Good morning all you amazing ladies,
I thought I would put out a challenge this morning. I was inspired by Michelle Van Wyk on a layout she did using my original layout for inspiration. I was amazed how one layout can change into something different yet so inspiring so I thought I would share my notes on my layout with you and all I ask in return is that you share it with me on Facebook so that we can all be inspired by the changes....
My original layout was created using Teresa Collins paper (I have to admit that Teresa Collins is my favourite range of paper, and I was so blessed to have met her while in SA, so this Challenge means that much more to me).
Products used in this layout: Teresa Collins Memorabilia range, Prima Flowers, Celebr8 Chipboard letters, American Crafts Cardstock, Bazzill Dot & Coredinations cardstock

LEFT
PAGE
1. Use the Frames patterned paper as your background. I always join the two background pieces
together so the left and right hand side of the page line up.
2. Stick one of the yellow dot strips (1 x 12”) approx 2” from the bottom
of the layout, running from the left to the right.
3. Now stick the black dot paper directly above it so they the touch.
4. Now stick the 2nd strip of yellow dot directly above the
black dot cardstock so they touch.
5. Stick the yellow cardstock (5x7”) on top of the turquoise cardstock (5
½ x 7 ½”) – MAKE SURE YOU ONLY USE TAPE ON THE LEFT,
BOTTOM & RIGHT HAND SIDE AS THIS IS A POCKET FOR A TAG
6. Stick the matted yellow and turquoise photo matt at a slight angle on
top of the black dot cardstock overlapping the yellow dot at the top.
7. Staple the arrow word “BEST MEMORY” at the bottom left of the photo
matt & stick a chipboard tab with yellow dots at the bottom right hand side
of this photo matt.
8. Stick the chipboard word “DOCUMENT” on the one turquoise tab and stick
this at the back of the 4 x 6” black and white paper on the right hand side at
the top. Now stick this in the middle
flush with the right hand side of the left hand side.
9. Cut the Chipboard border in half length ways so that you can create a
border at the bottom along the left and right hand page. USE A SHARP CRAFT KNIFE AND METAL RULER.
10. Once you have cut this in half use the one half and stick this flush
with the bottom of the yellow dot paper at the bottom of the page.
11. Now stick the vine of flowers starting with the coil in the bottom
left hand corner, I cut the flower and leaves at the top of the vine off, so I
could stick the chipboard wording “LOVE THIS TIME” on the vine so it adds
height and then stuck the flower and leaves I cut off coming out of the wording
to the right.
12. Stick a chipboard tab at the top of the smaller tag in the middle and
stick the yellow cardstock that measures 3 ½ x 4” on top of the tag. This is tucked in at the top of the large
photo matt.
13. Now stick the flags across the top, starting by just overlapping on
the top right hand corner of the large photo matt, going over to the top right
hand corner of the left hand page. Now
stick the black string along the top of the flags using glossy accents to
finish off the flags.
RIGHT PAGE
PLEASE READ STEP
ONE & TWO BELOW BEFORE STICKING ANYTHING......
1. Stick the chipboard word “CAPTURED” & “REMEMBER” to the turquoise
tabs – These tabs are tucked in behind the top of the black dot paper and go on
top of the yellow dot paper. The tab
with the word “CAPTURED” is stuck flush with the left hand side and the tab
with the word “REMEMBER” is stuck next to the 1st tab leaving a
slight gap in between. (OR YOU CAN CUT THE TABS DOWN AND STICK IT FLUSH AFTER YOU
HAVE CREATED THE POCKET – WHAT EVER YOU FIND EASIER)
2. With the right hand page, although the yellow dot patterned paper
& black dot cardstock line up with the left hand page this side is a pocket
for the two large tags, so you need stick all the pieces together using tape at
the back to create the pocket (or optional extra use a spare piece of cardstock
you have at home, by sticking all the pieces to a piece of cardstock then
trimming off the excess). When you stick
these pieces to your background paper, make sure you only have tape on the
left, right and bottom, as well as one piece in the centre @ 6” so that this
large pocket is divided into two so that your large tags are separated.
3. Now that your pocket has been created using the yellow dot at the top,
black dot in the middle and the 2nd yellow dot strip at the bottom
with your two tabs with the words “CAPTURED” & “REMEMBER” we can move onto
step 4.
4. Stick the black & white patterned paper +- ¼” from the right hand
side of the page making sure that this lines up with the piece stuck on the
left hand side of the layout, then stick the last of the black & white
patterned papers +- ¼” from the 1st piece stuck, making sure that
you only use tape on the left, bottom and right hand side of the 2nd
piece as you have to tuck the patterned paper with all the words {Labels} in at
the top to create a flap, with the section that you scored going behind this
& the tab at the bottom.
5. Now stick the turquoise square towards the top of the flap and stick
the chipboard balloon at the bottom left hand side of the flap.
6. Stick the covered chipboard “ABROAD” on the black cardstock as per the
original layout. I stuck a black arrow I
cut out on top of the “B” and I stuck the chipboard moustache in the middle of
the 2nd “A”.
7. Staple the cut out words “Priority” & Good Times” flush with the
bottom left hand side of the right page.
8. The large tags get tucked in the pockets…. Lets decorate the tags now.
9. 1st of the large tags, stick the chipboard tab in the
middle at the top.
10. Stick the yellow photo mat in the bottom left hand corner, leaving a
small gap on the left and bottom of the tag.
Now raise the chipboard rectangle with the wording “Always be ready to
have the time of your life” in the bottom right hand corner.
11. Lastly stick the chipboard word “Photo” above the yellow photo mat on
the left hand side leaving a slight gap between the photo mat and the chipboard
word.
12. 2nd of the large tags, stick the chipboard tab in the
middle at the top.
13. Stick the turquoise blue cardstock flap along the folded scored
section +- 6 ¼” from the bottom.
14. Now stick the last of the yellow cardstock photo mats under the flap
in the left hand corner of the tag, leaving an even border on the left and
bottom.
15. Staple the cut out word “Photo” and “yellow arrow” to the turquoise
flap at the bottom left of the flap.
16. Last y stick the chipboard word “LOOK” above the yellow photo mat as
you did with the 1st tag and the chipboard word “PHOTO”.
