Bonjour
with Mintay See You in Paris
by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

This week I have a fun page created with Mintay papers See you in Paris collection. 

Bonjour


Some fun photos from a recent trip to the Grounds with their Paris theme display! For this layout I wanted to focus on the pink, black and white colour scheme to match my photo and the background display. I have used 2 of the B sides of the Mintay papers and the added some of the gorgeous die-cuts in the ephemera pack that you can see here:



And of course, it cannot be a Paris page without the Eiffel Tower. This is a 2Crafty piece, which I have inked in grey and added over some more of the ephemera pieces. Love the french theme throughout. I have then finished my page with some words and title sticker using the Mintay words Stickers. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Fun Times
49 & Market Toddler Time
Kellie Moore

Hello Scrappy Friends!

It's Kel back today sharing a page using the 49 & Market Toddler Time collection. 
I'm documenting three sweet photos of my boys when they were about 3 years old... they are
soon going to be 18 and looking back it brings back so many memories!


I started my page by cutting a large circle and placing it in the middle of my page. I then used a bunch of the papers from the Solids Collection pack and cut a bunch of stars, laying them around the circle.
I have stitched some of the stars and popped some of the stars up on foam tape. 


I have placed my photos horizontally across the middle of the page, layering the middle photo with papers and using foam tape to give it dimension.

To add more layers I have used some of the tickets from the ephemera pack to tuck under my photos. 

I placed some of the laser cuts on the diagonal, and placed the 'Charmer' tag onto my middle photo. 



My title is a piece from 2Crafty which I embossed with white powder.



I hope you enjoyed seeing how this page came together, I love how it turned out.

See you next time!

The Coast Walk with Coastal Bliss by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Another layout created with Uniquely Creative Coastal Bliss to document a walk
 I did along the coast. 

The Coast Walk 



For this layout I wanted to focus on the lighthouse on the background paper so did my deisgn with smaller photos and focused these to the left of the paper, adding some plainer patterned papers around my photos. 



I have used a mix of ephemera and vellum to embellish my page. I love how the vellum blends in to the background almost like it is part of the paper. I love the flowers, but how cute are the shells in the ephemera pack ? Perfect finishing touch!



My title I have stuck to the right of the lighthouse and made it slightly bigger than normal to balance out the page design. 


Thanks for stopping by 
till next week

Summer Fun Getaway with Uniquely Creative Coastal Bliss by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week another Uniquely Creative layout, this time using the Coastal Bliss collection.
Love this range, lots of beachy vibes

Summer Fun Getaway


For this layout I started with the gorgeous background paper - The Sea is Calling. Love the woodgrain and all the tropical flowers along the edge. Just stunning. I matted my photo with some blue paper from Days Like This and a torn strip of pink from the daydream collection. 


I've used lots of ephemera in this layout - the pack contains a huge amount of flowers, some beach elements and a variety of words from title size to small journaling sized. I have used a mix around my page. 

Cute little clusters top left and bottom right on my page, a mix of floral and sealife. I have finished with the title - a mix of ephemera pack alphas:

Together
Simple Stories Say Cheese Classic Pooh
Kel Moore

Hey Scrappy Friends, Kel here today sharing a page using the new Simple Stories
Say Cheese Classic Pooh collection. 
I'm looking forward to using this collection to document photos of all my boys in their younger years.

The colours, patterns and icons in this range are so sweet.
Here is a my page..


I have used one of the subtle papers as my main base of the page, then added some blue
 cardstock and the red paper strips along the edges to enhance the page.

I started with adding two papers from the 6 x 8 paper pad to frame my photo.

I have some 2Crafty hexagons (coming to the shop soon) that I painted red and blue to
match the collection then popped some papers behind them, then cut some more hexagons
 from the papers to create a vertical design down my page. I then filled the hexagons with
 die cuts, stickers, foam stickers and brads.




To the bottom left of my page I used the Pooh and Piglet from the page pieces to create a
 focal element to the page, adding a foam heart to the balloon.



My title word 'Together' is also from the Page Pieces.

I finished my page adding some word phrase stickers from the 12 x 12 sticker sheet..



