Todays moments using Bella Blvd School is Cool by Kerryn Fry

Hello crafters!Happy New Year from me!
My first page for the year has been createdwith the collection, Bella Blvd School is Cool.The papers were picked for their colours, not the theme, they match the photo perfectly.
The photo of Mr H, at nearly 5 years oldand his cousin Nicole hanging in the then sandpit, now our veggie garden. 

The base of the page is my absolute 

favourite, Bazzill Kraft Cardstock.

The background effect has been created

with the Simple Stories Arrow Stencil

and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Ink.

It pops the small amount of orange

in the photo and patterned papers.

Across the top of the page I have added 

a strip of Simple Stories Say Cheese at the Park

Meet Me on Main, a thin strip of Daily Details

and a scalloped sticker from the Cardstock sheet. 

The sun and clouds have been hand cut from

the Daily Details paper and the sticker is

from Cocoa Vanilla Sunkissed Accessory Stickers

I've used foam tape to lift each piece.

The 2 Crafty Stars Pack was used to embellish 

the page and to create a journal spot.

The chipboard stars have been covered with

patterned paper and the extra stars are patterned paper.

The black chipboard dots on the page are 

the dot centres from the 2 Crafty Photo Corners.

They have been covered with black ink

and lifted with foam tape.

The 2 Crafty Mini Camera has been covered

with Spiced Marmalade Distress Paint.

After drying, I have then covered it with 

Spiced Marmalade Oxide Ink and hit it with a heat gun.

The final layer is Dimensional Magic

which had a great reaction with the Oxide.

Love the marbled finish.

The photo has been matted with Bazzill Raven Cardstock,

with patterned papers layers added underneath.

I have raised the photo and first two paper

layers with foam tape to create extra layers. 

I've used a black pen to add borders to some 

of the paper pieces and stars.

To the left of the photo I have added 

two more stars and words from both 

the DooHickey Cardstock Stickers

and Cocoa Vanilla Accessory Stickers.

The title for the page has been created

from the 2 Crafty Phrase Stick Set 5.

Using 'todays moments, tomorrows memories'.

The chipboard has been swiped with black ink,

layering the colour without colouring the words.

I have cut the phrase into two pieces and

then added them to the page with foam tape.

The finishing touches are the small hearts

from the DooHickey Sticker sheet. 

Thanks for visiting the blog today.I hope you have been inspired to spend some time crafting over the weekend.Please join us again on Monday for Fiona's next project.
