Christmas Magic with Vicki Boutin Peppermint Kisses by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back with another Christmas layout using the awesome Vicki Boutin Peppermint Kisses collection to document some more of my Christmas pics from last year:

Christmas Magic

For this layout I created a background using the green and gold water colour paints from Vicki Boutin Printshop collection. The green I have used the plastic bag technique to add to layout then once dry I have used a stencil to add the gold stars. Finishing with some gold splashes. 

I've layered up some papers - a large strip and then a torn piece before hitting the embellishments. I've used 3 baubles from the ephemera pack to be a focal point across the top of the page - adding some green twine to each one. 

I've then used some more ephemera and some foam stickers to add a few more embellishment clusters 

I've finished my page with a title from the Ho Ho Ho Puffy stickers pack. You can see a bit more detail of my inking and stenciling here:

Merry & Bright with Vicki Boutin Peppermint Kisses by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week it's time for some Christmas inspired layouts and my first choice of papers is the stunning Peppermint Kisses collection by Vicki Boutin
Merry & Bright

For the papers I focused on the traditional reds and greens in the collection to create my page,  using the wreath paper as the focus of my design.  I've backed it onto some red stripe paper to break up the white background, then added my photos, matted in reds - keeping them contained within the wreath shape. 
Photos from the Grounds last year - with this giant nutcracker meant I had to use the cute nutcracker embellishment! isn't he cute?

Then I have added a few more embellishments and the title from the ephemera pack to complete the page!

Happy with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Heart and Home by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back with another layout using Cocoa Vanilla Studio Heart and Home. Love this paper and may have purchased a lot!

Happy

For this layout I have used a white cardstock background with some masking using a Vicki Boutin stencil some Distress Oxide, then adding some splashes of yellow Oxide Ink. I have matted this onto the woodgrain paper. 

Next I've created my paper layers with a selection from the range - choosing the Bountiful paper as my focus paper with its large florals. I have then fussy cut some frames from the Framed paper and used them as the base for some ephemera flowers. 

I've then added some stickers from the ephemera sheet and some cute puffy heart stickers before completing my page with the 2Crafty title Happy.

Read with Photoplay Book Club collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I have the cutest photos and the perfect paper to document them -
Photoplay Book Club collection:

Read

Super adorable right? For this layout I have used the book Bookshelf paper to frame my page with a hint of the red reverse side peeking through my torn layers over the book print paper . The I have added my two photos mounted on to more patterned paper. 

I've used the sticker sheet to embellish my page with a mix of quotes and images including the super cute banner. For my title I have stuck it onto the red patterned paper (Bookshelf reverse side) and then cut around it to ensure the title stands out on my layout. I've then added some puffy heart stickers and some mini stars (from the sticker sheet).

Hey Girl with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Heart and Home by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back with another layout using the beautiful Cocoa Vanilla Studio Heart and Home collection. 
Hey Girl

I've used my other favourite type of patterned paper background for this layout - word background - always super versatile. For extra colour I mount it onto coloured patterned paper and then add some co-ordinating sploshes with ink. I then tie the page together using the same coloured patterned paper on my layout itself. Here I've tucked some of the pink hearts under the floral paper. 

Lots and lots of flowers on this page - I've used a combo of the sticker sheet and the floral ephemera packet to make two large clusters, then a smaller one at the bottom. Added a few journaling words from the sticker sheet as well. I've found my title in my stash and then added a sprinkle of the puffy sticker hearts to complete the page.

Hello Beautiful with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Heart and Home by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I have created a layout with the new Cocoa Vanilla Studio collection
 Heart and Home. It has the prettiest colour palette!

Hello Beautiful 

I love a good wood background, especially for any outdoors photos and this one is no exception! I have layered up several of the patterned papers for this page, roughing up the edges a little. I have focused on the leafy paper and a pop of green to match the outdoors. 

As always a fab mix of ephemera and stickers in the collections from Cocoa Vanilla Studio and I have chosen the floral ephemera and the 6x12 Cardstock stickers to add some embellishments to my page - cluster of flowers in 3 corners and some journaling. 

Trying to use up a bit of the stash  - mixing the old and new with theses thickers for my title "Hello Beautiful", before finishing with a smattering of the CVS puffy sticker hearts.

Lovely with Simple Stories The Little Things by Fiona Johnstone

Hello
This week a share with an older Simple Stories collection - The Little Things.
 I think the colours in this collection are just so striking. Love it!

Lovely 

I've started with some white cardstock and added some stenciling in black ink and some textured dots stamping before mounting it onto the base paper. Then I have layered up some of the papers with a focus on the red and green to match our outfits and adding in some more of the black base paper to tie the page together. 

A doily for some texture before adding some layers from the ephemera and sticker sheet sets with a couple of chipboard pieces from 49&Market Rouge collection. I've also cut out some tags and added some twine. 

Doing a bit of a stash bust I have used some older Pinkfresh Studio Puffy Stickers (Lovely Blooms)  for my title before adding some finishing splashes of ink in dark green.

IceCream (Fun in the Sun) with Simple Stories Retro Summer Collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Today I am sharing a layout using Simple Stories Retro Summer collection:
Ice Cream 

For this layout I started with the cute ice-cream paper which I have fussy cut following the pattern and layered it over the darker sprinkles paper. I've used white cardstock as my base to match the white dress in the photos. I've then added my sequence of photos and started to embellish using the 12x12 Element Sticker sheet and some 6x12 Chipboard. 

I've chosen different ice creams to layer up on each side with some ice cream themed words, and a cute chipboard banner. 

I've used the cute Ice Cream Truck as my title with a small banner and subtitle, Fun in the Sun to complete my page.

Captured with 49&Market Spectrum Gardenia by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week some more 49 and Market. I love this photo of my youngest, mucking around before we got some photos for her formal. She is wearing her favourite colour so I chose to make the page almost monotone, and what better collection than 49&Market Spectrum Gardenia with a bit of 49&Market Colour Swatch Lavender. 

Captured

After using my 49&Market Spectrum Gardenia background paper I have grabbed some of the Colour Swatch frames in Lavender and arranged these into a pattern on my base, I have used the large for my photo before using some rub-ons and even some packaging behind the frames. 
On the right side of my page you can see the lower frame has some rub-on butterfly detail - from the 12x12 Butterfly Flight Rub-On sheet. Then the top frame some words from the Gardenia Chipboard Word Set including the heart, before finishing with some Gardenia Laser Cut out Butterflies and some Green Tara Cherry Blossoms. A bit of greenery from the Gardenia Laser Cut out Leaves

and on the left I have used the packaging flower from the Lavender frames then some more of the Spectrum Gardenia Laser cut Butterflies and a Green Tara Cherry Blossom with my title from the Gardenia Chipboard Word set

Grow and Bloom with Simple Stories Boho Sunshine by Fiona Johntstone

Hello Everyone
Back today with another layout using Simple Stories Boho Sunshine.
Such a fun and colourful range perfect for kids photos!

Grow and Bloom

For this layout I wanted to use complimentary colours for my photo with an emphasis on her top. I've used some distress oxide ink using the plastic bag technique and some extra sploshes to break up the white cardstock before layering some floral paper and then the green to match the top. 
Over the inked background I've used a mix of foam and paper flowers cascading down towards the bottom of the page:

I've added some larger flowers to the opposite corner of the photo and fussy cut some small butterflies before finishing my layout with a foam word sticker.
