Happy Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here.

Today I am here to show you a layout with watercolored, stamped and machine stitched background.  This is me and hubby on our 25th April traditional picnic with friends. To create the background I created a watercolor splatter on white cardstock and then I stamped faux stitching with BIG HAPPY clear stamp . I machine stitched over the stamps to add texture; I love to leave long thread to add extra fun to the project.

I used BIG Happy also to create part of the title.

I stamped it on a cardstock and fussy cut it.  I cut many tiny designs from different SRM Stickers (hearts, butterflies, flowers) and I used them to decorate the background.

I hope you liked my layout and wish you a good day. 

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Clean and Simple LOVE Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here with a clean and simple romantic layout with a picture that I really love: it is one of our engagement pictures (we took a photo shoot in dreamy Umbria hills).

I backed a white cardstock onto patterned paper and I created the background using watercolors: I simply create lines in different colors with a wet brush.
Then I stamped "love you" from SRM Clear Stamp / BIG Love set (I used it as title) and also little words from SRM Clear Stamp / Just Believe set - I love these tiny words!

I decorated with stickers, chipboard and sequins and I added a journal printed in a beautiful brush font with my computer: it is made of some lyrics from a song we played at our wedding.

Here some close ups:

I hope you liked my layout.

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Spring Layout by Angie

Hello friends!! Angie here with you today! 

I'm sharing a spring layout in hopes that it will actually make spring appear!! I'm sure a lot of you can commiserate with me that it's been an exceptionally long winter!! I hope this layout will give you a glimmer of hope!!

I started with a white piece of card stock and painted the black stripes using some acrylic paint. I added some black and gold paint splatters as well.

For the flowers and stems on my layout, I stamped them using the Just Believe stamp set. I used black archival ink on polka dot paper and then stamped the other flowers using some pink and yellow inks. I stamped the stems in black and green. I fussy cut those flowers and stems out and used them in some different clusters around my layout. 

I used several of SRM's border stickers and sticker stitches to add some interest to layout as well. They add a nice pop of color as well.

This was a very quick layout to put together but I love how it turned out. I hope this will inspire you to use the great products found in the SRM store!!

Have a great day!!

Borders and Stitches Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here with a summer layout.
One of my favorite SRM Stickers products are borders and stitches, I use them all the time, and for this layout I used many of them to create a funny background. 
If you would like to see another layout created with them, you can find it here in my previous post - I also made a tutorial for it, check it out!

To create the background I used Gelatos and packaging technique (put Gelatos on a piece of plastic, sprinkle it with water and splash it on the cardstock!). Then I started adhering SRM borders and stitches stickers on the white textured cardstock: I alternated colors and motifs, and I created a visual line from top to bottom.  I layered picture on several patterned papers and I decorated with chipboard, flair, other stickers, sequins and glittered foam shapes to complete the LO.  The result is a colorful summer LO. 

Here some close ups:

I hope you liked my layout, if you will give it a try I would love to see your projects!

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Mini Calendar Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here and today I am sharing a layout with you.
 I love making layouts, it is my favorite way to preserve memories.
For this layout I had an idea as soon as I saw the fabulous mini calendar 2018 stickers:
I wanted to give the idea of being loved each and every day, so I created the background using all of them!

The background paper, that seems like a galaxy, matches the funny photo; the photo was taken on Valentine's Day 2018, so I marked the date on the calendar using an enamel heart and I add the 2018 taken from Year of Memories Sticker/2018 sticker sheet.

 I added die- cuts and I machine stitched every mini calendar (I love to add texture this way!). Put glue only in the centre of the die-cut, so you can lift up the borders and add dimension.  I used foam tape to adhere some of the die-cut, to add depth, and on some of them I added an enamel shape.

I hope to have given you an alternative idea to use mini calendar stickers (in the shop you can find also past years to scrap old pictures!)

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Snowman Layout by Melanie

Welcome, welcome! So glad you could drop by today :) We are in the thick of winter here--which actually means lots of rain and an occasional snowfall. My son is so happy to see the snow and will immediately want to go outside to build a snowman. So, I thought it would be fun to document that with our first snowfall of the season this winter.

