Joy with Pinkfresh Studio Home for the Holidays by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back to finish the year with another Christmas page using the Pinkfresh Studio collection Home for the Holidays:
Joy I love this patterned paper with it's navy background and wanted to use it as a featured background paper. To compliment this I have used the patterned Tree paper with it's white background to break up the blue and added a touch of red in patterned paper and washi tape. 

Simple embellishments to compliment the busyness of the patterned paper. I've used the ephemera & stickers from the Home for the Holidays collection. 

I've finished my layout with this super fab acrylic title I have been holding onto by Bella Blvd - Joy.

Thanks for stopping by Wishing you all a very happy new year!

Living the Dreamusing Simple Stories So Happy Together by Kerryn Fry

Good morning everyone. I hope you've had a fabulous Christmas. Today I am sharing another page created with Simple Stories So Happy Together. The colours in this range were perfect for the photos.

Some gorgeous snaps of my Great-Niece.

I have started this page with a plain sheet of Bazzill Raven Cardstock.

The black worked well with the bright colours in this collection

and gave them quite a pop.

There are a lot of paper layers on the page, I've used the black cardstock 

in between to help define the patterns.

And a piece of Bazzill Kraft cardstock still makes an appearance.

I have hand-cut a number of the elements from different papers, 

the flowers are from Hello Love and have been added with foam tape.

The ampersand, quote and box of hearts were all cut from the 4x4 Elements.

More foam tape was used to lift most of the pieces.
The 2 Crafty Hearts have been covered with gold ink

The 2 Crafty Polaroid frame was covered with patterned paper

and then backed with a different paper.

The so blessed and camera are both stickers from the 12x12 sheet.
I've used a black gel pen to add faux stitching to the kraft cardstock
and the floral paper squares.

The 2 Crafty title Living The Dream was kept fairly simple, covered with gold ink and added to the base of the photo. That's my page for this week and the last for the year. Have a fabulous weekend, stay cool and join us again on Monday for Fiona's next page. I will see you in the new year!

Joy, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi everyone, Merry Christmas for 2019! What better way to celebrate in a scrappy way, than to share a Christmas page.  In fact, these photos are from this time last year - and the girls waking up to a pile of presents under the Christmas tree. For this moment, I used the Holly Jolly collection from My Minds Eye.  

I started with white cardstock on the base. I also used white cardstock to mount the photos.

Then I used panel and strips of these patterned papers from the range: Comfort & Joy, Deck the Halls, and Merry & Striped. I added these in layers, with torn bottom edges and distress edges.

I used Deck the Halls paper to extra mount 2 of the photos.

I finished the page, by layering and building the stickers from the 6x12 pack of cardstock stickers into clusters.

Check out these close ups:

There are stars, little Christmas trees, circles, banners and little tickets in the sticker packs.

 They are fun to layer up in a cluster.

I stacked a few Christmas tree stickers in this cluster! So cute!

And what a perfect word - JOY - Joy on Christmas -

 I hope that you find JOY with your friends and families this season!

Thanks for looking,

Amanda

Love you with Photoplays We are Family by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Breaking it up the week before Christmas with a layout created using the beautiful  We are Family paper by Photoplay:
Love You

For this layout I wanted to bring in lots of florals, without going to OTT on the actual flowers - so to achieve this I have done some stenciling with the Kaisercraft Roses stencil and some texture paste. Once dry I used some spray inks watered down to create a watercolour effect to match the flowers in my pattterned paper. Next I layered several papers from the We are Family collection.
I created a cute little cluster with a few flowers & leaves, adding a cute toadstool and heart from the Pink Paislee Truly Grateful collections puffy stickers. A shipping tag and a journaling word for the finishing touch. 

I've kept the opposite corner simple with some circle journaling and another puffy sticker, before adding my big title "Love You" using some thicker phrases.

Such an Amazing Day using Simple Stories Heart by Kerryn Fry

Good morning AAS fans!

Hope you are staying cool and not melting like we are down here in South Australia.

This week I've gone back to the gorgeous collection,

Simple Stories Heart.

There are no snowflakes to be seen on this week's page,

but the photo was taken in the snow by my Mum on last year's holiday.

A great snap of my big sister and I, even if my eyes are closed.

I changed the photo to B&W to blend better with the papers.

Something a little different for me this week,

I've used Bazzill Raven cardstock for the base.

