Mummy's Boy using Simple Stories Spring Farmhouse By Kerryn Fry

Good morning everyone! Today I have created another page using the pretty collection Simple Stories Spring Farmhouse The photo has come from the archives, right back to 2005. The day was our very first pageant and as you see, our boy was a little overwhelmed by it all.

The base is Kraft Cardstock, I've left that background plain for this page. The soft pastel colours in the collection have been left to tell the story. The patterned papers have been layered in the bottom half of the page and I've die cut two doilies from patterned paper and black cardstock. These have been layered together and then tucked under the top left hand corner of the photo. I've used more black cardstock as a strip across the page.

I have hand cut all of the embellishments from the patterned papers. Simple Stories collection are perfect for this. The flowers were the main elements used on the page, these have been added with foam tape for an extra layer. The 2x2 and 3x4 Element sheets were used for the other elements, including the words.

The bird cluster has been created with small pieces from different 2x2 elements.

I've used foam tape to give them some dimension.

The tag and heart have been cut out from the 3x4 Element paper

and I have then added the words from a 2x2 element piece.

The words have been given dimension with more foam tape.

The journal spot has been cut from the 2x2 element sheet,

I kept it flat and then decorated with more hand cut flowers.

The 2 Crafty title has been covered with Distress Archival Black Ink. I've added foam tape to lift the title off the page and used a hand cut embellishment to highlight the 'o'.
