Leafy scrapbooking is a whole style I may fortunately look by way of for days and days, so I hope you’ll get pleasure from all of the autumnal and leafy goodness of as we speak’s visitor submit from the beautiful Rebecca Moore! -Shimelle
I like scrapbooking – it’s my ‘me time’. I’ve a busy life with a 5 yr outdated, so scrapbooking is one thing I do within the evenings when issues are a bit quieter. I like to have plenty of dimension and layering on my scrapbook pages. It means I can’t all the time get as many layouts in an album as I’d like – however it’s my model and it’s what makes me blissful so I don’t let that cease me! I lately took my little boy on a stroll round an area lake, and we got here throughout an space lined in fallen leaves. They have been all dried out and crumpled and I actually wished to copy this on my structure. I’ve used Easy Tales ‘Fireside and Dwelling’ assortment as the colors match my picture rather well. I additionally wished to attract on the navy in my picture so I’ve pulled in a navy paper from P13’s ‘Soulmate’ assortment. I ran these papers by way of my Silhouette Cameo 4 and reduce plenty of leaf shapes in numerous sizes.
I started with a round picture within the centre of my structure. I added a few layers of patterned papers behind it, distressing the sides to carry some texture to the web page. I launched some dimension by including foam in between these layers. I then layered six tags underneath my picture in a circluar vogue. I raised the tops of the tags up utilizing foam pads, however I didn’t stick the highest tag down – I wished this tag to incorporate my journalling so I wanted it to be moveable. I used my Crop-A-Dile so as to add some steel eyelets to the tags, and threaded some embroidery floss by way of in coordinating colors.
Subsequent got here the enjoyable a part of layering up the leaves. I attempted to distribute the sizes and hues evenly and have used foam to carry extra dimension to the structure. I’ve additionally distressed the leaf edges and curled them up barely to look extra real looking. I actually do love how these leaves look organized round my round picture. For my title, I’ve used an acrylic perspextive from Bramble Fox as a result of the color coordinated properly with my picture. I positioned this central on the web page, beneath my picture.
I completed the web page off by including a patterned paper border, some ink splatters and some sequins to herald a little bit of sparkle. I actually love how this structure turned out. The leaves are so dimensional and real looking and actually do remind me of our stroll each time I have a look at the structure – which makes me blissful and brings a smile to my face. And this design may work with any shapes – you don’t have to make use of leaves – snowflakes or flowers would work simply as properly.
