July Scrapbook layout with Candy

Welcome welcome ladies.

This month we have a great moodboard challenge.

You could create with african animals,

zoo or just do the colour challenge, which was what I decided to do.

I have used orange, red and yellow on my layout.

This took me right out of my box as orange is not a favourite colour of mine

and I struggle to use it. 

 I decided to use a very old Kaisercrqaft Collection

Curiousity.

 I cut three papers at different sizes, then taped them to the background.

I then covered the background with clear gesso

 as I wanted the splatters of yellow and my stamping to stand out. 

My photo is raised with foam tape, adding the red lace under the photo

and up along the top right side of my paper.

Using a leaf die I cut out three leaves, one of these are cut apart.

I added collectable flowers under the flowers then layered

everything else. Adding the flair button.

I covered my photo and splattered with the yellow die

 then stamped with a script stamp and red ink pad 

to finish off my page.

A peek in Lizzy's craft space

Yup! I know I LOVE taking a peek at other peep's craft areas...& there are ALWAYS ideas that we can pick up from each other, right? So here's a bit of both of these for you today:)

 I keep my 6x6 pads in a little box...inside a cut down plastic sleeve. Then even the 1/2 pages can be stored neatly without them falling out when I pull up a pad to use!

 I have a wee table near the door to 'show off' some of my work - or to place stuff I like to look at. No point in doing it if you can't enjoy it, right? It's also a storage spot for stuff that needs to be taken with me when I leave the room...just finished that page for a challenge & it needed to be loaded onto my computer! Ooops! That candle needs putting away...never said I was TIDY!!!

 Yeah, I know, I know---such a BASIC thing to do - a colour chart for your inks....& I kept 'meaning to do it'...finally did....pegged above my work space, so I USE it!!!

 To me, scrapping is about COMMUNITY, so when I get given scrummy stuff, I like to make sure I know where it comes from...also if I buy it...flair is hard to write on, but an ink marker works & I know where ALL my flair originates this way!!!!

 As for Flair storage....a couple of ways...above - magnetic strips from those dollar stores...I WILL make this 'pretty' at some stage, but I was testing if  it 'worked' for me...& it does - also hanging close by where I scrap..

 ...but I have too much flair, so the rest is stored in these babies....great for brads, buttons, resin, dots...

  I have a whole post on what I call my 'photo holder' over at LESSology HERE....suffice to say, I LOOOVE it....no more gluey, sticky, lost photos. They sit here SAFELY......

 My 'scraps' are colour co-ordinated & slip inside these files....easy. I now throw the really small bits out - unless I totally LOOOVE them!!

 Another 'nice' way of storing those smaller scrapping items - spice racks ROCK, as do these cute vintage glasses - all from the Op shop!! So is the little shelf they're sitting on. I'm going to do that up too, 'one day'....!!!

 Most of my stamps are clear, & most stored in baskets: Christmas/Birthday...vintage.....flowers......words.....Most Used...I'm sure you'll work out your own categories!!!!

 I pull out the centre from DOUBLE CD cases from the Dollar store - they MUST be double, & do this:

 Then I know exactly where they are from & when & what they look like at an easy glance!!!

And lastly, my Washi Tree - one of those old kitchen mug hanging trees...op shop again...I WILL do it up [cough] sometime......works for me!

Heavy on pics....hope this either helps, or is at least plain FUN to look at ......leave any ideas, hints, stuff you'd like to share as a comment...would love to read your ideas:):)

Happy Scrapping ~ Lizzy ♥♥♥
