Good Vibeswith Simple StoriesVintage Flower Shoppe by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back with another layout using the beautiful Simple Stories
Vintage Flower Shoppe collection:
Good Vibes

For this layout I chose to focus on the pinks and florals from the collection.
 I teamed  this up by using a Vicki Boutin Stencil and Foundations Paper to
 create my background with pink - Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks. 

You can see a close up of the distress ink flowers, then I have added a mix of fussy cut and ephemera butterflies to the top of the page with a smattering of decorative brads. 

Some tabs and flowers from the bits and pieces ephemera teamed up with decorative brads. 
A gorgeous large floral basket embellishment from the bits and pieces ephemera pack,  alongside my foam stickers title before finishing off with some Cocoa Vanilla Studio word stickers. 

Thanks for stopping bytill next week

You're a Ball Simple Stories Fur Baby Dog Collection Kel Moore

Hey Scrappy Friends!

Kel here today sharing a page using the Simple Stories Fur Baby Dog Collection.

Im a Mum to 3 gorgeous Cavoodles so I love a good dog collection and this range
from Simple Stories is a lot of fun.

The photos I'm documenting today are of my boy Sarge playing ball.
Have a look...

I have used 4 photos and one picture which I cut around to give the impression of jumping.

One of the papers in the collection had balls on it so I decided I wanted to cut some of them
 out to use on my page, which lead to the idea of creating some bigger balls to fill in the page.
 They were easy to make..just cut a circle then added some white cardstock on top which
I cut by hand...I also added some stitching.

I cut 2 of my pics also in circles to add to the circles of the balls, layering my pics
horizontally across the page on top of 2 of the patterned papers.

I decided to add some circles to my background using texture paste and added the small
 hand cut balls to my background with some stitching to add the feeling of movement.

I added some finishing touches using the foam stickers and decorative brads.

I hope you check this collection out in the store and there is also a cat version if you have meowy friends!

See you next time!

One Fine Day with Carta Bella Secret Garden and Mintay See you in Paris by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Today I have created a layout using paper from Carta Bella Secret Garden and embellishments from Mintay See you in Paris. 
 ONE FINE DAY 

I've created a layout using predominantly pink with a touch of black and white. I've used two different pink patterned papers then teamed that up with embellishments from the Mintay See you in Paris Diecuts. I've added some older 49andMarket rubons to the background in pink shades, before adding a flower. 

More of the Mintay diecuts and white flowers from my stash. The words and mini title stickers are from the Mintay See you in Paris word stickers. I've also used some ephemera from 49andMarket for my title One Fine Day and the tab under my photo. 

Thanks for stopping byTill next week

18 Celebrate with Carta Bella Secret Garden by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have created a layout using the beautiful Secret Garden collection by Carta Bella. I do love how thick the papers are in this collection which has lots of beautiful florals:
18 Celebrate

For this layout I wanted to use one of the busy floral patterned papers as my main background. To make this work I have matted the paper with a plain green border, and then matted my photos in a plainer patterned paper too. 
Next I used some co-ordinating flowers from Green Tara and used the Secret Garden Tags and Frames to add journaling to the page. 

More florals and ephemera words

I finished off with using some thickers for my title - finding some numbers in Gold to match the birthday sash and then the large celebrate title from a birthday thickers pack.

Destination Fun 49 & Market Wanderlust Explorer Kellie Moore

Welcome back to the AAS Blog!
It's Kel here today sharing a page using the new 49 & Market Wanderlust Explorer collection.

These photos are documenting my hubby and 2 of my boys from quite a few years ago
when we were staying at a holiday park and they were riding this pedal bike and having
 lots of fun.
Here is my page

I chose a paper from the solids pack to use as my main background, then used 3 patterned
 papers to add strips down the left hand side of the page. I then used some modeling paste
 through a stencil to add some interest to the background..

I have 4 photos on my page so I used the larger picture at the top left of my page and the
3 smaller pics across the bottom right. Adding extra photos helps capture more of the memory. 

To the bottom cluster I have added some paper strips under my photos to anchor them to the
page, again adding a mix of embellishments around my photos. I added a frame to the middle
 photo and added dimensional adhesive behind it to add dimension.

I cut a circle to add under my main photo to help ground that photo.
 I have added ephemera, laser cuts, rubons and epoxy stickers to help emphasise the picture.

For my title I chose the word 'Destination' from the chipboard pieces and cut out the
zig zag shape to help draw attention it. The word 'Fun' I hand cut from one of the papers.
It wasn't standing out enough, so I added some hand stitching to help it pop.

I added some 2Crafty Chevrons to the title which I embossed green...

To the bottom left I added some of the hollow chevrons from the same 2Crafty pack which I coloured black and backed with some patterned paper..

I hope you enjoyed seeing this page come together and check out this collection in the shop.
Stay Scrappy!Kel

Todaywith Simple Stories Vintage Flower Shoppe by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
How pretty is this collection by Simple Stories - Simple Vintage Flower Shop! Love it, so pretty!
Today

The base paper is fantastic with its cure camera and viewfinder cluster in the bottom corner making it easy add some complimentary embellishments to the design! I started with some paper layers before adding some tags from the tag elements paper, adding some twine then embellishing with Bits and Pieces ephemera

Love the camera on the opposite corner to compliment the background paper, and added the enamel brad to the centre. Some butterflies and an word tag to complete the cluster. 

The big bike to match the bike with floral basket in my photo - perfect!! And a simple title to complete my layout.
