Crate Paper

Bright & Bold Layout

Today's layout features a photo of some cool chucks. I spotted them during a Depeche Mode concert here in Leipzig, Germany in May 2017. And of course, I had to photograph them. They've actually got a print on them that shows the band members. And because I think that the shoes are pretty cool and fun, I used two papers with bold patterns from the new Carousel collection to create a fun layout.

I wanted the background of the layout to be eye-catching. Just as eye-catching as the shoes that caught my attention during the concert.

To decorate the layout, I added chipboard stickers, one of the cute fabric bows, some items from the ephemera pack and the clip with seven hearts, all from the Carousel collection. And I also cut a border from the Starbright paper as an additional decorative element. 

I hope you like my layout inspiration. Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day.

A Cheerful Layout with Carousel

Hello CP fans! It's my great honor to share with you my first page with the wonderful collection CAROUSEL by Maggie Holmes. A very colorful collection with touches of black and gold, cute patterns, such as rides, kites, hot air balloons... I'm already in love with it (as with every collection of Maggie Holmes and Crate Paper)!

The first page is always difficult with a new collection, because you have to make a choice with the magnificent papers. Each collection includes a wide selection. They are more beautiful than the others! As usual, I opted for white cardstock for the background. Then I selected a nice floral paper, a paper with colored garlands and a black and white paper to stand out with the black and white photos.

First I pasted my papers from the largest to the smallest and I added a strip of white crepe paper to mix the materials and bring a little thickness. I chose to place the photos in the center and sliding under the die-cuts too cute (ticket vendor, decorated tag).

On the left side, I also stacked rounds of rides with a stapler and a nice ice cream with 3D foam.

In the last step, I added the beautiful yellow label "You are wonderful" and the beautiful black and white fabric bow. And a little higher a button and a golden star. So cute!

This new collection CAROUSEL will be perfect for scraping your days in the park, the circus or just a beautiful family day.

And you, what will be your first creation with this wonderful collection?

Love You Layout featuring Carousel

Hi Ladies! Today I am very excited to show you my first scrapbook layout made with the new Maggie Holmes Carousel collection. This new line is so sweet and pretty, fits to many themes and super easy to mix and match the embellishments with the papers. To be honest, it was hard to decide which paper to grab for my first project.

I ended up with choosing the Carousel Prix Paper for my background. Then, I searched the floral paper – because every Maggie Holmes collection includes at least one floral paper – and fussy cut some of the black and white flowers from Carousel Belle paper.

After I placed the photo on the background, I added few layers under it and adhered the cut out flowers on my layout. I chose a camera from the Ephemera pack and a ferris wheel from 12x12 Chipboard Sheet and place them on the sides of the photo. Maybe you wonder where I got the black and white striped buttons and the gold sequins. Well, they are also from the Ephemera pack and they are just pretty awesome.

Under the photo I adhered a Puffy Word Stickers and a pretty Fabric Bow. I couldn't resist to stick here that beautiful rose unicorn because it’s just too cute. Under it I stamped Hello, love with Gather Acrylic Stamp. In the end, I scattered black, white and gold tiny elements from many 6x12 Sticker Sheets.

I hope you like my first layout made with Carousel collection. I can’t wait to share more with you. A new collection always inspire me and has good effect on my mojo.
