Some Kind of Wonderful with Prima Spring Abstract by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

This week I have the very beautiful Prima Sping Abstract papers to create with.
These are just so stunning with gorgeous colours and foil accents. 

Some Kind of Wonderful


Oh I just adore this background paper - Spring Awakening - with it's beautiful floral pattern along the bottom. I wanted to extend that by having my photo come out from the flowers and then adding some extra floral ephemera and Prima Flowers from the Spring Abstract collection. 


I've added some Lattice Chipboard leaves to my flower clusters on both sides. I've inked these in a mix of navy and green to match the leaves on the paper. 

I've used a little journaling square as my title, this is from the ephemera pack as are the sweet butterflies. I've finished off the page with a little sub quote, a chipboard sticker from the Prima Aquarelle Dreams collection. 


Thanks for visiting
See you next week!

Delight in the Now with Pinkfresh Studio Delightful by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Today I am sharing a layout I have had the papers sitting with the photo for a while! Finally put it together and loving the pink and green colour combo on this layout:

Delight in the now


I've added top and bottom tearing for may paper layers over a green check background and then teamed it up with some vellum embellishments and some ephemera from the Pinkfresh range. 

I've then added some a49 & Market flowers to match and some 2Crafty chipboard to finish off my page:


I've used the ephemera pack for my title and used an older Pinkfresh ephemera piece for the white outlined flower.

Beauty in the Everyday with Simple Stories Simply Vintage Life in Bloom by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Another layout to share using the Simply Vintage Life in Bloom collection by Simple Stories. 

Beauty in the Everyday


I just love this photo paper and it was perfect for my page today. This is not a great photo but it was a memory of our day so sometimes we just need to take the photo!

With the background already prepared with this awesome paper, it was simply a matter of layering up some papers that I still had leftover and still enough for another fussy cut flower too! 



Then I have used a bunch of stickers from the 12x12 Sticker Sheet to add some fun journaling to the side of my photo - covering the empty space and tying my page together. 


I've finished my page off with the sticker sheet - a flower sticker, some hearts & butterflies and then my title. 




Thanks for visiting
Till next week

Hello Today with Simple Stories Simple Vintage Life In Bloom by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Here this week with another layout using the stunning and popular Simple Stories Simple Vintage Life in Bloom:

Hello Today




But first my background, using Vicki Boutin foundations paper and Distress Oxide Inks. The plastic bag technique using Kitsch Flamingo - my favourite pink and then some splatters. Next watered down some Wilted Violet and used that with a Vicki Boutin mask.  Once I completed the page I decided a little more colour was needed and added some flecks in Twisted Citron. 


Lots of fussy cutting in this layout again as I only have the sticker sheet in embellishments but there is so much to cut from the papers!  I've fussy cut flowers and butterflies and even the fabulous/wonderful tags from part of the paper. 


Then I have added the stickers from the sticker sheet to finish of my page. I have also added some of the element from the 49&Market Sherbet lasers cut outs to my page - tabs and film strips, the colours work so well!!
