us how to think outside the box and use those Christmas papers for a not so Christmasy layout. She also demonstrates the effectiveness of a simple layering technique - something that can be adapted to any page.

 

Collage Scrapbooking and Layering

 

This layout was created using Basic Grey Fresh Snow, Wonderland, Holly, and Polar Blue papers from the Blitzen Collection, Mom Junkitz Twill Snapz, Creative Imaginations Art Warehouse I.D. Plate, red ribbon, gros grain, red and cream ribbon, brads, black Zig writer, Xyron 150 and Bo Bunny Brothers stickers.

 

Use the Basic Grey Polar Blue for the background (BG). Cut a 21cm x 23cm square from Basic Grey Wonderland and adhere to the layout (LO) as shown. Mat photos with Basic Grey Holly and Basic Grey Fresh Snow placing mats and photos on angles as desired. Overlap the second set of photo mats slightly over first, as shown in the LO. Attach a brad in the top right corner.

 

Run two lengths of red ribbon and one length of gros grain through the Xyron 150. Cut one length of the red ribbon as desired and thread through the Junkitz Twill Snapz. Adhere to the top of LO. Place a small piece of double sided tape on the Junkitz Twill Snapz so it sits securely to page. Adhere the gros grain underneath and then the second length of red ribbon along the bottom of LO.

 

Mat the 'Oh Brother' sticker from your sheet of Bo Bunny Brothers cardstock stickers with Basic Grey Fresh Snow and adhere on an angle to the top right of LO. Mat the 'B Monogram' sticker with Basic Grey Fresh Snow, attach a brad in each corner of the ricrac and adhere to the LO, overlapping the photos slightly. Mat the three smaller quote stickers with the Basic Grey Fresh Snow allowing for an extra 1cm at one end to attach a small length of the red and cream ribbon with a brad.

 

Cut a small enough piece from the Basic Grey Wonderland to fit inside the I.D. Plate. Journal as desired (I have journalled the date the photos were taken). Thread a small piece of gros grain through each end and adhere with double sided tape to the bottom right of LO.

 

Make you own photo corner from the leftovers of the Basic Grey Wonderland paper and adhere to the top left corner of the first photo. Attach a brad in the corner. Cut a small journal block from the Basic Grey Fresh Snow paper so it fits nice and snug just behind the first photo mats. Journal as desired.

 

Although ultimately the Basic Grey Blitzen Collection is a Christmas range, I love the versatility of the colours and the designs. It allows the papers freedom to be used for many other layouts other then that of Christmas. This particular range worked so well with the colours and the distressed look of the Bo Bunny Brothers stickers that I simply couldn�t resist using them for this particular layout.