I hope you are inspired and check this collection out in the store...it is SO cute!

Till next time,
Kel

Cherry Blossom Festival with Uniquely Creative Daydream by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I found the perfect paper for my photos from last years Sydney Cherry Blossom festival with Uniquely Creatives Daydream collection:

Cherry Blossom Festival 


The State of Bliss paper was just the perfect background with its beautiful cherry blossom pattern across it. I have teamed it up with two other papers from the range to matt the photo and a small doily to add to the softness of the page. 



The 2Crafty chipboard Cherry Blossom branch was the next choice and I created a dimensional branch using some Green Tara cherry blossoms and some smaller blooms. Love the effect and it frames my photo. 



I've added some ephemera from another Uniquely Creative collection - Coastal Bliss - they tag and word just fit well with the colours on my layout. I added a little Hello button from my stash which is from another UC collection. 

I finished off my layout with some gold alpha thickers from my stash, popped perfectly on the page and some small white thickers to match. 

 

Thanks for stopping by till next week

Love
with 49andMarket Toddler Time
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back with one more using the fab Toddler Time collection by 49andMarket.

Love



 I just loved this background paper with the leafy frame around it but added a little edge of the yellow paper to the sides, and mounted my photo with it to make it pop a little more. I also used some of the advertising strips to add layers to my page - then a fussy cut tag from one of the papers in the collection. I added some laser cut elements to the tag, including the cute ephemera heart and twine piece


Next, I added some more pops of yellow with the laser cut elements doily and chipboard flowers before getting some small titles from both. 


I finished off with the chipboard title love to the top of my page. 

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Blessed
Simple Stories Front Porch
Kel Moore

Hey Everyone, it's Kel here today sharing a page using using the Simple Stories Front Porch collection.
 
This collection has a lot of warm tones with a vintage type vibe and has a family/home focus
 which I think could be used to document so many photos we have. 

Here is a look at my page.
 Im documenting a photo of my Dad with all his grandchildren
that was taken many years ago.


I used the woodgrain in the papers as my background, then used four different papers from
the collection to add horizontal strips across my page. There is a paper that has gorgeous
 doily/lace looking strips which I fussy cut in co-ordinating colours to lay under each strip.



I placed my photo in the middle of the strips then added flower clusters left to right down
 the page, with two of the clusters placed diagonally on my photo.



In the top and bottom clusters I have added some 2Crafty Heart Clumps which I painted white
 so they popped off the papers.


For my title I used the word 'Blessed' from the 12 x 12 Sticker Sheet along with a house...



I finished the page adding some tiny phrase stickers from the collection and adding some
 hand stitching to the paper strips. 




I hope you look at this collection in the shop it really is beautiful.

See you next time 
Kel

Best Ever
with 49andMarket Toddler Time
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

I have another share today with Toddler Time but with a different focus today,
I have scrapped my dog, Harry!!

Best Ever


The dog paper in this range is just perfect for scrapping our precious pooches. I have teamed it up with a neutral orange and some brown to match. For my background I have used a Vicki Boutin stencil and inked some hearts in green ink.



I've torn up some paper strips for my design then tucked a lace strip from the laser cut elements under a paper layer, next I have found a frame from an older 49andMarket collection over my photo of Harry and added a cluster of embellishments from the laser cut elements. 



From the laser cut outs I've used the small green frame to make a little quote,  journaling with the some older chipboard and added some older 49andMarket leaves to the top and bottom of my page and some butterflies before finishing with the title Best Ever. Older 49andMarket pieces are perfect to mix and match with the new collections. 

Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Hello everyone

I have another share with the fabulous Toddler Time collection by 49andMarket today using a multiphoto design to capture - 

Playtime


For this design I have used a cute scene paper of kids playing before layering up my photos onto some patterned paper and then fussy cutting the tags from another paper in the pack, added some holes and twine,  and tucking them behind my photos with some 49and Market Essential filmstrips. 



Next I have hit the Lasercut elements pack and Chipboard pack to embellish my layout:


A close up of the cute kids playing on the background paper - I have added the journaling fussy cut from one of the papers:



The chipboard title playtime across my photos to tie them all together
