Mother - layout with Lea-Anne
Hello all,
Welcome back for my turn on the blog.
Welcome back for my turn on the blog.
Today I am going to share with you how to create a single page scrapbooking layout.
Sadly, my Mother passed away in January.
As part of my dealing with her passing, I decided to scrap this page with memories of her.
As part of my dealing with her passing, I decided to scrap this page with memories of her.
I used to the Peaceful Peonies Paper 12x12 Collection pack, Peaceful Peonies Die Cut Ephemera, GoCut and Emboss machine to cut the die’s and the Couture Creations Go press and foil machine for some hot foiling.
For this project you will need the Peaceful Peonies 12x12 scrapbook pages, 01 and 04.
A 12x12 natural beige page and cardstock to matte your two main photos.
You will also need the die cut Peony flowers, the lace strip and the pink, brown and cream flags from the Ephemera collection.
A collection of paper flowers, skeleton leaves and tea/coffee stained lace.
You will also need 2x old film strips, a Mother sentiment, 3 inspiring quotes, tea stained bias binding, string, a string of mini pearls and an oval die cut.
To foil the Mother sentiment wooden chipboard, as preparation, use your Go Press and Foil machine and the petal pink iridescent finish heat activated foil.
Cut a piece of foil to the required size. Place the foil, with the shiny side down, onto the heating pad, place the wooden chipboard onto the foil, with the word facing down and add a piece of scrap card to ensure that any excess foil does not transfer to the lid of the machine.
Remove the heating platform and run through your GoCut and Emboss Machine.
You may need to add an extra piece of card on top of the sandwich to ensure the correct pressure when going through the GoCut & Emboss Machine to foil the wooden chipboard.
Set aside the sentiment to use later.
Using the Le Petit Jardin Mini Dahlia Bloom Hotfoil Stamp, and the petal pink heat activated foil, repeat the step above and foil, snip in half and set aside to use later.
You can now start with your layout.
To do this, trim the natural card to 12x12 (30cmx30).
Trim the 04 Peaceful Peonies pattern sheet to 29.5cmx29.5cm.
Using the edge of your scissors, rough up the edges of the paper and secure to the natural card.
Trim the pink dots pattern paper 04 to 16cm x 9cm and secure to pattern sheet just off the left hand side of the page.
Add the one half of the pink heat foiled oval to the left of the dots age.
Staying on the left, add the film strip at a slight angle and then finish off with the lace strip from the Ephemera collection, overlapping the film strip and the pink dots card.
Trim and matte your photo’s with complimentary coloured cardstock.
Keep your photo’s one side to stick down once your layout is complete.
You may want to raise the main photo matte on the right with foam.
Secure the smaller matte card overlapping the top of the film strip and pink dots card.
Add the remaining foiled pink oval, sticking out the bottom of the main matte,
on the right of the page.
on the right of the page.
Secure the main photo matte to the right of this, also slightly overlapping at the bottom right of the left photo matte.
Start adding the rest of your elements and embellishments at the bottom of the photo matte.
Trim and remove the Mother sentiment from the wooden border, set aside to use later.
Using the wooden border, stick down to highlight your motivational sentiment.
Add the Peony flowers from the Ephemera collection, raising the flowers with foam dots.
If your photo is not yet in place, remember to only stick the foam dots at the bottom end of the flowers.
For added interest on your layout, add a smaller picture to the bottom right corner of the layout.
To do this, using the pink, beige and brown flags from the Ephemera collection, secure these, overlapping each other, to the base pattern paper, leaving space for your mini photo and a motivations saying.
You are now getting to the point where you can finish your layout.
Add the skeleton flowers underneath your peony flowers.
Add the paper leaves, string, paper flower and string of pearls to the bottom left of the peony flowers.
Add hot foiled Mother embellishment to the underneath of the peony flowers.

To finalise your layout, you can now add your photos and finish off by adding some mini pearls or diamante. Well Done, enjoy!
