Scrapbook layout tutorial from Pinterest by Julie

Good morning Off The Rails fans

Today I want to share a tutorial with you that was inspired by a picture I saw on Pinterest.

I must admit it took a bit of doing because it entails cutting up a photo and I was worried that I might ruin it.

The layout is very simple and yet I just love how it turned out.

The photo was 7 1/2" tall x 7" wide

I have used an embossed metallic paper, a glitter patterned paper and 2 sheets of black cardstock. For an embellishment I am re-puposing an old necklace.

I have cut my photo at 2" and 5" giving me 2 pieces at 2" wide and one (centre) piece 3" wide.

I could have cut it into even sized pieces but I didn't like where the cut fell in relation to Cindy's face.

Cut photo mats from black cardstock. 2 pieces at 2 1/4" x 7 3/4" and one at 3 1/4" by 7 3/4"

Attach the photos to the mats

Cut the silver embossed paper to 11 1/2" by 11 1/2" and attach it to a 12" by 12" piece of black cardstock.

Cut the patterned paper to 2 1/2" by 11 1/2" and attach to the layout 3" up from the bottom

Using your hot glue gun attach a piece of cardboard to the centre piece of your photo.

Attach your photo to the layout as show in the photo below, staggering the tops of the photo and slightly overlapping the bottom.

Attach the embellishment using the hot glue gun

Add your title and journalling and your layout is finished.

I would love to see your take on this layout, so if you are brave enough to cut up a photo, and lets face it you can always get it re-printed, please share it with us here at Off The Rails Scrapbooking.

Cheers

Julie

Using fishing line on scrapbook page with Trish

Hi Crafters

Trish with you today to share a little tip with fishing line.

I find that as much as l love thread..it sometimes doesn't quite give me the look l am after....but fishing line does.

I always use sticky dots for this job, they work brilliantly.

I have started with a bit of inking..some plasterers tape...this stuff is awesome..

And the all important fishing line and sticky dots.

Some sticky dots are really good for rolling into thin rolls.

Some are great for snipping into smaller pieces.

I have adhered the line on top of the plasterers tape..remembering to ensure there is  enough line to be visible under the embellishments. 

I've added some gold metallic thread, the button and other bits and pieces.

Including my fussy cut flower photo.

For this LO l have used some chippy, a hand made flower..not by me.., a calico tag, a bit of stencil work and using the same colour on the ampersand.

Thank you for popping in.

Enjoy the rest of the creations by the very talented team.

Cheers Trish.
