HCPS Fundraising Layout

Another successful fundraising event held at Hillcrest Primary School..... thank you to all that contributed by helping, donating and mostly by attending the worth cause. As promised, some close up views of my class taught. Remember, HOMEGROWN and LOCAL can be beautiful and we have some really great companies making some great products here in South Africa. Support local by purchasing papers and supplies from companies like FABSCRAPS, PAPER EXPLOSION, LOVE INSPIRED, and LITTLE MUD HUT DESIGNS. Don't under estimate the beautiful and simple things you can make with a little imagination and some cotton and a needle..... looking forward to seeing many finished and completed layouts....


I WILL CHERISH THESE MOMENTS FOREVER by Venessa Matthews

 

Closer look at left side of layout (flap down)

 

Closer look at right side of layout

 





Adding staples is a cheap embellishment that I love using on my layouts. If you look closely you will notice too that I added two tiny pearls to the large butterflies body.

Add a beatiful porcelian heart embellishment handmade by my talented friend Natasha Hook of LOVE INSPIRED.... Thank you Natasha for your beautiful work



Embellished title area on left side of page. Layered title, tag, hessian and word strips adds alot of interest, dimension and appeal to your layouts. Notice staples being used again in the area....



Dot the "i" with a large FABSCRAPS pearl....



 

Adding tiny FABSCRAPS pearls to the edging....



Add folds to your ribbon to help draw the eye to embellished areas of your layout and fasten down with brads.... this adds more interest than simply running your ribbon flat across your layouts.



Notice the tiny pearls I added onto the patterned paper.... glued to the centers of the damask design on the paper...





The flap up to reveal more photographs underneath......



With the flap "flapped" open the underlying photos are displayed like this.....



Make your own vintage inspired embellishment with this gorgeous FABSCRAP pearl brad added to the center of one of your lace rosette flowers. 



I added my pearl centred lace rosette flower to my layout with a foam "pop-dot" to again add dimension to my layout.

THANK YOU all for sharing in a wonderful day with me. Remember to support local and homegrown... by doing this we reduce our carbon footprint in this beautiful world of ours.
