Then it was a few tab stickers under my paper layers and finally finishing off with a flair button and a die-cut title both from the Happiness collection.
Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Father & Son Adventure using Photo Play Best Dad Ever By Kerryn Fry
I decided on a messy background for the base of this page.
Starting with my favourite Kraft cardstock,
I've then applied layers of Distress Oxide Inks, some water and plastic packaging.
Using the colours Aged Mahogany, Chipped Sapphire and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxides,
I have randomly applied the colours to appear between the paper layers.
The snowflakes are created from a stencil with white gesso.
and then some flicks of white are just watered down gesso.
The main patterned papers in either corner of the page
have been torn with to create the white distressed edges.
I've used more layers of the papers and colours under the B&W photo
to help lift and highlight the photo.
My collection of snowflake dies have helped to embellish the page
and work with the 2 Crafty snowflakes.
The 2 Crafty Fernlike Snowflakes have been base coated with gesso
and then embossed with the Letter It Embossing Powder in Silver Tinsel.
I have also added some wood veneer snowflakes from my stash,
to work in with the kraft base and decorate the centres of the larger flakes.
The tags have been punch from the patterned papers
and embellished with some string.
For the title, I have used a combination of two different 2 Crafty titles.
I've used Father & Son from 2 Crafty Father & Son Moment
and Adventure from 2 Crafty Live your Adventure.
They have been base coated with gesso, like the snowflakes
and then embossed with Letter It Embossing Powder Silver Tinsel.
I finished decorating the page with some gems from Kaisercraft

Memories, by Amanda Hartmann
For the main background, I used the Heirloom paper.
As accents, I added strips of the Limited Edition and Rare papers. These strips were
added at the top and bottom of the page as well as around the photos.
Then, throughout the page, I added different sticker combinations from
In these close ups, you will see the sticker strips, words, clocks, flags, leaves and florals
from the sticker book, that I used to complete the page.
So many more lovely travel photos to share!
Thanks for looking today!

Love Life with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happiness Collection by Fiona Johnstone
Stickers, ephemera and flair from the collection alongside some more fussy cut butterflies to embellish with some pretty little cherry blossoms.
A close up of the stamping and a little flower cluster
I wasn't sure if I wanted a big stand out title on this page, so looking through my stash found these older Thickers in Kraft, they are perfect - big but as they are the same colour as my background they don't over power my page.

Bloom & Grow using Jillibean Soup Spoonful of Soul by Kerryn Fry
A simple background effect this week.
The page started with a kraft cardstock base.
Then using white paint and a 6x6 Prima stencil,
I have added interest to different areas of the base to frame the photos.
The photos have been matted with black cardstock
to pop above the layers of papers.
The 2 Crafty Flower Scene has been used to either side of the photo.
The chipboard piece has been cut in two and base-coated with gesso.
I've hand painted the flowers with Distress Paint to match the papers.
Once the paint had dried, I've added some white doodles with a white gel pen.
The cluster in the bottom left corner of the page
has been created with diecuts from the Pea Pod Parts.
I've used the journal spot, hearts and flowers
and given them a lift with some 3D foam.
The 2 Crafty title Bloom & Grow was undercoated with gesso,
and then roughly swiped with Distress Paint.
You can see steaks of white peeping through the paint.
I've used more foam tape to layer the title on the photos.
And that's a wrap!
Thank you for dropping by today,
I hope you have been inspired.
Enjoy your weekend
and join us again on Monday for Fiona's next project.

Hello Love, by Amanda Hartmann
For the title I used a 2 Crafty word title "hello love". I cut the two words apart, and inked "hello" in black, and covered the "Love" in patterned paper.
In each small cluster you will find:
* 2Crafty Lattice leaves (inked black)
Thanks for looking today!

Spread your Wings with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happiness by Fiona Johnstone
I jumped on the trend of fussy cutting the butterflies from the gorgeous Bright & Beautiful patterned paper in the CVS Happiness collection. That is a LOT of butterflies to cut. Only about half ended up on this layout - stay tuned for another page featuring them!
I wanted to stick to the rainbow colours and used them linear but then scattered them slightly so they appear more natural.
I've kept my photo small and layered some ephemera and stickers around it as I want my flight of butterflies to stand out. My title is created using dylusions paints onto the 2Crafty chipboard title, then I watered down the lighter pink paint and added splashes to match the dots on the butterflies.
A view of the butterflies - I have used foam tape to give their wings a lift to create the idea of them flying off the page.

Limited Edition using Jillibean Soup Spoonful of Soul by Kerryn Fry
The Kraft Cardstock background was a great base
for the softer colours in this collection.
I have used the new 6x6 Micro Hearts Crafter's Workshop Template
and Distress Oxide Inks to create the background effect.
Scattered Straw, Tumbled Glass and Hickory Smoke were the perfect match.
I've layered the colours at three different points surrounding the photos.
'In His Element' has been added as a sub title.
I've backed the board with patterned paper to add a little more yellow to the page.
The hearts from the Pea Pod Parts Die-Cuts
were a great addition either side of the board.
Some foam tape have given them some dimension.
The embellishment cluster in the bottom right corner of the page
has been created with a 2 Crafty Clock Face,
2 Crafty small Polaroid Frame and a few die-cuts.
I have painted the Clock Face and added some patterned paper.
The Frame has been covered with patterned paper
and then backed with patterned paper to use for some journaling.
I have punched out some tags using a snippet of green from the Bite Size bits
and a piece for Choose Joy paper.
With some string and a few more hearts lifted with foam tape,
I have finished the small cluster below the title.
Using a white pen, I have doodled a faux stitch line on different elements.
The main title 2 Crafty Limited Edition has been covered
with Hickory Smoke Distress Paint.
I have then stamped the title using Kaisercraft Textured Stamp and white ink.
The title has been added to the page using foam tape to separate it from the B&W photos.
