Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

Hi Lovelies, Each month at The Scrap N Patch the wonderful Helen designs a new double layout which is sold as a take home kit! As always, the layouts are just stunning and involve many fun techniques! This month Helen has chosen the exciting new Prima 'Chery Blossom' range to create two pages of delicate pink goodness.  The Cherry Blossom collection features various pink, grey and white tones and is filled with beautiful cherry blossom flowers and butterflies - everything you need to make a stunning layout! One of Helen's signature statement accents is the use of chipboard embellishments which are so versatile and can be customised to match your project perfectly. Here Helen has used some fine copper glitter to cover the chipboard and match in with the copper accents in the page. This page really has a special sparkle and shine to it, it's divine! These gorgeous lace blossoms have been paired with hand-dyed ribbon, delicate feathers and adorab...

Hi Lovelies, Today I'm sharing with you another sneak peek of an upcoming double Layout Class whit the wonderful Helen! In this class you will create two stunning layouts using two different ranges, both of them having interactive pieces which makes them super fun to create and look at! The first layout features the new Bo Bunny 'Cotton Tail' range which is filled with various pastel coloured flowers and patterns with lots of adorable bunnies hidden among them. This layout is perfect for all of those precious Easter photos you would have collected over the past few weeks. As I mentioned earlier, this layout also features a fun little interactive element, which also doubles on practicality. With this lift out you can add two photos to the one section of the layout or hide a special secret message. This chipboard sentiment is so gorgeous and intricate! Helen has inked the chipboard to match the layout and added a light coat of crackle accents to make it rea...

Hi Lovelies, Today I'm sharing with you the wonderful double layout for this month's Layout of the Month! Helen has selected Ultimate Craft's stunning 'Bohemian Bouquet' range to create two pages filled with beautiful hand-dyed flowers, elegant laces and intricate fussy cut designs. This layout uses one of Helen's signature techniques of hand-dying flowers. This is a wonderful way to ensure your embellishments co-ordinate with your chosen paper range and create a seamless finish. How gorgeous is this lace and ribbon combination?! The muted tones of the flowers, lace and papers used in this layout will perfectly suit any of your photos! The layers of patterned papers, fussy-cut designs, hand dyed flowers and lace work perfect together, creating a high impact layout without distracting from your photos. Helen has selected a few sentiments and words from the 'Bohemian Bouquet' pages to add to her layout. There are so many sweet verse...

Hi Lovelies, Today's post is a bit of a unique one! We're showing you three different ways you can use the same paper range. We have created a Mixed Media page, Layout and Mini Album  using 'Chesterville' by Blue Fern Studios. The 'Chesterville' paper acts as the perfect background or base for any project.  The neutral, earthy colours and patterns will suit any photos and embellishments. All three projects are very different. To see more of each project and how it's been created,  simply click on the picture! The first wonderful creation from this range is a Mixed Media layout.  This layout focuses on focusing on lots of colourful embellishments and uses  the amazing Tim Holtz Distress Oxides to create a frosted layer over the Chesterville paper.  This layout features the page 'Bretton' which has been  softly inked to change it to the desired colour. The coordinating Blue Fern  flowers have also be...

Hi Lovelies,  With only a few days left till our final Mega Scrap for the year,  I thought I might tease you with a few sneak peek photos  from these STUNNING layouts! Helen has used the sparkling new Graphic 45 range 'Winter Wonderland'  to create ten gorgeous layouts for the ten lucky ladies attending!    The range is filled with adorable little birds amongst pine trees, holly and poinsettia,  you might even spy a few tiny squirrels!

I can't take my eyes off them. Look at this stunning chipboard accent with a beautiful layer of shimmery glitter. Our Mega Scrap Classes often sell out right away, so if you're...

Hi Lovelies, What says Spring more than loads of beautiful butterflies, adorable little birds and wispy ferns?  Not much I don't think. These beautiful images come from Helen's Double Layout Class featuring 'Vintage Artistry' by 49 and Market. The collection is just stunning and Helen has truly done it justice by turning it into a wonderful double page creation! Helen used a lovely chipboard sentiment from Celebr8's collection 'Good Vibes'. A finishing touch of Glossy Accents was added to the chipboard and fussy-cut butterflies. This style of layout is the perfect way to use up all your left over pieces of paper, ribbon cut-offs and anything else you could think of! Sounds great to me! Helen created this adorable pocket from some of the Vintage Artistry embellishments. It could be used purely for decorative purposes or the perfect little place to store keepsakes and letters. The various layers of paper, hessi...
