Collaging Is For The Birds Challenge - 2 Page Vintage Scrapbook Layout using

In this weeks bird collage I'll be using 2 books from ‪@MaremiSmallArt‬ It will be a double scrapbook layout tutorial. I'll be showing you how you can use large images on a single page, which will tie in with a vintage photo on the opposite page. I'll add 2 birds to the layout and incorporate one in the collage page. Thanks for watching and happy scrapping!

Such a beautiful spread. Lots of love poured into this collage. You sure resemble your lovely mother. So good to have you happily creating away at your craft table my friend. And thank you Lord for Barbies good health ❤❤❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, gf 💞 I agree, I can now see a lot of me in my mom, I never could before. My mother was a real beauty, but she never saw it or thought it. Being picked on as a child, for being so poor, one starts to believe harsh words. Unfortunately, those harsh words were carried with her until her death. 💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕 Thank you for all your prayers and uplifing convo's ....... I'm over the moon, (still) and nothing can bring me down. Luv ya, 💞🌟

I am so pleased you got the all clear from all your tests. I know how nerve wracking these things can be and how upset they make you. It’s so uplifting to get negative results that you feel on top of the world. I love the scrapbook collage. Really beautiful for your lovely mum. Have a brilliant weekend and celebrate with your family. Enjoy these result. Thank God. Love from England xxx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Dorothy 🙏🏻🌸🌸 I couldn't be happier and so relieved. TFW and leaving a wonderful commnet. God is great, and so aren't my crafting sisters. Hugs and blessings, my dear. 🧡💖🧡🌸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

Barbie i totally love this scrapbook layout. It is brilliant to show how you can collage in a larger format incorporating photos too. Love your art style. I am so glad to hear that all is well with you and your health. Prayers absolutely work! I know you are thrilled Nancy is coming home. You both are blessed to have each other. Blessings and TFSGF

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

xoxo, Pam and thank you so much. A long video (ddn't intend it to be) but I think some of the points are important when collaging in a larger format. I'm so happy you were able to carve out the time to sit with me. Have a great week and happy travels. Summer has arrived !! 💞🌻☀️💞☀️🌻

[@LisaCorneliusJourneys]

Barbie, thank the Lord your tests are over and positive with good news! The stress you must have been under! You have such a good eye for balance. This page is the perfect blend of lights and darks, right angles and curves, colors and contrast.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, gf ....... 🩷💜🩷 stress? Yeah, not good with stress at all. TFW and all your positive comments on my work. Sorry this one was so long, but I find when I'm in the zone creating something I really enjoy, I get lost in time. Thanks for hanging on and hanging around. Hugs and blessings. Have a wonderful weekend. 🌸☀️🌸 🙏🏻🩷🙏🏻

[@SueKivley]

Beautiful! Congratulations on a positive outcome!! Have a great weekend.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Sue. I appreciate your comment and watching my extra long video 🙈🙈 You have a wonderful weekend as well and sending hugs and blessings your way. 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻

[@sherrybarfield8446]

So happy your tests came back with everything all clear. Lovely collage!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Sherry. Me toooooo 💕🙏🏻 TFW and I'm happy you enjoyed the collage. A bit different this week, but I still got a couple of very pretty birds in.

[@pennyrader3954]

So pretty, Barbie! I love the upper left corner with the bird. It looks like the bird pulled a bit of the dark paper away, revealing the pretty white paper. Like a painting under a painting. And the red flowers are beautiful as is the framing of your mom's picture. I'm so thrilled you received good health news and had that scary weight lifted. I'll keep sending prayers for continued good health and positive thoughts your way.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you very much, Penny. I'm so happy you were able to carve out time and sit with me, this was a bit longer than I had planned. I always love your comments, because I love how you have a wonderful story about my art; keep them coming. You have an entirely different way of looking at things and I really like it. Have a great weekend and I'll take those prayers. Back to Cleveland at some point to see my heart doc b/c my pulmonary test didn't come back with good results. Golly gosh, I'm not worrying about it though ............. it's getting to be the norm. LOL

[@amyspaid9031]

These pages are beautiful! I’m so happy about your good news! Cheers, friend! 🍹🍸🍺

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Amy. Now .......... maybe I can get to reading my book. Haven't been able to concentrate for some time now. I've missed my reading. However, you really put many smiles on my face with your IG stories .... keep up the good work. Hugs. 🌸🙏🏻🌸☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

[@mrsA805]

Beautiful collage as always 😍 You’re making me want to go back to scrapbooking! ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Christine..............I dare ya. I find scrapping so relaxing, no pressure and a great way to stay in the most positive mood every. Hugs, gf, and have a great weekend. 🌸🧡🌸

[@lanakristoff5188]

So happy to hear you received such good health news😁 you sound so upbeat it's wonderful. Good news about Nancy too. 👍 Lovely collague with your mother's picture. I enjoy the scrapbook pages. Bigger scales are always more challenging. Well done.❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you very much, Lana. I've found a few hic cups in the road and do have to head back to Cleveland after my pulmonary test ..... golly gosh, just can't catch a break. As far as Nancy, well ..... she didn't come home on the 5th. Planters fasciitis set in and she has to stay until that is gone and she can walk on her foot. See ..... it's always something. I'm pretending everything is okay though 🤣🤣🤣 I'm heading into la la land instead of the nut house !!! Have a wonderful week and I'll see ya soon. xo 💚 I'm so happy you enjoyed these scrapbook spreads. HUGS

