I know I say this about pretty much all of my layouts, but I LOVE how this one turned out!!

The colours, the embellishments, the happy little face in the photo (this was the week we both had a crazy head cold that had wiped out of energy to do nothing more than snuggle in bed, or on the couch. You wouldn't think it from the smile she gave me, but she was pretty miserable for the remainder of that day, and we missed out on seeing Uncle Tim for his birthday dinner)

Ive grouped the photo (and signature doily) together with tags and floral embellishments from both the Main kit and the Maggie Holmes Shine Add-On. Love the mix of colours, with the pops of gold throughout

The acetate tags are a cute finishing touch to the sides of photos, good for layering as they are see through and mix well with the other embellishments

LOVING this roller stamp! I think I've used it on each page so far..

I've created the title from the 'hello love' wood veneer that I cut down and layered behind the 'Happy day' die cut

Lastly some handwritten journalling and splatters of Gold colorshine to finish the page off

Thanks for stopping by today, more to share very soon

Happy Scrapping

I've seen a few layouts made lately using vertical strips to the sides of the page, so I thought why not try it out. That black and white striped paper was just perfect to layer together with the spotted papers

Ive used foam to raise the photos and pink flower to the right to give some dimension to the page

Love the florals in this collection, however Ive found that there just isn't enough for my liking! I need more!!

This quote, that can be found on the cut apart sheet, really jumped out as something I needed to use for this page. Its exactly how I feel about those photos and that moment!

How cool is it to have a roller stamp as part of the kit this month! 

Perfect little sentiments to stamp all over the page..

And lastly a little cluster at the bottom to finish the page off..

All the products used here, apart from the doily, vellum, ink and Gold colorshine, can be found in the current Scrapbook kit, which is available in store now 

Thanks for stopping by

Phew!  I managed nine layouts with this kit and I have saved some of the grey geometric patterned paper for a few Christmas cards.  

Don't forget the SALE is still on in the Scrappy Canary Store.

Love all the little bits within the Atlas ephemera pack. 

Hi there Canaries...

It's Tarrah here with you today...I wanted to share a layout with you today that I created using the gorgeous September 'Penny Lane' Scrapbook Kit...

'Dropped Down in London Town'

I am very fortunate to have been to London twice now and every time I go it still blows me away...it is such an amazing place...I just love it! 

As soon as I saw the Studio Calico travel paper in the Penny Lane Scrapbook Kit, I just knew that I wanted to scrap one of my travel photos.... I placed one of the super cute wood veneer hearts about where London is on the map paper!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Scrappy Canary blog today...hope you are getting loads of time to create with your kit...

Till next time...

Hi Canaries!!

It's Tarrah here with you today...I wanted to share a technique with you that many people find difficult to do and that is how to layer.....I will show you how to layer both papers and embellishments :)

Here we go!

First I chose my photo and then I gather papers, embellishments etc that inspire straight away...in this layout, I have used the gorgeous Scrappy Canary September 'Penny Lane' Scrapbook Kit plus that paint stripe piece of paper from the August 'Bohemian' Scrapbook Kit too.

Step 1. Choose a background paper and trim other papers to all different lengths for your layers....I find it best to layer with all different shapes and lengths  

Step 2. I hardly ever have a design style in mind...so I just shuffle and rearrange as I go...I would change it up heaps of times before I actually adhere anything down.. 

One of my favourite brands to work with is Crate Paper....I just love those chipboard frames...perfect for framing something you want to highlight on your project...

Instead of placing the large butterfly sticker flat, I curled its wings up with my fingers for more dimension...

When layering I like to try and keep everything compact so there is not too much spreading out and everything getting lost on my layout..

I hope this little tutorial has helped some of you that might find it difficult to layer and to use up your kits! I would love to read your feedback (good or bad) on what you thought so please leave me a comment below if you wish...

Thank you so much for stopping by the Scrappy Canary blog today.....happy layering!
