New York State of Mind | Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

Hey! I hope you are having a great weekend. I've been totally busy and scrapping in between.

I was mooching through my pizza box of goodies - I seem to collate a pizza box until it gets too full and I end up archiving and putting away. Anyway, I came across this background I had started previously. I've no idea why I shelved it and did another.

Lucky me! All I had to do is add more stamping and embellishments, etc.

We were all being crazy for the official photo taken at the Empire State Building. It's supposed to look like that iconic photo of the men sitting on those huge iron girders. It's a good job it wasn't real - a few of my friends are a little scared of heights!

I added some tags and topped one with a homemade tassel. I love the flair (it was a present from my good friend Julie).

This is my favourite bit of detail. I love the different texture from different stencils, stamps and inks.

So thank you for popping by. I'll be back in a couple of days with a layout for The Digital Press Co.

New York Travel | The Digital Press

As a member of The Digital Press creative team, I am lucky enough to work with loads of different digital products in all sorts of styles. One of my favourites come from Rachel Hodge. She is so talented!

On our travels to Chelsea Market, NYC, we encountered so many photo opportunities. There was great street art in all sorts of places - even a huge garage.

I've gone all mixed media for a change - something I don't do all that often!

I created a very textured background on watercolour paper, adding stencils, texture paste, inks and stamps. I might have gone a bit over the top for me.

I also layered washi tapes here and there - I love the translucent feel of washi tape.

Then it was time for the awesome die-cut shapes from Rachel. The New York scene is one of my favourites - it's appeared on many a layout and cards! The great thing with die-cutting on white is the way you can completely change the look of them.

You can see more shapes from the New York bundle; the globe is from the Travel Set. They're great value for money because they are jam-packed with gorgeous goodies - just sayin'.

So if you need your own bundle or any of the other amazing bundles - hop over to The Digital Press. I have my eye on some new Amsterdam and Family goodies.

Getting Hitched Album

My very good friend, Natalie got hitched this summer. Her wedding was an amazing Festival wedding. 18 months in planning and preparations, her big day really lived up to all expectations.

I helped out along the way so when it was time for the hen do, it fell to me for the hen do album.

It was a 12x12 spiral album in which everyone added their own special page for Natalie. It was such a great idea. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of the cover and none of the inside!

I'll leave you with a male 40th birthday card I made for a work colleague...

Lots of texture and all sorts of objects!

Thanks for popping by.
