Redwood Treewalk with Uniquely Creative Field Notes by Fiona Siegel

 Hello everyone

Back this week with a double page using papers from Uniquely Creative Field Notes and embellishments from Mintay Wildwood Secrets

Redwood Treewalk



I have a tonne of photos from our nightwalk trip through the redwoods and when I saw this Tree Ring diecut paper I knew a double page would be perfect. The design also works as a single page layout. I've done close-ups of each page single as well. 



I have gone for a similar design on each side - splitting the die cut between both papers, using a different halves of each side of the background paper but then tying it all together with the neutral green paper. 

I've fussy cut the tags on the Wild Terrain paper and added my photos over those, adding a cute hessian bow to the tops. 


I've used the embellishments from the Mintay Wildwood Secrets as the small tree ring diecuts match perfectly! I added some fun embellishments such as the owl and mushrooms and finished with some words from the sticker sheet of the same collection. 



Some cute mini floral florets from 49 and Market teamed for a finishing touch. And a cute Pinkfresh button. 


These woodgrain thickers from my stash finish my page off and again tie the pages together. 



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Love This Life
Bella Blvd Documented
Kellie Moore

Hi Everyone!

It's Kel back today sharing another page using the Bella Blvd Documented collection.
 As I said in my last post I absolutely love this collection for its bright colours and ability
 to document so many different subjects. 

My page today is documenting a photo of a dear friend of mine.
 Here is a look...



I started my page with white cardstock, then added a large piece of the 'Captured' paper to
the cardstock. The blue grid reads as a solid so its a great piece to use as a base.

I have a larger photo so I placed it to the middle of my page. Under my photo I have used
 a strip of paper and a scalloped sticker from the sticker sheet.

My title is made from 'Cut Outs' that Bella Blvd make...they are a great option if you don't
own an electronic cutting machine but want the look of a cut file. They make such a
statement to a page.  I have backed the cut out with different papers from the collection,
 popping the 'Life' word up on foam to give it some dimension.


To finish my page I have created some clusters using different embellishments.... 
die cuts, epoxy stickers, cardstock stickers.


I hope you are inspired, and you have a look in the shop at all the new goodies available.

See you next time
Kel

Live in the Moment with 49andMarket Botanical Buzz by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back with another 49andMarket Botanical Blooms share. Love, love this collection!

Live in the Moment



For this layout I wanted flowers to match the photo and to bring in the yellow. I have used one of the more neutral backgrounds and then added some paper matting around my photo, then used the fencing piece to create interest and add my embellishments around.



I've used more of the adorable honeycomb pieces to add layers and then added flowers and cute embellishments like the watering can  from the laser cut elements and diecut elements. 


A super cute flower box to match the one on the paper (left hand side) and a base to layer my title Live in the Moment from the chipboard set. I finished off with some journaling from CVS Bloom and Grow collection stickers

Born to Ride with Echo Park Summer Break by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Super cute boy page today using Echo Park Summer Break

Born to Ride



For this layout I chose the bike and summer themed paper as my main paper and added some coordinating colours. I decided to matt the white cardstock in pale blue to match the top and then added some sploshes of ink to the background. 


I've used the  Echo park Summer Break sticker sheet embellish my layout along with some enamel stars and a pinkfresh sticker from my stash.

The cute 2Crafty Chain is a fun element to run across the page with the arrows from the sticker sheet and then the perfect element a little bike sticker. 



Finishing off with my title using a mix of thickers and some extra enamel stars!

Funny Snapshots
Bella Blvd Documented
Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone!

It's Kel here today sharing a layout using the new collection from Bella Blvd called 'Documented'.

When I first saw this collection I was very drawn to the bright colours and it's generic 
theme.  I think this range would be great to document so many different subjects.

My page today is using 6 funny photos of my dogs when I put my glasses on them ...
they make me giggle. 

Have a look...


I chose the paper called 'Clips' as my background. I liked the black scalloped border
 around the edge.  As I had 6 photos I decided to go with a grid style design, laying my
photos horizontally across the page in two rows with my title running through the middle.


As a base for my photos I used a bunch of different papers, distressing the edges to
 give texture.  
 For my two middle photos I used 2 frames (one chipboard, one die cut) to add focus.


I next added a bunch of the die cuts, stickers and chipboard to embellish my photos.

For my title I used the alphabet stickers and the word 'Snapshot' is from the Ephemera Words pack. 

To finish my page I added a cluster to the top left and bottom right of my page. 
 I especially love the puffy camera in this collection.



I hope you like my page and that you check out this collection in the shop.

Stay Creative!
Kel

Hello everyone

This week I have another layout to share using the stunning 49andMarket Botanicals collection:

I have added some neutral papers around my two photos before using the adorable laser cut honeycombs to decorate my layout, I have added some of the inserts, mounted with some foam tape as well as some additional bees. Across the top of my photo I have tucked some ephemera tickets and tags. 



I've added some laser cut flowers to the side of my page and finished off with another title from the chipboard titles collection.

Picture Perfect with 49and Market Botanical Buzz by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I have the new 49andMarket Botanicals to scrap with. Great range for outdoors photos, and perfect for a recent quick visit to New Zealand:


Picture Perfect


The background papers in 49andMarket really do a LOT of the work for you! Makes it easy to get some layouts done, especially if you have a lot to do! For this page I took the inspiration from the background paper and used the matching hessian style paper and some yellow hexagon print. I then teamed that up with some doilies that matched the background. 

The various hexagons in this collection are just too cute and I have used then on both corners of my photo with some flowers - a mix of the Die Cut Elements and the Laser Cut elements. Next a tag with some twine from my stash in a matching yellow and a ticket stub. 


I added some extra flowers from the laser cut elements to the left hand side and fussy cut the remember this from the advertising strip along one of the papers. I finished my layout off with a matching title "Picture Perfect" from the chipboard set. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week
