 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching my tutorial today. I am back with a scrapbook layout I know it's been a few weeks I've just been so busy with some commission work and other things just sometimes take over and I haven't really had the chance so I'm back and I have been having fun I've been catching up so I'm sharing this really fun colorful layout with you today and it's using the new Dream in Color collection from Rotie Studio and I actually purchased this about four weeks ago I think now and I have played a little bit with it but I haven't really you know had a good kind of go so I have brought everything out for this one and you can see that I briefly showed you some of the stuff everything will be linked in my blog and I'm just going through the paper here so this is the 12x12 paper pack really gorgeous beautiful print stripes sparkle you've got the foiling through there it's unicorns it's magical it's whimsical it's just really really nice so I pulled out a few here as I wasn't too sure which one I wanted to use yeah I was going to I had the idea initially I was going to be cutting kind of strips from all different ones and then I decided to go for something a bit different so you can just see here I'm kind of playing around now the photo is one of me and some of my bestest friends from school we've known each other a long time and this was from my birthday in January this year they surprised me in a to a lovely kind of like a it was just like a really nice kind of lodge we had a hot tub and we're all there in our robes and it was just a really lovely two nights away with the people I love the most so yeah I wanted to scrap it this layout so I'm going through these are the pack of dye cuts that you get you can see there you get some really really again really fun lovely images and sentiments and just smiley faces and hearts and all that kind of stuff so I've pulled out a few there to the right and then I've just brought in here this is my ink spray mist by Cosmic Shimmer I can't remember the colors I'm using here again I will share them it was just a real nice kind of turquoise and then I brought in a pink color as well and I just let the paper absorb the color so it didn't take long to dry then I'm bringing in some of my red tape here this is my double-sided tape and I'm creating some strips just different lengths along the bottom and I so I do some vertical and some horizontal strips and this is just from the double-sided glitter technique that I shared last week beginning the last week loads of you really liked it and are going to give it a go it's been around for years it's something I've done lots as well but I just thought I was going to do it again because I picked up some really nice glitters which are here from B&M in the UK these are £4.99 for all of these glitters and I just thought that these colors in this collection worked really well with the colors that I'm pulling out now in the glitters so you'll see what I'm going to do in a second but I'm just pulling out those real nice kind of real bright fluorescent colors there so I've covered all of the area that I wanted with the double-sided tape and then I'm just peeling off one at a time and I'm going to sprinkle a different color of glitter so those of you that watched that tutorial last week I'll link that in here as well actually for anybody that's not seen it because I made some really nice cards I'm just going along and I'm just spreading out and pushing all the glitter into the double-sided tape it won't stick anywhere else apart from that double-sided tape so you can see on the ends I just kind of cut them on an angle just to give it a little bit of you know something there rather than just the blunt edge and it took to the the glitter the sticky tape really really well actually and you can see there just how well now when you see me put the next one on they almost look like the same so I think kind of the the iridescent the yeah hang on a minute when I do if you see now when this kind of when I rub it around you see it looks like the same color below and I think that's just my lighting obviously hitting the glitter and it just creates that same color but once it all comes off there we go you can see all the different colors and in real life it looks great so I'm just now going to start framing that photo so I already had it printed with a white frame that's what I was going to say and then I am going to frame it with this flower background although you don't really see a lot of it I just like so it had little bits of all the colors kind of poking through and then I will pop it as well on the purple this one here there are three I think it is of each design so I wasn't too worried that I was cutting into this particular sheet so I do really like it I'm going to use it for a layout but I wanted that matching purple you know frame there just around just so you can really see the the other pattern paper underneath so that's my photo kind of already now and I've popped some foam adhesive on it to just give it some dimension and now because I'm sticking this on top of glitter I'm using my strong tacky glue there just to make sure it does stick down over that surface just above the bottom glitter strip there just so you can see that and I think it's starting to look really good so now I slowly start to bring in all of these die cuts and just play around I haven't stuck anything down as yet I'm just kind of deciding you know where roughly I want things to go what bits I want to use and what I don't I end up sticking some bits down and then I take them back off again so I haven't kept the whole kind of process of this because I did kind of go back and forth with it a little bit so it does jump ahead in parts but I just wanted to kind of give you an idea of how long these things take sometimes sometimes they're really quick this layout took about an hour and a half in total so I did go away have a cup of tea come back got distracted with the phone call and yeah so once it's it wouldn't usually take this long this is a lovely saying I really like this and it says stay close to the people who feel like sunshine these are people along with a few others that aren't in this photo and my best friend Kate are the people that I would tell anything to I can trust them with my life they are wonderful people so yeah I really liked that little cut out there now this one happiness is this I did stick down and I ended up taking that away so although it goes there I just I don't know after a while I just thought it's all a bit too much so I just took that one off because I just wanted that one in the yellow to really kind of stand out these are the epoxy stickers so that one I just popped in the photo says smiles and then this is the one that says besties which I just thought was great and obviously it all matches because it's from the same collection so I'm just popping that one just lining it up with the lines on the paper there which was quite easy to do and these are all the little stars oh no sorry these are the arrows I bring in the stars in a moment so they were facing the other direction I'm just flipping them around so obviously it's pointing to the photo now starting to kind of really cement everything in place so sticking it all down because like I said I don't tend to stick everything down until I'm 100% I've got a hashtag birthday because it was my birthday weekend got the rainbow and then I'm bringing in these are from the sticker embellishment pack so I've got best of times friends for life good times and fabulous I'm bringing in there and just above that it says soul sisters which I thought was another nice one as well which is on that glitter strip so now I'm bringing in one of these gorgeous these are called the metal trinkets and they're little stars you get nine in a pack I've got two packs this one's just got rainbow colors in it but there are ones that say cute and sassy be free or free spirit things like that it's a really nice and you can have them hanging from mini albums your diary planners things like that then I'm bringing in some of the little stars which again were from the epoxy sticker pack and now I've just got some of my perfect pearls ranger mist I was just covering the photo and I just went over and stuck that and sprayed it all over and then I trimmed the actual layout down and then I framed it with white just again let it kind of pop and stand out more and now I'm finishing my layout with some white neva drops because I think again I just wanted that to work with the white frame around the photo the white frame around the layout and then the white neva drops and the little white stars so just thought that kind of balanced it and there you have it really really fun glittery happy bright layout to remember that really fun weekend and my gosh we had a giggle so I hope you've enjoyed this layout I will get back on track again and be sharing them every Sunday again I've already got a few banked now so but yeah sometimes just things you know you know what it's like they just get in the way but um yeah I hope you've enjoyed it as always I will link all of the supplies I've used and I'll be back again next Sunday with another layout thanks for watching bye
