You Colour My World | ScrappyNerdUK (Claire) | Tic Tac Toe

Hiya friends,

I can't believe we are nearly at the end of August already.....this means its nearly time for a new theme!

We still have a couple more layouts to share with you for this months theme of Tic Tac Toe. And I hope you like bright colourful rainbow layouts?

So I chose to use Circles, Rainbow and Multiple Alphas.

I started with punching different sized circles from blue, red, pink, yellow and blue patterned papers. I used a 3 inch, 2 inch and 1 inch circle and adhered these onto a piece of white cardstock.

I already loved how this layout started out.



Then I set to work on the title and embellishing. I chose to use 3 different alphas and wanted to use all glittered ones but change the font of each word. I love this bright title and different directions the words run make it more interesting too.

The photo, which can be seen just at the bottom of this photo, was layered with co-ordinating patterned papers that match the circles.

Each circle was then drawn around with a 0.8 black fineliner to help make them pop and give them more of a messy look.

I also added in some accent words from Pink Fresh Studio and used the co-ordinating hearts and stars to create a colour on colour embellishing.

It was then all finished off with a couple of tiny word stickers and some splashes of black ink!

Be sure to head on over to Youtube to watch the process video too. 

See you next month!!

Beautiful Smile | ScrappyNerdUK (Claire) | 6x4 Photo

Hello ScrapAddicts,

Its my turn on the blog today with my layout based on a single 4x6 photo. This seems pretty easy to work with for me and so I really concentrated on making a big bold title to fill a lot of the space on the page. 

I used the Glitter Girl collection from Shimelle for this layout as in the paper pack there was a 12x12 paper with all of the letters from the alphabet on it and I knew that I wanted to cut these apart to form the basis of my title. 

Once I had cut the paper up, I then had to decide on a title. 

Now, I struggled with this as it was a photograph about myself. I decided to embrace it and call the layout Beautiful Smile.

I only added a couple of areas of embellishments which were located at the top left of my photo, the bottom right of my photo and the bottom right of the page where the title ended. I wanted to maintain a lot of white space on this layout to keep it looking clean and I was happy with the balance of embellishments v. white space on this layout.

You'll see that I tucked in a mixture of die cuts and stickers to each cluster and added a few enamel shapes to finish the page. 

I hope you have enjoyed reading about my layout and be sure to head on over to our Facebook Group here to share what you have been inspired to make.

Pocket Page Layout | Michelle (UglyBugPlans) | Large Photo

Hey UK Scrap Addicts, Michelle here from UglyBugPlans with this months layout which had the theme "Large Photo".

To be totally honest I have never used such a large photo on any of my layouts before, initially I had intended to create a traditional 12x12 layout but I've been really drawn back to pocket pages lately so decided to take a risk. I am so pleased I did as it really paid off and I love the finished layout!

For a couple of week's I'd been meaning to pop to my local printers to have a photo printed off and had started to worry that I wouldn't get the chance, for some silly reason I hadn't thought of the stack of A4 photo printer sat on my desk.. once I realised that I could print it at home, from my phone I only had to decide which photo to use.

I chose a large photo of my middle daughter and then smaller pictures of my other 2 children all taken at the same birthday party that we attended a week or so ago.

The papers and journalling cards that I used are from the new Stampin' Up! catalogue and the thickers, die cuts and embellishments were from a recent shopping trip to Hobbycraft.

You can check out the process to this layout HERE!

You can find me over on my blog and YouTube where I upload 3 videos a week :) I also hand out on Instagram a lot and would love to connect with you there @uglybugplans
