This week is FabScraps week at Helmar and our Helmar Design Team has created some amazing projects. This is my project using papers, charms, and ribbon trim from FabScraps… all put together with Helmar adhesives, of course! This is of my lovely daughter who is a big Twilight fan. She vamped it up for Halloween this year and every time I see this picture, I realize she is not a little girl anymore.
I loved the colors and variation on this one piece of paper, but I knew I’d probably not use this particular image. The colors worked great for the picture of my dear daughter and the makeup she was wearing that day.
I centered the photo as desired and trimmed it down. Love the flourish that sticks out the side! I cut one large circle off the FabScraps ribbon trim to suit my desired layout. I distressed the edges of many of the papers with Walnut Distress Inks. All layered papers were adhered with Helmar Quick-Fix Adhesive Runner.
The lace paper border was diecut with Tim Holtz Tattered Lace die out of FabScraps paper and glued with Helmar Acid Free Glue. I needed a liquid adhesive that would not warp my delicate paper lace and Helmar Acid Free Glue was the perfect choice. Pink Paislee chipboard flourishes are hidden behind the FabScraps ribbon trim and clustered with Prima flowers along with more FabScraps metal embellishments. All of these were glued down with Helmar 450 Quick Dry.
This little ticket is from FabScraps Journal pages and the scalloped ribbon is actually a rub-on runner by FabScraps as well.
FabScraps and Helmar made a great team and helped me make a beautiful layout. Make sure to check out all the great projects using FabScraps and Helmar this week.
Love those colors. The ticket is a great addition and I agree with Jackie. LO and daughter are beautiful.
Gorgeous! The LO AND the daughter 😉
