Swirlydoos July Reveal "Sprocket" with Jan

Hello, scrappy peeps!

Now to share my projects created with the July kit of the month. I loved the Scrapberry papers. Didn't you? So, first I'll share the layout created with Kim's awesome sketch.

I left the chipboard naked and added some cardboard (from the box my kit came in) underneath the photo. The "happy" is an acetate piece from Heidi Swapp. The word strips are Tim Holtz. I added some Prima Art Stones and Mini Art Stones to fill in some around the flowers. Then, painted them with Prima watercolors.

I liked how the cardboard looked so I used it on this layout, too.

I cut the 49 and Market flower spray apart to use it around the picture. There are lots of distressed layers on this one.

Here's a tribute page to my grandfather. This is more of a grungy, masculine layout.

Ok, here's the Anatomy of a Layout that is posted in the Swirlydoos forum. 

You can find the SnapGuide here.

I decided to make the page interactive. So, it has a hidden flap that opens to reveal more photos and journalling.

Stay tuned for my video tutorial on this OTP project.

Here's the view from the back.

**Tutorial Saturday** with Jan

Hello, Swirly Savages!

Today I'm sharing a video tutorial using the scraps of your July kit to create a "waterfall" feature on a card. I used scraps of paper from the July kit as well as ephemera included in the embellishment add on, and flowers from the flower add on. Some paper and ephemera from the Salvage District paper pack was also used. The Salvage District paper pack was a part of the goodies we received at Swirly camp this year.

Here's the video.

Here are some pictures of the finished card.

Have you played with the Rust Effects Paste by Prima yet?

I went crazy with the rust on just about every project this month and still haven't made a dent in the jars. You can check out the SnapGuide tutorial here.

Here's a few projects featuring the rust paste.