As you can see, it took most of the snow in our yard to build the snowman! But he sure looks happy doesn't he?

 I used several different sticker sheets to enhance the layout. The sticker stitches always come in handy to define edges or add some depth.

SRM has quite a few stickers available for winter-theme projects. I appreciate how the colors on the sticker sheets coordinate across the line. That way I can mix and match from several options.

Thanks for stopping by today! We are hoping for some more snow soon. Let the snow-dancing commence!

Happy Easter Hybrid Project Life Layout by Shanna

Hello SRM friends, Shanna here today with a springtime Easter layout in anticipation of Easter 2018!   I am a Project Life/pocket page scrapbooker mainly, but here lately have been enjoying making hybrid layouts that combine a PL layout with a traditional 12x12 layout.  I am in love with the marriage of these two!  For me it's the best of both worlds, because sometimes there is a single picture or two that I really want to highlight, ESPECIALLY with holidays.  

I decided to "scrap ahead" and create a layout that will highlight this coming Easter's festivities.  I loved pulling all of the different elements together for these pages!  

 Here is a look at the traditional 12x12 scrapbook layout...I am really enjoying all of the layers! The doily added some visual contrast with all the squared edges going on in this layout as well.  Easy-peasy :)

For the traditional 12x12 layout I pulled stickers from the Year of Memories/2018 and Express Yourself/Easter stickers sets. 

I also used a mini calendar sticker and circled the date!  Such a fun way to journal the date!  I had fun creating bunny ears above my sticker sentiment with some pink jute twine that I unbraided for a single piece.  Hippity-Hop!

Next up, here is a closer look at the pocket page layout (Project Life format). I am a big matchy-matchy person....so the 2 layouts make my crafty heart happy! This layout pulls together the same sticker sets used in the traditional layout, so the coordinate perfectly!

I had a lot of fun embellishing the different cards..I discovered a new (at least to me!) technique to use my fabulous jute twine for....Rosettes!!!  All I did was spiral and twist a single strand of the jute around in a circle to make these whimsical little flowers!  

Here is a larger version of the jute rosette with a dainty yellow button for the center :) The Easter eggs sentiment comes from the Express Yourself/Easter stickers set as well! I also took a close up of the smaller one...I did a tighter spiral for the smaller ones, but the larger one lets the "ruffles" from unbraiding the jute totally shine!

Another fun combo of  Express Yourself/Easter  and Year of Memories/2018 made for a quick and cute journaling card. A small piece of jute finished off this card nicely!

Bible Journaling Stamp Layout by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here with you today. It's no secret that I love SRM's Bible journaling stamps. However, I usually use them in my Bible, and only occasionally on cards. I thought it would be fun to try something different with my stamps, so today I have a Bible Journaling Stamp layout to share with you. 

I saw this "Every good and perfect gift" stamp from the new Bible Journaling Bible Margins Rejoice stamp set, and knew it would work beautifully on a layout. 

I used ColorIn Watercolor pencils to color in the stamp in colors that coordinated with my matching paper. Placing the stamped image in between two photos really makes it pop as a focal point. 

I'm super happy that I stepped outside my comfort zone and tried SRM's Bible Journaling stamps on something besides my Bible. Have you ever used SRM's Bible journaling stamps on a layout?

Spring/Love Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here.

Today I am here to show you a spring layout (we are still in winter days but I really needed to think about sunny and warm day, since here it is rainy and foggy!)  

So I printed this picture of me and hubby last year on holiday in beautiful Tuscany and created a colorful springy layout.  As background I used a photographic paper and I decorated the layout with many SRM Stickers!

I adhered strips of different colors to the background paper. I used many types of FreeStyle stickers, then I added the picture and decorated it. I also used the lovely quote from Say It With Stickers/Outdoors sheet.

Some stickers are adhered directly on the paper, some others are adhered on white cardstock and fussy cut.  For some of them I used foam tape to make them pop.

I also used some stickers to create my title "wonderful vacation". I added sequins to  little extra sparkle (you know, I love sequins!)

I hope you liked my layout and wish you a good day. 

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.
