Stay True with Celebr8 #YOLO by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
I'm back again with another layout using the Celebr8 #YOLO collection. This time I've gone with the pinks and blues for my page:
Stay True

Love the sweet flowers in this collection and chose the background paper with this in mind. Next step to add some paper layers behind my photo and a larger piece in the floral. Then I went and fussy cut the flowers, some phrases, tabs and circles to layer up on my page. 

Again I have used a quote from the advertising strip to add some journaling detail. Plus a cute circle quote and another fussy cut flower. 

I've added a little detail to the side of my page with some paper strips for some extra colour and then used some 2Crafty Chevrons to the top and bottom alongside the chevrons on the patterned paper. 

Balancing out my embellishment clusters with another circle quote and some more pretty fussy cut flowers. The perfect matching colours can be found in my Foam Thickers - I've chosen the co-ordinating pinks and blues to add my title: Stay True

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.

#Awesome using Echo Park Paper First Day of School by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone!Today I am sharing a double page layout created with the collectionEcho Park First Day of School.This range is generally for school photos,but the primary colours and some of the generic patterns in the papersalso work perfectly with sport photos.
Some recent photos of Mr H taken in July this year doing what he loves.

Left side of the layout

Right side of the layout

I've used Bazzill Raven Cardstock

for the background to pop the primary colours.

The multiple photos are the main focus

on the page, I have added stripes

of patterned paper to both sides of the page,

running in opposite directions.

I've used white & black gel pens

to add faux stitch borders to the photos

and some of the paper stripes.

The Frames & Tags Pack has 

provided the embellishments on the page.

The Cocoa Vanilla No Limits Accessory Sheet

had the perfect words to suit the photos.

I've added them to the page with

foam tape to create extra dimension.

The sub-title 2 Crafty Fine Word Set 3 Today

has been covered with Black Ink.

I've then swiped it with metallic white rub

to define the edges of the chipboard

and lift the embellishment on the darker background.

The 2 Crafty Arrows have been covered

with black ink and swiped with metallic white rub.

The title 2 Crafty #Awesome has

also been covered with black ink

and then swiped with metallic white rub.

It works well to define the edges

on the block letters of the title.

I've used a frame from the 

Frames & Tags pack as a journaling spot 

and backed it with white cardstock.

Thank you for visiting the Blog today.I hope you have been inspired by the layoutand get a chance to get creative over the weekend.Please join us again on  Monday.

Official Rain Taster with Echo Park All About a Girl

Hello everyone
Back with another layout created with the super cute Echo Park All About a Girl range,
such an awesome collection for little girls. 
Official Rain Taster

The rainbow paper was perfect for my rain layout and I've teamed it up with
my favourite colour combo of pink and teal then added a little pop of yellow!
Some doilies for some soft texture before adding a co-ordinating flower and some stickers.

I love the texture and dimension from the puffy stickers and puffy foam title.
A very light splattering of pale pink to complete the layout.

Awesome, Handsome and Brave using Cocoa Vanilla Studio No Limits by Kerryn Fry

Happy Friday everyone!The page I am sharing todayhas been created with the collection,Cocoa Vanilla Studio No Limits.The photos are from 2009,Mr H aged 5 at Glenelg Beach.His outfit matched the collection perfectly.

For something different this week, the base today

 is a 12x12 sheet of Bazzill Raven Cardstock.

I thought the black would pop the colour a little more.

At the top of the page, I've used a strip

of Big Bang 'wood panel' paper,

 some hand cut stars from Nebula paper

and a journal spot from Universal paper.

I've used a gold gel pen to add 

a faux stitch line across the page

and gold ink to colour the 

Thicker numbers for the date.

There are multiple paper layers

under the photos, then I have used more 

hand cut pieces from the Universal paper

to embellish the page.

The 'Star' tab is from the Accesssory Stickers

and it has been lifted with foam tape.

I've used a black gel pen to add borders

to some of the paper elements.

The photos have been matted with another

layer of black cardstock.

The words to left of the photos

are a mixture of hand cut elements 

and stickers from the Accessory Sheet.

The elements have been lifted with foam tape.

I have added a little sparkle

to some of the elements on the page with 

the Ranger Stickles Crystal Glitter Glue.

The rainbow journal 3x4 card

was hand cut from the Universal paper

and lifted with foam tape.

The black banner journal element

was also cut from the Universal paper.

The bottom right corner of the page

is a combination of hand cut journal card

and sticker elements from the Accessory Sheet.

The layers have been created with foam tape

and the sparkle with Glitter Glue. 

The title for the page has been created with

words from the 2 Crafty Mini Word Set 4.

I've used the words Awesome, Handsome

and Brave, they have been covered with

Gold Ink and added to the page.

The word 'and' has been created with 

Kaisercraft Alpha stickers, covered with

gold ink and then double matted with 

scrap pieces of black and white cardstock.

The final layer is splashes of gold ink

on the black cardstock, love it!

Thank you for visiting the blog today,

 I hope you have be inspired by the process.

Have a great weekend and 

enjoy your crafting time.

Please join us again on Monday.

The Best of Friends with Echo Park All About a Girl by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I have used the totally cute All About a Girl collection by Echo park.
I adore this colour combo of pink and teal for this layout:
The Best of Friends

Love these super cute photos of my great niece and her best friend and they go perfectly with the gorgeous Echo Park All About A Girl papers. The pinks and teals are so pretty! To create some layers I have torn the papers and layered them across my page - adding a masked doily for background effect in the matching teal. 

My photos I have put straight across the page before adding some Green Tara flowers in white and pink with some 2Crafty branches inked in green tea to complete my clusters. Next a few co-ordinating stickers to match the colour combo. 

The title is also 2Crafty, I have inked this in Teal and then added some sparkle. 

Thanks for stopping byTill next week
