First crop talk

Consider now I am on a break with casual meets and workshops I thought it might be nice to share some of the layout ideas I have done throughout the year or so. You are welcome to use them if it inspires you to try out.

You need to have a jumbo star cutter from Creative Memories and two CM cutter blades to be able to do this layout idea. 

You cut three different coloured star ribbons and mount down on the page as shown on the left. 

And you need a bold star shape cut and mount onto the main cardstock before you add the star ribbons on top.
This layout is quite simple.  If you have scrap strips of paper of plain or printed, this layout is ideal to use them.

Firstly you need a triangle shaped paper cut to fit the album page.  Add strips of scrap papers onto your triangle. Cut ends to make the triangler shape.  Add photos onto your tree and add a small star punch on top and a medium square punch on the bottom (as the base of your tree).
Requirements:  small circle punch and a "L" template created to use on the main photo.  Cut two L shapes on the photo.  See layout to show how the "L" template was used.  Mount the cutting onto paper/cardstock.

Cut a medium sized circle to add behind the long strip as illustrated.  Then add the small circle punches on one of the half circle.  The rest are added to the other side where the shorter paper is (as illustrated).

Use one 2-3 inch strip to mount down the page.  Add a standard photo sized paper to the right side of the page. Then mount the photo on top between the long strip and the shorter one.

Have fun creating!
