Cousinswith Simple Stories Take Noteby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I've been creating with the pretty Simple Stories collection Take Note:
Cousins

For this layout I teamed florals up with some black, adding some paper layers down my page and adding some pinks and blues. Then I have added this striking large camera with flowers that I have fussy cut from the 4x6 elements paper to use as a focal embellishment. I added the Little momets journaling circle to the the centre of the camera with some mounting tape and separately added the Big Smiles words from the element sheet. 

I then added some complimentary flowers to the top right corner of my photo and a tab along the top. 

I've used some old thickers from my stash for my title Cousins and then added some Cocoa Vanilla Sticker journaling to finish my layout off. 

Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Special Moments Simple Stories Junk Drawer Kellie Moore

Hi Everyone

It's Kel here today sharing another page with the Simple Stories Junk Drawer collection.

 I'm really enjoying documenting some of my family history and this collection is perfect! 

This is a photo of my grandfather when he was a little boy with his parents and siblings. I printed the photo large which isn't something I do often, but I do love how it stands out on the page.

Here it is...

I started with using a woodgrain paper from my stash as the background. I wanted
 something  neutral but not white and this was perfect.

I started by using two of the patterned papers from the collection to add a horizontal base
for my photo to sit on.

I then created 3 embellishment clusters around my photo, using pieces from the
die cut packs, foam stickers, cardstock stickers and brads. Before I added the
 embellishments I used some gold paste through a stencil to add more detail to the background. 

For my title I used some gold puffy stickers and the 'moments' piece is from the collection.

Thanks for stopping by the blog, I hope you enjoyed my page today.

See you next time

I

A cute collection of cake , presents and blower to celebrate the occasion. Then a long the top of the page the cutest banner!

These puffy stickers by Bella Blvd come in an array of colours so I was able to match them for the perfect Happy Birthday title.

Beautifulwith Mintay Lady's Secretby Fiona Siegel

Hello
How pretty is this collection by Mintay? It's called Lady's Secret and I just adore this pink and green colour combo. 
Beautiful 

This large mirror patterned paper really drew me in and chose it as my background, but matted it on to the cool quilted green paper, after roughing up the edges. I then tucked a few cute flowers from the Die-Cuts to add some details. 

My photo I have matted with some complimentary papers - a floral mix of pink, white and green and then the pink neutral. I then lined my photo up to fit within the mirror, like a frame. My next step to embellish and I have used the beautiful die-cuts from the collection and added some flowers, a polaroid, a fan and some cute butterflies!
I finished my layout off with the Paper words stickers for my title and some journaling!

Girl Gang Simple Stories Junk Drawer Kellie Moore

Hey Everyone!

It's Kel here today sharing a page with the Simple Stories Junk Drawer collection.

 I really like this collection for its versatility. It has a vintage vibe but I also think it could
 be used for current photos. 

The icons are so pretty with the florals and butterflies.

Today I'm documenting a page of my grandmother with her sisters and extended family.
 I have recently been exploring my family tree, wanting to document some of my heritage.

Here is my page

I have started by using two of the patterned papers to make vertical strips on the left side
 of my page, then creating lots of layers under my photo which helps create balance horizontally.

 I have 3 embellishment clusters on my page, made using lots of the embellishments from
the collection. The diecuts, stickers, brads. I also stenciled some hearts on my background.

For my title I used some alphabet stickers from Vicki Boutin from the 'Curiosities in
 Willow Grove' collection.

I hope you have enjoyed my page and have found some inspiration today. 

See you soon 

Kel

Wonderful with 49andMarket Echoes of Time by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Another page to share this week with the beautiful Echoes of Time paper range
 by 49 and Market:
Wonderful 

On this layout I have placed my photo onto the plainer section of the paper - don't want to detract from the beautiful design. I've matted my photo it the purple stripe paper but then added a matt of black cardstock to make it pop then made a rough scallop edge with the advertising strip for some contrast. 

I've embellished my layout using the stunning florals from the Laser Cut outs Wildflowers and added the stunning butterfly also from the same. 

Again I have used a Vicki Boutin title and the black phrases from the Prima Aquarelle dreams chipboard to complete my page.

This Lifewith 49 and Market Echoes of Timeby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have been creating with the beautiful Echoes of Time collection
 by 49 and Market
This Life

Love this cute framed paper . I decided to cut out the centre to frame my photo. I added some cardstock behind the paper to make the purple pop and some doily bits to soften the page and match the frame. 

Next I have used the beautiful Wildflowers cut outs from the collection to add some more flower clusters , butterflies and cogs. For the journaling I went to my stash and used some Prima journaling stickers. 

To complete my layout I wanted a title that popped so went looking for something in a dark font. These Vicki Boutin alphas were perfect, the black to stand out but the font is soft to match the page.

Lil Champ Uniquely Creative Written In The Stars Kellie Moore

Hey Scrappy People! 

It's Kel here today sharing a page using the Uniquely Creative Written In The Stars collection.

When I first saw this collection I immediately loved it as stars are one of my
favourite shapes to use in scrapbooking.

 Here is my page.

I have 3 photos... one is 4 x 6 and the other two are 3x4. I have used my 4x6 to the top
left of my page and the 2 smaller photos to the bottom right.

For all of my photos I have layered up a bunch of the patterned papers, including some
of the solid papers. I have also used some 2Crafty film strips which I painted black.

For my title I used a die cut and some of the chipboard alphas.

My background is mainly using some stars cut from the patterned paper and some
2Crafty chipboard stars.

I hope you are inspired today and your fitting creative time in to your days.

See you next time..

Kel

Happy Birthdaywith Uniquely Creative Written in the Starsby Fiona Siegel

Hello
This week I have created with the super fun Uniquely Creative collection - Written in the Stars collection. Just love this range, nice to see something a bit different from their usual pastel florals. 
Happy Birthday 

As soon as I saw this collection I knew I wanted to create a layout with lots of the stars from the Creative Cuts pack. I love how it also has come florals too a perfect combo.  I decided to used the plain words background as a base but add some matting behind for extra colour. I really like the black check to make the layout pop and added a thinner matte of yellow as well. 
Next I did used the plastic bag technique and Distress Oxide inks to add some yellow to my background then used a darker yellow to add some splotches. 

Then on to the fun part of teaming up some stars and florals to make a spread of stars across my page with my photo centred between. I've then added some of the flowers to the mix. 

A cute cluster at the bottom of the page - stars, flowers and a journaling quote

I've used the Creative Cuts for my title as well and added some more flowers and cute shooting star underneath. Then I have finished it off with one of the chipboard stickers.

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.
