Seriously Cool Cousins with Pinkfresh Studio Some Days by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
I've got one more share with the PinkFresh Studio Some Days paper collection:
Seriously Cool Cousins

Such a stunning collection, love the primary colours together with a little green thrown in the mix. I've gone with the yellow background using the plastic bag technique and tried a little stencil stamping but it is much subtler than last weeks as I used lighter colours. 

After layering up several of the papers I have hit the embellishments, this week adding the floral ephemera from the Some Days collection for all the pretty matchy colours as well as the sticker sheet and the awesome Chipboard Flairs. 

I've used the Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real puffy stickers for the work Seriously; 

Then used two lots of alphas from the Some Days collection - the cute mini puffy alpha stickers that are multicoloured and the Blue Alpha Stickers to finish my title. 

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Fiona

Pretty as a Picture using Echo Park Paper Pool Party by Kerryn Fry

Hi Everyone!Today's page has been created with the gorgeous summer collection,Echo Park Paper Pool PartyThe photo is my beautiful niece,on holidays from QLD,having a fun at the playground.

The base is my favourite Bazzill Kraft Cardstock.

I've created the background effect using 

the 'Mesh' Tim Holtz Layering Stencil

and three different Distress Oxides.

The colours are Speckled Egg, 

Salvaged Patina, and Chipped Sapphire.

I've blended the colours around the page

to extend beyond the paper layers.

Once the Oxide Inks were dry,

I've used the White Gel pen 

and stencil to highlight the pattern of the stencil.

The word 'Fun' has been hand cut from the 

4x4 Journaling Cards paper.

It  has been added to the page with foam tape.

The 'Sunshine on my mind' journal card was cut from the 

3x4 Journaling Card paper.

I've used foam tape to adhere to the page.

Then added a faux stitch border using a Black Gel Pen.

The 2 Crafty Graceful Butterflies have been covered 

with Spiced Marmalade and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Paint.

Once the paint was dry, I've outlined 

the butterflies with the white gel pen.

The flowers were hand cut from Paradise Floral

and added to the page with foam tape.

I've hand cut the small lemons from 

the Made Lemonade paper and 

added them to the Ephemera tag 

'Happy Time & Sunshine'.

The larger lemon and watermelon were

hand cut from the 4x4 Journaling Cards

and added to the bottom of the photo.

I've used more elements from the Ephemera Pack,

the flags, floral circle and 'Summer Lovin' tag.

Most pieces added to the page with foam tape.

The hand made tab has been cut from the 

Made Lemonade paper by tracing around an ephemera tag.

I've added faux stitch borders, with a Black Gel Pen,

around some papers and the hand made tab.

The 2 Crafty title Pretty as a Picture

has been covered with Black Soot Distress Paint

and lifted with foam tape.

Thanks for visiting the blog today.I hope you enjoyed the process of the pageHave a great weekend and join us againon Monday for Fiona's next project.

Good Vibes with Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back with more Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real collection. I've used completely different papers to last week and added paper from an older collection:
Good Vibes

How pretty are the pinks, purple and blues in these papers? Love them!
I teamed them up with some Distress Oxides. I have used a very light watered down Kitsch Flamngo with the plastic bag technique then, once dry, I have grabbed Seedless Preserves and used a Vicki Boutin stencil and technique to create my background by applying the ink directly to the stencil then spraying with water and using as a stamp! Love the effect it gives. 

I've then layered the papers and hand cut a scallop border for my page from another Pinkfresh Studio range - My Favourite Story. To embellish I have fussy cut the arch quote from the Big Mood paper and then added flowers from the Floral Ephemera pack and puffy stickers from the puffy phrase stickers. 

and flowers and enamel dots in the opposite corner:

Then I've added a title from the puffy phrase stickers to finish off the page. I love how the yellow pops against the pinks!

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Fiona

All Boy using Echo Park Paper Little Dreamer Boy by Kerryn Fry

Morning everyone!

Today's page has been created with

Echo Park Paper Little Dreamer Boy.

This is a great collection with primary colours and stars, 

just perfect for those 'little boy photos.

My photo is Mr H playing in his sandpit,

way back in September 2009.  

Similar to last week's page, I've created a mixed media background.

This week I've used Kraft Cardstock as the base,

with a combination of red and yellow Distress Oxide inks.

Candied Apple, Fossilized Amber and Crackling Campfire.

The oxides have been applied with packaging and water in separate layers, 

drying with a heat gun between each colour.

I've then used the Fossilized Amber and a Vicki Boutin stencil

to add another layer to the page. 

