Special Moments With You



Hi everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Caroleanne here with you today from CAROLEANNES BLOG , The Pretty Paper Patisserie, to share with you my first layout for STUCK ON U SKETCHES for 2015.
 I hope you had a blessed Christmas and Peaceful new year and
 Welcome to our very first sketch of 2015! Seems weird to say that! Its a brilliant sketch by our lovely Leah, I really loved this one, and I have to say it was a quick and easy one for the beginners out there.
 I loved this sketch and hope you do too. For more inspiration do visit all the other Design Team members during this week for lots of fabulous designs.
HERES HOW 
Choose a sheet of  12x12 inch pretty paper for your base
Adhere a 9.5 x 9.5 inch square of pale blue cardstock
Matt a 5 x 7inch photo onto pale blue cardstock
Adhere a 9x9 inch piece of pretty paper
Add the matted photo
Start to decorate all around the edges of photo as per the sketch
Cut out some flowers from a sheet of pretty papers and attach
Die-cut leaves and branches, ink the edges and add
Stamp and cut out some flowers, add pearl centres
Finish off with more pearls and mini roses
Cut out a title, matt onto the blue cardstock and attach.

FIVE STEPS TO THE PERFECT LAYOUT
Step 1 - The Focal Point
Choose photo/photos, matt them in co-ordinating cardstock so that they stand out on your page.
Step 2 - The Background
Choose the background cardstock/ or pretty papers to co-ordinate with matted photo, choose all matching embellishments etc.
Step 3 - The Border
Always try to use a border to bring the page together.
Step 4 - The Embellishments
The best part, time to decorate with flowers, butterflies, leaves etc.
Step 5 - The Title and Journaling
By putting a title on the layout, you give meaning to the page.
The Journaling, on the page, or hidden, lets everyone know what is going on and gives you the chance to add your thoughts/ memories.


THATS ALL FOR NOW

SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.
