Live in the Moment with 49andMarket Botanical Buzz by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back with another 49andMarket Botanical Blooms share. Love, love this collection!

Live in the Moment



For this layout I wanted flowers to match the photo and to bring in the yellow. I have used one of the more neutral backgrounds and then added some paper matting around my photo, then used the fencing piece to create interest and add my embellishments around.



I've used more of the adorable honeycomb pieces to add layers and then added flowers and cute embellishments like the watering can  from the laser cut elements and diecut elements. 


A super cute flower box to match the one on the paper (left hand side) and a base to layer my title Live in the Moment from the chipboard set. I finished off with some journaling from CVS Bloom and Grow collection stickers


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Born to Ride with Echo Park Summer Break by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Super cute boy page today using Echo Park Summer Break

Born to Ride



For this layout I chose the bike and summer themed paper as my main paper and added some coordinating colours. I decided to matt the white cardstock in pale blue to match the top and then added some sploshes of ink to the background. 


I've used the  Echo park Summer Break sticker sheet embellish my layout along with some enamel stars and a pinkfresh sticker from my stash.

The cute 2Crafty Chain is a fun element to run across the page with the arrows from the sticker sheet and then the perfect element a little bike sticker. 



Finishing off with my title using a mix of thickers and some extra enamel stars!

Funny Snapshots
Bella Blvd Documented
Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone!

It's Kel here today sharing a layout using the new collection from Bella Blvd called 'Documented'.

When I first saw this collection I was very drawn to the bright colours and it's generic 
theme.  I think this range would be great to document so many different subjects.

My page today is using 6 funny photos of my dogs when I put my glasses on them ...
they make me giggle. 

Have a look...


I chose the paper called 'Clips' as my background. I liked the black scalloped border
 around the edge.  As I had 6 photos I decided to go with a grid style design, laying my
photos horizontally across the page in two rows with my title running through the middle.


As a base for my photos I used a bunch of different papers, distressing the edges to
 give texture.  
 For my two middle photos I used 2 frames (one chipboard, one die cut) to add focus.


I next added a bunch of the die cuts, stickers and chipboard to embellish my photos.

For my title I used the alphabet stickers and the word 'Snapshot' is from the Ephemera Words pack. 

To finish my page I added a cluster to the top left and bottom right of my page. 
 I especially love the puffy camera in this collection.



I hope you like my page and that you check out this collection in the shop.

Stay Creative!
Kel

I have added some neutral papers around my two photos before using the adorable laser cut honeycombs to decorate my layout, I have added some of the inserts, mounted with some foam tape as well as some additional bees. Across the top of my photo I have tucked some ephemera tickets and tags. 



I've added some laser cut flowers to the side of my page and finished off with another title from the chipboard titles collection.

Picture Perfect with 49and Market Botanical Buzz by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I have the new 49andMarket Botanicals to scrap with. Great range for outdoors photos, and perfect for a recent quick visit to New Zealand:


Picture Perfect


The background papers in 49andMarket really do a LOT of the work for you! Makes it easy to get some layouts done, especially if you have a lot to do! For this page I took the inspiration from the background paper and used the matching hessian style paper and some yellow hexagon print. I then teamed that up with some doilies that matched the background. 

The various hexagons in this collection are just too cute and I have used then on both corners of my photo with some flowers - a mix of the Die Cut Elements and the Laser Cut elements. Next a tag with some twine from my stash in a matching yellow and a ticket stub. 


I added some extra flowers from the laser cut elements to the left hand side and fussy cut the remember this from the advertising strip along one of the papers. I finished my layout off with a matching title "Picture Perfect" from the chipboard set. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Jolly Good Fun
49 & Market Mistletoe and Memories
Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone! 

It's Kel on the blog today with a page using the new collection from  
49 & Market called Mistletoe and Memories.

This collection is designed by Vicki Boutin and I have always been a huge fan of her designs.
Today I'm documenting 3 photos of my twins when they were about 5 years old,
 being absolute hams in front of the camera.
 Here is my page.


For my background I have used two pieces of patterned paper from the 12 x 12 paper pad.
 I love the striped paper which I have torn into strips, placing them to the top and bottom of my page.

I have stacked my 3 photos vertically down the right side of my page adding lots of
 ephemera pieces, laser cuts and stickers to enhance my photos.



How cute is the Santa?  The Die Cuts pack comes with so many pieces, great variety in
design and sizes.


I have added some of the rubs on to the top left and bottom right of the photos also.


My title is made with the puffy title stickers, then for the word 'fun' I have hand cut the
 letters using some different papers.


My finishing touches were cutting up some of the stars from the star paper in the paper 
pad  and adding a few more rub-ons.

I hope you have been inspired today and you check out this collection in the shop.

See you next time
Kel

Captured Moments with
49andMarket Beach Vibes
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week back with 49 and Market Beach Vibes for another layout from my daughters vacay:

Captured Moments



I really wanted to use this floral paper as the main featured paper for this layout, I added an orange border and then the the thatched roof paper across to break it up a little cause the floral is pretty busy! I then chose my background paper - the plainer beach scene for the perfect background colours. 




Love the thatched roof drinks bar in the Laser-cut Elements pack, makes a standout embellishment and then I teamed it up with some flower clusters from the same pack, matching the paper. I've used the advertising strip to create my journaling. 



Finishing off with my title from Vicki Boutin Where to Next Thickers.

Discover Places with Simple Stories Happy Travels by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone


Back with more Japan travel pages, this time scrapping a unique Japanese experience:

Discover Places



For this layout I wanted to focus on the pinks and then added the dark blue for contrast, love the combo together mixed with some stripes and florals. I've gone for a linear design with my papers then teamed it up with some shipping tags, two tucked to the left and one as a quote. 



Always love a little twine around my tags, in this instance, just the main one to draw focus to it. I've embellished with some of the foam sticker hearts from the collection and then added some cute paper pink flowers from my stash.



I finished my page off with my title Discover Places, using the foam stickers from the collection. 




Thanks for stopping by 
till next week

The Main Attraction
Simple Stories Fun Times
Kellie Moore

Welcome back to the blog everyone!

Kel here today sharing another page with the Simple Stories 'Fun Times' collection.

Today I am documenting two photos of my youngest son and I from quite a few years ago
on the Merry Go Round.... it makes me a little melancholy how fast time is going with
 him heading to high school next year!

 Here is my page...

I have used white cardstock for my background then used the star paper called
 'Admit One' and created a header and footer for my page, distressing the edges also.

I wanted to add some colour to the back of my page so I used some ink and a blending
brush to add some blue ink.

I have placed two patterned papers down then added my photos on top. 

I have created three embellishment clusters around my page using die cuts, chipboard,
 stickers and decorative brads.




For my title I used two of the foam stickers, then popped some of the word stickers underneath.


I hope you were inspired today and you get some scrapbooking time into your week...

See you next time !
Kel.

Exploring with Simple Stories Happy Travels by Fiona Siegel

Hello

Back with some of my travel snaps, this time Osaka Castle using Simple Stories Happy Travels collection:

Exploring 


For this page I wanted to focus on the greens in the water and the castle roof and this range teamed that up perfectly with fresh orange and some light teal. 

The map base made the perfect neutral background, to which I added strips of paper top and bottom to give extra colour pop. 

Next I layered some papers and added an extra photo with a shipping tag before embellishing with the ephemera and foam stickers. I have added some bright orange flowers to match and some older stickers and a go see do enamel brad from my stash.
