You're a Ball Simple Stories Fur Baby Dog Collection Kel Moore

Hey Scrappy Friends!

Kel here today sharing a page using the Simple Stories Fur Baby Dog Collection.

Im a Mum to 3 gorgeous Cavoodles so I love a good dog collection and this range
from Simple Stories is a lot of fun.

The photos I'm documenting today are of my boy Sarge playing ball.
Have a look...

I have used 4 photos and one picture which I cut around to give the impression of jumping.

One of the papers in the collection had balls on it so I decided I wanted to cut some of them
 out to use on my page, which lead to the idea of creating some bigger balls to fill in the page.
 They were easy to make..just cut a circle then added some white cardstock on top which
I cut by hand...I also added some stitching.

I cut 2 of my pics also in circles to add to the circles of the balls, layering my pics
horizontally across the page on top of 2 of the patterned papers.

I decided to add some circles to my background using texture paste and added the small
 hand cut balls to my background with some stitching to add the feeling of movement.

I added some finishing touches using the foam stickers and decorative brads.

I hope you check this collection out in the store and there is also a cat version if you have meowy friends!

See you next time!

One Fine Day with Carta Bella Secret Garden and Mintay See you in Paris by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Today I have created a layout using paper from Carta Bella Secret Garden and embellishments from Mintay See you in Paris. 
 ONE FINE DAY 

I've created a layout using predominantly pink with a touch of black and white. I've used two different pink patterned papers then teamed that up with embellishments from the Mintay See you in Paris Diecuts. I've added some older 49andMarket rubons to the background in pink shades, before adding a flower. 

More of the Mintay diecuts and white flowers from my stash. The words and mini title stickers are from the Mintay See you in Paris word stickers. I've also used some ephemera from 49andMarket for my title One Fine Day and the tab under my photo.

18 Celebrate with Carta Bella Secret Garden by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have created a layout using the beautiful Secret Garden collection by Carta Bella. I do love how thick the papers are in this collection which has lots of beautiful florals:
18 Celebrate

For this layout I wanted to use one of the busy floral patterned papers as my main background. To make this work I have matted the paper with a plain green border, and then matted my photos in a plainer patterned paper too. 
Next I used some co-ordinating flowers from Green Tara and used the Secret Garden Tags and Frames to add journaling to the page. 

More florals and ephemera words

I finished off with using some thickers for my title - finding some numbers in Gold to match the birthday sash and then the large celebrate title from a birthday thickers pack.

Destination Fun 49 & Market Wanderlust Explorer Kellie Moore

Welcome back to the AAS Blog!
It's Kel here today sharing a page using the new 49 & Market Wanderlust Explorer collection.

These photos are documenting my hubby and 2 of my boys from quite a few years ago
when we were staying at a holiday park and they were riding this pedal bike and having
 lots of fun.
Here is my page

I chose a paper from the solids pack to use as my main background, then used 3 patterned
 papers to add strips down the left hand side of the page. I then used some modeling paste
 through a stencil to add some interest to the background..

I have 4 photos on my page so I used the larger picture at the top left of my page and the
3 smaller pics across the bottom right. Adding extra photos helps capture more of the memory. 

To the bottom cluster I have added some paper strips under my photos to anchor them to the
page, again adding a mix of embellishments around my photos. I added a frame to the middle
 photo and added dimensional adhesive behind it to add dimension.

I cut a circle to add under my main photo to help ground that photo.
 I have added ephemera, laser cuts, rubons and epoxy stickers to help emphasise the picture.

For my title I chose the word 'Destination' from the chipboard pieces and cut out the
zig zag shape to help draw attention it. The word 'Fun' I hand cut from one of the papers.
It wasn't standing out enough, so I added some hand stitching to help it pop.

I added some 2Crafty Chevrons to the title which I embossed green...

To the bottom left I added some of the hollow chevrons from the same 2Crafty pack which I coloured black and backed with some patterned paper..

I hope you enjoyed seeing this page come together and check out this collection in the shop.
Stay Scrappy!Kel

The base paper is fantastic with its cure camera and viewfinder cluster in the bottom corner making it easy add some complimentary embellishments to the design!

