Christmas Jumper Day | Keighley Brennan | Embossing Folders

Hey UKSA, Keighley here and today I’m sharing my layout using embossing folders. 

I had pre handstitched the background using a Paige Evans cutfile as a template, I didn’t have a layout in mind when I created it, I decided to scrap a photo of my children in their Christmas jumpers last year, my handstitching reminded me of a Christmas jumper. 

I had a rummage in my stash and found some old embossing folders my mum had given me many years ago, I’ve never used embossing folders before, so it was a very new technique for me. I decided to keep it quite simple by embossing a handmade tag to tuck in behind my photo. This was the perfect subtle touch for my layout.

Out & About | Keighley Brennan | Large Photo

 

Hey Scrap Addicts, Keighley here today sharing my layout using a large photo. I’ve used an 10x8 print and I’ve cut it down to allow a white board around my layout. 

My layout came together quite quickly because I didn’t want to cover up to much of the photo. So I kept it simple. I’ve added a title to the white space at the top of my photo. Underneath my title I’ve added a rub on phrase which I think adds a subtle detail.

 

I printed my journalling onto vellum and attached using my Tim Holts tiny attacher. I also found some silver Washi tape again to add a subtle detail to that area of the page.

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.

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.
