Step by Step – “1, 2, 3, Four” by Michelle Jamieson
Posted by Anna under Michelle JamiesonNo Comments
Michelle has created this cute layout using the new Scenic Route Garden Grove papers.

Supplies
- Scenic Route Papers – Garden Grove – Lemonwood Lane, Emerson Ave and Flower St
- American Crafts Thickers – Gift Box black
- White Bazzill
- Flowers – Green and Black
- Collections chipboard – scallop bracket
- White paint
- Black journaling pen
- Sewing machine (optional)
- Paper distresser (optional)
Instructions
- Take your white bazzill cardstock for your base. Cut a piece of Emerson Ave (blue side) to approx 18.5 x 23 cm. Cut a piece of Lemonwood Lane (solid green side) to approx 4 x 23cm. Distress the edges with your paper distresser and arrange them as the picture shows.
- Next cut a piece of the Flower Street (black side) to approx 5 x 30cm. Stick it down approx 5cm from the right side of your cardstock. Then, cut a piece of Lemonwood Lane (circles side) to approx 7.5 x 4cm and stick it down so it touches with the black piece and overlaps onto the blue piece. Again, distress the edges.
- Paint your chipboard bracket white and set aside to dry.
- Add your photo next. It sits flush with the edge of your black piece and the bottom on your blue piece. Next, fold your flowers in half, then half again. Stick them together with some tape, so they hold in place. Draw two stems from the Lemonwood Lane paper, from the solid green side. Michelle has drawn a black line around the side of the stem to make them look more finished. Stick them down and your flowers on the top, on the left side of your cardstock. Lastly, sew a border around the outside with black cotton. This just frames the layout. Tip: When sewing, be sure not to adhere tape behind where you will be sewing. It stops the machine needle getting all sticky and it will reduce problems when you are sewing.
- Lastly, add your title. Michelle cut 2 circles from either side of the Lemonwood Lane paper and distressed them before placing them on top of each other and adding her title. She also drew a border to give it an edge. This just makes the main title stand out a little more. Now it’s time to add your bracket to the bottom of your photo, and again Michelle has outlined the border around the edge with a black pen.
- Add your journaling and you are done….all finished. Sit back and admire your layout!

Hi Girls, some of you may have noticed a few glitches on the system today. It has all been sorted out, however customers that visited the website in the last 24 hours may still see a down for maintenace sign. If you clear your temporary internet files and cookies and restart your computer the website “should” come up for you without any problems. For some reason my site got caught up in the scheduled move that was supposed to happen today – even though it had already happened last Monday – work that one out if you can! I can tell you my stress levels were on the rise…..
Now onto Basic Grey. In typical Australia Post fashion only 2 of my 3 boxes arrived today – so I have bits and pieces of both ranges here. The remaining box is likely to turn up on Monday, so I think I will leave it until Monday to release these new lines, as I’d prefer to physically have the stock, all ready to ship out on Monday. I do however have all the new Bling and Opalines, so I will turn those on for sale.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend – Perth is in for a wet and wild one!

Hi Girls
Monday presented a hiccup – my website hosts decided that because I was moving to a new website hosting plan as part of the server upgrade that instead of moving me on Friday they decided to do the move today. Hence the website was offline for several hours today
The good news is that TNT delivered the Kaiser stock and I have been able to get onto the website tonight to start loading images. I’m still missing two images but hope to have that rectified tomorrow. The new server location appears to be working well, so I plan to TURN ON the Kaiser stock for sale first thing tomorrow. Yipee!
Please note that if your browser is having trouble displaying the website with pricing it would be wise to clear out your temporary internet files and cookies and shut down your computer and restart. Then get a new browser page and type www.annascraftcupboard.com.au into it. This should (fingers crossed) bring up the site on the new server complete with pricing and a fully functioning shopping cart. This worked for me tonight. Apparently it can take up to 24 hours for web browsers to redirect to the new server, but this little trick seems to help!
Hopefully Tuesday will be a little smoother than Monday!
