Big Smiles with Simple Stories Pink Lemonade by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This weeks layout created with Simple Stories Pink Lemonade:
Big Smiles

I had almost a full sheet of the Tag Elements paper, scraps of the rest of the patterned paper but still a few stickers from the 12x12 Cardstock Sticker sheet left in this collection so decided to use the tags as a feature!
A large strip of the super cute Strawberry paper then some strips of co-ordinating papers along the right hand side. I matted my photo with the green Simple Joys paper then fussy cut all my tags from the Tag Elements sheet and lay them along the edge of my page - I added some twine to a couple, left some plain and then added a large twine bow to the centre one. 

Next I hit up the 12 x 12 Cardstock sticker sheet to embellish my page with a mix of flowers and few little quotes and hearts. I used the scalloped border sticker along the side of my page opposite the tags. 

I also used the sticker sheet for my title - Big Smiles to finish off my page.

Carefreewith 49 and Market Artful Momentsby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
I just can't get enough of the stunning Artful Moments paper pad by
49 and Market,  so I have another layout to share with you all today:
Carefree

I've gone with the purple tones for this layout and still more fussy cutting - the
butterflies, of course and also these beautiful flowers! Both pattern papers that are
 part of the paper pad. Then I added the ephemera stems which come with the
 laser cut elements. 

The journaling tag is fussy cut from another patterned paper in the collection and
 I've added a little journaling before tucking it under my photos. 

More of my fussy cut flowers and butterflies, teamed up with some of the
 ephemera from the journaling bits - under my left photo.  I have then used the
same pack to add my "original" journaling word and for my "Carefree" title. 

Thanks for stopping byTill next time

Let's Go Simple Stories Rustic Legend Kellie Moore

 Hey Everyone,

             It's Kel here today sharing a page with the Simple Stories Rustic Legend collection.

 

    I LOVE this collection, as a mum of 3 boys, I'm always looking for more masculine
 collections and this one definitely won my heart.
The warm, deep tones with a touch of woodgrain is so good!

Today I'm documenting a page of my youngest boy after receiving awards at the end of year assembly.

Here it is...

I chose a neutral paper from the collection to use as my base, then layered a bunch of the patterned papers behind my photo, making them offset at different angles to create interest.

I created a large embellishment cluster to the top left of my photo, using die cuts, stickers, brads and foam stickers. I also cut some stars from the different papers.

To the bottom right of my photo I have added my title using a foam sticker,
 again making another embellishment cluster.

I then made a smaller cluster on the left of the photo to create a visual triangle, drawing
 attention to the photo.

I hope you are inspired with this masculine page and check out this collection in the shop!

See you next time..

The Little Thingswith 49 and Market Artful Momentsby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Sharing another layout with 49 and Market Artful Moments:
The Little Things

Loved the butterfly paper in this paper pack which inspired the whole page. First lots of fussy cutting over a few days then I had decided on this circle paper making it easy to create a butterfly wreath. For a bit of colour pop I mounted it on to the teal paper which I also used to matte my photo. 

I used a journaling piece as my title and tucked it alongside my photo. Next to embellish with some of the 6x12 cardstock stickers and the journaling bits. I tucked a few pieces along my photos.

Some mini titles from the journaling bits teamed up with some print pattern borders completed my design with a few little bits and bob embellishments and another fussy cut butterfly to finish off. 

Love the bow across the journaling title that ties my colours together.

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
