Factory 42 Class

Hi everyone, I wanted to share some pages I made for Junes Virtual Crop over at A Trip Down Memory Lane.  They use Kaisercraft's Factory 42 papers which have a lovely industrial feel to them. I've started with the last page I created...so this one uses up lots of the left-overs from my kit, and I add a little more colour with distress oxides - pistachio, cracked pistachio and fossilized amber.   I then layered up all the papers and added a little bit of hand drawn stitching.

There are some lovely sentiments in this collection - lots about fathers.

For this page I offset lots of squares - which does make it tricker to line up and get everything straight - something that is not my strength!  However I like how the squares provided little panels for some of the phrases from the collection.

There are also some industrial wood veneers like the taps that you can have fun with.

This was the first page, I inked up the veneers with silver and added them around my pictures.  These photos are all from the same holiday and this one shows the competitive nature of my boys...with much laughter they are trying to push each other off and defend the one protruding rock in the river at Dovedale...amazingly they didn't both end up soaked!

Here you can see some of the layers of patterns in the papers.

I hope you've enjoyed the pages.  I have been making some more with the new BoBunny collections so do go and have a look at their blog and leave me a comment if you enjoy it :)

Getting Big...You Rock

I know these are older papers from Cocoa Vanilla, but I still really love them for boy layouts!  We could choose some papers to design with this month for ATDML so I went with these.

I mounted my layers on the Galatic base, tearing a section from Starshine and Plus One.  I cut out several of the stars from Starshine and mounted them on foam dots at the top and had them cascading down the page to the title.  I used one of the large star stickers and then a mix of stamps and the stitched denim alphabet for the title.

Around the photo I layered up more stickers from the collection and also added in some little neuvo enamel style dots too.  There are loads of typewritten words which you can add to the labels.

This is my little cluster of embellishments.

Here are some of the stars - I tried to match up the colours when I was mounting them on top of the paper.

I hope you've enjoyed my page...there will be more :)
