CHRISTMAS 2014 by Paige Evans
Description: For this layout I wanted to feature these stitched circles metal dies:
I picked up this adorable Christmas line - Silent Night by October Afternoon - while I was teaching at Scrapbook Werkstatt a couple weeks ago. I've gotta scrap my holiday photos from last year before this holiday season is upon is!
Journaling says: This is just so typical it could be in a magazine. What's wrong with Santa?!
How to: Die cut a set of stitched circles from the front and back side of each paper in the Silent Night collection. Place a round photo in the center of a robin's egg blue cardstock layout base then adhere the circles in four rings around the photo. Stitch the circles in place. Glue clear sequins around the first ring of circles and mint green sequins around the second ring of circles. Embellish a few of the circles with brads and chipboard shapes. Trim a border sticker in half and place the halves on the top and bottom layout edges along with a chipboard holly sticker. Add mini alphabet stickers around the top of the photo and edge it with chipboard photo corners. Place a sticker banner below the photo then journal on the bottom right corner.
Supplies: Stitched circles metal die, sequins: Pretty Pink Posh; Cardstock, adhesive: American Crafts; Patterned paper, brads, chipboard, stickers: October Afternoon; Pen: Uniball Signo; Sewing machine: Brother; Thread: Coats & Clark; Die cut machine: Cuttlebug by Provo Craft

Drop blue spray mist over the top left and bottom right corners.

ReplyDeleteDon't do much scrapbooking but your pages are very nice.
ReplyDeleteFun layouts. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Paige, I really love both of your pages. I think the way you have used these dies is just awesome! I know this doesn't have anything to do with the blog hop, but I read your previous post and congratulations! You can just tell by both your photos that you are feeling so happy and good about yourself! That is so great and so much a big part of feeling more like yourself and loosing that dreaded muffin top.. (lol) Anyway, CONGTRATULATIONS!!! Hugs Lisa G
ReplyDeleteThat 1st layout is so cool. I love it. I can always tell your layouts on like Pinterest or other social medias. You have this amazing way of putting patterned paper shapes together that no one else can do.
ReplyDeleteLove the design of your layout, very cleaver use of all of the circle. TFS
ReplyDeleteYour layouts are crazy cute and yet don't overwhelm your photos or stories. Do you layer several papers in your diecut machine and then pry them apart, or do you just keep running it through with one sheet at a time?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun layout! I would never think to use sequins as a focal image on my pages so thanks for inspiring me to think outside the box on my new layouts!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up a lot of little pieces of pictures, paper you like, and embellishments that shine. I love this page.
