Hi Ladies! It’s Flóra back on the Crate Paper blog. In today's post I want to show you how can you get the most out of your gorgeous scrapbook papers and use them many ways. I created a 12x12 scrapbook page with Maggie Holmes – Willow Lane collection because it has many awesome patterned papers. Traditionally we use the papers for background or we cut scraps and create a base or layer them on each other. But why not to cut out the fun design elements from the papers and use them as embellishments?
I used the lovely rose Bright Days Paper as background in a traditional way and fussy cut birds from Sparrow Paper and sentiments from Spread Love Paper. After I placed my 4x4 photo, I arrange the birds around the background and added to each a black ribbon with a message, just like they would carry them in the beak. I decorated on the left of the photo with Chipboard and Cardstock Sticker flowers and leaves. I also added a cute cuckoo-clock from Wonderful Thickers sheet what I decorated with Puffy Stickers. The title is made with my favorite colorful Cheerful Thickers. It's so easy to create a pretty cluster with Willow Lane collection!
I decorated some of the birds with matching Puffy Sticker hearts. Above some of the black ribbon I added clear stickers to have more details on my layout. In the end, I draw curlicues with pencil behind the birds, poke holes over it and hand stitched them with matching threads. They cheer up my page and only took some extra minutes to make them.
I hope you like my new page and will inspire you to use your gorgeous Crate Paper patterned papers in a different way. Think creative and try to use them next time in a new way. Thanks for checking my post today! Flóra
