Weekend Fun
Echo Park Little Builder
Kellie Moore

Hello Everyone!

It's Kel back today sharing another page using the Echo Park Collection called Little Builder.
I also paired this collection with some 2Crafty chipboard.
 
Have a look..



I started my page using 3 of the papers to create large strips running vertically on the page and before sticking my papers down I used a texture stamp to add some black ink around the papers.

I used some 2Crafty chipboard called 'Number Panels'. I painted these then added them to each side of the photo.


I then added some of the die cuts from the collection to each side of my photos to create balance to the page..


My title was made using some pieces from my stash..


And because I love this collection so much I have a bonus page to share..


I hope you have found some inspiration today and I will be back soon.
Take Care
Kel

Hello everyone

Here are my Fave Four for 2024!!

Heart this 💖


I love the colours in this, very dramatic but soft with the flowers and butterflies.
Also 49 & Market had so many awesome collections this year. 


Beep Beep Vroom Vroom 


This one was fun, loved using the chippy to document my daughter getting
 her P's and the cute twist on "traditional" boy paper. 

Roll Up


Fussy cutting!!
This paper was perfect with its' carnival vibes and well worth the effort to fussy cut.
Mintay crated the prettiest of papers!

Together


Some fussy cutting, gorgeous colours and the very cool larger size embellishments
 in VB collections make this a fave.
Vicki Boutin papers are always so perfect!


Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year!!

December Details with
Vicki Boutin Wrapped in Ribbons
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

A final Christmas layout for the year, this time using Vicki Boutin Wrapped in Ribbons

December Details



I was feeling the circle vibe with this paper - (#4) and fussy cut lots of circles to cluster around my photo - I have added some foam tape to some of the circles to give extra dimension. 

My background papers chosen to match the hot air balloon in red and the black background makes the page pop!



I've used a ribbon from the Vicki Boutin Ephemera pack - using the reversed silver side to match the silver on the hot air balloon. Next I added some glittery silver stars from an old Heidi Swapp alpha pack then finished off with my title December Details. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Christmas Cheer
Simple Stories Simple Vintage Holly Jolly
Kel Moore

Hey Everyone,

 It's Kel here today sharing a Christmas page using the collection from Simple Stories called Simple Vintage Holly Jolly.  This is a really fun collection with a vintage vibe featuring some really cute icons...the Santas are really sweet.

Have a look at my page..


I started my page using a piece of the 12 x 12 papers that already has a layering piece printed on it. These papers take a lot of the work out of your work and make a real statement on your page. 



I then used the black and cream spotty paper to create a horizontal base for my photos.

For my title I used one of the layering pieces from the ephemera pieces along with the word 'cheer' from the foam thickers...



I tucked some ephemera pieces to the top of my photos, then created an embellishment cluster to the top right of my page to create a diagonal flow...




I hope you enjoyed my page today and you are getting some of your Christmas memories
 scrapped.... or get some time to after this crazy time of year.

Merry Christmas!
Kel

The Best Reindeer
Bella Blvd Merry and Bright
and Doodlebug Tinsel Time
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Continuing with the Christmas inspiration for this month, I have used more Bella Blvd Merry Mingle and the Doodlebug Tinsel Time die-cuts to create:

The Best Reindeer



Love this photo of my pooch Harry in his antlers and festive bow tie in front of the Christmas Tree last year - the antlers don't stay on long!! 

I've used some of the bright and fun papers from the Bella Blvd Merry and Bright collection in my design, taking my colour inspiration from the Christmas tree and pop of black for Harrys features. I've again used a pink doily to tie in with my page. 


Next some of the super cute Doodlebug Tinsel Time embellishments - these are just so perfect and I have created a little scene with a tree, sleigh and reindeer. Next some alphas - the gold CVS Deck the Halls Puffy Gold Stickers are so beautiful and really pop on the black! I have then used single alphas to add "Reindeer" in a pretty red glitter from my stash. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Calling Santa with Doodlebug Tinsel Time and Bella Blvd Merry Mingle by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone


Another Christmas layout to share today using Doodlebug Tinsel Time and Bella Blvd Merry Mingle

Calling Santa


I've used a mix of papers from both collections - they are quite similar in colours and go well together! Then to embellish I have used the Doodlebug Tinsel Time Odds and Ends Die-cuts - there are so many diecuts in this pack they are great value!

