It's the Little Things with Simple Stories It's the Little Things by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

This weeks share is with the beautiful Simple Stories Collection - The Little Things,
which is also the title for my page! 

The Little Things


For this layout I started with my design of layer up the papers with a focus on the red and greens of the range. I've used a mix of embellishments on my main cluster - from the Simple Stories sticker sheet , I've add a Pinkfresh Chipboard Flair, some Green Tara cherryblossoms and 2Crafty chipboard foliage. 


To soften up the dark colours I went with a white cardstock base and  while choosing embellishments I found these cute long floral stickers from the Sticker Book and this inspired my border. I've used the stickers on either side, some of the smaller individual flowers for the corners and some stamping stitches across the top and bottom. 




Further clusters with a shipping tag from the Tag elements paper with some red twine and some cute stickers from the book. Love the little word stickers to add some journaling to the layout and for my title. 


Thanks for visiting
See you next week

Traveling Together with 49&Market Vintage Artistry Everywhere collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Back with another 49&Market layout with the amazing Everywhere Collection.
 Still have lots of paper and embellishments even though I have created so many layouts. Great value!

Traveling Together


For this layout I have focused on the blues and pinks again, perfect match to our outfits and the view of Lake George. 

I've started with one of the base papers from the Collection pack and backed it with the darker blue from the Essentials pack before adding some torn papers around my photo. 

Next I have fussy cut some of the elements from the cover sheet of the Collection Pack and teamed them up with some chipboard and ephemera from the collection to make my clusters:


I've backed the geotag with some patterned paper - matching up the postage stamp print from the collection pack. Next I have used some rub-ons to add some extra detail to the background paper. The gorgeous bubbles and baubles add the perfect finishing touch.


and finishing off with a large rub-on for my title - perfect and so easy to apply!

It's a Sister Thing with Uniquely Creative Sweet Magnolia Collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

New layout this week with the new Uniquely Creative Sweet Magnolia collection:
It's a Sister Thing

Love the colours in this collection, they are just stunning!! I've used some pics of my sister and I from a recent wedding we attended, lots of fun and a few pics so I combined these and printed them all in one square. 

I've chosen a very pretty background paper and teamed this up with matching floral paper and a light blue paper before adding a doily and lots of flowers from the Creative Cuts pack, as well as some small word phrases.


A cute clock from the Creative Cuts pack and a piece of film strip from 49&Market:


And the perfect title can always be found with 2Crafty Chipboard - It's a Sister Thing. I've inked this and added some shimmer with the Uniquely Creative shimmer pen.

See you next week

Unplugged with 49&Market Vintage Artistry Everywhere collection

Hello everyone

Another share with 49&Market Vintage Artistry Everywhere for you today:

Unplugged



For this page I have used the Foundations paper as my base and teamed it up
 with some rubons from an older 49&Market collection before layering up papers
 from the Everywhere collection pack. 


Above you can see the little floral rub-on before my cluster made with a mix of Everywhere chipboard and wishing Bubbles & Baubles as well as butterflies from the 49& Market Gardenia collection and some 49&Market flowers. I've used the same mix for the cluster below:


I made a cute little cluster to balance the layout on the bottom right mixing some Everywhere collection with the Gardenia butterflies 


and finishing my layout with an ephemera title from an older 49&Market collection - Take a Hike ephemera.

Happy Days with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happy Days by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Final share with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happy Days this week.
A quick and easy page as I have been busy finalising kits for retreat!

Happy Days


Loving this background paper for quick layouts! I was able to just use up my leftover papers for this page and layer them under the photo before hitting up the ephemera packs to embellish my page.


Flower clusters from the Floral Ephemera pack


And then a mix of stickers and die-cut ephemera to finish my page:


My title is from the die-cut ephemera range, just perfect!
I finished off with assorted butterflies from the die-cut ephemera pack.
