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..
Kel

The Little Things
with 49 and Market Artful Moments
by 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. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Today was Good
with 49andMarket Artful Moments
by 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. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

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
Kel

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. 



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Game On!
with Simple Stories Game Night
by 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!



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

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 
Kel

That's how we Roll
with Simple Stories Game Night
by 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