Bloom and Growwith Carta Bella That's My Girlby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Super cute collection this week by Carta Bella for little girls, That's My Girl!
 Gorgeous pinks and greens and love the thickness of the paper. 
Bloom and Grow

For this layout I focused on the green in the jumper and then added some florals and pinks to match the overall image - outside in the garden. I love how this papers edges rough up as it is quite thick paper. I love the woodgrain paper as a background for contrast - this piece is from the boy collection by Carta Bella - That's My Boy. 
Perfect stickers to accompany the page and some pretty white blooms and a smattering of heart stickers to complete the embellishing. 

I am a sucker for a cute mushrooom sticker and this little house one is super cute!! I finished my page off with the 2Crafty title Bloom & Grow - in a slightly darker red so it pops. The perfect title for garden photos!

Snapshot Mintay Photographer Collection Kellie Moore

Hi Scrappy Friends, it's Kel here today sharing a page using the gorgeous collection
 from Mintay called Photographer.

This collection is so elegant with dark moody pieces along with some gorgeous florals
 and camera icons. The papers have a printed texture, allowing the look of dimension
 without having to do the work.

 Here is a look at my page..

I'm documenting two photos of my boys playing while waiting for photos at our wedding.
 I love the candid nature of the photos, just capturing the fun they are having.

I started by framing my photos with frames from 49 & Market.

This page only used 2 pieces of patterned paper from the collection which I cut up
and placed around my photos. The papers are so beautiful that they do a lot of the
 work for you.

I cut up some of the florals, tucking them around the page...

To continue on with the camera theme I used some of the 2crafty filmstrips which
 I embossed with brown glaze.

I also used a 2Crafty View Finder which I painted black.

And some 2Crafty Heidis Vines which I embossed in gold and added some
subtle stamping to.

For my title I used the word 'Snapshot' from the sticker sheet and also used some
 of the word phrase strips to the page.

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

Till next time

Love this with Simple Stories Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe Collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This weeks layout has been created using the very beautiful 
Simple Stories Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe Collection.
 Stunning colours and a huge range of embellishments to choose from!
Love This

I chose the lovely lilac shades to be the focus colour on this layout, teaming it up with the other gorgeous pastels and all on a lovely whitewashed woodgrain background. I fussy cut the viewfinder and postcard from the 3x4 patterned paper and handcut a scallop border from the Dreamer paper. I have added a butterfly from the ephemera pack and some flowers from the foam stickers pack. 

Love this super cool camera ephemera piece. I jazzed it up with one of the large decorative brads - Happy Day!

I added a fussy cut butterfly here to match the ephemera one on the other side of the layout and used the large ephemera piece Love This as a title. I finished the page off with some foam sticker hearts and flowers and the small brads from the decorative brads packets.

Bonjour with Mintay See You in Paris by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I have a fun page created with Mintay papers See you in Paris collection. 
Bonjour

Some fun photos from a recent trip to the Grounds with their Paris theme display!

I have used 2 of the B sides of the Mintay papers and the added some of the gorgeous die-cuts in the ephemera pack that you can see here:

Fun Times 49 & Market Toddler Time Kellie Moore

Hello Scrappy Friends!
It's Kel back today sharing a page using the 49 & Market Toddler Time collection. I'm documenting three sweet photos of my boys when they were about 3 years old... they are
soon going to be 18 and looking back it brings back so many memories!

I started my page by cutting a large circle and placing it in the middle of my page. I then used a bunch of the papers from the Solids Collection pack and cut a bunch of stars, laying them around the circle.I have stitched some of the stars and popped some of the stars up on foam tape. 

I have placed my photos horizontally across the middle of the page, layering the middle photo with papers and using foam tape to give it dimension.
To add more layers I have used some of the tickets from the ephemera pack to tuck under my photos. 
I placed some of the laser cuts on the diagonal, and placed the 'Charmer' tag onto my middle photo. 

My title is a piece from 2Crafty which I embossed with white powder.

I hope you enjoyed seeing how this page came together, I love how it turned out.
See you next time!
