Tutorial Tuesday - Anna Allan; She Dreams...


 Hiya everybody!
I'm back today with a 12x12" layout share, and I'm picking out a few elements of my page to explain further in how I went about creating it.

I am using the May Cupcake Kit and focused alot on the papers in this layout.


I chose a variety of papers from the range by Chickaniddy that was in the kit. Some I cut into circles of various sizes and others I cut into feathers to 'hang' from the doily.
I have used 2 photos and also a quote pic that I created using one of my fave apps on my iPhone - Rhonna Designs.


Here's how I did it...

1. Opened the app.
2. Selected the camera film icon which takes you to a menu with options to choose images from your camera roll, gallery albums etc OR choose a ready made background...which is what I did.
I chose the gold glitter background and clicked crop in the corner.

3. Select starburst icon in top left corner. A menu pops inwards and you select a design element you would like to add. I chose the triangle cut circle from 'Insta Rounds'. Enlarged it to size of square box, selected a colour (which I mixed by opting for 'more' colours) and pressed done.

4. Pressed the T button in top left hand corner and selected font.
5. Typed in the quote and then sized it to fill coloured circle. Chose a darker colour for the text so it stood out over the background colours. Pressed done.
6. Pressed the button in the top right corner and a menu pops inwards - choose SHARE and save to camera roll.

7. I printed it off 4x4" and cut the circle out which I have used here in the layout!


___________________________________________

 Continuing on with the page, I have also used two smaller circles, 'hello' punched from a cut-apart and the black and white stripe patterned paper, and attached them together with a split pin from the kit.


The 'hello' circle slides upwards to reveal the journalling underneath.


I have completed the layout by adding some extra touches from the kit contents - flair, sequins, stickers - and I also added a couple of extra APOCD flair from my stash.

And I called it DONE!
