December Details withVicki Boutin Wrapped in Ribbonsby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
A final Christmas layout for the year, this time using Vicki Boutin Wrapped in Ribbons
December Details

I was feeling the circle vibe with this paper - (#4) and fussy cut lots of circles to cluster around my photo - I have added some foam tape to some of the circles to give extra dimension. 
My background papers chosen to match the hot air balloon in red and the black background makes the page pop!

I've used a ribbon from the Vicki Boutin Ephemera pack - using the reversed silver side to match the silver on the hot air balloon. Next I added some glittery silver stars from an old Heidi Swapp alpha pack then finished off with my title December Details. 

Thanks for stopping by

Christmas Cheer Simple Stories Simple Vintage Holly Jolly Kel Moore

Hey Everyone,
 It's Kel here today sharing a Christmas page using the collection from Simple Stories called Simple Vintage Holly Jolly.  This is a really fun collection with a vintage vibe featuring some really cute icons...the Santas are really sweet.
Have a look at my page..

I started my page using a piece of the 12 x 12 papers that already has a layering piece printed on it. These papers take a lot of the work out of your work and make a real statement on your page. 

I then used the black and cream spotty paper to create a horizontal base for my photos.
For my title I used one of the layering pieces from the ephemera pieces along with the word 'cheer' from the foam thickers...

I tucked some ephemera pieces to the top of my photos, then created an embellishment cluster to the top right of my page to create a diagonal flow...

I hope you enjoyed my page today and you are getting some of your Christmas memories
 scrapped.... or get some time to after this crazy time of year.
Merry Christmas!Kel

The Best ReindeerBella Blvd Merry and Brightand Doodlebug Tinsel Timeby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Continuing with the Christmas inspiration for this month, I have used more Bella Blvd Merry Mingle and the Doodlebug Tinsel Time die-cuts to create:
The Best Reindeer

Love this photo of my pooch Harry in his antlers and festive bow tie in front of the Christmas Tree last year - the antlers don't stay on long!! 
I've used some of the bright and fun papers from the Bella Blvd Merry and Bright collection in my design, taking my colour inspiration from the Christmas tree and pop of black for Harrys features. I've again used a pink doily to tie in with my page. 

Next some of the super cute Doodlebug Tinsel Time embellishments - these are just so perfect and I have created a little scene with a tree, sleigh and reindeer. Next some alphas - the gold CVS Deck the Halls Puffy Gold Stickers are so beautiful and really pop on the black! I have then used single alphas to add "Reindeer" in a pretty red glitter from my stash.

Calling Santa with Doodlebug Tinsel Time and Bella Blvd Merry Mingle by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Another Christmas layout to share today using Doodlebug Tinsel Time and Bella Blvd Merry Mingle
Calling Santa

I've used a mix of papers from both collections - they are quite similar in colours and go well together! Then to embellish I have used the Doodlebug Tinsel Time Odds and Ends Die-cuts - there are so many diecuts in this pack they are great value!
I found a cute doily in my stash that teamed up perfectly with both the paper and my very pink photo from The Grounds Sugarplum themed alleyway. To this I have added some die-cuts. 

I've used the die cuts to make a cute little string of lights, alternating having them on foam tape and flat on the page for some dimesion and then adding some twine to keep them together

To the other side of my page I have added some more cute die-cuts and then added my title using some old stickers from my stash and then some Bella Blvd Puffy Stickers .

Little Mister Fix It Echo Park Little Builder Kellie Moore

Hi Everyone!
It's Kel here today sharing a page with the new collection from Echo Park called Little Builder. This collection is so cute with lots of building, construction and boy icons. I love the colour palette...blues, yellows, orange with black pops. Today I'm documenting two photos of one of my boys building with a construction set he was given for Christmas.
 Here is a look.. 

I started my page using 3 of the papers to create a vertical base for my photos. I decided to place my photos to the top and bottom of my page with the title running through the middle.
The title is made using a sticker from the sticker sheet. So it popped off the page, I used a piece of the black paper from the solids paper pack, cutting it into a banner to add interest. 

For my photos I layered up some of the papers behind them, layering them off centre... I really like this look. 
My top photo is I placed further to the right with an embellishment cluster to the left, then did the opposite to my bottom photo to create an even design. 

To the opposite side of my photos I added a 2Crafty piece called Framed Chained Circles which I painted black..

and I also added some stencil using a Aall and Create Stencil..
I hope you enjoyed my page today and you check out this collection in the store!
Till next time!Kel

Magicalwith Uniquely Creative Christmas Wishesby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
It's December and that means Christmas!!
So over the next few weeks I have some Christmas layouts to share with you all. 
Magical

This range was just perfect for my photos from The Grounds Sugarplum Christmas theme this year. How cool is the tree made out of ballet slippers?
I chose this Christmas Tree base paper - Peace on Earth,  for my layout then matted it onto the B Side of the Decorations paper. I've used both sides of the Presents paper to matt by photo. Next it was time for some Creative Cuts - cute presents and bows to match and a little tag made using the Checking it Twice paper - cut into a tag and threaded with some twine

