Great Things Never Came from Comfort Zones | ScrappyNerdUK | April 2018 (Tags)

Hello fellow Scrap Addicts

This months theme is....Tags!! I will show you how easy it is to put together a layout using tags as the main focus and in my Youtube video I show a live process to demonstrate how quick a layout comes together with the use of tags.

I used 2 pieces of cardstock and matted the white on top of the grey one to give it a border around the edges. Next I added a strip of grey patterned paper across the bottom third of the page and laid my tags on top.




I chose to keep the colours simple on this layout and went the main theme of grey and white but added in some black and pink accents with the embellishments I used.






I used a photograph of my wellies in the recent snow we had as the colours really matched this layout. I mainly start my layout and then choose my photo as this seems to work best for me. There is no right or wrong way - that is completely your preference. 

And here is the final layout. Very simple and clean and I personally love the finsished result. Don’t forget to head on over to Youtube to watch the Process video and if you haven’t already found us on Facebook then head over there and give our page a like. You can upload your tag layouts there too so we can see what you have been creating.

Embrace Today / Sketch / Jackie Ashton

Hi scrappers, Jackie here with this month theme - a sketch by PageMaps.  I find using a sketch a great starting point, especially when my mojo goes for a wonder.  They are a great way to get myself going again, either by following the sketch exactly or by starting with a few of the basic elements on the sketch design and going from there.




Heres my take on the sketch, I’ve followed the sketch as closely as possible.  




The paper ranges I’ve used are a few old collections from Studio Calico and Echo Park which were dated 2013, obviously needed to be used, along with some a recent collection from Pink Fresh Studios - Boys Forte.

For the title I’ve used a Acrylic words from Bella Blvd, which I have had in my stash for a while.

And here are a few close ups 





Hope you have enjoyed seeing the different way the design team have used this sketch this month, and how versatile sketches can be.

Till next month
