Caution Cute Kids at Play with Echo Park My Little Girl by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
I've got a cute page to share today using the cute Echo Park collection My Little Girl and 2Crafty Chipboard
Caution Cute Kids at Play

The floral raincoat inspired my colour choices for this page and I found a cute floral paper and teamed it up with some purple, pink and green papers, then matting it on to the orange paper to pop with the orange in the raincoat. 
To add a bit more colour to my page I have used some stamps to add some pink and purple flowers to my background - extending my floral theme. Next I used a 2Crafty rainbow and cloud with some markers to add in all the matching colours. 

I added some cute paper flowers:

and finished with this perfect title by 2Crafty - Caution Cute Kids at Play - inked in purple.

Best Birthday Ever with Uniquely Creative Flowering Utopia by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I'm creating with the very pink and floral Flowering Utopia by Uniquely Creative! Gorgeous range, perfect for scrapping my eldests recent 18th birthday:
Best Birthday Ever

For this layout I have chosen a base paper with gorgeous florals around the border edge so with that in mind as the focus I have just added some light stamping using a butterfly stamp and tiny dot stamp in Orchid ink which is slightly darker than the paper to add some extra interest. I have then added some paper layers to my photo.

Next I have added embellishments from the creative cuts pack around my photo - a flamingo because they are a favourite of my daughters. The pack also contains some phrases making a perfect title and subtitle to finish off my page.

Barbie Movie with Photoplay Fashion Dreams by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back again this week with my 2nd page using the cute Fashion Dreams collection
 by Photo Play! 
Barbie Movie

This paper was perfect for documenting the girls and I wearing pink to see the Barbie Movie last year - just a quick selfie photo but a nice memory all the same! 
For the layout I teamed up my pink papers around my photo and added some pops of blue then created my background to co-ordinate using Vicki Boutin Cosmic Watercolour Set on Vicki Boutin Foundations paper and a VB stencil. 
First I used the plastic bag technique to add my water colour - drying off the excess with paper towel and then letting it dry off naturally. Next I came in the my heart stencil using the same watercolours but less diluted. Once that was dry I've added a little of the gold onto an old  text stamp to add some texture.  

Next I have added lots of embellishments from the ephemera pack and added some shipping tags with some twine:

Then I have dug into the stash for some pink and blue thickers to make my title and added some journaling strips from my printer onto cardstock.

Fav Photo with Vicki Boutin Printshop by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Continuing this month with some more Print Shop layouts, such a diverse range!

I've used a Vicki Boutin stencil as a stamp for this background using Distress Oxide in Saltwater Taffy. I've stamped the ink on to the stencil, sprayed a little water then stamped the pattern onto my kraft cardstockl

 Next I have fussy cut multiple hearts from the Cross My Heart patterned paper and I have added some hand stitching to each heart. 

I've added some paper layers to my photo and adhered the hearts to either side of my photo. Next I have used the embellishments from the ephemera and sticker sheets to add extra details to my page.

Torn paper strips top and bottom of my page and the advertising strip off one of the papers used before adding my title - Vicki Boutin stickers from an earlier collection.

Limited Edition with Celebr8 #YOLO by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I've got a layout created with the super cool YOLO papers from Celebr8:
Limited Edition

The very first thing I loved about this collection is the cool people on the patterned paper, and immediately decided to fussy cut them all out. I loved the grungy background paper and decided to use this mounted on to some black cardstock to make it pop. 
To get my people to stand out I have used some black paint and swiped it across the page, using the people as my measurement. 

I've matted my photo with the black cardstock before adding some of the lighter patterned papers. Then I have fussy cut all the cute phrases and circles and made a cluster to the top left of my photo. 

I've added some more fussy cut shapes to the bottom right of the photo, including the Limited Edition circle for my title. I've added some texture stamping over my papers to add to the grungy feel. 
I've added some 2Crafty Chipboard stars that I have inked with black ink. 

Some fussy cut quotes from the advertising strip complete my layout.

