Merry and Bright. Layout by Sue Crease
Hello,
Today I am up on the blog with my December calendar page using beautiful papers and embellishments from Uniquely Creative.
I chose to use two sheets from the collection today along with some of the Creative Cuts. They will work great on both layouts as well as cards (watch this space). I added a few things from my own stash to complement the components.
I started by tearing the Santa's Workshop paper retaining the right hand side and I added it to the B side of the Holly Bouquet and saved the part you can’t see.
I matted my photo on to kraft card and lifted it with foam pads placing it down over on the right of the page. I added my ephemera around the photo before I stuck it down. I always take a photo so I can see where it will go because when I move it to glue I never seem to remember where it went. The photo above is it.
This next photo shows it all stuck down. I am not a fan of too much white around the cuts so I trimmed some off, I lifted the top edges of most of the larger items with extra card so it wasn’t too high. I didn't want the height of foam pads here.
This next photo shows where I have added the retained piece of the Santa's workshop page after I fussy cut around the elements. You can see they have also been lifted. I had to include the red cardinal and the postage stamp.
As there are trees in the picture I am using, I cut some from white card and white glitter card and placed them along the bottom of the page lifting them as I went. I inked the edges of the white ones. I added ephemera around them too.
This next photo shows one of the sentiments which, again, I have trimmed around and, this time, I added it to some red for a mat.
To finish the layout I added sprigs cut from the kraft card and the red card which had been used for mats. I also added some black gems and tiny snowflakes. Thanks for stopping by today. If you get a chance, pop into the shop and checkout the other papers in the collection. If you can't get to the shop check out the online shop. It’s full of good stuff.
Sue.
