You make life wonderful.

 Good morning from a beautiful Spring morning in Benoni, Gauteng, South Africa..

We have had a particularly cold winter, so I am happy for a nice, sunny morning that doesn't chill you to the bone.

There’s something magical about turning into something beautiful and useful. 

This week, I’ve been working on a double-page layout.  

I am excited to finally share it with you!  

This double-page layout brought me so much joy. I went back to basics in a way.

I’ll walk you through how I made it and share a few tips.

      The product I used is called Serendipity - Penelope Dee

You make life wonderful.

    Photos: 4 x 4 x 6” (10 x 15 cm) portrait/upright and a 3” (7.8 x 7.8 cm) squared photo for the frame.

Paper: 2 x white patterns (background pages), 2 x dark blue patterns, 2 x light blue (for matting the photos), 2 x blue floral, and ½ pages of 3 different blue patterns. ( I used Penelope Dee Serendipity)

Embellishments:

6 x Flowers (different shades of blue), 2 x chipboard titles, 1 x chipboard frame, 1 x butterfly and fussy cut elements/ ephemera..

Assemble the pages:

•  Color all the chippies. I used Ranger Oxides – Faded Jeans.
•  Arrange the 2 background pages next to each other.
• · Use the blue floral and cut 2 pieces 10 x 8 ¼” (25.3 x 21 cm).
•  Stick this on the pages right against the center edges and about 2” (5cm) from the top edges.
• Use the dark blue pattern and cut 2 pieces 9 ½ x 7 ¼”(24.2 x 17.8cm)
• Stick these pieces on the floral also against the center edge.  Making sure you have even borders on the 3 sides.
• Use the frame chippie and line it with any pattern piece you prefer. Just leave one side open for you to slide the photo in.
• Use all 4 the photos and mat it on the light blue pattern 4 ¼ x 6 ¼ “(10.5 x 15.5 cm).
• Add the small photo inside the chippie frame.
• Make the hexagon shapes using different color patterns for this. You will need about 16.
• Stick these on the page as shown.
•   Add the chippies, flowers, and the rest of the embellishments as shown in the picture.
