Creating Happiness at Sicas Guest Lodge

WOW, what a day..... beautiful venue, 60 mad about scrapbooking ladies, delicious food and happy memories created this last Saturday at Scrapkits annual Sica's Scrapbook Day... Thank you to everyone who attended and to Tracy for inviting me to teach at her event.

My layout was as BRIGHT as the day..... as BUSY as a bee and definately patterned paper OVERDOSE. A rather different layout for my style, usually having more cardstock than pattern.... but it was well received and filled with fun happy techniques. Oh and of course total and utter CUTESY overload..... was waiting to see some more cuteness creep out with little birds to sit on the roof, perhaps a sun with rays streaming over, or even a chimney, but alas.... many ladies still need to finish off layouts at home, so perhaps some new idea will still show up. A layout to show some of the things that make our home a one....

As promised some closeup images for attendees....

glitter edged clouds ..........

Adding in the page protector insert....... some images for custom cutting your page protector to complete your layout...



Staple through page protector to secure house before cutting page protector



Cut about 1cm from edge .............

 

Add ribbon tabs ........



Staple ribbon tabs over top of page protector....



the underside of the stapled ribbon is not so pretty, hide by adding a flower ontop of page protector (see next image)



 

Making FLOWERS...................

Using liquid glue to attach stem in shape and position you require...



Add foam circles to patterned paper and cut around each one. Add foam to flowers. I
added  diamond  glaze for extra dimension and just because I Loooove diamond glaze

Add flowers to stems....

Cross stitch over stems for added anchoring and just because I Looooove to stitch :)



Wha - la..... done...



Add ribbon to stems as leaves....

  Day over.... I went to bed early, slept in on Sunday morning and even had a nap on Sunday afternoon..... totally knackered but with a happy heart. I love teaching, so refreshing and fun. Thanks again to every one of the ladies for the laughs, chats, and 100% fun day.
