Game On
49 & Market Level Up
Kellie Moore

Hi Everyone!
Its Kel here sharing a page using the 49 & Market Level Up collection.

I found these two photos from a long time ago of my twin boys go-karting so I knew
this collection was going to be perfect.

I chose one of the patterned papers to use as my background, then used another paper
 to cut a large circle for my photos to sit on, using several papers to layer up under my photos.


I really wanted to get the large go kart laser cut on my page, so I added it to the bottom of
my page with the 'limitless' chipboard piece layered on top with some of the
 rubons poking out from underneath.


I added a mix of the die cuts, laser cuts and rubons around my photos to finish off my page.


The add on embellishments in this collection are so fun and great for adding extra
finishes to the page.


The Laser Cut pieces are so intricate and detailed.


I hope you are inspired to create!
See you next time!
Kel

Making Memories Everyday with Uniquely Creative Delighted Curiosities by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back with another layout using Uniquely Creative Delighted Curiosities and
2Crafty Chipboard. 

Making Memories Everyday


The green and blues in this collection is so pretty. I wanted the green tones to match my photo but the blue softens the page. I have used the Garden Relics paper as my base and roughed up the edges and added some torn bits. 

Next I matt my photo with a plainer paper and added some scallops and circles that I fussy cut from the Curiosity Cabinet paper and some shipping tags from the Forgotten Treasures paper. 



I've used the creative cuts pack in the range for all my flowers and butterflies as well as some mini words.



More flowers and butterflies from the creative cuts pack:



and finished off with the lovely Making Memories Everyday title by 2Crafty Chipboard. I have inked this in a mix of blue and green inks to match my paper. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

The Quiet Observer
49 & Market The Quiet Observer
Kellie Moore

Hello Friends!

It's Kel back today sharing a page with the new collection from 49 & Market called The Quiet Observer. It's a very pastel colour palette with sweet nature icons, I especially love the floral laser cuts.
I have 2 photos of my sweet dog peeking into my craft room.. have a look.


I started my page with one of the patterned papers, ripping some off the top and bottom then layering one of the solids papers behind it to create some texture to my page.

For the photo on the right I have used one of the laser cuts to frame my photo, then added some of the laser florals to the left of it where there was dead space on the left photo.


The 'Quiet Observer' rub on was perfect for the photos of my cheeky boy.


Behind my photos I have layered two of the film strip laser cuts, backed them with paper, then added some rub ons and laser cuts... I then added a circle with a brown pen to my background to 'rein in' my design.

My finishing touches were some gauze and ink splatters!


I hope you have enjoyed my page and I will see you next time!
Kel

It's Time to Bloom with Uniquely Creative Delightful Curiosities by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I have this months Uniquely Creative range, Delighted Curiosities to showcase to you. 

It's Time to Bloom



With its blues and greens this collection is prefect for your outdoors photos, especially this one of my eldest daughter in her blue/green dress. I chose the background woodgrain to match the palm tree in the background and then the floral green paper to match the print in her dress. 



I've matched up these with some cute embellishments from the creative cuts pack - love the little frame which I have used as a base for my mounted flower cluster. I've added some extra flower stems and a super cute butterfly. 

Then it was some fussy cutting from the Curiosity Cabinet paper - the scallop border and the beauty circle.  



I completed my layout with this lovely 2Crafty chipboard title - It's time to Bloom. 



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Hello everyone

Back with another 80s share from our retreat this year using Simple Stories Totally 80s collection:

Like Totally Awesome!


Some group photos this time from retreat. I have used the fun flouro shapes on black as my background then added some pops of fluoro pink and teal along the sides of my layout design, from the Simple Stories Color Me Happy collection. I have fussy cut the scallops from the Right Now paper and added them to either side. 


I have used the fun embellishments from the stickers set as well as some fun shapes from the Page Pieces set, giving matching embellishments to each photo, with a main cluster of some retro items - TV, Boom box and Cassette tape. 




I added a fussy cut cassette tape as well and added some 80s words to my design before adding my fab title Like Totally Awesome using the Page Pieces.

Together
Simple Stories
Simple Vintage Timeless Harmony
Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone!
Its Kel on the blog today sharing a page using the Simple Stories Timeless Harmony collection.
It is so beautiful and elegant with the green, cream and black tones paired with the icons of florals and butterflies. This range could be used for wedding photos but also has versatility to be used to scrapbook about love, anniversaries, family photos etc.

My photo is of my youngest son when he was a page boy at his Uncles wedding a few years ago.


I started with a plain paper from the Simple Basics pack that you can get with this collection. They make great base pages but can also be great for matting photos. I offset this paper with one of the busier patterned papers to add some interest.  

I have used lots of the different embellishments to add clusters around my photo including chipboard, foam, stickers.


I have also added some 2Crafty Tiny Film Strips to four spots on my page.



The 'Together' piece is from the chipboard set.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are documenting your memories! 
Take Care, 
Kel

Back to the 80s with Simple Stories Totally 80s Collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Todays layout features a fun and funky 80s theme using Simple Stories Totally 80s collection:

Back to the 80s




Back in May I went to a scrapbooking retreat with some scrapping friends and the theme was 80s! Lots of fun ! This new Simple Stories collection was perfect to document it. I love the bright and retro colours.  I've matted my white cardstock in a hot pink paper from Simple Stories Color Me Happy and Bella Blvd Gingham and Stripes paper. 


Is it even an 80s collection if there is no rollerskate? Super cute stickers are a part of this range - not just skates but some retro and neon shapes as well as some well known 80s phrases.



I've used some cute puffy stickers from an older VB collection to add some dimension. I finished off with a shipping tag fussy cut from the paper with Back to the 80s - then added some hot pink twine to finish it off as my title. 



Thanks for stopping by 
till next week

So Grateful for You
with Carta Bella and Uniquely Creative
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back with another layout using papers from Carta Bella Flower Shoppe Collectionand a Uniquely Creative Heart Overlay to commemorate Mothers Day this year with my girls 💗

So Grateful for You


Yes, I did make everyone dress the same for this photo! 

I love an overlay as they make an awesome feature on a layout. Uniquely Creative make a fab bunch you should definitley check out. They can be time consuming till you get the hang of backing with paper but look so effective. I like to trace the reverse side and then cut slightly wider to give an edge to glue down. 


Once the overlay is done I have stuck it too a semi plain background paper - with the white cardstock matt to match the overlay. Then I have added a double matte frame to my photo and some simple embellishments - word and bow stickers from the cardstock sticker sheet and then some flowers and enamel dots to complete. 



I've had this title in my stash for some time - its from Celebr8, and I have inked it and then added some sparkle over the word grateful to make it stand out a little more. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Fiona

Gamers Never Quit
49 & Market Level Up
Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone!
It's Kel here again sharing another page with 49 & Market Level Up collection.
 Here it is.



I started with one of the patterned papers as my background which is unusual for me, but I just love the graphics on these papers that I HAD to!
I have used 2 photos of my son gaming, which is perfect for this collection as it has a lot of gaming icons. I have placed my photos to the left side of the page and used some of the solid papers to ground my photos.

My title is placed towards the middle of the page, it is a chipboard piece from the collection.



I have used a variety of the embellishments from the collection to highlight my photos, including the laser cuts, rub ons and ephemera pieces.


I finished of my page using more of the rub ons and laser cuts to highlight and add more emphasis to the right side of my page and make that background paper pop.


I hope you are inspired!
Happy Scrapping! 
Kel
