I just got my copy of the lastest issue of Australian Scrapbook Ideas Magazine (Holiday Issue) in the Mail today!! I'm excited to share that I had 4 scrapbook pages published in this issue! I was asked to create 4 layouts using holiday themed papers from Websters Pages (A Christmas Story collection) in non-traditional way. The idea is to show the versatility of the collections. This wasn't a challenge for me because as I've mentioned before, I think of myself as 'the back-side scrapper'! :) I tend to start with the backsides of patterned papers and then use some of the patterned designs on the main side and fussy cut them to embellish. The photo taken on a school trip of Chloe and one of her friends. I love that Brandin (Websters Pages brand designer) didn't just go with the traditional holiday colors for this collection, she added in pinks, golds and soft blue's, this allows you to stray to other scrapping themes. I added some Dusty Attic Chipboard (Skeleton Clock Frames, Swirly Vines #3, Small Scroll #6) and a Websters Pages Cameo (Perfect Accents). Here is another page I made from the same collection using the golds and soft turquoise blues. I wanted to go for more of a romantic look for this page as it's some more engagement photos I had to scrap for my nephew and his bride. The chipboard again is from Dusty Attic (Baroque Frames - Square). Here is the cover of the magazine.... This magazine never disappoints if you are into layouts that are just filled with technique! And the beauty of it is that they make it easy for their readers to recreate similar designs. Each of the layouts are broken down into step by steps by each of the page designers so that you can easily follow how to make the page designs. You can subscribe to this wonderful magazine HERE. I'll be back on Wednesday to share another couple of layouts I had pubbed in this gorgeous magazine! Thanks so much for stopping by today! xo xo
