You will need:

Basic Supply List

Adhesive foam squares
Bendable ruler (optional)
Fringe scissors (any papercrafting scissors can be used if you do not have fringe scissors)
Liquid adhesive (I use Tombow Mono Liquid Glue)
Paper trimmer
Pencil
Photo (4X6)
Tape runner adhesive (I use the Scotch ATG 714 but any tape runner adhesive will do)


November Creative Kit Supply List 

Green Plaid patterned paper
Pinebough patterned paper  
Woodgrain Snowflake patterned paper

3 - wood snowflake pieces
Cardstock Stickers - (From the large sticker sheet) - I Love Winter Banner, Winter Memories, Bird, Buck, Sleigh, Snowflakes, Snowball Bucket
Chipboard Stickers - Cabin, Trees, "Snow Days Are The Best" Sticker

Instructions:

Using a paper trimmer, cut the green plaid patterned paper 12 inches by 3 1/2 inches.

Drawing freehand with a pencil or using a bendable ruler, draw a wavy line across the page along the bottom edge of the paper.


Cut along the pencil line with scissors.



With the fringe scissors, or with a regular scissors, cut fringe across the bottom of the green plaid patterned paper. Note: Be sure to not cut fringe more than an inch from the top edge of the plaid paper as this will be the border to adhere the fringe paper to the background paper. 



Repeat with the woodgrain snowflake paper and cut two paper strips measuring 12 inches by 3 1/2 inches and draw a wavy line with a pencil or use a bendable ruler and draw a pencil line. 

Cut out with scissors.

Cut fringe across the bottom of each paper strip leaving a one inch border on the top edge to adhere the strips to the background paper. 

From the November Creative Kit, find the 12 inch X 12 inch sheet of pine bough patterned paper. This will be the background paper for the layout.


Adhere one of the woodgrain snowflake fringe paper strips to the top edge of the pinebough background paper. 

Adhere the green plaid fringe paper strip approximately 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the background paper.


Add the bottom woodgrain snowflake patterned paper fringe strip to the bottom edge of the pinebough background patterned paper and adhere.


When the two woodgrain snowflake fringe paper strips and the one green plaid fringe paper strip are adhered to the pinebough patterned paper, it should look like the photo below.


Mat the 4 X 6 photo onto a piece of woodgrain snowflake paper and adhere.

Mat and adhere the photo and woodgrain snowflake paper onto a piece of green plaid paper.

Adhere the matted photo onto the pinebough paper about two inches from the left edge of the paper making sure that the photo is tucked behind the top and bottom fringe as shown below.


Place the border paper to the right of the photo and tuck it under the photo's edge and adhere.

Add the "I Love Winter" banner over the border paper as shown. 

Add the "Snow Days Are The Best Days" chipboard sticker to the right of the "I Love Winter" banner sticker as shown below. 




Add the "Winter Memories" sticker near the top right corner of the layout.

Add a wood snowflake, that is dabbed with liquid adhesive, below the sticker as shown.



Add the "green sleigh" sticker to the right of the "Snow Days Are The Best Days" chipboard sticker as shown below.

Add the two tree stickers below the sleigh popping up with some foam adhesive squares to layer the trees.

Add the "cabin" chipboard sticker to the left of the trees and to the bottom of the border paper and adhere.

Add another wood snowflake piece to the bottom of the layout onto the right edge of the green plaid paper fringe.




Add the "buck" sticker that is popped up with some foam adhesive squares to the bottom right corner of the layout and adhere.

Add a snowflake sticker and adhere.

Add the "bird" sticker, that is popped up with foam adhesive squares, to the snowflake sticker and to the left side of  the "buck" sticker.



Add the snowball bucket sticker to the bottom left corner of the photo and stick down.

Add a "pinebough sticker" and a small red "snowflake" sticker below the wood snowflake piece and adhere.

For the larger "snowflake" sticker, add a foam adhesive square to the backside of the sticker and adhere below the wood snowflake and beside the "snowball bucket" sticker.





The layout is now complete!


I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and are inspired to try the fringe technique. I love the texture and interest it gives to this rustic layout. 

Have a great day!

Creating came easy with this one. Here is one of my layouts. I will be sharing a tutorial on this layout later this month so be sure and check back soon.