With the 6x6 Crafters Workshop template Micro Hearts

and Distress Oxide Inks, I have decorated the page two different colours.

Once the oxide inks were dry, I have added some more hearts with gold ink

The using a white gel pen, I have outlined a few random hearts across the page
and added a decorative edge to the main base patterned paper.

I have highlighted other paper layers by adding a straight lines around the edge. 

The quote and flowers were hand cut from the papers 6x4 Elements

and added to the page using foam tape.

The stars are from the 6x12 Chipboard Stickers

and added the perfect touch of gold.

Also used the flowers and word from the Sticker Sheet.

The 2 Crafty title Such an Amazing Day was covered with Gold Brilliance Ink,

I have added Diamond Stickles to the word amazing to pop it a little more.

The journal spot was cut from the papers

and then added to another layer of patterned paper.

The heart is another chipboard sticker.

Thanks for visiting today.

Have a great weekend!

What a view, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi everyone!

I love love love the blue and natural tones of the Unchartered Waters Kaisercraft collection.

 Perfect for some beach photos, which I always have plenty of!

I started with Pelagic paper as my base. What a beautiful textured paper.

Then I layered and stacked panels of these papers: Tide Pool, Hook and Streak. The blues in spots and stripes look great with the dark wood!

I used more of the papers to mount the two photos and to create the little banner strips.

I created 3 clusters on the page, using muslin layered with die cuts from the Collectables pack.

These close ups will show the 3 clusters.

  

As you can see, I layered the muslin with shells, ship wheels, starfish, crab and quote diecuts. Such a simple yet effective way to create clusters! I popped the quote tags on foam tape for some dimension.

Have you got some beach or ocean photos you want to scrap?
The Unchartered Waters collection would be perfect!

Thanks for looking today!

Amanda

A Christmas Tradition with Pinkfresh Studios Home for the Holidays by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back with another Christmas page using the fun Pinkfresh Studios Home for the Holidays collection. I've used the greens and yellows from the collection for this page, with a pop of red. 
A Christmas Tradition 

I've combined a couple of our family traditions in this page - Elf on the Shelf and Christmas movies! For this page I chose a photo of our Elf on the Shelf, Peter dressed as Elf from the movie and went with the Green and Yellow combo. Our other elf, Dandelion is in red so I have used pops of red throughout. 
I've used the B side of the mistletoe paper as my main background, using a solid green background to matte it. Then my photo I have mounted onto the same green, then some red paper to add that pop. 

 I love the 2Crafty Christmas tree, I have painted it green and the inked darker green and pinecone ink around the edges, then painted the gold star on top. 
I've tucked some extra yellow patterned papers under my photo then finished off with some very old flair buttons from my stash . Green and red painted combo for my 2Crafty title - A Christmas Tradition. 

Thanks for stopping by Till next week

This is You using Echo Park Teen Spirit Boy by Kerryn Fry

Good morning everyone! This week I have created a page using the colourful collection, Echo Park Teen Spirit Boy. I went back to this range as it worked perfectly with the B&W photos. This is Mr 15 just doing his thing.

The base is a sheet of Bazzill Kraft cardstock.

I've added some colour to it using the Kaisercraft Designer Template Scattered Stars

and Distress Oxide Inks Evergreen Bough and Wild Honey.

The photos have been added to the page with foam tape to give them a pop.

I've highlighted the smaller photo with a 2 Crafty star frame.

It was covered with Black Soot Distress Paint .

The faux stitching has been added with a white gel pen.

The large 2 Crafty Star has been coloured with Evergreen Bough Distress Paint. 

It is the base for the embellishment cluster in the bottom left corner of the page.

I've used another star covered with Wild Honey Distress Paint

and backed it with patterned paper.

There is foam tape between each layer.

The Ephemera pack provided  the other elements.

For balance I have added another star to the top left corner.

Again covered with Wild Honey Distress Paint.

The 'so rad' circle is from the Ephemera pack.

I have doodled faux stitching on different paper layers. 

The 2 Crafty title This is You has been covered with Black Soot Distress Paint.

Once dry, I have added the white gel pen border.

I have added some Tim Holtz stickers for some extra sub-titles.

That's my page for this week. Thanks for visiting the blog today, have a great weekend. Please drop by on Monday for Fiona's next project.
