Make it Merry with Simple Stories All Wrapped Up by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Today I have another Christmas layout, created with Simple Stories All Wrapped Up.
The last Christmas share for now. 
Make it Merry 

A fun Christmas photo I have used some busy patterns from Simple Stores All Wrapped Up collection and kept my background as a clean white cardstock. After layering my papers I have embellished with both the Bits and Pieces and the Sentiment Bits. 
A large bauble in the corner to match the bauble focus in my photos :)

I've made a cluster with some trees from the Bits and Pieces range and some journaling from the Sentiment bits.

Loving the large titles in the Sentiment bits - I have used some mounting tape and a more neutral paper so my title stands out. Then I finished the layout with a smattering of stars.

Wonder 49 & Market Whispering Way Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone!

It's Kel here today sharing my first page for 2026.
 I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break and maybe some fun scrappy time!

Today I'm using the new collection from 49 & Market called Whispering Way.
 This collection has a farm/country vibe with animals, flowers and plants.

I decided to document these photos from a few years back when we visited Paradise Country on the Gold Coast. My boys really enjoyed interacting with the animals.

 Here is my page...

Here are the close ups

I have used a paper from the 12 x 12 pack that already had a design on it and added everything on top. This makes your pages look like you have done a lot more to it than you really have! 

I decided to use circles as a design element so have used a large laser cut rope piece for my main photo in the middle of the page, then chose two chipboard circles for the top and bottom photos. The main photo is popped up using foam tape to add dimension and allowed me to tuck embellies around it.

I then went through the chipboard, laser cuts, rub ons and fabric tape to embellish my page.

The title 'Wonder' comes from the chipboard pack.

I love this page, and I hope you do too!

 Check out Whispering Way in the shop, links will be below.

See you next time!

Christmas Memories with Graphic 45 Deck the Halls by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back playing catch up with some Christmas layouts from last month. This week I have used more of my Graphic 45 Deck the Halls collection:
Christmas Memories

My base woodgrain paper is from an older 3Quarter Designs pack but there are similar here. I have then added some paper layers from the Graphic 45 Deck the Halls collection pack. I have then added some ephemera from the Deck the Halls collection  - my favourite is this large nutcracker 

I've used a Prima flower set of poinsettias around my page and added some journalling words from the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Sentiment Bits

I've finished off my page with some Gold Letters from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.

Owakudani with Ciao Bella Land of the Rising Sun by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone 

Happy New Year!
I'm kicking off the New Year with a travel page using Ciao Bella Land of the Rising Sun:
Owakudani

For this layout I have used the 12x12 Land of the Rising Sun paper pack 8 pack as well as the 12 pack of papers - they do vary slightly. I have chosen a neutral background for my base paper and teamed it up with the black to match my photo and some pops of red and gold. 

I have used one of the Plain Easter Eggs from the 2Crafty range, inking it in black and then adding white paint splotches to match the black egg in my photo. I have further embellished my layout with a stamp cutout from the patterned paper and some red paper flowers by 49and Market. 

My title is created with some Thickers from my stash - choosing gold to co-ordinate with the floral paper. I then finished off with some journaling printed on to some smooth white cardstock then inked in black.
