Hello - Fall layout for Paperhaus Magazine

This fall I have the pleasure of attending several crops and I always plan to pack light for these events, but it never happens and I always pack way more than I would ever need, but I hate to sit there and only think about the things I left at home, which means I am not the best to give advice on how to pack for crops...  However I have one little thing I do to jumpstart the creative at the crop/event after my shopping round is done. (In the beginning of october I was at en event with 13 (!) scrap stores under one roof....)  and that actually starts at home. I  make a lot of backgrounds in my favorite colors so I don't have to start from scratch - I can just pick one of the premade background and start creating. When I have more time before a crop I even pack things I might want to use for the layout in a crop bag.  If I don't have time I start the process at the crop by picking out stuff for the layout and just pile them in a crop bag - I don't always start the layout right away - I let the creative process continue in the back of my head and jump to the next project and do the same.   My step three is actually finish the project and then it can go pretty quickly. This was cut and mounted to the paper in about 30 minutes.... (I had a deadline..... )  What you don't see under the photo is that I have stapled all the layers together and to the white cardstock. 





This layout was made for a challenge and in our goodie bags we got some mosaic squares and they had to used on our layouts.  The mosaic came in all kinds of colors, but I choose the brown and orange ones to go with my fall theme.  I was also lucky enough to have premade the background with a stencil that the squares fit perfectly in...  Using these kind of things make you think how much other things at home you could use for a layout and I have used one other such thing on my layout.  If you see the brown fabric under the Hello wood title, that thing used to be on a newspaper holder, but I loved the faux mocca so much that I cut it out and saved it. So my challenge for you is to use old clothes or stuff from your home to use on your layout. 




Being on a deadline and having prepared some in advance made my weekend pretty productive. A total of 7 layouts and 1 card. I am not a very fast scrapper, it takes time to focus and keeping my inspiration for so long.  If I hadn't made these preparations I don't think I would have made more thand 2-3 layouts inbetween all the shopping and chatting to the 80 other participants and hundreds of visitors to the event.   My last tip to you is that don't think that you HAVE TO finish a project in just one go, it's actually a very good idea to take breaks between the different parts of the process.

Gode venner & søsken

Har letet fram et sommerbilde av Troy og Anea og har brukt tre forskjellige Basic Grey serier til denne layout. pb&j, Clippings og Kissing Booth. 

Washi tape klarer jeg meg  ikke uten,   Crafters workshop stencilene har jeg nesten dekket over alt sammen.......


Har tolket denne skissen ganske fritt, men har fire bilder som var kravet, og tittelen er på nedre del......

Norge nytt land

På avstand er det veldig lite som skiller denne layouten fra hvordan jeg som oftest lager mine layouter, men det er en liiiiten forskjell.  På denne layouten har jeg brukt Pan Pastels i stedet for distresser når jeg har jobbet med maskene.   Eneste forskjellen var å huske å fixere litt ofte....  Har brukt Basic Grey pb&j papirer på denne layouten. Har tatt et gammelt scrabble for bokstavene.

Scrapliftet av Basic Grey

Ble så glad da jeg i går oppdaget at en av Basic Grey jentene har liftet en av mine layouter som jeg har lagt i BG Flickrpoolen.  Her kan dere se hos Basic Grey.

Skissedilla #154 - Så blå

Har byttet ut sirklene med doilies og i stedet for 4 bilder har jeg en. Har allerede laget en layout med fire bilder denne uken, så jeg tenkte det var nok.  I stedet for sommerfuglene har jeg noe greier ute til venstre. Til slutt så har jeg speilvendt layouten.

Papir fra MME og Basic Grey (Kissing Booth), duskblomst og canvas er også Basic Grey. Den store rosa blomsten er ZVA Creative.

Sove snart ? - DT Scrap-Perra

Materialliste og flere bilder finnes hos Scrap-Perra


Den här veckan har jag letat fram lite Basic Grey igen och har papper eller dekorationer från 5 olika serier - Out of Print, Kioshi, Sweet Threads, Green at Heart och Olivia. (tyvärr är några av dekorationerna slut)




Jag har lager på lager med både färg och papper. Började med en mask och rosa mist, så lite Weathered Wood distress stains med en annan mask innan jag drog över med gesso med en tredje mask från The Crafters Workshop. På dessa färglager har jag silkespapper och flera lager med papper från Basic Grey og en overlay (slut i lager)  Fotomatta är ett tårtpapper med lite stickers på för att tona ner mot de färgglada pappren.  Lite gamla egna blommor har fått komma mellan och lite knappar från Basic Greys serie Kioshi, lite Petaloo blomma och Sassafras blomma och en gammal krona jag hittade i mina gömmor. Lite Prima canvas har jag också mistat och hamnar under silkespappret. För att få allt att ligga på plats har jag häftat det innan jag la dit fotot.

Layouten är gjort med papper från Basic Grey och serierna  Basics och Out of Print.  Bakgrundspappret heter Manilla - Blueline och är från Basic. Kan vara roligt att blanda nya och gamla serier.
