There is nothing more beautiful than a sleeping newborn and today I have a layout featuring my daughter less than a week old. I wanted to create a dream like layout in keeping with my photo.
I chose a wood grain background paper and splattered some gold paint over it lightly.
I have used a heart cut file and attached gold glitter paper to some hearts but you could simply hand cut a heart and then use a heart punch to create the same effect. I have used the Helmar Craft and Hobby PVA glue to attach my heart background. It dries clear and your paper will not crumple due to using a wet glue.
I framed my photo with a gold chipboard frame to ensure it remained the focus of the layout. Here I used the Helmar Professional Woodworking PVA glue which is ideal for soft woods and chipboards (my frame being a heavy chipboard). I used it also to attach my wooden flair at the top of the frame.
To finish of my frame feature I have used a cut file floral cluster which I backed with a pink striped paper. I used the Helmar 450 Quick Adhesive as the paper piece was fine and I wanted it to dry quickly with no unsightly marks, this glue dries crystal clear so it was perfect.
I Used Helmar Premium Craft Glue to attach my quote 'my sweet baby girl' as glitter can be difficult to attach to and this glue worked perfectly.
I used Helmar Gemstone Glue to attach the gold dot just under my floral cluster.
I wanted to create another feature in the upper left corner so here I went for a cloud and stars in keeping with my theme. I used Helmar Scrap dots to attach the acrylic cloud to give the illusion than it was floating. I then used the Helmar Premium Craft Glue to attach the Acetate star (needing it to dry clear as it wold show through if not) and finished with an acrylic star attached using the Premium Craft Glue again.
My title is another cut file, using white card stock, I then brushed on the Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and then sprinkled some glitter over it before it dried to add texture and visual interest. When completely dry I then attached to my page again using the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. I finished off my title adding a chipboard bow using the PVA Professional Woodworking Glue which is brilliant for attaching heavy materials such as chipboard.
Thank you for stopping by today and happy scrapping x