I've used Raven Cardstock to punch out a border strip,

back the photo and some of the patterned paper layers.

Two of the patterned paper layers have been outlined

with a faux stitch border using a black gel pen.

The 2 Crafty 6x6 All Boy Sheet provided the

title, cart and bicycle.

The cart has been covered with Candied Apple 

and Black Soot Distress Paint.

I've given it a finishing coat of Dimensional Magic

and added a word phrase from the Element Sticker Sheet.

The Braver, stronger, smarter phrase has been hand cut

form the Multi Journaling card paper.

I've used foam tape to add it to the page

to create dimension.

The speech bubbles have been hand cut from

Play All Day paper.

They have been lifted with more foam tape.

The bicycle from the 2 Crafty 6x6 sheet has been 

covered with Peeled Paint and Black Soot Distress Paint.

The wheels of the bike have been backed with patterned paper

and then finished with Dimensional Magic.

All of the stars have been hand cut from

the reverse side of the 4x4 Journaling Card paper.

The larger stars have been added to the bottom section of the page

and the smaller stars have framed the phrase on the left side of the page.

All of the stars have been lifted with foam tape.

I've added more stickers to embellish the page.

The title All Boy, from the 6x6 sheet,

has been covered with Hickory Smoke Distress Paint 

and then sealed with a good coat of Dimensional Magic.

It has been added to the right bottom corner of the photo.

Thank you for visiting the AAS blog today.

Hopefully, the layout has inspired some crafting fun.

Have a fabulous weekend, keep warm

and join us again on Monday.

This is Adulting with Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Another share today with Pinkfresh Studio, Keeping it Real collection. Such gorgeous colours in this collection and when I saw this cute cut file, I knew they would go perfect together. 
This is Adulting

First up I wanted to use the Tiny Victories paper for the main paper to matte my photos and then chose to make it the centre of my stacked tea-cups. It teams up nicely with the A Little Chaos paper. Then I have added complimentary colours along the cut file and added some enamel dots to the flower centres. 

Love the perfect embellishments from this collection, perfect for scrapping both the good and bad - check them here. 

Perfect floral ephemera in the collection - a whole pack of just flowers, love it!! The puffy stickers are perfect for the titles and also have a few little embellishment bits that add that little bit of dimension needed.

Living the Dream with Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real by Fiona Johnstone

Hello
This week I have created a page using Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real paper.
I love the pink and greens in this collection. It is so pretty! 
Living the Dream

For this page I started with the gorgeous colours in the Tiny Victories paper - love the colours together and I co-ordinated it with the complimentary teal. 
Next I decided to colour my own cutfile for the background using Distress Oxide Inks to give me the colours I wanted for my page. It makes the cutfile pop on the white. 

I've used the beautiful floral ephemera pack to embellish my page - love how many flowers you get in this set!

I've also used the sticker sheet and the beautiful puffy stickers for my title and as a cute heart emebllishment. I finished the page off with some subtle splatters with the oxide inks.

Grateful using Echo Park Paper Welcome Baby Boy by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone!Today's page has been created withEcho Park Paper Welcome Baby Boy.It's an older photo of a very young Mr Hand I at his friend's birthday party back in 2005.Love the profile view of both of us.

The page started with my favourite Bazzill Kraft Cardstock.

I've stencilled the background in layers,

starting with a Vicki Boutin Colour Study Bubbles stencil

and white Brilliance Ink.

The next layer is a second stencil 

and Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide Ink.

I've used the Element Sticker Sheet to help create

parts of the cluster above the photo.

The tag tucked under the top of the photo

has been punched from the reverse side of Milestone Journaling Cards.

The stickers have been lifted with foam tape for extra dimension,

the moon and clouds have been hand cut from Sweet Dreams.

The paper layers under the photo alternate between

a plainish paper to a more colourful pattern.

I have used a black pen to draw faux stitching borders

around the outside of certain papers.

The photo has been matted with Raven Cardstock

and I've also punched a border strip to add to the base of the photo.

The Element Sticker Sheet was also used to add

elements to the lower part of the page.

The 'Oh Baby' sticker, the buttons, words and deers

are all stickers, some lifted with foam tape.

The 2 Crafty Lattice Heart has been covered with 

Wild Honey Distress Paint.

I've backed the heart with patterned paper

and added a sticker to the side of the heart.

The title 2 Crafty Grateful has been

covered with black ink

and glued down under the photo.

The perfect title!

Thanks for visiting the blog today
