Smash that Selfie! | RamblingsofGeo | Selfies

Hey everyone!

I hope your all well, and enjoying September's challenge so far!

I have completed the challenge in my Purple cutesy smash book, and I have used 4 snapchat photos printed on a 4x6 and cut into 4 individual 2x3 photos printed on my own printer at home.

I decided to use mixed media for this layout challenge; i used some Vicki Boutin Creativefx in Rose gold through a Bramble Fox stencil. I also did some stamping, and used the Vicki Boutin Stamp and die set with a flower style stamp. The brightest ink i had to hand was the Vicki Boutin Color wheel inks which i got for a really good deal in Hobbycrafts clearance section a while ago along with the Die/stamp set! - I then flicked some Shimmerz 'Its mint to be' over the top.

I backed the papers on a floral printed paper, and then layered up some washi tape behind the photos.

I used some stickers from the Shimelle sticker book, and some Amy Tangerine puffy stickers from an older collection of hers. I tried to used colours that would compliment the page on the left hand side of the Smashbook layout.

 There is a process video of this layout getting put together, enjoy!

Wisley | RamblingsofGeo | Sketch

Hello everyone,

Today is my turn for the month with my take on Laura's Sketch.

I decided to use my Smash book to document my Recent rip to Wisley Gardens.

I followed the sketch by using the Wisley Gardens leaflets to create the starts around the side of the photos.

I used quite simple tools for this too -

The above tools are -

Small star punch from Hobby craft
Sizzix Star Dies
Crafters Companion Diamond press Die cutter (bought from the Range)
Cutesy Smash Book - bought from Amazon

I layered up the different sized stars cut from the Wisley garden Map, to create a flower style, and then stuck them with a tacky glue which will dry clear.

They do! | RamblingsofGeo | Tic-Tac-Toe

Hello,

Georgia here (Aka RamblingsofGeo) with my take on the Tic Tac Toe challenge for August.

I went for the central line of 'Arrows, Circles, and Washi' and decided to document my friends wedding in my SMASH book.

I covered 4 pages in total, i used stickers from the Amy Tangerine books for my Arrows which you can see on this page.

A pocket page on the right houses the invitation, and ceremony booklet . The pocket is a SMASH branded pocket bought from HobbyCraft awhile go. I stuck a photo over the pocket to decorate it and help it blend in to the layouts. On the left page i used a part of the cake box as my background, and the photo booth photo to document the evening!

I used their save the date as a flap to put part of their ceremony booklet in with  photo of them from their engagement shoot. You can see the stars and strips print which was paper from the burgers in the evening, i took a sheet and cut large circles out to use as my background.

You can see here the double page spread, the left is the Circles page, the right has my Arrows and a strip of pink washi tape is along the side of the photo as i felt it complemented the cupcake casing and flower petals.

 Check out the video on our UK Scrap Addicts youtube channel to see my construct the pages, and see how quickly they come together!

Dinotastic! | RamblingsofGeo | 4x6 Photo

Hello everyone, Welcome to June's theme of 4x6 photos!

4x6 photo layouts, quite easy you would think... however when you document in a SmashBook it's so normal to ram loads of photos in it. Having the opportunity to only use one photo was somewhat of a challenge for me.

I picked a photo of my godchildren at a birthday party as i knew i had a couple of bits of memorabilia to bulk it out with. I used one single 4x6 photo, a leaflet of the party organisers, a cupcake topper, and lots, and LOTS of random embellishments.

Its quite a full on page full of embellishments, but i think i made it work..

If you want to have a look how i threw this together, then check out the video below!

Afternoon tea with a difference! | RamblingsofGeo | Monochrome

Hello everyone,

My name's Georgia, this is my first blog post as a Creative member for UKSA, I have a youtube channel called RamblingsofGeo which has Vlogs and scrappy related things on there. 😀

This month's focus is Monochrome, as you will have seen from the other Creative team members posts, its not necessarily black and white, and even less so with my layout, as it's very pink!

I have made a layout to show a day out at the London BB Bakery afternoon tea bus tour I went to for a friend's 30th birthday. I kept leaflets, a cake box, a leaflet/doily, all to use as part of my layout.

Full page

I used the Purple Cutesy Style Smashbook, and picked a random page near the back of the book that was cupcake themed (on the left hand page) The page I used was fairly blank, so i set about creating my layout on it as it went with the book's theming. 

I used a variety of pink embellishments from my stash, above you can see a faux suede bow from the Amy Tangerine Hustle & Heart collection and the pink coffee cup with gold inlay which was also from the same collection. 

I decided to use instax mini photos which i printed off on my Instax share SP-2 printer for my layout. They work quite well for a Smash book, and the Smashbook Mini's as it allows you plenty of room for other memorabilia like leaflets, and tickets. 

The background is made up from a cake box that we were given with our left overs, it was nice and clean which meant I was able to cut it up and stick it in to add some bright pink to the page. I then used a doily, and part of the pink napkin to give it some texture behind the cake photo. 

I hope you enjoyed my very pink Smashbook layout for the Monochrome theme this month.

Don't forget to check out my process video on the UK Scrap Addicts channel, (Click here) and keep an eye out for more Monochrome themed layouts for the rest of May!
