Joy in the Journey
with Arden Creative Studio Been There
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Another holiday layout this week, road trip themed, using Arden Creative Been There collection:

Joy in the Journey



For this layout I wanted to capture the earthy colours of the open road and tie in some blue skies as well so I teamed up the earthy road map paper with a plainer background with a hint of blue from the Paper Pad. I added a strip of blue across the top for sky and matted my top photo in the same blue paper. Some torn yellow stripe paper to tie the page together.




I've used a mix of elements from the back section of the Been There Paper pad and the Been There laser cuts to add my elements across my layout:




My title Joy in the Journey is also from the Been There Paper Pad




Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Celebrate The Good Times
49 & Market Glimmer and Glee
Kellie Moore

Hi Everyone!

Its Kel here today sharing a page I made with the 49 & Market Glimmer and Glee collection. These photos are from my twin boys 3rd birthday, I love reflecting on this time and remembering their cute little faces and how exciting this time was.


I have used one of the patterned papers for my background, its such a fun paper with cupcakes printed on the bottom and a mixed media look which gives lots of texture.


I wanted to overlay my photos at an angle to create a diagonal design so I layered a piece of patterned paper with a scallop die cut underneath my photos to ground them to the page. 

Next I layered a bunch of the ephemera pieces, chipboard, laser cuts and rub ons all around the page to embellish... I think the teddy holding the balloons is my favourite piece.


For my title I used a piece from the chipboard pack.


To finish I added some gold splatters.


I hope I have inspired you today and are enjoying your own scrappy time.
See you next time
Kel

Queen of Selfies
with Arden Creative Been There
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I have kind of a fun one, my Mum sent me this photo she took of me
 taking a selfie while at a lookout in New Zealand.
 I have created the page using the travel collection Been There by Arden Creative:

Queen of Selfies


I've used the paper pack papers for my base and layers, adding some torn
edges for texture before adding a 49 and Market film strip alongside the edge
 and a tag from the Simple Stories Rustic Legend papers, with a twine bow. 


The great thing about these newer Arden Creative Kits is that they come with
 some fab diecuts sheets at the back of the paper pad making it easy to
 embellish your page.

  I've used one of the mine titles here - Selfie Stop. I also wanted to add
 some flower so found an old Cocoa Vanilla paper and fussy cut some flowers
 to match my paper. 



The tab and compass are both from the paper pack and then I have added
 another fussy cut flower before finishing off my page with the perfect title
 for this photo - Queen of Selfies!



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Lovely with Arden Creative Field Notes by Fiona Siegel

Hello


This week I'm sharing another page with the beautiful Arden Creative Field Notes - this is most definitely one of my favourite collections for this year.

Lovely


I've chosen one of the pretty background papers for this layout and added a white border with some cardstock. Next I have matted my photo before creating a little scene with a window and fence piece from the laser cuts pack. 


Flowers and butterflies adorn the layout which are also from the laser cuts sheet. 



and then I finished with a Cocoa Vanilla Studio title and a Uniquely Creative button from my stash to complete the page. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

So Very Sweet
Simple Stories Lavender Fields
Kellie Moore

Hi Scrappy Friends!
It's Kel here today sharing another layout using the Simple Stories Lavender Fields collection.
For todays page I decided on a grid design. Dividing the age into 4 segments, 2 places hold photos, one holds the title and the last one I made an embellishment cluster...have a look.


For my title I used one of the foam stickers. To help it pop on the page I cut a circle out
of one of the black papers...this helps it to stand out.


On the top right hard, I used one of the large die cuts, it makes a statement on its own,
 I just added some gauze behind it for some texture.


For the two photos I just added some offset paper layers to add interest and added some
stickers and die cuts.

  

To finish the page I added some rub ons from 49 and Market.


I hope you are inspired today and are enjoying some of your own scrappy time.
See you next time

Kel
