Shine Bright with Simple Stories Kate & Ash by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I have a layout to share created with the new Kate & Ash collection  by Simple Stories.  Perfect for teenagers!
Shine Bright

The outdoorsy feel of this paper determined my choice of Kraft Cardstock and I have added some masking of some little flowers in orange ink to break up the plainess of the Kraft. 
Next it was layer up some papers, I've added a paper from the Pebbles Peek-a-Boo boy collection as I needed some green on my page to tie in with all the green in the background of my photo. 

Embellishments are a mixture - some Kate & Ash foam and chipboard stickers, 2Crafty Chipboard butterflies and some bits and bobs from my stash. 
I love the foam thickers - perfect titles and then some journaling words from an older Simple Stories collection.

It's the Little Things using Kaisercraft Fallen Leaves by Kerryn Fry

Good morning everyone! Today I'm sharing my second page created  with the collection, Kaisercraft Fallen Leaves. The perfect autumn photos of Mr H taken at Botanic Park in 2010. He loved to collect leaves. Absolutely LOVE this collection!

The base is Kraft Cardstock, of course!

The background effect has been created in layers.

then using a combination of Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint 

and Forest Moss Distress Inks.

I have inked the cardstock in 3 main areas of the page.

The second layer is the Crafters Workshop Mini Tiny Circles

and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

I've used a gold pen to highlight a few chevrons in different spots.

The cardstock has been inked around the edge with Crushed Olive Distress Ink.

I have used the Fallen Leaves Clear stamps with Distress Archival Inks

to stamp the skeleton leaf and small solid leaves onto a scrap piece of cardstock.

The Collectables pack provided some words and the bird.

The stamped leaves have been fussy cut 

and added with foam tape to add layers to the page.

The photos have been outlined with gold pen.

The 2 Crafty Maple Leaves have been covered 

with Distress Paints Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint.

Once the paint was dry, I have outlined the leaves with the gold pen.

The wooden leaves are from the Fallen Leaves Lucky Dip Wooden Flourish Pack

I have die cut some smaller maple leaves from metallic gold paper.

I've hand cut the smaller leaves from the reverse side of Warm Breeze

and used them to frame the sides of the photos.

The Wooden Flourish Pack also had the circle disk

 with the maple leaf engraved in it.

The stickers used for the date are from the Sticker sheet.

Love You with P13 The Four Seasons by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Today I have a sweet & simple share using the new P13 Four Seasons collection.  This paper range is just so pretty!
Love You

For my layout I have started with Summer Paper 04. The design on this paper makes it so easy to pop a photo down and add some complimentary embellishments. 
First I have chosen a 6x4 landscape photo and matted it with 2 different patterned papers, then added a doily that I cut in half to add some extra detail without being too loud for the paper. 

Some gorgeous Green Tara flowers in the perfect matchy colours then some matching Green Tara leaf sprays. Finishing touches with a few stickers from the Four Seasons range. 

Then to complete the page,  a long 2 crafty chipboard title in a delicate font that I have simply inked a darker shade of pink to stand out.

Kindergarten using Echo Park Paper School Rules By Kerryn Fry

Good morning everyone. Today I've created my first page using the collection, Echo Park Paper School Rules The photos are Mr H from 2008, during his kindergarten year.

The page started with my favourite Bazzill Kraft cardstock base,

then using Wild Honey Distress Ink and a stencil,

I have added some interest to the background.

I've also inked around the edge of the cardstock.

The Numbers paper is the main layer,

I've used a black pen to outline some of the numbers on the paper.

The tags have been created using Airplane and Alphabet papers.

I've added some string and also outlined with the pen. 

The numbers have been die-cut from the Alphabet paper,

I've doodled the heart with pen

and added a little glitter highlight to the centre.

One photo has been matted with Black cardstock

and then I have punched out a black border to use across the page.

The Ephemera pack was great to embellish the page,

they have been added with foam tape.

I've die-cut a few small tags from the Airplane paper

to add the date and place to the page.  

The words writing and pupil were hand-cut from School Day

and added to the page with foam tape for some dimension.

The 2 Crafty title Kindergarten was from the Mini School Class Titles.

I have covered it with Candy Apple Distress Paint.

Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Enjoy your weekend 

and hope there is plenty of time for crafting.

Please join us again on Monday.

Fabulous with Pinkfresh Studio Noteworthy by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Today I thought I would share another layout I created using Pinkfresh Noteworthy  that I used last week.   I adore these colours!
Fabulous

For this layout I have grabbed together several of the patterned papers in the collection to create my design. I have focused on the floral as my main paper and then used an assortment of leftover papers from previous layouts. 
I then went back and decided to add some masking to the white cardstock  to add some extra colour. 

Then I have teamed it up with some lovely embellishments from the noteworthy collection and some pretty Green Tara flowers to finish off the page. 
My title is from an older Pinkfresh Collection - Joyful Day.

Beyond Words Kaisercraft Fallen Leaves by Kerryn Fry

Hello Everyone! Today I'm sharing my first project  created with the collection, Kaisercraft Fallen Leaves I absolutely love this range. The photos are from the archives, Mr H when he was two years old. Oh how he loved playing in the leaves!

The base paper is, of course, Bazzill Kraft Cardstock.

I have used multiple stencils and Distress Inks

to create the background effect.

Some of the stencilled leaves have been outlined with a gold pen.

I've also used the pen to outline the main patterned paper layer

and the trim across the top of the page.

The journal spot has been hand cut from the Cosy Corner paper,

I've added it to the page with foam tape

and created a sub-title with words from Winding Roads.

The embellishments are 2 Crafty Maple Leaves covered with Distress Paint

and stamped with Kaisercraft Textured Stamp Tiny Dots.

The heart is from the Collectables pack

and has been outlined with the gold pen.

I've hand cut the leaves from Morning Dew 

to create the two embellishment clusters.

The smaller leaves are from the Collectables

and the wooden bird is from the Flourish Pack.

The Collectables pack also provided the extra words

and I've added more 2 Crafty Maple Leaves.

I've used foam tape to create some dimension under the leaves

and to lift the quotes from the Collectables. 

The 2 Crafty title Beyond Words has been covered

with gold Ink and attached to the hand cut leaves.

The Sticker Sheet has been used for the date.

More wooden leaves added to embellish the page.

#stayhome with Pinkfresh Studio Noteworthy by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
In keeping with last weeks quarantine inspired page, I have another to share today using Pinkfresh Studios Noteworthy this time.  I adore the pink and mauves in this collection!
#stayhome

Love the ephemera in this pack of the furniture and knew it would be perfect for an iso page! Then I had this little house die-cut combined with the selfie and presto! I added some ephemera outside the house with a bike, pot plant and some flowers - adding an enamel dot for the door handle and a little enamel shape on the roof. 

I did a light watercolour background to break up a bit of the white, then mounted my photo in a light paper, adding it alongside my house. 
The sofa and armchair add the perfect touch, with a few more embellishments to finish it off. 

#stayhome is one of the recent 2Crafty releases, I've inked it to match the predominant mauve colours. I've added a few stickers along my photo - they cover all the empty space in my selfie and bring the focus onto the main part of my photo. 
Perfect little scene page!
