Perfect Together
49 & Market Plume and Petals
Kellie Moore

Hey Scrappy Friends, welcome to the blog today.
 
It's Kel today sharing a page using the gorgeous collection from 49 & Market called
 Plume and Petals. The colours and the floral laser cuts really have my heart in this collection.

Today I'm documenting a photo from my Great Aunts wedding back in 1946.
 I love looking at the wedding dresses from decades ago.
 Here is my page.


I started with using a piece of white cardstock as my base as i really wanted the laser cuts
 and rub ons to pop off the page. I started with the large arch window laser cut in my
 background to anchor my photo. I then added some papers and diecuts under the photo
to add more layers.

To the right of my photo I used the large piano laser cut along with a frame, more diecuts
and rub ons. I really love rubs on to create a mixed media look without the mess.


I wanted to add more to the arch window, so I layered a bunch of the florals around
 it... love how that looks.


For my title I used a piece from the chipboard pieces.


To finish off I added a rub on and some of the feathers to the top of the page... and a
few gold splatters around the page.


I hope you enjoyed my page today and have found some inspiration.
See you next time
Kel

Happy Birthday with Echo Park Party Animal by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

I have another birthday layout to share this week, again using Echo park party Animal collection:

Happy Birthday


For this layout I went with a fun banner design, using the cute balloon paper as the central focus and teaming it up with the more neutral patterned pink and purple. All on white cardstock, matted with blue which I have also used to matt by photo. 

To add a little extra detail to my banner I have used some twine and glued it across with bows either side to make the banner appear to be hanging. 




Next I have some flowers in a sweet cluster to match my pinks and purples. Also some cute enamel hearts smattered about. 



Then I have used the sticker sheet from the Party Animal Collection to embellish and title my page, then added a few more flowers and hearts to balance out my layout. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Cousins
with Simple Stories Take Note
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I've been creating with the pretty Simple Stories collection Take Note:

Cousins



For this layout I teamed florals up with some black, adding some paper layers down my page and adding some pinks and blues. Then I have added this striking large camera with flowers that I have fussy cut from the 4x6 elements paper to use as a focal embellishment. I added the Little momets journaling circle to the the centre of the camera with some mounting tape and separately added the Big Smiles words from the element sheet. 



I then added some complimentary flowers to the top right corner of my photo and a tab along the top. 



I've used some old thickers from my stash for my title Cousins and then added some Cocoa Vanilla Sticker journaling to finish my layout off. 



Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Special Moments
Simple Stories Junk Drawer
Kellie Moore

Hi Everyone

It's Kel here today sharing another page with the Simple Stories Junk Drawer collection.

 I'm really enjoying documenting some of my family history and this collection is perfect! 
This is a photo of my grandfather when he was a little boy with his parents and siblings. I printed the photo large which isn't something I do often, but I do love how it stands out on the page.

Here it is...


I started with using a woodgrain paper from my stash as the background. I wanted
 something  neutral but not white and this was perfect.
I started by using two of the patterned papers from the collection to add a horizontal base
for my photo to sit on.

I then created 3 embellishment clusters around my photo, using pieces from the
die cut packs, foam stickers, cardstock stickers and brads. Before I added the
 embellishments I used some gold paste through a stencil to add more detail to the background. 



For my title I used some gold puffy stickers and the 'moments' piece is from the collection.


Thanks for stopping by the blog, I hope you enjoyed my page today.

See you next time
Kel

Beautiful
with Mintay Lady's Secret
by Fiona Siegel

Hello

How pretty is this collection by Mintay? It's called Lady's Secret and I just adore this pink and green colour combo. 

Beautiful 


This large mirror patterned paper really drew me in and chose it as my background, but matted it on to the cool quilted green paper, after roughing up the edges. I then tucked a few cute flowers from the Die-Cuts to add some details. 



My photo I have matted with some complimentary papers - a floral mix of pink, white and green and then the pink neutral. I then lined my photo up to fit within the mirror, like a frame. My next step to embellish and I have used the beautiful die-cuts from the collection and added some flowers, a polaroid, a fan and some cute butterflies!

I finished my layout off with the Paper words stickers for my title and some journaling!

Till next week

Girl Gang
Simple Stories Junk Drawer
Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone!
It's Kel here today sharing a page with the Simple Stories Junk Drawer collection.

 I really like this collection for its versatility. It has a vintage vibe but I also think it could
 be used for current photos. 
The icons are so pretty with the florals and butterflies.
Today I'm documenting a page of my grandmother with her sisters and extended family.
 I have recently been exploring my family tree, wanting to document some of my heritage.

Here is my page


I have started by using two of the patterned papers to make vertical strips on the left side
 of my page, then creating lots of layers under my photo which helps create balance horizontally.


 I have 3 embellishment clusters on my page, made using lots of the embellishments from
the
 collection. The diecuts, stickers, brads. I also stenciled some hearts on my background.



For my title I used some alphabet stickers from Vicki Boutin from the 'Curiosities in
 Willow Grove' collection.


I hope you have enjoyed my page and have found some inspiration today. 
See you soon 
Kel

Wonderful with 49andMarket Echoes of Time by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Another page to share this week with the beautiful Echoes of Time paper range
 by 49 and Market:

Wonderful 




On this layout I have placed my photo onto the plainer section of the paper - don't want to detract from the beautiful design. I've matted my photo it the purple stripe paper but then added a matt of black cardstock to make it pop then made a rough scallop edge with the advertising strip for some contrast. 



I've embellished my layout using the stunning florals from the Laser Cut outs Wildflowers and added the stunning butterfly also from the same. 


Again I have used a Vicki Boutin title and the black phrases from the Prima Aquarelle dreams chipboard to complete my page.

This Life
with 49 and Market Echoes of Time
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I have been creating with the beautiful Echoes of Time collection
 by 49 and Market

This Life




Love this cute framed paper . I decided to cut out the centre to frame my photo. I added some cardstock behind the paper to make the purple pop and some doily bits to soften the page and match the frame. 



Next I have used the beautiful Wildflowers cut outs from the collection to add some more flower clusters , butterflies and cogs. For the journaling I went to my stash and used some Prima journaling stickers. 




To complete my layout I wanted a title that popped so went looking for something in a dark font. These Vicki Boutin alphas were perfect, the black to stand out but the font is soft to match the page. 




Thanks for stopping by

Lil Champ
Uniquely Creative Written In The Stars
Kellie Moore

Hey Scrappy People! 

It's Kel here today sharing a page using the Uniquely Creative Written In The Stars collection.

When I first saw this collection I immediately loved it as stars are one of my
favourite shapes to use in scrapbooking.

 Here is my page.


I have 3 photos... one is 4 x 6 and the other two are 3x4. I have used my 4x6 to the top
left of my page and the 2 smaller photos to the bottom right.

For all of my photos I have layered up a bunch of the patterned papers, including some
of the solid papers. I have also used some 2Crafty film strips which I painted black.


For my title I used a die cut and some of the chipboard alphas.


My background is mainly using some stars cut from the patterned paper and some
2Crafty chipboard stars.


I hope you are inspired today and your fitting creative time in to your days.

See you next time..
Kel
