Awesome Boys| Zoe Hailey Zola28 | Stamp Technique

So are you like me, someone who owns a bunch of stamps but hardly ever uses them?
I was glad to be challenged to dust off some stamps and make this layout, which I have to say is one of my favourites that I have made recently.

I created this stamped border by covering my card stock with a scrap of square paper and then used the stamping off technique, leaving a beautiful alphabet edging. The stamps were perfect because they had both capital and lower case letters, making it easier to fill in any gaps.

For my background I seed my favourite splat stamps and heat embossed creating the red and turquoise splats which I love!

I worked with Shimelle's Field Trip collection which was perfect for these photos of my son and his bestie enjoying some time at the farm together. I love how  bright and bold the design is and how heavily embellished the layout is. Rockets and Dinosaurs were perfect for this page!

To finish my page I added more ink splats and sequins because no page is complete without sequins in my opinion!

Let's make the most of those stamps this month and get creating with them, be sure to share your stamped creations on the UKSA Facebook Group.

Happy Scrapping

The big 40 | Zoe Hailey Zola28 | More Than One Collection

Hi Everyone,

Zoe here on the blog today and sharing a layout I made with more than one collection for our February theme.

Admittedly, I don't mix collections often as my preference is to work with one collection per layout, so I took the easy route and used a cutfile! (There's no need to make this harder than it needs to be, right!?)

I absolutely adore this Paige Evans star cutfile and I found backing it quite a therapeutic process. It helped that I joined a live scrap stream and sat watching another scrapbooker whilst doing this...

I used Bella Blvd "Squeeze The Day" and Echo Park "Teen Spirit" which is apt considering this photo is of my brother, at his fancy dress Halloween themed 40th Birthday party!  I kept my colour scheme to black, white and yellow to bring the supplies together easily.

I popped the whole cut file up on foam pads to add even more dimension to my page and made some epoxy stickers for my embellishment clusters to add further dimension. To ensure some of my embellishments stood out on a very busy page, I added black outlining.

A simple layout which made mixing collections fun to do.

Be sure to share your layouts in the UKSA Facebook Group, I'd love to see what you create.
