Enjoy every Moment
with Cocoa Vanilla Bloom and Grow
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Another share using Cocoa Vanilla Studio this week:

Enjoy Every Moment


For this layout I have used a white background with some reverse stenciling. I have taken my Vicki Boutin stencil, applies some Distress Oxide in Saltwater Taffy and sprayed with water before sticking stencil down on to my cardstock like a stamp, then dabbing with paper towel to create this soft background. 

Then I have matted the white cardstock on to the reverse side of the Wildflowers paper. 




 I have layered up some patterned papers from the CVS collection with some distressing and tearing, then used the floral ephemera pack to embellish my layout with some flower clusters.  A few journaling strips from the accessory sheet and the adorable heart puffy stickers to complete the clusters.




and finishing off with a 2Crafty Chipboard title Enjoy every Moment inked in Celadon ink. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Today Was...
Vicki Boutin Bold and Bright
Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone!

It's Kel here today sharing a page with Vicki Boutin Bold and Bright Collection.
 I chose to pick out the warm tones of the collection for my page today. I find this makes
 a page come together a bit quicker as it helps not to have so many products to choose from. 
Here is my page..

Today was.......


 
I started my page by using a Vicki Boutin stencil and some distress oxide ink in the colour Picked Raspberry, then I added some stitching around some of the diamonds to add more texture.
I have added some of the patterned papers under my photo, along with a notebook piece from the paperie pack . As you can see below, I have used a butterfly from the puffy stickers, a circular frame from the foam stickers and a floral piece.
 
 
For my title I used pieces from the Paperie pack..
 



I hope you have found some inspiration today and you are finding time in your week to be crafty.
See you next time!
Kel

Beautiful
with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Bloom and Grow
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back again with more of the lovely Cocoa Vanilla Studio Bloom & Grow collection:

Beautiful 



If you've been following All About Scrapbooks for a while you will know I love a woodgrain background!! But this time I decided to make it a bit smaller and matt it on to the stunning floral piece Blooming Lovely, after matting the woodgrain paper onto some white cardstock. 

Then I have added some patterned papers and photos before hitting up the embellishments!



Lots of pretty flowers from the Floral Ephemera pack and some adorable Puffy Heart stickers. I have then made a cluster with a mix of flowers and some of the Accessory Stickers.





My favourite it is the chipboard title Beautiful that ended up in a mix of pinky red and orange tones after I added some shimmer mist before it was dry that faded it out slightly giving me the perfect colours! I finished the page off with some Accessory Sticker words. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

So Lovely with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Bloom and Grow by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Creating with the beautiful Bloom and Grow collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio this week!

So Lovely


For this page I have added an inner wreath to the wreath paper. Firstly I used my We are Memory Keepers Circle Cutter to cut a circle in the centre of the paper, then I stuck the reverse patter back down. Then I hit the floral ephemera pack to make a wreath around the circle. 



I have added a smaller photo inside the wreath and added some embellishments from the sticker accessory sheet and the floral ephemera to embellish

I have finished the layout off with a title from the CVS chipboard title sheet, added a coat of gesso, then inked in Distress Ink.

Definition of a Teenager
using Bella Blvd Teen Vibe Carson
by Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone,

It's Kel here today to share a page using the new Bella Blvd Teen Vibe Carson collection.

 This is a masculine collection which is great to document the males in our lives. The collection
has lots of great icons including gaming, sport, teen slang etc. I'm documenting a photo
 of one of my boys lying on the couch with his phone...I'm sure all parents of teens can
relate to their kids being permanently attached to them!


To the bottom of my page I used some of the border strips found on the 'Borders' paper along
 with some strips from other papers in the collection to create a base for my photo.
 I have placed my photo to the left of the page. Above the photo I have used some of
the ephemera pieces and cut out some of the word bubbles from the 'Borders' paper also.

I worked on my title using the alphabet from the 12 x 12 sticker sheet, and the Teenage word
 is from the Chipboard Stickers... the scallop border under my title is also from the
 chipboard stickers.


Above my title I also added some stickers and ephemera pieces...


I hope you liked my share today and you check this collection out in the store.

 Have a good week!