Anchors Away Layout In Scrapbook & Cards Today Summer 2015 Magazine!

Hello friends!  Happy Friday! It's a good day here today. My son has finished his last final exam for grade ten so school is officially out for summer! I remember that wonderful feeling well.

Today I wanted to share my layout that was published in the Summer 2015 issue of Scrapbook And Cards Today Magazine.

Anchors Away Layout - by Lee-Anne Thornton (photo courtesy of Allison Orthner)

On my birthday three years ago, my husband gave me a wonderful gift…a cruise of the Hawaiian Islands on the Norwegian Cruise Lines Pride Of America.  This wasn't just any cruise, it was Crop And Cruise 2012, a scrapbooking and photography cruise with at least 80 Canadian women and American women and did we have lots of laughs and fun let me tell you.  I have never been on a cruise before and never been to Hawaii so it was amazing!  We docked in several ports and saw Maui, Kauai, The Big Island Of Hawaii,  and Oahu (Honolulu).

My layout was created with the Ahoy There Collection of papers and stickers, the die cut title and nautical wheel were cut with my Sihouette Cameo from designs that are available in the Silhouette Online Store.  The background stamp and and flair buttons are from Creative Embellishments.

I can't tell you how honored I am to be published in this magazine among such talented designers.  It really is a dream come true for me.  

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.  Be sure and check out the new summer issue of Scrapbook And Cards Today here.  My layout is on page 64.


Thank you for stopping by! Have a great weekend and don't forget to make time for something you love!

May 2015 Scrapping Our Stash Blog Hop


Hello friends! I hope you are enjoying the blog hop so far.  Aren't the projects truly amazing and inspiring?  You should have arrived here from Kristy's blog but if not,  here is the hop list so you don't miss a thing:

Juliana www.17turtles.com 

When my family gets together, we play board games or play cards so I searched my paper stash and found some great papers from the Carta Bella's Well Played Collection from 2013.  It is such a strong high quality paper that is perfect to hand stitch on because it doesn't bend easily.  I also used four colors of DMC embroidery floss and stitched around several of the circle elements.  All the circles were created with a various sizes of circle paper punches including the photos.  To add to the circle theme, flair buttons from A Flair For Buttons were added to as well as some mist splatters, sequins and enamel dots.  The layout was inspired by a sketch designed by Allison Davis.

Summer Is #Happy Memories

Hello friends! Today I am sharing my layout over at Creative Embellishments using the Sunny Days wood veneer for the little sun in the right hand corner of my layout, the Conversation Hearts, the Arrow and the chipboard Social Hashtag word #happy.  




 For the wood and chipboard,  I used acrylic paint in yellow, red and green and applied them with a paint dabber as well as 


the chipboard Social Media Hashtag word #happy.  


I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the background in white card stock and backed it with some patterned papers from Carta Bella's Summer Lovin' Collection.  I also added some stickers, a crochet heart and flair.


Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting! Be sure and check out the wood veneers and chipboard  embellishments in the Creative Embellishments store.

Practical Scrappers June Blog Hop - Use Your Stash



Hello everyone!  Welcome to the June Blog Hop at Practical Scrappers.  For this month and every month we are scrapping our stash.  I don't know about you, but I know as a scrapbooker I have lots of stash so it's great to use it up.

Here is a list of the hoppers for June.  


You should have arrived here from Ruth's blog but if not you can begin at the Practical Scrappers website.  This is the monthly blog hop where the design team members and anyone else that wanted to join the hop can use our scrapbooking stash.  The rule is that the scrappy items have to be in your stash pre CHA.  That means that any scrappy items that came out before January 2014, which was the last CHA (Craft And Hobby Association Show) qualifies for this blog hop.  This is a great way to use up old paper collections and embellishments as I don't know about you, but I have enough stash for two lifetimes. LOL.

For my layout, I have several mists in my stash that I used to make the watercolour effect on my background of white card stock. I then took out some leftover patterned papers from the Carta Bella Cool Summer Collection and matted my photos and also cut an accordion flower and the word "beautiful" on my Silhouette Cameo.  The pink chipboard letter stickers and pearls have been in my stash forever.





I hope you enjoyed your visit.  Now hop on over to the talented Bobbi to see what she has created.  Thanks for stopping by!
