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

Today
with 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. 



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Fiona
