My first task was to create two 12" x 12" layouts using the KaiserCraft Fine and Sunny paper collection. I was given five design papers from the collection, one blue and one yellow 12x12 cardstock, a pack of ribbons and a pack of die cuts - all from the Fine and Sunny Collection. The following layouts are what I came up with.
Layout 1 - Fun in the Sun
- Background paper "Cloudy"
- Various die cut shapes from the "Fine and Sunny" Collection
- Yellow strip along side behind blue water pics was the reverse side of the Avenue paper cut to 1 x 12" strip, then punched the edge using Fiskars border punch Scallop Sentiment
- Foundations blue cardstock for photo mats cut at 6 3/4" x 4 3/4"
- Foundations yellow cardstock for photo mats cut at 6 1/4" x 4 1/4"
- Rainbow paper for photo mat cut at 6 1/2" x 4 1/2"
- Reverse side of Avenue paper (yellow) cut at 6 1/2" x 4 1/2"
- The blue water strip along left side of page were two photos taken of the water in the pool, these were cut using Fiskars border punch Scallop Sentiment, then cut down to 2/3/4"
- Adhesives used - Acid Free ATG double sided tape, Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive, PaperCraft double sided adhesive foam dots
- Strip of flowers at bottom of layout was the reversed bottom of paper details on the "Cloudy" paper
The photo was adhered to yellow cardstock, then to patterned paper, then to scallop punched blue cardstock.
Yellow strip was adhered first, then blue water photos.
Flower strip was adhered to the bottom of the layout.
Alpha stickers were adhered to die cut shapes and adhered to layout.
Birdhouse and rainbow with clouds were both adhered flat using Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.
All other die cuts were adhered using PaperCraft double sided adhesive foam dots.
Layout 2 - “Through the Eyes of a Child"
- Background paper "Chirp"
- Various die cut shapes from the Fine and Sunny Collection
- Foundations blue and yellow cardstock for photo mat (blue cut at 5 x 7", yellow cut at 4 1/2 x 3" and 4 1/2 x 2 3/4")
- Reverse side of Raindrops paper strip cut at 12 x 4 1/8"
- Sun strip below orange paper was reverse bottom of the detail strip on the Raindrops paper
- Flower ribbon cut at 14" strip placed below sun strip and wrapped around background paper
- Flower strip at bottom of page was from the Alpha Sticker sheet
The orange paper was adhered first, then the sun strip, then flower ribbon.
The photo was matted, then adhered over top of strips, then the flower stickers were adhered to the bottom of the page.
Journalling die cut was then adhered flat using ATG tape, then die cut flowers adhered using PaperCraft double sided adhesive foam dots.
Tree was adhered flat using Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.
Houses and bird were adhered using PaperCraft double sided adhesive foam dots.
Alpha stickers were then adhered.
Finally, corner die cuts were placed at left and right top of photo.

Hi Michelle :)
DeleteYeah, been way too long since we caught up :(
Lots happening ATM. Anyway this was a very difficult task given the minimal supplies able to be used, along with the fact that I've not done a layout in quite some time LOL.
Can't wait for an off-the-page project!