Kel :)

Heart This
with 49andMarket Summer Porch
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I'm back with some 49andMarket Summer Porch with a little mix of
Spectrum Gardenia thrown in!

Heart This 


The colours in this collection were perfect for my photo of my eldest ready to go out
 one night. I have stuck with the red and green combo of the Summer Porch
collection and added some bits and pieces from the Gardenia range.
 One of the awesome things about 49andMarket products is how well they mix and match!! 

Here some of the Laser cut embellishments from Summer Porch and some chipboard
 from Spectrum Gardenia, plus a cute epoxy!


I've layered up some papers from the collection under my photo, again sticking with
the red and green combo, adding some tags and a cute butterfly!


The paper was busy, but I still added a little rub-on from the Summer Porch transfer
set alongside the matted photo to add more focus to my image. 

Some chipboard titles and butterflies from Gardenia to match my theme - but there
 are lots of red titles in Summer Porch chipboard that match too! 





Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

AC/DC Lane
Uniquely Creative "Steampunk Graffiti"
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Using the fab Uniquely Creative Steampunk Graffiti to document some more pics from our Melbourne trip:

AC/DC Lane



The paper is just so perfect for any graffiti art photos! I have teamed the paper up with some black cardstock and black paint before adding some embellishments from the Creative Cuts and Dimensional Stickers 


I've then used some 2Crafty pieces to suit the musical theme - this awesome guitar - which I painted to kinda match one of the AC/DC guitars,  and some musical notes. I also got the title cut specially - just used a puffy sticker for my lightning bolt!

Pedal to the Metal
49 & Market "Rust and Revs"
By Kellie Moore

Hello Scrappy Friends, it's Kel here today sharing a page I made using the new collection
from 49 & Market called 'Rust and Revs'.

 It's a very masculine collection with lots of cars, grungy wood papers and I think is perfect for documenting some of the older men in your life.

Today I'm documenting a page of my son when he got his first car...this collection is perfect!


I started my page with a frame from the ephemera pack to frame my photo, then used 3 papers
 from the collection pack to layer behind my photo, cutting them at different lengths.
Behind my photo I have also used some gauze and a piece from 2Crafty to add interest.

For my title I used the large 'Petal to the Metal' piece from the ephemera pack and popped it
up on foam tape along with my photo so it creates dimension.


Around my title I used some of the rub-ons and laser cuts to add more layers...and I used
2Crafty chevrons to point to my title.
 

To the bottom left of my photo I have added some ephemera pieces and the chains are from
 the laser cuts.


Above my photo I have used more of the ephemera.

You can also see I added some stenciling to my background as it was feeling a little to white!


I hope you have enjoyed my page and you check out this collection in the store, its lots of fun!

Stay Crafty! 

Kel

"Street Art"
With Uniquely Creative
"Steampunk Graffiti"
By Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Today I am back with the very cool Steampunk Graffiti collection by Uniquely Creative. Perfect papers for my recent trip to Melbourne and some of the local alleyways:

Street Art



I've chosen a neutral background for my busy photo, then added some of the bright fun graffitied paper to the top and bottom with tears to add to the grunge. Next I have hit up the ephemera pieces in the Creative Cuts pack and used these all around my photo:



Love the cute steampunk elements!



I've used the puffy Dimensional Stickers for part of my title and some older thickers I had in my stash to bring in the blue. I then finished off with some small paint splatters in black  - it is quite a busy page so didn't want to overdo the paint!!


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Me & My Dad
With "Vicki Boutin Bold and Bright"
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Another share with Vicki Boutin Bold & Bright. This week in honour of Fathers Day, I have a layout featuring my Dad and I - taken a few years back, I had forgotten about these photos, some happy memories:

Me & My Dad 




I am loving all the arches in this collection and again have used one as my feature - the Prism paper. I've used a piece from the paperie pack to matt my photo then layered up some patterned papers - the red to match Dads shirt and then I have brought in some pops of yellow. 




Embellishments are from the Paperie pack - a mix of paper and cardstock. Then I have added some foam hearts from the thicker phrases for some dimension. 




I have finished off with a 2Crafty Chipboard title - Me & my Dad which I have simply inked in black so it stands out. 




Thanks for stopping by
Till next week
