Into the Woods with Mintay Papers Wildwood Secrets by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Another fun page with Mintay Wildwood Secrets, just perfect for my photos from
 the Grounds latest installation. 
Into the Woods

I've used the super cute wreath paper here on a cool woodgrain background which I have backed with a red background from the collection. I have brought some of that red into my layout under my photos which I matted with the B side of the 3x4 Paper 06. Also added a doily for a soft effect. 

I've used the die-cuts again to add dimension - over existing images such as this adorable hedgehog, and added some flowers, deer and mushrooms around my photos. 
Some word stickers and my Into the Woods title are both from Word stickers sheet and the perfect way to complete my layout.

Bali 2023 Simple Stories Happy Travels Kellie Moore

Hello Scrappy Friends!Kel here today sharing a page using the new collection 'Happy Travels' from Simple
 Stories.  I adore the colours and icons in this collection, so much so, that I MAY have
 just bought some more of it!
Today I'm documenting some photos of a trip we took to Bali.
I decided to use a grid design...these are a great way to add lots of photos to a page,
  I have included 8 photos. 
Here is a look....

I have used a cream map paper (called Here and Now) as my main base paper as it is a
 nice neutral, then used one of the bright papers to border the whole page
(called Round Trip) I like how this brings in all the colours in the collection.
I started my grid by cutting 2.5inch squares and laying them out on the page. I then chose
where I wanted my photos to go, using black and white prints to help make all the photos
work and not have competing colours.

I mounted my photos on black cardstock to help them stand out and also layered some
 patterned papers underneath.

The squares without photos I have used for my title and embellishment clusters...

For my title I used some of the Bella Blvd Alphas ... I love the font of these and they are
available in a bunch of colours.. 

I hope I have bought you some inspiration today and you check this collection out in the store.
See you next time!Kel

Gorgeous with 49&Market The Flower Emporium by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Today's layout is created with Vicki Boutins' first collection with 49andMarket - The Flower Emporium. The perfect colours for my daughters 18th celebration earlier this year:
Gorgeous 

Love this typed background paper, from the 12x12 Flower Emporium paper pad, with hints of colours on the edges. I have added to this by using some of the rub-ons from the collection under and around my photo. I've chosen yellow and green papers from the collection to match the colours in my photo, adding some light florals into the mix. 

Gorgeous large flowers and leaves clustered either side of my photo are from the massive ephemera pack that has over 200 pieces!! You can also see the rub-ons under these two clusters of flowers.

Even my title, heart and bee are from the ephemera pack, it just has so much stuff.

Together with Vicki Boutin Cut and Paste by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Hope all the mums had a lovely Mothers Day yesterday.
 After yesterday I thought a photo of my girls and I would be the perfect choice to share.
 I have created this with the new Vicki Boutin Cut & Paste collection:
Together

I loved this gorgeous floral wreath paper as soon as I saw it and decided it would be the perfect choice for this photo. I teamed it up with a plainer B side paper to create a contrasting matt background, then used the same paper to matt my photo, before adding some of the advertising strips as layers and fussy cutting some scallops for under my photo. 

Next I have hit up the ephemera icons embellishment packet to grab some flowers to add around the wreath using some mounting tape to add dimension. A large butterfly from the ephemera and a smaller butterfly and gold hearts and dots from the cardstock sticker sheets. The my heart vellum also from the ephemera pack which contains a mix of vellum and cardstock icons. 

I finished the page off with an assortment of words to form my title, these are all from the ephemera titles pack.

Determined 49 & Market Rust and Revs 2.0 Kellie Moore

Hi Everyone! 

It's Kellie here on the blog today sharing a page using the brand new collection from
49 & Market called "Rust and Revs 2.0"

I'm documenting a photo of my eldest son who this year started an apprenticeship as
 a Diesel Mechanic and this picture shows him after removing a bus engine.
 This collection is great for documenting masculine pages. 

Here is my page...

For this page I used a sketch from Allison Davis and it was a paid class, so I can't share
the sketch but I can share my page. 

I started the page by cutting a whole lot of small rectangles with a bunch of the papers
 and layering them across the page in a zig zag pattern. I love the background paper I used
 as its from the solids paper pack but it looks corrugated but its just the print that gives
 the illusion.  Before sticking the rectangles down I distressed the edges of the paper
 to add more texture to my page.

To break up some of the pattern and to give my photo a base I used the cream paper from
the solids paper pack. I then used a 2Crafty 'Grid Bits' piece to place under the left side
 of my photo. I painted it with some copper-coloured paint to match in with the papers.

To create a visual triangle around my photo I added some ephemera pieces to the top
 of my photo and to the bottom right where I also placed my title.
 The title piece and word strips come from the chipboard pack. 

To finish my page I also added some of the rub-ons on to the cream paper.

I hope you enjoyed my page today and you check out this collection in the store... I think
you will really love this range if you love texture and dimension on your pages.

Thanks for stopping by

See you soon 

Kel

Magical with Mintay Wildwood Secrets by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This weeks layout features the stunning new Wildwood Secrets by Mintay Papers.
Gorgeous woodland creatures in wood grains with reds and green. It is just stunning. 
Magical

I just love the full sheet designs on these papers - you could just add some photos and a couple of embellishments and be done! I have gone with cutting with main detail of paper 3 and trimmed this full length to layer it with a mix of the red and green patterned papers, using a woodgrain background. I've added a chipboard border doily to add some dimension to my page - I've painted it white then added some glitter

I've used some dimension by mounting embellishments over the same image on the patterned paper such as this jar of mushrooms, then I have added some flowers cut from the patterned paper. 
The 2Crafty Mushrooms I have coloured with a mix of copic markers and sharpies for a deeper colour. 

Some more of the mixed Die-Cut embellishments and some cute paper flowers, before finishing off with some journaling words from the sticker words sheet. 

Thanks for stopping byTill next week
