Jolly Christmas Fun
Vicki Boutin Wrapped In Ribbons
Kel Moore

Hey Scrappy People, It's Kel back today to share another Christmas Page using
 Vicki Boutin Wrapped in Ribbons.

 I love the pop of black in this collection, I think it really sets off the traditional red and greens.

 Have a look....

Jolly Christmas Fun


I used one of the more subtle papers as my background then added some ink through a
stencil onto some white cardstock attaching it to the centre of my page. I added the
 striped patterned paper offset underneath it to add more colour to my page. 

I used a frame from the ephemera pack to frame my photo then offeset some patterned
papers under my photo to give the photo more presence on the page. I also used a
 foam sticker at the bottom of my photo.


Under my photo I used these stars from the sticker book, using foam tape for the middle
star to add more dimension. 

For the title I used the word 'Christmas' from the foam stickers, then used the thickers
 from the collection for the rest of my title. I love the gold on these black letters, they
 are really fun!

I added some holly from the ephemera packs to the top left and bottom right of my page,
 helping to create balance to the page.


 

I hope you have been inspired to get some Christmas crafting in and you check out this
 collection in the store.

 I love it!

Till next time..

Kel

Beep Beep Vroom Vroom
with Echo Park Little Boy
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back this week with a layout to document my daughter recently successfully getting her P plates:

Beep Beep Vroom Vroom




For this layout I chose a traditional "boy" paper - because I loved the cute cars! I teamed this up with the super cute set from 2Crafty Cars set and added some flowers in matching colours. 

Firstly I wanted a subtle background and to extend the star pattern on the patterned papers. I used the plastic bag technique to apply my blue - mixing too of the distress oxides to create the blue I wanted. Next I used a regular ink to add some stars through a Vicki Boutin mask. 


The flowers are a mix of Green Tara and Uniquely Creative - I've also added a 2Crafty Chipboard star to each cluster.

The cute little car I painted white to match my daughters car. This second part of the title inked in red rose ink, the other in Royal Blue.  


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Halloween Night with
Doodlebug Hey Pumpkin
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone


Back with another Spooky Halloween layout this time using the cute Doodlebug
 Hey Pumpkin Collection:

Halloween Night


Super cute paper with some not so scary looking Halloween figures! I've teamed this up with some 2Crafty Halloween pieces. 

Firstly I created a unique background using some of the stringy "spider web" stuff you get anywhere that has Halloween decor - I stretched it out over my page then taped the back. 

Next I layered up some pattern papers including these cute tags


and then I added some 2Crafty Chipboard - the cat inked in black then some glitter so he stands out a bit!


Another pumpkin - he is inked in a simple orange to match the paper, then finishing with my title Halloween Night. I have inked this piece in a light purple before adding some detail on the the shoes and socks with sharpie pens.

Believe
Vicki Boutin Wrapped in Ribbons
Kellie Moore

Hello Everyone!

It's Kel here today sharing my latest page using the brand new Christmas collection from
Vicki Boutin called 'Wrapped in Ribbons.'
Here is a look at my page..

"BELIEVE"

 

 

I started with the black background paper which is paper #11. I actually used 2 of these papers so I could cut out the branches from the top of the paper and pop them up on foam to add some dimension. 
 

 
Next I wanted to add some stitching to the stars falling from the branches so I did this with red and white embroidery thread. I then cut some stars from some of the patterned papers and gold glitter paper and also put them up on foam.
 

 

I placed my photo in the centre of the page then added most of my embellishments to the right of my photo to balance out the stitching and stars on the left of my photo. I used some of the ephemera pieces and dimensional foam stickers.



 For my title I used the word 'Believe' from the chipboard pieces..
 

 
 
I finished my page using a sprinkle of glitter stars to add more sparkle to my page.
 I love the way gold pops on the black..
 
I hope you enjoyed my page today and you are getting ready to document your December memories. 
 
Thanks for popping by..
Kel

You're Boo-tiful
with PhotoPlay Creepin' it Real
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone


As we get closer to Halloween I thought it a good time to share a couple of layouts using the new Halloween ranges and some 2Crafty goodness!

You're Boo-tiful



I've chosen the spooktacular Creepin' it Real collection from Photo Play for this weeks layout. I love this Orange spider web paper and matted it on to some black cardstock before adding some paper layers from the collection and adding another mat of cardstock to my photo under the patterned paper. 

My next step was to ink black this fabulous new Branches Frame Set by 2Crafty Chipboard. After inking this piece I have used a Uniquely Creative shimmer pen - you can see it slightly in this image:


Next I have used the pumpkins from this set and inked them in two different orange tones and added some shimmer spray to one and a cute witches hat from the Photo Play sticker sheet. 



The title "You're Boo-tiful" by 2Crafty Chipboard is perfect for my cute witch - more black ink and a little shimmer as well:



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

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.

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.

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