SX360 with Vicki Boutin Sweet Rush by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Taking a break from the CVS layouts to share this one using Vicki Boutin Sweet Rush collection:
SX360

This bright, fun collection is absolutely perfect for my theme park photos! I've used the Make your Mark paper as inspiration for my mixed media background - I've used Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citrone, Kitsch Flamingo and Tumbled Glass with some Kaisercraft stencils - Bubbles & Snowy and a cross stamp. 

Once I had my background done I layered up some papers and added some ephemera layers and flowers to my page and finished off with some journaling word stickers. 

My title is the name of the ride - SX360 and I have used the Simple Stories Colour Vibe Foam Thicker Stickers for this, they come in lots of fun mix and match colours!

Just be your Own Unique Beautiful Self with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Storyteller by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
I got to play with the new Cocoa Vanilla Studio Storyteller collection at retreat last month so have a lot of layouts to share over the coming weeks. Love this collection so much, absolute favourite. 
First up, 
Just be your own Unique Beautiful Self

I chose the pretty Ditsy Daisy print paper for my main paper and then added some extra blues to match Lilys outfit. I've picked a white cardstock background then added some subtle stenciling using a Paige Taylor Evans stencil and the new Distress Oxide Ink in Prize Ribbon and added a little stamping with my favourite tiny dots stamp

Next I hit the ephemera packs - both the floral & die cut packs to create 2 floral clusters and a smaller cluster featuring the cute camera as well as stickers from the accessory sheet before adding my favourite finishing touch embellishments - the wood epoxy buttons. 

Love this super cute title I have finished my layout off with, it is from Celebr8 Matt Board. I've inked it yellow using Distress Oxide in Mustard Seed.

Scootin' with Echo Park First Day of School by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I've got a layout to share with Echo Parks First Day of School papers:
Scootin'

As you can see, it is not a school themed layout - so don't be put off by papers that seem to be a certain theme as you can always check out the B sides and create anything you want!

For this layout I loved the rainbows and reminded me of this cute photo of my niece - the perfect colours! I've added some cute little stars to the background with some Distress Oxide in Spiced Marmalade before tearing a couple of papers and layering them down the page. 

I've added some dimension by fussy cutting some of the rainbows and mounting them over the matching rainbow on the paper. For embellishments I have used the kid themed Pebbles Kit at Heart ephemera and some older Cocoa Vanilla pieces.

Untitled with Vicki Boutin Fernwood by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Thank you for all the well wishes on the passing of my Dad. 
This week I am back with a layout that has remained title-less for the moment, but is another created with the fab Fernwood collection by Vicki Boutin

I've used Vicki's foundations paper to create my background for this page. I started with some yellow and orange distress oxide inks using the plastic bag technique, then added some texture with some paint and actual bubble wrap. 

My papers I have used tearing to add lots of texture, those edges not torn are slightly roughed up. Next was to fussy cut the flower cluster in the top right of my page before hitting the embellishments. I've used a matching flower cluster from the ephemera pack, a cute little house and some stickers. 

To complete my embellishing I have used the cute puffy stickers from the phrase thickers pack - love the puffy butterflies - so cute!

Coastal Walk with Simple Stories Vintage Coastal by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back today with another layout created with the summery Vintage Coastal collection by Simple Stories. 
Coastal Walk

I've used the collection this week to document a favourite photo from one of my coast walks. Lucky to live near this during lockdown!
For this layout I've focused on the green, blues and browns from the photo and added a pop of red/pink. Love a Kraft cardstock background for beachy pages and I have added some stamping to the background before add my torn paper layers

I've tucked some chipboard pieces, left natural to compliment the Kraft background, under my paper layers for added texture before embellishing with the cardstock stickers and floral ephemera pieces. 

The ready-made cluster above and my cluster below using a mix of stickers and adding some 49 & Market Hike More trinkets. 

Finally adding my title using the Foam Stickers for the large word Coastal and some smaller stickers for walk.
