Louise was a little daunted when she received the new Yankee Doodles collection from We R Memory Keepers, but not having anything particularly 'patriotic' to scrap didn't stop her creating this sweet and cute layout of her youngest son.
By creating a large star from the background paper and doing some fussy cutting around the doodles, she utilised what would normally have been thought of strictly as an American 4th of July type of look into something totally usable for so many themes of photo's.
Jane used the papers from the WeR-41775 Travel Light 4x6 pad, stamp WeR-41784 images on white card with black ink and cut them out. The plane was coloured with WeR Yanky Doodles doodle pens which added some sparkle and are lovely to use she said! A WeR Yanky Doodles large star brad and string were added to complete the card.
The completed work was layered on ASS-TCS-067 Denim and ASS-TCS-017 Cranberry card.
Jane stamped WeR-41758 Tres Elegant clear stamps Blossom on ASS-TCS-034 vanilla card using a brown ink and then it was cut out as shown. It was mounted on a sheet from WeR Tres Elegant 4x6 pad.
Two images from WeR Tres Elegant banner images were stamped on vanilla card using a red and brown ink, it was then cut out and attached to the blossom stem using string. A strip of paper from WeR Fiesta 4x6 pad was added to the bottom and a row of WeR-41763 half pearls with string was added on top. Jane then layer the piece on folded ASS-TCS-041 chestnut card.
This adorable piece was made by Ingeborg Dijkstra, the colours of the Nonsense collection are so bright and cheery, perfect for decorating a jar full of hot chocolate ingredients!!
And here we leave you with a few pieces of inspiration from the We R Memory Keepers idea gallery. The two layouts above use the Travel Light range of patterned papers and accessories, obviously perfect for holiday and travel snaps, but many of the patterns are far more versatile than that.
And this wonderful notebook makes stunning use of the Tres Elegant range, which is pretty much exactly what it’s called. Elegant and soft and chic, and with colours that could work with both masculine or feminine themes.
