Come scrap with me .... Free Step by step tutorial number two from Aussiechick.

It's time for another step by step tutorial.....
My mojo is buzzing at the moment I am finding inspiration EVERYWHERE and I have so much CHA winter stash that my head is spinning so I thought I'd share the love with this cute layout using MME Gertie range  ....


Step one - I was inspired by a layout in the Bella Boulevard catalog, I loved the sketch design and knew it would be perfect for Stella and Rose.

First I gathered my STELLA & ROSE Gertie papers by My Minds Eye



Ink the edges of the You and Me Numbers
Use a scallop edge cutter to frame it in chocolate cardstock and adhere to Girly Diamonds.


Cut a flag shape from Delightful Sweet Stripe and mat in red card and ink. I used Tim Holtz Ranger  Frayed burlap distress ink.


Next lay a strip of the You and Me Numbers reverse side to the bottom left corner.


Next cut a rectangle of Girly Lace and mat in a piece of Scalloped pink card.


Next cut a strip of scalloped chocolate card and the reverse Delightful Sweet Stripe paper and adhere at the base of the flag. Then cut a small strip of Friends Forever Tapestry and place in the top left corner.


Next adhere the love "envelope" to the left center and embellish as desired. I used Gertie chipboard stickers, Prima Chipboard stickers and some old Hot off the Press acetate words along with a couple of tags that I have spritzed and place sticker on.

Love to see how you used MME as that's a brand I always struggle with.
