Cherish this Moment
with 49 and Market Botanical Buzz
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I have created a page using 49and Market Botanical Buzz:

Cherish this Moment




The hexagons sold me on the Ephemera pack in this collection and I finally had the perfect photos of my girls to be able to create a design with them. 




I have chosen a neutral background then laid out my hexagons to create the design, then matted it with a woodgrain paper. I've used some of the patterned papers in the larger hexagons, added photos to three and then left 2 smaller ones empty. 




I've used the bee houses from the die-cut elements pack as larger embellishments and then some of the smaller honeycomb pieces and sweet daisies in the laser cut element set. 




I've completed my layout with my title coming from the chipboard word set - "Cherish this Moment"



Thanks for stopping by 
Till next week

Exploring The Great Outdoors
49 & Market Curiosities In Willow Grove
Kellie Moore

Welcome to the blog today!

It's Kel here today sharing my 3rd page with the 49 & Market 
Curiosities In Willow Grove collection.

I'm documenting a photo of my gorgeous boy Sarge playing with his ball in our yard.

Here it is...


I decided for my page to focus on the blues and greens in the collection as my photo had a lot of green. To start my page I chose a paper from the 12 x 12 paper pad that had the large circles. I cut the circles out, distressing the edges, laying them down the left side of my page (I added some watercolour down first.)


I mounted my photo with some different papers from the collection, adding a laser cut border to the left side of the photo. I also added some die cuts to the top left of my photo.



My main embellishing is on the right side of my photo. I chose lots of the outdoorsy pieces from the different embellishments, mushrooms, foliage butterflies and rub ons. I needed to ground these elements so I added some gauze and patterned paper underneath them. 


For my title I used the rub ons from the 'Blendable' pack.


I hope you enjoyed my page and found some inspiration today.
 I am LOVING this collection!

See you next time!
Kel

Beautiful
with 49 and Market Curiosities
in Willow Grove
by Fiona Siegel

Hello

Another layout created with the stunning 49 and Market Curiosities in Willow Grove collection:

Beautiful 


I love this floral background paper, so stunning! I have teamed it up with the magnifying glass paper which I have fussy cut around the circle and cut the handle off to give me a fresh neutral semi circle. I have hand cut some scalloped borders to go across my layout and cover the base of the circle. 


I've matted my photo with an ephemera piece and added some cute floral ephemera icons alongside.

The empty space in the circle I have added some cute ephemera banners along across to my photo. 



I finished off my layout with an older Vicki Boutin title, love the flexibility of these and was able to shape it around the top of the circle. 



Thanks for stopping by 
Till next week

Capture the Moments
with 49 and Market
Curiosities in Willow Grove
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I finally got a chance to play with the new 49andMarket Willow Grove collection and created a few layouts to share over the coming weeks. First up:

Capture the Moments




For this page I chose the neutral light green paper as a background for my layout as it matches the outdoors background of my photo. I teamed it up with some of the purple shades to match the top Zara is wearing. Love tearing the paper for that contrast and texture. 


Lots of embellishments as always with this range, and I have chosen the Icons and Titles ephemera, Journaling Bits and Laser Cut outs Foliage.  How cute is the Heart card? I thought it was super sweet! I have then added some of the lighter pink flowers around it plus some tickets in the green and purple colours. 




The cutest mushrooms I couldn't go past, teamed up with a little quote over a journaling piece and a mini heart. 


Finishing off the layout with the Capture the Moments title from the Icons and Tiles ephemera. 



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Delightful
Arden Creative Laurel Grove
Kellie Moore

Hey Scrappy People!

Kel here today sharing a page with the Arden Creative Laurel Grove collection.
 I love the colour palette of this collection.

My page today documents two photos of my son at the duck pond...such a long time
 ago but I love these pictures.


I started my page choosing a paper from the 12 x 12 paper pad that was very neutral
 then added the blue spot paper to the right side, splitting the background in two. 

I wanted my photos in the middle of the page so I used two different papers under
my pics to create a 'shelf' for my photos to sit on.

You can see from my pictures I have used an assortment of embellishments to add 
clusters around my photos... ephemera, rub-ons and laser cuts.



I felt the page needed something at the bottom so I added some of the green paper
creating another little cluster.


For my title I used a die cut from the 'Page Makers' Ephemera pack.


I have loved this collection, I hope you check it out in the shop!

See you soon!
Kel

Getaway with 3 Quarters Magical Vines by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I have documented a recent trip to the Hunter Valley using 3 Quarters Designs Magical Vines collection:

Getaway


I loved the background paper with the rolling hills and vineyards and cute sandstone house. I based my design with keeping the images in focus and used a couple of neutral papers to matt my photo, adding some tearing for some dimension. 

I've fussy cut the wine barrel from the collection for a fun embellishment and used the advertising strip "Life is too short to drink bad wine"




Next I chose this cute vine and berries from 2Carfty chipboard to make my grapevines. I've used sharpies to colour and give leaf detail:


Next a diecut embellishment from the paper pack of the wine bottle and then I fussy cut one of the wine glasses from the off cut strips and mounted it with foam tape. 





I've finished off the layout with my title Getaway using the sharpie in the same purple as my grapes. 




Thanks for stopping by 
till next week
