Guest Design Layout for Color- Stories-Information #260

Hi all, 

Tres Jolie is a sponsor for CSI - color stories inspiration this month.

CSI is a bimonthly scrapbook challenge designed to inspire scrapbookers to tell their stories and to create beautiful, meaningful pages based on a color scheme and an inspiration image.
To see how to play along with the CSI case files follow the link below
http://csichallenge.blogspot.com/p/rules.html

Tres Jolie is kindly donating one of our scrapbook kits as one of the prizes for this months winners.

Today we are Guest Designing for the latest case file.

Here is how I solved the case.

Here is the case file for #260

Now for some close ups and details :)

How I solved the case file:

* Copy the Colour Scheme

* Remind yourself of a story from your photos

* Inspired by the style or design or technique 

My layout was inspired by the holiday theme and the word 'Escape'. 

My favourite place to escape to is Tenby in Pembrokeshire in South Wales, UK.

It is a seaside fishing town with an array of town houses all painted in different colours and has the most amazing atmosphere, beautiful views, gorgeous beaches and a lovely town full of little shops and cafes to wind away a sunny (or rainy) day!

My journaling reflects this on the back of the layout.

I used the Prima Santorini papers from the kit , these fitted the colour scheme from the Case File really well. All I had to do was add some yellow.

I cut up the journal card paper to create my layers behind my photo which also help set the scene.

The edges were inked with a Versa colour ink pad.

The Shabby Chic Treasure added a architectural element to the layout. In Tenby there is an amazing statue at the top of the hill looking out over the town.

On my background I dd a little texture paste stencilling and added some 'splatting' with a mist.

The beautiful flowers from the Santorini collection from Prima were just gorgeous. These clustered up around the layout and picked out the colours in the town houses around Tenby. 

The layout is finished off with the Say it In Crystals gems in fantastic two tone blue colours!

This is Me - Sketch Layout Tres Jolie Kit Club

Hi all, today I'm sharing my layout I created based on this months challenge sketch.

Kim has created another lovely sketch which fits the August kit perfectly.

I just loved the gorgeous papers in the kit this month, some soft and then some bright and bold.
A lot of these papers were perfect for fussy cutting, creating more elements to use on your layouts and to help create depth.
As usual the kit has been put together with perfectly coordinated embellishments there are flowers rom 48 & Market and Prima. I nice selection of chippies and resin to feature on your pages.
What I love about these kits is the amount of paper you get! If like me you like layers and lots of them then these kits are perfect with lots of coordinated papers included.


So on to my sketch layout. This layout I used the Santorini papers but the softer sides. I kept it quite pink, soft and girlie.

This is the sketch. A lovely sketch open to interpretation but perfect with this kit. 

Now I will show you a few close ups and a few notes on what I did with some items from the kit. 

This month I have tried very hard to only use August kit products, with only the use of inks, gesso and embossing powders added. We will see how well I did at this as the month goes on! LOL

The music score chipboard piece I cut in half and embossed with a white embossing powder. I then slotted it into my torn paper layers.

We had a lovely pack of gems in some gorgeous colours. The pink ones were perfect for this page. I used them in groups of 3 around the layout. I always use the 'rule of 3', things just seem more balanced this way! 

I used several different coordinated papers and tore them to get my rough shabby edges, I am not very good with cut edges! 

I have then layered them up, showing a little bit of each paper from underneath the one on top. 

I then layered some of the beautiful white flower lace in these paper layers as well. It looks so feminine and soft.

I did some faux stitching on this layout with a Distress Marker pen, oopps from my stash..

I drew the dashes around several edges of my paper layers, this is another very easy way to add a little detail to your layouts and perfect if you dont have a sowing machine or cant bare to actually sow on your papers!!

I used a combination of the 49 & Market flower, which are the bigger pink ones and then some smaller Prima flowers. You can see other places I have added the flower lace too.

I also used a punch in odd random places on the edge of my layers to add a little more detail.

Friends layout for Tres Jolie

Hello all, 

It's my last project of the month using the Tres Jolie July kit. 

I have really enjoyed creating with this kit, I hope you have enjoyed seeing all the designs created by our DT.

My layout this time is based around a central design. It is a simple layout using a texture base stencilled background and some embellishments framing the photo.

I used one of the plain dotty papers for a background paper. 

My focal background paper I trimmed 1cm off on two sides to reduce it enough in size to see a border of the dotty paper when it is mounted on it.

I punched the edge in random places around the paper and then distressed the edges.

I chose a lovely flourish stencil (not sure of the brand of this one from my stash) and designed the stencilling so that when I add the central design some of the stencilling will show out from under the edges.

My photo is layered on a neutral patterned paper with the doilies and overlapped on the chipboard piece that has been heat embossed with a white embossing powder.

I then added the flowers, leaves, badges, some metals and Nuvo drops around the layout to finish it.

Here are some close ups of the finished layout.

I again used some fussy cut butterflies cut from that gorgeous paper full of them!

The title was a chippie from my stash but was perfect for this layout so I had to use it. It is just simply covered with a couple coats of white gesso.

Everything on this layout is from the July Scrapbook Kit except the metal cogs (which are from the Mixed Media Kit) and the chippy title. The texture paste is from the June Mixed Media kit.

Fussy Cut Layout fro Tres Jolie Kit Club

Hello all,

 I'm back with a layout made with the Tres Jolie July Kit.

This one I think is my favourite one from this kit that I have created this month. 

I did some fussy cutting from the beautiful Lemoncraft papers to create layers and detail on this page...

 I used 2 identical photos on this layout. One I kept whole and the other I cut in half! Shock horror!

The cut one I layered either side of the whole, slightly offsetting it. 

These papers from Lemoncraft were perfect for fussy cutting! I cut out two large flower clusters and used these either side of my photos. 

The photos and these two layers are set up of the page using cardboard but you could use foam pads.

I do like a little dimension to my pages. Lifting layers off the page also allows you to slot embellishments under layers to soften edges and create a real 3d effect.

You dont need to use too many embellishments to create a pretty and lovely looking layout. This layout doesn't really have much on it but with the choice of papers and the fussy cutting it looks a full and covered page.

I used the doily under the photos as another layer and added some stamping with a stamp from my collection to add extra detail, another feature with out having to use an embellishment, so if your near the end of your kit and struggling for embellishments, remember things like stamping to fill a layout out.

I did some pink splattering in the background using the pink PearlEx mixed with water and a paint brush, I cut the some little flowers out of the beautiful gold lace and stuck them around the layout too! 

Im a real fan of the NuvoCrystal drops and all the lovely colours they come in. The one in the kit is called Buttermilk. I used the Nuvo around the layout with the odd drop here and there!

The crystal drops are from my stash but just thought they added a beautiful effect to the design and gave it a bit of extra bling. You can never have too much bling!!!!!
