October 2006 - Lainey's Layouts!

Hi I’m Elaine and I have always been interested in arts and crafts since primary school. I started scrapbooking in Oct '05 when a friend (Ringo) introduced me to the idea and I spent a few night researching Irish and UK craft sites and since then I have been totally hooked. I have a background in Marketing and more recently Interior design. I have always loved papercrafts (starting with fancy paper collections!), photography and family history so it seemed liked the perfect hobby to amalgamate the three passions. I'm a SAHM to two little girls and they feature in a lot of my work. I have recently started teaching Scrapbooking on a local basis in Dublin and we meet up once a month which is great fun and everyone learns from each other. My personal style is vintage and distressed but I have started to investigate the clean and simple style (Ali Edwards). I also adore altered art and ATC’s and have been known to alter anything from pizza boxes to my daughter’s Barbie books!

2" circle punch

Provocraft eyelet setter

You will also need

2 plates (diameter 6’’ and 7’’ approx) or a circle cutter

1 x 9’’x6’’ Christmas-themed black & white photo – portrait style

Craft scissors

Fonts from www.dafont.com

Black pen for journalling

Instructions:

Step 1 – Printing your photo

When printing out your photo, go to print options are select ‘fit page’ or A4. Alternatively copy photograph into a WORD document, left click on the photo and select the corner arrow and drag outwards until the photo fits the page. Print. Ideally you are trying to achieve a 9x6 photo so a larger photo can be trimmed to fit. A smaller photo should be matted on a 9x6 co-ordinating sheet of Bazzill or patterned paper. When trimming the photo, leave a 4mm white border for effect.

Step 2 – Setting up the papers

Start with the black snowflake paper. Place the photo down in position and using a pencil lightly trace around the photo. Use your scissors to cut around a select number of circles so they act as photo corners. Underneath the photo – you can salvage a number of stars and snowflakes for decoration at a later stage.

Using the burgundy snowflake paper and using the 7’’ plate trace around and cut out the circle. Using the smaller plate create a second circle and cut out so you are left with a circular frame. Before you apply this to the photo, set a number of eyelet snowflakes into it and tie the ribbon.

Stick down the photo, the circular border and add further snowflakes and circles which were salvaged earlier (using foam pads for 3D effect).

Step 2 – Print your title

Using www.dafont.com print your title on white cardstock so it is no more than 2’’ diameter. Use a 2’’ circle punch or a tumbler to cut around it and stick down on the patterned paper snowflake motif.
