Love This with Arden Creative Field Notes by Fiona Siegel

Hello

This weeks layout is created with the lovely Field Notes collection by Arden Creative:

Love This



These flowers on this paper were absolutely perfect for this photo of me with these giant flowers! I had to cut it and make it the top section of my layout! I then added some strips of paper in pinks and oranges to match up with my photo colours.


I've embellished my layout using the laser cuts from the collection.  Then I have hit up my 49andMarket stash - using some chipboard words and the Love This title, and the chip hearts from some of the older ranges - these are great to mix and match! Then I have used a couple of 49andMarket flowers to finish off my page. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Be Yourself with Mintay Papers - Lady's Secret by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back today with the stunning Lady's Secret collection by Mintay Papers:

Be Yourself


I do love the background papers and the colours in this collection - so very pretty! I have used one of the scene papers as my background, giving it a slight trim before roughing up the edges and then matting it on to the black paper. 

Next I have layered up some of the papers around my photo, adding some tears for extra interest and texture. 



Love the die-cuts and they are perfect for some extra scene setting - some flowers, a fan , feathers and a sweet butterfly on the right, then on the left  a makeup bag, mirror, rose and brooch. 



Next I have used the Stickers Words from the collection to create my title - Be Yourself and then add some journaling to complete my page. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Perfect Together
49 & Market Plume and Petals
Kellie Moore

Hey Scrappy Friends, welcome to the blog today.
 
It's Kel today sharing a page using the gorgeous collection from 49 & Market called
 Plume and Petals. The colours and the floral laser cuts really have my heart in this collection.

Today I'm documenting a photo from my Great Aunts wedding back in 1946.
 I love looking at the wedding dresses from decades ago.
 Here is my page.


I started with using a piece of white cardstock as my base as i really wanted the laser cuts
 and rub ons to pop off the page. I started with the large arch window laser cut in my
 background to anchor my photo. I then added some papers and diecuts under the photo
to add more layers.

To the right of my photo I used the large piano laser cut along with a frame, more diecuts
and rub ons. I really love rubs on to create a mixed media look without the mess.


I wanted to add more to the arch window, so I layered a bunch of the florals around
 it... love how that looks.


For my title I used a piece from the chipboard pieces.


To finish off I added a rub on and some of the feathers to the top of the page... and a
few gold splatters around the page.


I hope you enjoyed my page today and have found some inspiration.
See you next time
Kel

Happy Birthday with Echo Park Party Animal by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

I have another birthday layout to share this week, again using Echo park party Animal collection:

Happy Birthday


For this layout I went with a fun banner design, using the cute balloon paper as the central focus and teaming it up with the more neutral patterned pink and purple. All on white cardstock, matted with blue which I have also used to matt by photo. 

To add a little extra detail to my banner I have used some twine and glued it across with bows either side to make the banner appear to be hanging. 




Next I have some flowers in a sweet cluster to match my pinks and purples. Also some cute enamel hearts smattered about. 



Then I have used the sticker sheet from the Party Animal Collection to embellish and title my page, then added a few more flowers and hearts to balance out my layout. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Cousins
with Simple Stories Take Note
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I've been creating with the pretty Simple Stories collection Take Note:

Cousins



For this layout I teamed florals up with some black, adding some paper layers down my page and adding some pinks and blues. Then I have added this striking large camera with flowers that I have fussy cut from the 4x6 elements paper to use as a focal embellishment. I added the Little momets journaling circle to the the centre of the camera with some mounting tape and separately added the Big Smiles words from the element sheet. 



I then added some complimentary flowers to the top right corner of my photo and a tab along the top. 



I've used some old thickers from my stash for my title Cousins and then added some Cocoa Vanilla Sticker journaling to finish my layout off. 



Thanks for stopping by

Till next week