I found a cute doily in my stash that teamed up perfectly with both the paper and my very pink photo from The Grounds Sugarplum themed alleyway. To this I have added some die-cuts. 



I've used the die cuts to make a cute little string of lights, alternating having them on foam tape and flat on the page for some dimesion and then adding some twine to keep them together



To the other side of my page I have added some more cute die-cuts and then added my title using some old stickers from my stash and then some Bella Blvd Puffy Stickers . 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Little Mister Fix It
Echo Park Little Builder
Kellie Moore

Hi Everyone!

It's Kel here today sharing a page with the new collection from Echo Park called Little Builder. This collection is so cute with lots of building, construction and boy icons. I love the colour palette...blues, yellows, orange with black pops. 
Today I'm documenting two photos of one of my boys building with a construction set he was given for Christmas.

 Here is a look.. 




I started my page using 3 of the papers to create a vertical base for my photos. I decided to place my photos to the top and bottom of my page with the title running through the middle.

The title is made using a sticker from the sticker sheet. So it popped off the page, I used a piece of the black paper from the solids paper pack, cutting it into a banner to add interest. 




For my photos I layered up some of the papers behind them, layering them off centre... I really like this look. 

My top photo is I placed further to the right with an embellishment cluster to the left, then did the opposite to my bottom photo to create an even design. 




To the opposite side of my photos I added a 2Crafty piece called Framed Chained Circles which I painted black..



and I also added some stencil using a Aall and Create Stencil..

I hope you enjoyed my page today and you check out this collection in the store!

Till next time!
Kel

Magical
with Uniquely Creative Christmas Wishes
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

It's December and that means Christmas!!
So over the next few weeks I have some Christmas layouts to share with you all. 

Magical


This range was just perfect for my photos from The Grounds Sugarplum Christmas theme this year. How cool is the tree made out of ballet slippers?

I chose this Christmas Tree base paper - Peace on Earth,  for my layout then matted it onto the B Side of the Decorations paper. I've used both sides of the Presents paper to matt by photo. Next it was time for some Creative Cuts - cute presents and bows to match and a little tag made using the Checking it Twice paper - cut into a tag and threaded with some twine


I've used more of the Creative Cuts - some pretty baubles across the top of my page and then a poinsettia teamed up with a couple that I have fussy cut from the Wishes paper


The piece I love and is just perfect for my page from Stamperia The Nutcracker die cuts - three ballerinas! They go so perfectly with this paper too.

Then finished off with the perfect title - Magical by Cocoa Vanilla Studio Deck the Halls Puffy Gold Stickers


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Play Play Play
with Photo Play Later Gator
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

A fun little boy page this week using the adorable Later Gator collection by Photo Play. 

PLAY PLAY PLAY



For this page I decided on a fun little row of banners so have gathered up lots of the patterned papers and cut even width adding a little banner at the end then lined them up on some white cardstock before adding another little banner horizontally to tie them together. A little patterned paper behind where my photo goes above the banner. 



Next I created a title using a 3x4 journaling piece and matted with one of the patterned papers. Some cool 2Crafty chipboard Grid panel broken up then inked in complimentary colours placed around my photo before adding some stickers from the Photo Play Later Gator Sticker Sheet

Using Chipboard and Rub Ons
to Embellish this Mixed Media Layout
Kellie Moore

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

It's Kel back today sharing a mixed media page with a mish mash of products from
the store. For my page today, I decided to focus on 2Crafty chipboard and rub ons
to embellish my page.
 I love both these products, and you will find links below to what I have used. 

Here is the page of my 'Ãœnique' 11 year old...



To start my page, I used some papers from 49 and Market and Uniquely Creative to create a base for my photos. I layered them up, tearing the papers to give them some nice texture.

I placed my photos in the middle of my page and used a frame from 49 and Market to frame the photo on the left., then I placed my chipboard on either side of my photos and some 2Crafty cogs to the top left.



I placed a bunch of rubs ons around the patterned papers on my page. 


To the top and bottom of the page I used a woodgrain paper from Uniquely Creative,
 cutting it into pieces, distressing the edges and gluing them down slightly unbalanced.

For my title, I used some of the papers I had already used on the page to cut out my title. 




Before gluing my title to the page, I used some Cog rub ons from AAll and Create
and I also used some 2Crafty chipboard cogs which I painted.


I hope you enjoyed my 'boy' page today, I had a lot of fun creating it! 
I will be back soon!