I've used more of the Creative Cuts - some pretty baubles across the top of my page and then a poinsettia teamed up with a couple that I have fussy cut from the Wishes paper

The piece I love and is just perfect for my page from Stamperia The Nutcracker die cuts - three ballerinas! They go so perfectly with this paper too.
Then finished off with the perfect title - Magical by Cocoa Vanilla Studio Deck the Halls Puffy Gold Stickers

A fun little boy page this week using the adorable Later Gator collection by Photo Play. 
PLAY PLAY PLAY

For this page I decided on a fun little row of banners so have gathered up lots of the patterned papers and cut even width adding a little banner at the end then lined them up on some white cardstock before adding another little banner horizontally to tie them together. A little patterned paper behind where my photo goes above the banner. 

Next I created a title using a 3x4 journaling piece and matted with one of the patterned papers. Some cool 2Crafty chipboard Grid panel broken up then inked in complimentary colours placed around my photo before adding some stickers from the Photo Play Later Gator Sticker Sheet

Using Chipboard and Rub Onsto Embellish this Mixed Media Layout Kellie Moore

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

It's Kel back today sharing a mixed media page with a mish mash of products from
the store. For my page today, I decided to focus on 2Crafty chipboard and rub ons
to embellish my page.

 I love both these products, and you will find links below to what I have used. 

Here is the page of my 'Ünique' 11 year old...

To start my page, I used some papers from 49 and Market and Uniquely Creative to create a base for my photos. I layered them up, tearing the papers to give them some nice texture.

I placed my photos in the middle of my page and used a frame from 49 and Market to frame the photo on the left., then I placed my chipboard on either side of my photos and some 2Crafty cogs to the top left.

I placed a bunch of rubs ons around the patterned papers on my page. 

To the top and bottom of the page I used a woodgrain paper from Uniquely Creative,
 cutting it into pieces, distressing the edges and gluing them down slightly unbalanced.

For my title, I used some of the papers I had already used on the page to cut out my title. 

Before gluing my title to the page, I used some Cog rub ons from AAll and Create
and I also used some 2Crafty chipboard cogs which I painted.

I hope you enjoyed my 'boy' page today, I had a lot of fun creating it! 

I will be back soon!

Family with Echo Park Our Happy Place by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back again with another layout created with the beautiful Echo Park Our Happy Place collection and some Cocoa Vanilla Studio These Days.
Family

For this layout I wanted to mix some of the colours together to compliment the varied colours in our family photo, strips of different patterned papers gave me lots of variety and the neutral word paper the perfect base. I've fussy cut two circles from the 4x4 journaling paper and roughed up the edges to create some shape variety to my page.  

I've added some small viewfinders to each side of my design painted white then lightly inked in a pale pink to compliment the papers. For flowers I have gone through my stash to find some perfect colours in the Cocoa Vanilla Studio These Days floral ephemera pack and these make up my two clusters. 
I've finished off with the title being one of the words from the Our Happy Place Chipboard Words collection and some small puffy hearts that are also CVS These Days.

Full of Lovewith Echo Park Our Happy Placeby Fiona Johnstone

Hello
This week I have a created a layout using the beautiful Our Happy Place collection
by Echo Park 
Full of Love

Love this little sequence of my sister and her granddaughter. The blue and pinks of this paper range are just perfect to document this moment. 
I layered up my papers with my photos trio with some tearing for texture then for the background I added some distress oxide in Saltwater Taffy to my white cardstock using the plastic bag technique and some splatters.
 I've then gone to my stash for some little hearts - all from Cocoa Vanilla Studio Daydream sticker sheet and a couple of enamel dots. 

Next some flower clusters using a mix of Green Tara and some pretty roses I found in my stash - a few more CVS hearts and my subtitle from Uniquely Creative. My main title is from the Echo Park collection chipboard titles.

Jolly Christmas Fun Vicki Boutin Wrapped In Ribbons Kel Moore

Hey Scrappy People, It's Kel back today to share another Christmas Page using
 Vicki Boutin Wrapped in Ribbons.
 I love the pop of black in this collection, I think it really sets off the traditional red and greens.

 Have a look....

Jolly Christmas Fun

I used one of the more subtle papers as my background then added some ink through a
stencil onto some white cardstock attaching it to the centre of my page. I added the
 striped patterned paper offset underneath it to add more colour to my page. 
I used a frame from the ephemera pack to frame my photo then offeset some patterned
papers under my photo to give the photo more presence on the page. I also used a
 foam sticker at the bottom of my photo.

Under my photo I used these stars from the sticker book, using foam tape for the middle
star to add more dimension. 
For the title I used the word 'Christmas' from the foam stickers, then used the thickers
 from the collection for the rest of my title. I love the gold on these black letters, they
 are really fun!

I added some holly from the ephemera packs to the top left and bottom right of my page,
 helping to create balance to the page.

 

I hope you have been inspired to get some Christmas crafting in and you check out this
 collection in the store.

 I love it!

Till next time..

Kel
