Fun Times with Carta Bella Summer Sunflower Collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have used the awesome Sunflower Collection by Carta Bella to create
this layout from a few years back at Van Gogh Alive:
Fun Times

The sunflowers from this range were perfect for my photos outside of the exhibition
 in front of these sunflowers. I have fussy cut several of the sunflowers from
  Sunflower Garden paper to start with. 
On my white cardstock I have brayed on some black paint and then used some
 green distress oxide ink to stamp some wire print around the page. 

After layering up some green and yellow papers I have scattered my fussy cut
 sunflowers around my page before adding some stickers from the element
 sticker sheet, a Cocoa Vanilla Studio stickers and the cute bee and butterfly ephemera pieces. I used a punch to add some leaves from the green Sunflower patch.

and a close up of the smaller sunflower at the base of my page, the white cardstock
 layered onto the orange Sunny Plaid paper. 

To finish off, I have used a 2Crafty chipboard title - Fun times and inked it in dark
 green to match one of my papers.

Fun Times | Vicki Boutin Bold and Bright | Kel M

Hello Everyone, it's Kel here today sharing a page I made with the new collection
 from Vicki Boutin called Bold and Bright.
 I decided to pull the cool colours from the collection to create this page of 2 of my boys...

I chose 4 papers from the collection, cutting them at angles then hand stitching
 around the edges.  

 I then used a bunch of different pieces from the collection to embellish my page...stickers,
 foam pieces, ephemera and chipboard.
 

 
So many fun elements to choose from. 

 I love the title which is from the chipboard pieces in the collection..

I hope you have found some inspiration today and I will see you soon!

Together with Simple Stories Simply Vintage Linen Market by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back again with another Simple Stories Simply Vintage Linen Market layout to share with you today. 
Together

Super cute pic of my eldest and the family pooch Harry. For this layout, I loved this background check paper with the big rose along the side, but I needed something to balance the right hand side so I fussy cut this long strip from another paper to stick along the side and added a cute foam sticker heart:

Next I matted my photo with some other papers in the collection and added a doily behind - Love that combo of check and the lace from the doily. Then some flower clusters from the Floral Bits pack to match the large flowers on the background paper:

and butterflies also from the Flora Bits pack:

Next step the title, from the Foam Stickers sheet, over a floral bits flower and some little  journaling strips:

Hello Happiness with Simple Stories Simple Vintage Linen Market Collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Today I have a layout to share using the Simple Vintage Linen Market Collection by Simple Stories.
Hello Happiness 

I adore this background paper with these giant butterflies and knew I wanted to make it my background paper. This range is all gorgeous primary colours of red, yellow and blue, perfect for my primarily red coloured photo. I added some paper layers to my photo before centering it on the page , being sure not to block out any of those fab butterflies!
The embellishments I've used today are the Floral Bits and the Foam Stickers. I've used one of the larger floral pieces on the top corner of my photo and then a foam sticker and some smaller floral bits to the bottom corner:

To frame my page I have used a strip of paper top and bottom then added a doily to the top before adding the foam stickers Hello and this super, duper cute lady beetle!

and the same paper strips on the bottom - reverse colour/pattern and then a flower from the floral bits before the second part of my title - foam stickers - Happiness and a cute check heart.

My Dad | Simple Stories Fathers Day Simple Set | Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone, It's Kel here today to share a page using the new Simple Stories Fathers Day Simple Set. These sets are such a great way to make pages more cost effective with 6 sheets of patterned paper and a 12 x 12 sticker sheet. You could easily make 4 pages with the cost of the set for only $18.50!
I'm scrapbooking some photos of my hubby with our son Ollie...

To start my page I laid a horizontal strip of patterned paper down towards the left side of my page. I then chose the navy paper and cut out some of the diamonds out of then laid it over the orange paper using foam tape to give it some extra dimension. Next, I used some of the stickers from the sticker sheet to add interest to the top left of my page..

Next I added more stickers to the area between where my two photos meet..

I then placed my title to the bottom right of my photos, using a sticker for my title along with some of the word stickers and stars..

I hope you enjoyed my layout and you check out this kit in store and all of the other Simple Stories collections.

See you soon

Shine with Mintay Playtime & 2Crafty Chipboard by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Another share with Mintay Playtime this week as well as lots of 2Crafty Chipboard stars!
Shine

For this layout I wanted to have a large star to match the one in my photos - I got a 2crafty one custom made to size. I then backed it with the stripey paper (Paper 2) and added some pearls to recreate the lights. Next added my paper strips to the layout. 
A bit of stenciling behind to add some interest to the background

But it needed more stars!! First I added the larger stars and backed them with the bubbles paper (Paper 4) then the ATC stars inked yellow with some stickles to make them shine!

Finally added my photos with some paper layers then found my title by cutting a 49andMarket chipboard word Sunshine into just Shine !

Caution Cute Kids at Play with Echo Park My Little Girl by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
I've got a cute page to share today using the cute Echo Park collection My Little Girl and 2Crafty Chipboard
Caution Cute Kids at Play

The floral raincoat inspired my colour choices for this page and I found a cute floral paper and teamed it up with some purple, pink and green papers, then matting it on to the orange paper to pop with the orange in the raincoat. 
To add a bit more colour to my page I have used some stamps to add some pink and purple flowers to my background - extending my floral theme. Next I used a 2Crafty rainbow and cloud with some markers to add in all the matching colours. 

I added some cute paper flowers:

and finished with this perfect title by 2Crafty - Caution Cute Kids at Play - inked in purple.

Awesome | 49 & Market Academia | Kel Moore

Hey Everyone
It's Kel here today sharing a page with the 49 & Market Academia collection.
 At first glance this is a collection that is designed for school/study photos but I think a lot
of the papers are very neutral that make a good base for masculine photos as well.
The rub ons which I used for my page also have a 'celebrate' or postive vibe them as well.
My page today is of my twin boys taken at their Year 10 graduation...

I started my page using some green and orange watercolours in my background. I layered my
 photo on papers from the 6x8 paper pad, then added some of the number paper to the top
and bottom of my page.  To the left of my page I added a film strip and a chipboard frame
 also from 49 & Market. I also added some of the rub ons from the Academia collection
and the Charcoal line.

To the right of my photo I added more rub ons and some 2Crafty chipboard..

For my title I used one of the new Vicki Boutin chipboard words... I love these, they have a
 matte finish so you can colour them with any product, I used some ink spray then used
 a white gel pen to add some detail..

I hope you are inspired to get creative and I will see you soon!

Summer Days with Simple Stories Summer Snapshots by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I've got one of the Simple Stories Summer Collections  -
Summer Snapshots to share with you today. 
Summer Days

Loved the wave pattern on the B side of the Take the Shot paper and wanted that to be my background as it matched my water colour. I added a strip of the floral to bring some bright fun summer colours. The stripey paper at the top I started and ended in the blue to tie in with the sky at the top of my photo - I used a 5x7 photo trimmed down for my lagoon shot. 
Next step embellishing and I had some fun with these cute die-cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack. How cute is the sun lounge and umbrella - love how it frames around the bottom of my photo. 

Some more ephemera pieces and then my photo of the kids at the lagoon - a smaller photo punched out and then I added a 2crafty frame inked yellow, the photo is mounted with some foam tape

and finally I used the large ephemera word summer as my title, added some foam thickers to create the word days and finished with some cute hearts.
