London Calling - My Little Scrapbook Store May On-line Crop Live!

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all doing well! - I'm on the Design Team for the My Little Scrapbook Store, and this weekend, we held a FUN On-line Virtual Crop on Facebook  - filled with lots of challenges!

I was asked to create a challenge and do a Facebook Live video, showing some fun techniques - and I'll post a link below.

I showed to "water distress," how to mix patterns from different manufacturers, how to Gut your paper, and create a 3D pocket to tuck a journaling card in.

Here is the finished layout:

I used a photo of my hubby and I in front of Westminster Abbey, while on our first trip to London, in October 2018.

This is the journaling tag ( front ) and you can also the arrows pointing to the little star where I marked London on the map!

Here is the back of the journaling tag that I tucked behind the photo. You can also see the feathery edges created by using the water distressing technique to tear the edges.

I love this cluster of embellishments!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and thanks to all who attended my Facebook Live!  I hope I've inspired you to try these techniques and play along with the My Little Scrapbook Store's May On-line Crop!  If you weren't able to watch me "live" - here is the link for the video that was recorded -

Here is the FIRST Sneak Peek:

This 1 page 12x12 Layout features BEAUTIFUL Papers from Prima's Romantique Collection!

We will create lots of layers with this VERY VINTAGE Paper collection from PRIMA, and will use Tim Holtz's Tattered Flower and Autumn Gatherings dies to create a Fab-u-lous Flower and cute little leaves adding lots of dimension to this layout.

Distressing and accents will be created using Ranger Distress Stains, and I AM IN LOVE with the BEAUTIFUL and "TRENDY" Bella Blvd Green Feather! HOTNESS!

Lately, I seem to try to use the Unique and Versatile May Arts Web Weave Ribbon, when ever I can, and love the texture it adds to this layout! To soften it up and give it a little SPARKLE - we will spray a Paper Doily with GLIMMER MIST (surprise! surprise!), and even WATER DISTRESS a few corners for more texture and visual interest!

AND... I can't wait to show you what to do with another TRENDY and "Happening" product.... BAKERS TWINE!! - another one of my new "FAVS!" To top it off, we will add a couple of VINTAGE brass buttons too!
