18
using Simple Stories Rustic Legend
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I've got a rare "boy" page to share, using Simple Stories Rustic Legend to document my nephews 18th Birthday:

18


I love the woodgrain background paper and this already has stars stamped on to it, so I continued that theme when embellishing. But first I wanted to grunge it up a little bit, so I tore my paper edges and used a black cardstock background. Then I added a torn piece of the check paper before adding some other paper strips which I grunged up a little too



I stuck with the stars to embellish my page and there were plenty to be found on the Icon Sticker Sheet. I made clusters for both the top left and bottom right corners of the layout. Next I added this large camera and the journaling freeze the moment. I added a shipping tag and then finished with some woodgrain alphas to make my title 18. 


Thanks for stopping by
 till next week

Wonderful with Carta Bella Silly Goose and 2Crafty Chipboard by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I have created a layout using the adorable Silly Goose collection by Carta Bella. 

Wonderful


Isn't this collection so cute? Love it. For this page I have used white cardstock and an older Vicki Boutin stencil to mask some flowers in light green ink and mounted by cardstock on to green patterned paper. 

Next I have used the super adorable goose paper as a feature paper across my page, adding a torn bottom edge for texture. I have matted my photo with the contrasting red and added some small banners to tie the papers together. Then I have fussy cut some of the journaling shapes from the Journaling Cards paper to embellish.



I love these 2Crafty handdrawn hearts, I've simply inked this one and tucked it under my photo. I then added some fabulous white wildflowers by Prima and some cute 49 and market enamel dots with words. 



I completed my layout with a simple one word title Wonderful. 


Thanks for stopping by 
Till next week

Enjoy The Moment
Simple Stories Lavender Fields
Kellie Moore

Hello Everyone..
It's Kel here today sharing a page I made with the Simple Stories Lavender Fields collection. 
This range is so pretty with purple and golden tones, lots of florals and sweet icons.
I am documenting a single photo of my niece and her mumma.
 Have a look.


I started by cutting some hexagons and laying with them across the page, adding some
 hand stitching to them. I love the texture stitching adds.


I have added some paper layers behind my photo, and used a die cut piece for my title.


I have added some fussy cut and die cut florals to the top left and bottom right of
my page, along with some die cuts and foam stickers.

Happy Birthday with 49 and Market It's your Day by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back today with another layout using the 49 and Market All-in-One kit - It's Your Day. 
I love that everything you need is all in the one pack!

Happy Birthday!


For this layout I chose this fun sunburst patterned paper and then matted it on to one of the plain yellow papers - I then matted my photo with the same yellow then added some pink stripey strips and a star banner. 


I've embellished my layout with some of the fun balloons from the cut out sheets in the kit as well as some tabs, tags, party hats, presents and journaling spots. 



The title is also from the journaling sheets. To finish off my layout I have used the stars and mounted some with foam tape to add some dimension to my layout and a little extra to the starburst design:

Beauty
with Arden Creative Field Notes
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This collection by Arden Creative is most definitely one of my favourites!
I've got a few more layouts to share with Field Notes, starting with this one of
 my eldest daughter:

Beauty  


I started with the background paper which has a a lovely leafy edging. I then added several layers behind my photo, using a torn gingham green matting at the back to tie in with the background paper and her top.  I then added some of the gingham print to the top and bottom of the background paper. 


I framed my photo with some gorgeous floral stems from the laser cut pack then added a several of the butterflies from the pack too. 


My journaling is fussy cut from one of the journaling paper pieces in the paper pad. I love this 2Crafty title Beauty - I've inked with Distress Oxide ink then added some stickles glitter. I finished off with a cute button from an old Uniquely Creative collection. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Good Times
with 49 and Market Artful Moments
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone


This week I'm back with some 49 and Market Artful Moments collection to document a photo I have had ready to scrap for a while!

Good Times


When I saw this background paper in the Artful Moments Paper Pad,  I knew it was the right range for this adorable photo of my great niece doing some finger painting.  I fussy cut the cute crayons from one of the papers - and I still have butterflies that I have fussy cut to add to my pages!!



I've then combined some embellishments from the Journaling Bits set and the Laser Cut elements to continue my arty theme - colour wheels, paintbrushes etc. 



I ended up going through my stash for the title and came up with this one which is from am old Cocoa Vanilla collection - Good times!



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week
