P13 There is No Planet B - Below Stairs

Today I'm sharing my third and final project created for the Papermaze blog using There is No Planet B from P13. I've really loved using this beautiful collection. P13 isn't a brand I've ever worked with before but I'm really happy with the projects I've created and I'd certainly like to work with a P13 collection again. 

For my layout today I have used three photos taken on a visit to Blickling Hall in Norfolk.

I knew I wanted to create a scene for the background of this layout and so I downloaded from the internet a free colouring page of a staircase. The colouring page was then used to paper-piece the background the old fashioned way using scraps of papers #4 & #5 from the collection as well as some kraft coloured Bazzill cardstock.

I printed sections of the colouring page onto the papers and cardstock and then fussy cut them out before layering them onto some white cardstock. The finished scene was then matted onto Black Bazzill cardstock leaving a border round the outside.

My three photos were double matted onto white and black cardtock and then added to the layout. These were specifically placed so that two of the photos were below the stairs.

Images were fussy cut from paper #7 and placed near the bottom of the layout either side of one of the photos.

I die cut my title lettering from some black self-adhesive fun foam and stuck the letters above and below the top photo.

Finally, I printed my journalling onto cardstock strips using the computer and put these in the top left corner of the layout.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope this layout has given you some inspiration for using the There is No Planet B collection and also inspired you to get out some of those photos taken on day trips and put them on a scrapbook page.

P13 There is No Planet B - Let's Make Lemonade

Today I am documenting an afternoon spent making lemonade using P13's There Is No Planet B collection and have chosen items from the collection which fitted that theme.

I started my layout with a sheet of pale blue Bazzill Basics cardstock and in the centre of this I layered a sheet of white cardstock which I trimmed slightly so that a narrow border of blue showed round the edges. Torn strips of washi tape (from my stash) were stuck to some of the edges and then I machine stitched all the way round the layout using white thread. Pale blue watercolour paint was painted onto the background where I planned to position my photos and patterned paper.

I cut a couple of the panels from paper #01 and positioned these onto the background to look like shelves. My four 2.5" x 3.5" photos were matted using some of the journalling cards from paper #05 and these were placed on the 'shelves' with 3D foam underneath to raise them up a little.

More torn washi tape strips were added below the shelves. 

Extra images of lemons, bottles and plants were fussy cut from paper #07 and added to the shelves.

Peach coloured foam letter stickers were used to create the title which was positioned underneath the top shelf.

Finally, I fussy cut a clothes peg from paper #07 and the words 'Home Made' from one of the decorative tags and using some natural coloured twine I created an embellishment cluster in the top left corner of the layout.

I'm really enjoying using this collection. Using soft colours rather than bright vibrant colours on a layout is a refreshing change for me and it's good to step out of your comfort zone every once in a while.
