 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial. This week's scrapbook layout is one of me and my best friend Kate. This one was taken in 2007, so it's a little bit old now on one of our, well it was one of our very early nights out and I thought I would scrapbook it. It's been in frames a lot of the time and I thought now it's time to actually put it to a scrapbook layout. So I'm pulling in some real bright block colors for this layout. I wanted a bit of a pop-art kind of look to it so I'm cutting everything down and I'm starting to tear the paper. I want to have this ripped edge. The striped paper is slightly smaller than the pink paper so that when I lay them all out I can have about a quarter of an inch gap between each one. So I'm just putting it all back into place again but with a one-eighth of an inch kind of gap so that it just creates, you know, just something different, a different look so it's the same paper again but this time it's got a gap between it and it's all ripped, a little bit distressed. So with the picture it's a funny shape, I think I must have cut it down years ago for some reason. It was taken by one of these photographers that walk around the town and then they upload them and you can download them and stuff so the quality is not great but I still really love it. So I'm just framing it on white then I'm framing it on the same kind of pinky purple color that I'm using and then I'm framing it again on white again so I've got quite a few layers to this but I just wanted it to really kind of lift up on the page. Then I'm just deciding where I'm going to go for this one. I spend ages just moving them around and as you probably can tell now I can spend quite some time doing that. Now because I wanted a bit of a pop-up kind of look about it I wanted to bring in black, I just want that real kind of contrast with the, you know, the harsh black against the kind of pastel colors so I just want to create a background area for my picture. So I've got these splat stamps and you'll see me bringing some other designs as well and I just randomly start splatting them on the layout there just within the area where I'm intending to have the photo. So I wasn't really sure how this was going to turn out but generally scrapbooks they're quite easy to save so if you ever think oh gosh I'm not liking what I'm doing right now, you know you can add so much you can just keep adding and layering up to scrapbook layout so I've got some other longer ones there now you can see I'm bringing smaller ones and it does start to come together I actually start to like it. So this is just the American Crafts Best Friends that I'm bringing in here, a little puffy sticker it's quite thick actually this one's about I'd say it's about four five millimeters it was a really really thick one so I've gone for that at the bottom so now I'm just frame it putting some foam on the back of my picture as well so again that's lifted to the same kind of height as the best friends. Then I'm bringing in some of my Rosie's Studio stickers just marking the year for this page which was 2007 and then I've got some of the words here and I use bring on the night because that was what it was we were on a night out and then I've also got fun times which was another sticker and I'm just adding glue to the back of them because I don't always stick down that great so I just like to make sure they're never going to peel off. Then I am adding this oh yeah this is the little paper clip so these are also part of Rosie's Studio they're really nice it just brings another kind of material to the page along with these brads that I'm now adding so I'm just using my poke tool there just to pin through some holes and then I'm just splitting the backs of the pins there and again they're the same colors that match in with the papers that are also from Rosie's Studio so I just yeah I just wanted lots of texture which is what I always do with my layouts. I needed something in the top right so I've just got this black and white washi tape which again kind of ties in that theme of that kind of pop art look so I'm just doing a few strips of it at the top there and then just flip it over and just fold them on the back because that's all going to be covered once I stick it into my scrapbook album anyway so you don't need to worry too much when you use the washi tape it's quite easy to use and it's all come together. Now it needed a little bit of sparkle so I do come in with my Winkistella because the black VersaFine is very matte it's very dull and I needed it to be lifted so I'm just going over all those splats with my Winkistella and it really did lift it it looked really nice and it just kind of tied in I don't know just tied it in a bit better and I also went over the Best Friends Puff East sticker there as well with it I'm also bringing in the Nuvo drops at the end just to add another kind of splat look but this time these ones obviously have got that dimension and I added loads you'll see them in the pictures and close up here I've added loads and loads of white ones as well so again it just I wanted the picture to look like it's exploding 2007 Best Friends night out and it just yeah it really worked it was really quick really easy to do and just another way to just show you how you can make your pages you know anywhere you want so that's this week's scrapbook layout me and my best friend using Rosie Studio supplies hope you've enjoyed it hope I've inspired you remember to leave comments as normal and a thumbs up if you've enjoyed today thanks for watching bye
