Loveable Scrapbook Layout with Nancy Nickel

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here, with a fun new post for Southern Ridge Trading Company!
Today I'm sharing a simple and sweet Valentine project!

  I always have several 8 X 8 Albums going. 
Some are seasonal, like the Winter one I shared last month. 
Some are filled with assorted pages that I've been inspired to make.
This is one of those pages.

It was the beautiful Abstract Heart Frames,
from Southern Ridge Trading Company,
that inspired this page.

I started by gathering all my supplies.

I dabbed the heart chipboard frames with embossing ink,

sprinkled them with the embossing enamel, and heat set. 

I repeated the process using the pink embossing powder,

on the "Loveable" and the three little hearts. 

I laid the smaller heart frame onto an old photo of my daughters.

This was taken back in the day...when they were still "Loveable"! ;o)

 Using my blade, I cut the photo to fit the frame. 

If you don't like using a blade, just draw around the frame, 

and cut out with scissors. 

Here's a close-up of the intricate frame, and the sparkly enamel. 

The "Loveable" is so shiny and pink!

 I adhered the 6" decorative paper to the center of the 8" cardstock base.

I adhered the large frame in place first, and then added the word in place.

Next, I added foam tape to the back of the framed photo,

and adhered it in place.

Finally, I added the three little hearts to the page.

I know that the word and little hearts would have shown up

much more clearly on the first paper I had chosen.

However, I really wanted something more whimsical and pretty.

So that's why I decided to go with this paper!

Cute Family Scrapbook Layout with Deonna Riegler

Hello all my crafty friends,

Here is a little bonus project I made with the words “Cute and Family” from Southern Ridge Trading Company.

I had a several beautiful picture’s of my son’s wedding and I thought showed a start to a “Cute Family”.

I first painted the Chipboard words and let them dry.  I then add a layer Nuvo sparkle let them and dry.

I cut my photos into the desired sizes to run along the page, cut out all my embellishments and inked them.  Since I had this page kit pack and it went well with my theme I used it. I tied it all together with a large dolly punch I had and then glued all the little embellishment pieces around the circle picture of my son and his beautiful bride added the title.

I think it all came together well and they are on the way to being a Cute Family!

Gorgeous Scrapbook Layout with Deonna Riegler

Good morning Crafty Friends,

This post is bright and cheery; I love the colours on the page and used something new for me.

I used the frame piece and the word Gorgeous from Southern Ridge Trading Company, painted them first with a shimmery paint and covered entirely and let them dry.  I the broke out a new small watercolour set and used the yellow, green and purples from the paper I was going to use. Painted to my liking and heat set with clear embossing powder then topped it off with a shimmer from perfect pearls!  I took an additional title to complete my page and coloured it the same way.

Cut and matted my photo’s and papers, added a cluster of flowers and a yellow crochet dollies pop dotted it up to add dimension and put it all together.

The results I think show a happy evening with my Love!

100% Authentic with Deonna Riegler

Good afternoon to all with my first project for Southern Ridge Trading Company.  I hope you enjoy my first piece and maybe take away a little bit of crafty fun!

My first project was inspired by a quote that I try to live by daily.  It often seems like all the tasks we take on feels overwhelming.  This quote makes me step back from myself, take a deep breath and go on.

Courage does not always roar.  Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.  By Mary Radmacher

I decided the picture of a lioness depicts the quote best so I superimposed the quote onto the picture.  Them pulled from the yellow tones of the coat of the lioness and the regale quality of the silvers to pulled it all together.  I used several pieces of yellow with white, grey and silver. I like to mat my main page and picture.  I then inked all my edges with pewter ink.  I pulled several flowers, leaves and stems to make a cluster of flowers to bring the feminine edge to the page.  Arranged all thy papers to my liking. I then used the Southern Ridge Trading Company chipboard pieces “100%” and “Authentic” to bring home the words of the quote by first painting them silver then sprinkled with a small amount of silver glitter. I placed them in a prominent spot on the page to complete it.

Remember Always Mini Album with Charlene Byrd

Hello Bloggers!

Charlene here! Thanks for joining me. Today I am sharing with you a mini album that was created with love and a whole lot of tears! My older brother, at the age of only 49, was tragically killed in a car accident last week. It breaks my heart that he is gone and I will never understand why life can be so unfair, but what is worse is that he was married to the most amazing woman for 18 shorts days. For the first time in his life he was truly happy and loved unconditionally. I created this album for his wife so she can treasure and remember all the good times they had together.
