Happy Halloween with Prima Made of Magic by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
As Halloween approaches I was inspired to create some extra decor and have created this coffin using a wooden store bought coffin, some 2Crafty Chipboard and the super cute and spooky Prima Made of Magic collection:

 👻Happy Halloween 👻

To start I have painted the wooden coffin in black paint then to the front sprayed some glimmer spray.  Next I have painted my 2Crafty Chipboard spider webs in white paint and glued them to the front of the coffin. 

I have used the Prima Made of Magic ephemera and Witching Hour blooms to embellish. 
Next I moved on to the inside. I painted this black aswell. Then I have used the coffin and made a templated to cut out my main papers for the back, then some complimentary papers to do the sides of the coffin 

I fussy cut this little witch from the elements paper in the 12x12 paper pack and then made her stand up by using some scrap paper, to created a 3D effect. 

The ghost on the ladder is from the ephemera pack, I have fussy cut the holes in the ladder so they weren't filled white and mounted the ghost with some cardboard to give him some extra dimension. I added an ephemera framed pic to the side of the coffin, then embellished the top of the bookshelf background with ephemera and flowers. 

On the other side of the coffin I added a fussy cut clock with some flowers and the cute ephemera ghost with spooky stories - both mounted for dimension. On the other side I added a chipboard frame from the Chipboard Stickers set I added some glitter to my older black flowers that I found in my stash and some cobwebs to the corners using the "spider web" you find in dollar stores. 

I fussy cut  the grandfather clock and mounted it in front of the clock that was on the paper as I wanted the 3D effect. To this I added the ephemera broom and pumpkin. Then I added some "spider webs" and the cute ephemera bat.

Wild at Heart with Simple Stories Simply Vintage Sand and Sea collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

A layout using Simple Stories Vintage Sand and Paper, some Carta Bella Flower Shoppe and 2Crafty Chipboard:

Wild at Heart

I love this collection and eventhough technically a beach themed collection this floral paper was my favourite so I have used this and teamed it up with a matching green floral paper which I found in the Carta Bella Flower Shoppe collection. 

I've picked the neutral white, cream flowers out of the Sand and Sea collection and added a doily and twine for texture.  To embellish I have used the Sand Sea cardstock stickers and trimmed some of the words to remove any beachy references and added a smattering of the hearts. 

I've finished the page off with this 2Crafty Chipboard title - Wild at Heart which I have simply painted white. 

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Making Memories Everyday with Uniquely Creative Delighted Curiosities by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back with another layout using Uniquely Creative Delighted Curiosities and
2Crafty Chipboard. 
Making Memories Everyday

The green and blues in this collection is so pretty. I wanted the green tones to match my photo but the blue softens the page. I have used the Garden Relics paper as my base and roughed up the edges and added some torn bits. 
Next I matt my photo with a plainer paper and added some scallops and circles that I fussy cut from the Curiosity Cabinet paper and some shipping tags from the Forgotten Treasures paper. 

I've used the creative cuts pack in the range for all my flowers and butterflies as well as some mini words.

More flowers and butterflies from the creative cuts pack:

and finished off with the lovely Making Memories Everyday title by 2Crafty Chipboard. I have inked this in a mix of blue and green inks to match my paper.

It's Time to Bloom with Uniquely Creative Delightful Curiosities by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have this months Uniquely Creative range, Delighted Curiosities to showcase to you. 
It's Time to Bloom

With its blues and greens this collection is prefect for your outdoors photos, especially this one of my eldest daughter in her blue/green dress. I chose the background woodgrain to match the palm tree in the background and then the floral green paper to match the print in her dress. 

I've matched up these with some cute embellishments from the creative cuts pack - love the little frame which I have used as a base for my mounted flower cluster. I've added some extra flower stems and a super cute butterfly. 
Then it was some fussy cutting from the Curiosity Cabinet paper - the scallop border and the beauty circle.  

I completed my layout with this lovely 2Crafty chipboard title - It's time to Bloom.

Be True to You with Carta Bella Flower Shoppe by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I am creating with the pretty Flower Shoppe from Carta Bella. So girly and cute!
Be True to You

Oh I love this bow paper!! I wanted it to feature on my page so I used this large square design and matted it with a light blue background. I then added a full length strip of pink paper in a  neutral pattern so my embellishments and title would pop!

I've used the sticker sheet from this collection to embellish with flowers and bows. Then I made a little tag cluster on the top corner to break up some of the white space. 

More stickers - more flowers, bows and some butterflies too!
I love this big title by 2Crafty and it really pops in the darker blue on my page!!

Sunflowers with Uniquely Creative Sweet as Honey by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have created a layout using Uniquely Creatives July release Sweet as Honey collection. 
🌻 Sunflowers 🌻

For this page I chose the Sunny days paper with its large patterned sunflowers on the paper then used the reverse side to add a pop of yellow to the top corner and to matte around my photos before adding a neutral paper behind that. I used the tags paper and cut them in to shipping tags to add to the side of my layout. 

Next some 2Carfty chipboard Grid Panel which I have split in to sections then inked in green and gold to add some dimension before adding lots of the vellum embellishments of flowers and bees to my page. Love how these peel and stick.

Life's Good with Simple Stories Rustic Legend by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This weeks layout is created with Simple Stories Rustic Legend and some fab 2Crafty chipboard:
Life's Good 

For this layout I have added some background stars and numbers in grey and black to add some detail to the plain ledger paper I've chosen for my background. I have added some colour with the 2Crafty Chipboard Grid Panel in dark teal. I have cut this in to separate pieces to add to each side of my layout. 

I've repeated the patten with masking and chipboard on this side of the layout too. Then I set about adding paper layers in a vertical design, and a film strip from 49 and Market.  I have then fussy cut the tape from the elements paper and a tag from the Tag Elements sheet and added some ephemera from the Page Pieces set. 

I've then added 2Crafty Chipboard Life's Good as a title, inked in a grey blue then some glossy accents over the top for some dimension.

Queen of Selfieswith Arden Creative Been Thereby 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!

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.
