Alfie Bear | Keighley Brennan | Lisa Fonseca Style Page Element

 

Hey UKSA, Keighley here and today I’m sharing my layout for our theme this month. I’m a huge fan of Lisa Fonseca, her layouts are absolutely beautiful. I knew straight away I wanted to make a bear, I call my nephew Alfie Bear and I had the perfect photo to go with. 

I used my Silhouette to cut a bear, cutting the different pieces in different papers and cardstock, I then attached the pieces all together to create the bear. I attached my bear on to white cardstock and stitched around the bear and all the details and then cut around the bear leaving a small white border. 

I created a background on the silhouette and backed with patterned paper. The collection I used is Legendary by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. I finished off by adding some fussy cut stars and some white Bramble Fox stars.

If you would like to see how my layout came together please check out my process video here on the UK Scrap Addicts YouTube Channel. 

Don’t forget to share your layouts over on our Facebook page, or tag us on Instagram if you’ve played along this month. 

You Are... | Keighley Brennan | Handmade Embellishments

Hey Everyone, Keighley here today, it’s great to be back! Here’s my layout for this months theme of handmade embellishments. I chose to create some tassel paper clips and a tassel bow using embroidery thread. 

I then added those to a banner I made, which I took inspiration from a layout I found on Pinterest. I’ve used All Girl by Echo Park, perfect for scrapping my this cute photo of my daughter Darcie. Sticking with the tassel theme I also added tassels to the bottom of the banner. 

I added lots of stickers from the collection and I finished off by adding some gems and some Bramble Fox stars from my stash.

Love | Keighley Brennan | Vertical

Hey UKSA, Keighley here today sharing my layout for our theme this month. I love vertical layouts, they work really well on A4 layouts. I started off by adding a strip of patterned paper down the right side of my layout and added lots of black paint splatters, I did need to come back at the end and add a couple more splatters because I covered up quite a lot of them. 

I punched circles of patterned paper in different sizes and also punched my photo into a circle. I attached these down the join of the pattern paper strip and the cardstock, over lapping them and popping some up on foam. I also looked for any circle elements within the die cuts and stickers and tucked those in too. 

I finished off by adding some fussy cut butterflies and some puffy hearts that were gold but I coloured in with a black sharpie so they worked well with my layout, something I’ve been doing a lot recently to get my stash used up.

Seesaw | Keighley Brennan | More Than One Collection

Hey UKSA, Keighley here sharing my layout for our theme this month to use more

than one collection. I started out with pulling all my Shimelle collections from my stash, some are just bits and pieces and others are nearly full collections. My thought process was because they was from the same designer the colours should match really well. 

I used lots of different papers to back my photo, from Little by Little, Box of Crayons and field trip, I used a large strip of paper from the Field trip Collection which included lots of different colours, this made it so much easier to pick embellishments from all the different collections because everything matched so well. I created three clusters of embellishments from all the different collections and then I decided to look into my stash and pulled out lots of different hearts from all different collections such as Pebbles, Amy Tan and Pink Paislee. 

I enjoyed creating this layout so much more than I thought I would, the only issue with pulling out lots of different collections and digging through my stash was it was so much messier than working with just one collection.

Enjoy The Little Things | Keighley Brennan | Paper Folding

Hey Everyone, Keighley here sharing my layout for this months theme, Paper Folding. I have never attempted paper folding on a scrapbook layout before, so this months theme was a challenge for me. 

I was being a little ambitious and decided I would attempt butterflies. I practised on some printer paper first, and felt I was getting the hang off it enough to give it a go on patterned paper. I didn’t take into account the difference in paper thickness the patterned paper was very thick compared to the printer paper, which made it slightly more difficult. I’d definitely recommend using a thinner paper possibly from a paper pad rather than single sheets. 

I backed a cutfile a bought from the silhouette store (by Jillibean Soup) for my title, I felt it was very fitting for the photo of Darcie covered in mud. I added some stickers and enamel dots and my folded butterflies around the page.

Snow Cute | Keighley Brennan | Sparkle

Hey Everyone, Keighley here today sharing my first layout as part of the UKSA Creative Team, using this months theme of sparkles.

I knew straight away I wanted to created a shaker, sequins add lots of sparkle to a layout. I created a large snowflake shaker with a mix of 3 different sequins, added glitter Thicker’s to create my title and for even more sparkle I used a very old bottle of Stickles glitter glue on some of the paper snowflakes.
