Playtime with 49andMarket Toddler Time by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

I have another share with the fabulous Toddler Time collection by 49andMarket today using a multiphoto design to capture - 

Playtime


For this design I have used a cute scene paper of kids playing before layering up my photos onto some patterned paper and then fussy cutting the tags from another paper in the pack, added some holes and twine,  and tucking them behind my photos with some 49and Market Essential filmstrips. 



Next I have hit the Lasercut elements pack and Chipboard pack to embellish my layout:


A close up of the cute kids playing on the background paper - I have added the journaling fussy cut from one of the papers:



The chipboard title playtime across my photos to tie them all together 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

49 & Market Toddler Time
Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone,

It's Kel here today sharing a layout using the new collection from  49 & Market called Toddler Time.
 I really love the colours in this collection.
 The blues yellows and coral colours are really striking.
 Here is my page..


I started my page using two papers to create a vertical strip down the right side of my page to house my photo. I layered my photo with one paper and a piece from the ephemera pack. Before glueing my photo down I added some white gauze for texture.

Next I used some 'Pretty Dandelions' from 2Crafty which I heat embossed with some rose gold powder...they look so pretty! I placed 3 of these around my page, popping them from under my photo.


To the bottom left of my page I used a piece from the laser elements.
 I used the frame to add a quote I found on the internet.

I have added some more laser pieces to the top of my page to add more fun..



Before adding my title I used some of the rub ons ..these are probably my favourite embellishment!


I also added some hand stitching to finish off my page..



I hope you enjoyed my page, I love how it turned it out.
Stay Scrappy Everyone!

Smiles with 49&Market Toddler Time by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week with a new collection - the delightful Toddler Time by 49&Market, arriving just in time after a visit to see my sisters grandkids. 

Smiles


For this layout I started with the gorgeous background with kids playing and then matted it to the blue check paper before using the same check paper to matte my photo as well as one of the bookish papers. 


Next a mix of cute embellishments from the Toddler Time range, the chipboard set and the laser cut elements. 


The chipboard set has a mix of title and embellishments that compliment the papers perfectly. 

I finished by adding a chipboard title from the pack and some journaling by fussy cutting the words from one of the journalling 3x4 papers, then adding a few extra white paint splashes 


Thanks for stopping by
till next week

Cute
with Echo Park Little Builder
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Back with another share using Echo Park Little Builder and 2Crafty chipboard:
Cute


For this layout I started with some white cardstock and some Distress Oxide ink and used the plastic technique to add some splotches to my page then a paintbrush for some splatters. Next I took my 2Crafty Grid panel, cut it up then inked in black ink to make it pop. 

I matt my white cardstock with the reverse of the Echo Park Little Builder Trucks paper, then I have taken several of the  patterned papers and layered them up behind my photo, then added a torn strip along the length of my page. 


Next I have fussy cut some labels from the 4x4 journaling cards and added some Vicki Boutin chipboard hearts to my page. 


I've inked the 2Crafty title Cute in Distress Oxide Rusty Hinge and used an arrow from the VB chipboard shapes. Some journalling words and a flair button from my stash before finishing off with some enamel hearts. 



Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Joy
Simple Stories Holly Jolly
Kel Moore

Hey Everyone, it's Kel back with my first page of 2025!
 I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable festive break.

I'm sharing another page today using the Simple Stories Vintage Holly Jolly collection.
 I love the traditional colours in this Xmas range and the icons are so fun.

 Here is my page...

JOY




I started my page cutting out a large element from the 6x8 paper pad. The whole piece
down the left side of my page is one paper. It makes the page look like a whole lot of work
 and layering when really it only took me a few minutes to cut it out.



Next I offset my two photos to the right side of the page. Above my photos I have added
 a tag and an ephemera piece..



Under my photo I have added the word 'Joy' popped up on foam, then the extra pieces are
 from the foam stickers..


To the right of my photos, I have cut out one of the tags and added a fussy cut Santa..



I hope you are inspired and you have been documenting your holiday memories..

Thanks for stopping by..

This is My Happy Face
with Echo Park Little Builder
by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Happy 2025!
 I am back from a short break with my first layout for 2025, featuring Echo Park Little Builder:

This is My Happy Face!


For this layout I knew the title I wanted for this page, so I started with my paper design using Echo Park Little builder papers and then added the 3x4 journaling piece. Next I have cut one of the other 3x4 pieces into single journaling strips to add some more context to the title as it doesn't quite match my photo! 

A cute VB chipboard star with a flair button from my stash over the top. 


I've used a black pen to outline the journaling piece and my white cardstock. Next I have embellished with lots of stars - I have used Vicki Boutin Chipboard Stars along with some cute button stars from my stash and the Doodlebug enamel stars. Some journaling stickers over a chipboard tab finished off with an enamel star. 




My title: This is my Happy Face I have inked in Distress Oxide inks - Tumbled Glass to match the lighter blue paper. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Weekend Fun
Echo Park Little Builder
Kellie Moore

Hello Everyone!

It's Kel back today sharing another page using the Echo Park Collection called Little Builder.
I also paired this collection with some 2Crafty chipboard.
 
Have a look..



I started my page using 3 of the papers to create large strips running vertically on the page and before sticking my papers down I used a texture stamp to add some black ink around the papers.

I used some 2Crafty chipboard called 'Number Panels'. I painted these then added them to each side of the photo.


I then added some of the die cuts from the collection to each side of my photos to create balance to the page..


My title was made using some pieces from my stash..


And because I love this collection so much I have a bonus page to share..


I hope you have found some inspiration today and I will be back soon.
Take Care
Kel

Fave Four for 2024 by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Here are my Fave Four for 2024!!



These are my favourites from the last twelve months! In no particular order:

Heart this 💖


I love the colours in this, very dramatic but soft with the flowers and butterflies.
Also 49 & Market had so many awesome collections this year. 


Beep Beep Vroom Vroom 


This one was fun, loved using the chippy to document my daughter getting
 her P's and the cute twist on "traditional" boy paper. 

Roll Up


Fussy cutting!!
This paper was perfect with its' carnival vibes and well worth the effort to fussy cut.
Mintay crated the prettiest of papers!

Together


Some fussy cutting, gorgeous colours and the very cool larger size embellishments
 in VB collections make this a fave.
Vicki Boutin papers are always so perfect!


Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year!!

December Details with
Vicki Boutin Wrapped in Ribbons
by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

A final Christmas layout for the year, this time using Vicki Boutin Wrapped in Ribbons

December Details



I was feeling the circle vibe with this paper - (#4) and fussy cut lots of circles to cluster around my photo - I have added some foam tape to some of the circles to give extra dimension. 

My background papers chosen to match the hot air balloon in red and the black background makes the page pop!



I've used a ribbon from the Vicki Boutin Ephemera pack - using the reversed silver side to match the silver on the hot air balloon. Next I added some glittery silver stars from an old Heidi Swapp alpha pack then finished off with my title December Details. 


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week