[@MaremiSmallArt]

This was such a relaxing crafting... love your pretty layout, so special ! I love how you played with dark background and photo incorporated. I am inspired ! Glad your results are good ! 😍😍😍

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Oh, thank you so much for stopping by and seeing your beautiful images! I'm so happy I was able to inspire you, but ....... you need no inspiration; you creations are gorgeous! TFW and have the best week ever! xo 💞💞

[@sandyjuliano-cy9rf]

So happy to hear the good news. Lovely collages and you seem so relaxed!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Sandy! I am very relaxed now and so happy I can focus on the art and not all that is swirling around in my noggin !! xo TFW and have a wonderful week.

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

Barbie, I am so happy for you. I am so sorry that you had to go through all of this. I’m also happy that Nancy is getting to come home. I’ve been praying for her as well. Prayers are a wonderful thing! I love your pages. They are beautiful!😊❤️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Susan. I'm so happy Nancy is coming home too. She's very scared to be on her own but she has a good network here. Thank you for your wonderful comment, sitting with me today and hanging in there with me. Have a wonderful weekend. 🌸🌟🌸

[@J0yb3ells]

Lovely work, Barbie. These pages are great. So glad your health news is good. It is a struggle getting older, but it beats the alternative! 😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

That's what my hubby says all the time ........ it beats the alternative. Thank you Joy for sitting with me today, we were able to have a nice long time together. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs and blessings 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸

[@linmims3049]

Beautiful pages and Praise be to God for the good report on your health! Hopefully I'll get mine sorted and get some normalcy back in my life soon too. Have a blessed and joyful weekend Barbie. xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Lin, I'm praying for you and I too hope you get back positive news from all your tests. God certainly puts us under many tests and like my mother always said "God won't give you more than you can handle" 💞🙏🏻💞 some days I wonder. Have a beautiful weekend and stay positive ..... that's easy for me to say. Keep you mind busy in a postive way, is much better. Hugs and blessings 🌸🧡🌸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ChelleBeeby]

💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 lovely page, and lovely story, thanks for trusting us enough to share. Keep well.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, gf 🌸🌟🌸 TFW and yes, I didn't mind sharing this. I think it's so important to get a second opinion and be an advocate of ones own health. If one center gives you a report, or a procedure they want to perform, your not comfortable with ........... go somewhere else where your mind is in a better place. Dang, hubs and I went to Belgium so I could finally get pregnant, so I think an 8 1/2 hour drive to Cleveland is worth a second opinion. I think one has to be somewhat adventurous, though. A side note, our local hospital told a very dear friend of ours he would eventually have to have heart surgery, but it could wait for another year ........ Scott didn't feel comfortable with what he was told. He asked my hubs about Cleveland and he was given the name of my hubs heart doc. Hubs heart doc told him to come out asap, within 10 days, the operation was performed and the surgeon told Scott's wife, "if he hadn't had this surgery he would have had a massive heart attack with a month and would have been dead" ............ scary 😢

[@ChelleBeeby]

@@NellieandRuthDesigns wow yes, your friend is very lucky he didn't feel comfortable with what they said. I'm glad he was able to get in contact with someone who knew better. Have the dr's I go to don't even bother these days, it's like a quick look and that will be $120 thanks.. it's insane! I hope your keyboard warrior watched this and feels badly for what they put you through.. I always try to treat people nicely because you just never ever know.. you know? (oh no I'm on the know thing again.. sorry)... but yeah. I know you didn't put this up for that reason but a part of me really does hope they saw it and think twice next time... anyway 💜💜💜

[@lvan4407]

What Great books filled with interesting pictures it’s very hard to choose which ones to pick but Love the ones you ended up with Your pictures turned out great❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much. 🌸 I agree, it's hard to choose, they are all so wonderful. Have a fun filled weekend and see you soon. Hugs xo 💖💖

[@MerryScraps]

This is a beautiful layout qith your lovely Mom! I am so happy to hear you got good results and sorry you have been going through all of this, so much to take at one time.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Jeana for your wonderful compliment and your caring words. I agree, it's been overwhelming what has been happening. I hope the second have of the year goes smoothly. Hugs and blessings. 🌸🙏🏻🌸

[@joymeadows3646]

Hi, Barbie! LOVE this two page layout! Your mother is beautiful as is the collage you made with her photo. Cutting out around the mushrooms was a smart move; makes it look so much better. Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo P.S. I DM'd you on Instagram. . .

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Joy. I love working with my moms pics. I'm so happy to get these pages done (for my boys) ..... I think if I can get my act together, I can get two books done and give them to them for either Christmas or their birthdays. I agree with the mushrooms ..... sometimes it just take a bit for the brain to process a better way or layout. Blessings for you today and much love. 💖💖💖💖🙏🏻🌟🙏🏻
