Sweet Girl | Roxy C (scrapbunny94 | Moodboard

Hey all, Roxy here again! xo 

I'm so excited to show you my layout!

I have never used a moodboard before and I got the chance to create the lovely pastel, sparkly one! It makes me so happy to see all the team's layouts! 

I hope you'll take inspiration too! 

Here is the process video for my layout  https://youtu.be/hWeiFmyHMRU
Don't forget to carry on reading to see the up close and personal pictures! Those sequins are so sparkly! 

I decided that I wanted to use a photo from a childhood holiday, so the sequins could stand out and match the glistening water in the background of the photo. Also so I could use all those beautiful flowers!! 

I decided to start of creating a pastel background to match the sequins and flowers. Derwent artbars came in handy for this. They are like watercolours, but so much easier to use. All you need is the artbars, water and your fingers! Just scribble on to your page, spray with water and blend, blend, blend! 

I backed my photo with pastel papers from the Oh My Heart 6x6 paper pad. Then went crazy with the ephemra from the same collection. I'd be so happy if they just came out with a pack of flower die cuts! One can dream...

Lastly I went crazy adding dots of glossy accents and sticking a variety of sequins on. You can never add enough sparkle!!

Thanks for reading! I hope you'll give the moodboard a whirl!

Leave a Little Sunshine | Niki Rowland | Sewing

Hey there UK Scrap Addicts, Niki here with you today sharing a layout and video made with machine stitching. I love all kinds of stitching on my layouts and do a lot of hand stitching and machine stitching as well as faux stitching every so often too.

For the layout 'Leave a little Sunshine...' I went for machine stitching. I fussy cut all those scalloped strips from a sheet of Paige Evans Oh My Heart collection, trimmed them and stuck them down onto a white background sheet. I then ran each strip through the sewing machine, pulled all the threads through to the back of the layout and secured them in place, and then built my layout on top of my machine stitched background.

I have a process video of my layout for you to view: 

 

I hope you've enjoyed my stitched layout and the video on how I went about putting it all together and give machine stitching a go.

Happy scrapping xx

Cute | Beth Moloney | Sewing

Hi everyone! Thanks for joining me for my first post as a team member for UK Scrap Addicts. As I'm sure you already know our theme for April is SEWING and the other girls have been producing some gorgeous layouts this month.

This layout turned out completely different to how I originally intended. I had decided to do a hand stitched background so I drew out a pattern with my Silhouette, pierced all the holes and literally spent 2 weeks sewing around all of the shapes (did I mention sewing is not my thing?!?) but then when I filmed the video only half of it was in the frame so I had to scrap that idea and start again.

I machine stitched a messy border around the edge of the white cardstock in pale blue thread...

I also added a few lines of stitching on the photograph where I knew I wanted the title and some embellishments to go...

Sticking fun foam under the photo and flowers helps give the layout some dimension...

The sequins and glossy stickers add some texture to the layout...

Make sure you head over to the UK Scrap Addicts YouTube channel to check out my process video and come back soon to see what the rest of the team has been up to!
