Today was Good with 49andMarket Artful Momentsby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have created a layout using the beautiful Artful Moments collection
by Vicki Boutin for 49andMarket:
Today was Good

I wanted a predominantly pink and orange vibe for this layout - to match my
dress and the check floor, so I mounted my white cardstock on to some orange
 patterned paper and also used that to mat my photo before adding a banner in
 pink then adding a soft pastel stripe background paper to bring in all the
 other colours. 

Embellishing my layout involved a mix of Laser Cut elements - flowers and bow,
 Journaling Bits - frame and quote and some fussy cutting - butterflies. 

I adore the filigree butterflies in the Laser Cut Elements sheet, it is a reel stand
 out piece taking centre stage on my layout. I have finished off the page with the
 Today was Good title from the Journaling Bits.

Enjoy Life 49 & Market Artful Moments Kellie Moore

Hey Friends.

It's Kel back today sharing another page using the 49 & Market Artful Moments collection.
 I had this cute photo of my son and dog hanging out on the couch I wanted to scrap...have a look.

I started with a white cardstock background and chose a bunch of the patterned papers to make triangles then layered them on top of each other facing into my photo. This really helps draw your eye to the middle of the page. I then traced a circle using black pen in the middle of the page to close in the photo, enhancing the central design.

I used a frame from the ephemera pack to mount my photo then added some laser cuts around my photo and to the left and right of my photo.

 I have also added some chipboard and rub ons onto the white cardstock to add more colour.

So many gorgeous elements in this collection, great for adding little touches.

My title is a sticker from the collection.

I thought the page needed something else so I have used some torn paper strips to the top and bottom of my page to finish it off.

I hope you have been inspired and are finding some time to get crafty in your days...

See you next time

You Shine with Simple Stories Pink Lemonade and Uniquely Creative by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This weeks layout is created using the most beautiful butterfly die-cut by Uniquely Creative and teamed up with the stunning Simple Stories Pink Lemonade Collection:
You Shine

The butterfly of course is the highlight of my page. I traced the inside the butterfly to cut out alll my paper pieces before gluing them down. I matted some white cardstock on to the patterned red check paper then added some sploshes with yellow ink to my background for a subtle effect. 

 Next I matted my photo in a thin edge and then added some floral to the right hand side so as not to detract from the butterfly. I also added a small tag to the right hand side. 

I've embellished my layout with stickers from the 12x12 Icon sticker sheet in the Pink Lemonade collection and finished off with my 2Crafty title You Shine in green to match the patterned papers.

Game On! with Simple Stories Game Nightby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back this week with another layout created using Simple Stories Game Night collection:
Game On!

I love the bright colours in this collection and decided to use black cardstock for a change - love how the colours pop on this! I chose a full strip of paper to go across the page and then some black and white check. I matted my photo with some red to tie in with my photo. 

Next I have used the tags from the tag elements sheet to embellish and also as a small subheading. I added some twine to complete them. Next some simple embellishments with the Page Pieces set and some fussy cut tags under my photo. I've not used the page pieces previously but have to say they are pretty awesome and I especially love the giant title!

Living the Good Life 49 & Market Artful Moments Kellie Moore

Welcome to the Blog today.

It's Kel here sharing a layout using the new collection by 49 & Market called
Artful Moments  which is designed by Vicki Boutin.
 I have always been a fan of Vicki's designs and this collection is fun.

Today I'm scrapbooking two photos of my nephew. I wanted to use some of
the 'arty' pieces from the collection so these photos were perfect.

 Here is a look at my page.

I have used one of the papers from the 'Starters' range....paper 6 which has a mixed media
 look without having to do any of the messy work. I thought this was perfect as it is a
 page about painting.

I have cut a large circle from an orange piece of patterned paper to start my page and have
 placed my photos on it, layering some laser cuts and paper strips under my photos.

I then decided to run with the circle shape, cutting a bunch of circles in different sizes
to add above and below my photos.

 
Before sticking the circles down I added some stamping to my background to give  

more layers.

My title is from the 6x8 Papercraft Essentials pack....this pack is filled with lots of extra
embellishments great for making a mini album or to use in regular scrapbooking.

I then filled in my page with a bunch of the embellishments from the ephemera packs,
 rub ons, laser cuts.

I hope you found some inspiration today and check this collection out in the shop...

See you next time

That's how we Rollwith Simple Stories Game Nightby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
A fun one this week using Simple Stories Game Night collection, documenting
 my favourite game to play with my sister:
THAT'S how we ROLL

The dice paper obviously perfect for this memory and I have added some extra papers for some added colour and a fun addition of a scorepad sheet from the game itself. 

To embellish I have used the large icon pieces from Page Pieces set as well as a shipping tag from the elements papers, a pencil and paper clip from an Vicki Boutin Print shop and a random heart. 
My title I used a mix of thicker stickers on strips of paper to make them stand out and then some dice mounted with foam .

Sweetest Arden Creative Field Notes Kellie Moore

Hello Scrappy Friends,

It's Kel on the blog today sharing a page using the gorgeous Arden Creative Field Notes collection.
This collection is SO pretty with the pastel colours with the mix of florals, foliage and butterflies.

Today I'm documenting two photos of my sweet niece with her Mum.

Here it is.

I started with using two of the patterned papers ripped on a diagonal across the top of my page and I also mounted my white cardstock onto two papers to create a border around my whole page.

I placed one of the papers from the 6x8 pad into the centre of my page then placed my photos offset. I then created various clusters around the photos using a mix of the laser cuts, ephemera, tickets and
 rub ons.

Some close ups of the lovely finishing touches.

My title is using a piece from the Ephemera pack.

I love this collection so much, I hope you check it out in the store...its so sweet.

See you next time

Kel

Love This with Arden Creative Field Notes by Fiona Siegel

Hello
This weeks layout is created with the lovely Field Notes collection by Arden Creative:
Love This

These flowers on this paper were absolutely perfect for this photo of me with these giant flowers! I had to cut it and make it the top section of my layout! I then added some strips of paper in pinks and oranges to match up with my photo colours.

I've embellished my layout using the laser cuts from the collection.  Then I have hit up my 49andMarket stash - using some chipboard words and the Love This title, and the chip hearts from some of the older ranges - these are great to mix and match! Then I have used a couple of 49andMarket flowers to finish off my page.

Be Yourself with Mintay Papers - Lady's Secret by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back today with the stunning Lady's Secret collection by Mintay Papers:
Be Yourself

I do love the background papers and the colours in this collection - so very pretty! I have used one of the scene papers as my background, giving it a slight trim before roughing up the edges and then matting it on to the black paper. 
Next I have layered up some of the papers around my photo, adding some tears for extra interest and texture. 

Love the die-cuts and they are perfect for some extra scene setting - some flowers, a fan , feathers and a sweet butterfly on the right, then on the left  a makeup bag, mirror, rose and brooch. 

Next I have used the Stickers Words from the collection to create my title - Be Yourself and then add some journaling to complete my page. 

Thanks for stopping by
