Guest Designer - StickerKitten

Today we welcome our final guest designer for March - meet Sarah aka StickerKitten...

My name is Sarah Douglas aka StickerKitten and I live in Berkshire with my husband James. I started crafting five years ago and I mostly make cards but recently I have been trying out Project Life and scrapbook pages. You can find out more about me on my website www.stickerkitten.co.uk or on social media:

For this layout I've used my new StickerKitten Bee Garden paper pack and stamps (which will be available on my online shop from mid-April).

To begin I tore strips of honeycomb watercolour patterned paper (using a ruler to achieve a neat edge) and created a border.  I then layered a sheet of kraft honeycomb paper and pink striped paper with my photo matted on to sky blue paper.  These pics were taken on a lovely day by the seaside with our friends on a holiday in Devon.  I cut the photo and mat with Lawn Fawn stitched square dies, and it cut off a little boat so I added it back in on the side!

For the next photo I matted it onto leaf patterned paper and rounded the edges.  I stamped two polka dot washi tape strips from my Bee Garden stamp set and adhered them to the top and bottom to look like strips of tape holding it on.

To finish I added some small cut out watercolour hexagons, a large stamped floral hexagon, die cut clouds and a title using foam stickers.  I added my journaling to a spare bit of kraft card and attached it below the photo.

Huge thanks to Sarah - and we'll keep you updated on this paper collection :)

Hi folks, Laura here today.

When I first started researching for UK Scrap Addicts I came across a company called StickerKitten.  I fell in love immediately!  Even though the papers are 'only' 6x6 and I usually use 12x12 papers I knew I needed the collection in my life!

For my photos, I cut apart a collage my brother had Whatsapped me.  Each photo was taken on the same date in 25 consecutive months.  I love this concept for watching a little one grow and really noticing the changes they go through.

99% of the supplies on this layout are paper - paper layers and parts fussy cut from patterned paper.  To add some dimension and texture I added a few cork die cut stars, some enamel stars and some machine stitching.

I overcame the 6x6 paper issue by piecing together two pieces where one wasn't long enough... you barely notice the join.

Whilst creating this layout I spent a lot of time contemplating how many helium balloons one would need to lift a dinosaur off the ground...
