A Day at the Zoo with Bella Blvd Zoo Day by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back with another zoo page to share with you all using the fun and super cute Zoo Day collection by Bella Blvd:
A Day at the Zoo

For this layout I wanted to use all the fun scallops on the sticker sheet as part of my design, so I started with some white cardstock then matted my photo in green to match my top and then some zoo patterned paper before adding all the scallops. I added the check print border to the white cardstock to tie it together. 

I love these super cute animal embellishments and made a cute little scene on either side of the photo, then added some "zoo" words from the sticker sheet. 

Then I finished off the page with these fabulous puffy alpha stickers by Bella Blvd - so many fun colours in these, I chose the yellow to match the Zoo sign.

Back to the 80s with Simple Stories Totally 80s Collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Todays layout features a fun and funky 80s theme using Simple Stories Totally 80s collection:
Back to the 80s

Back in May I went to a scrapbooking retreat with some scrapping friends and the theme was 80s! Lots of fun ! This new Simple Stories collection was perfect to document it. I love the bright and retro colours.  I've matted my white cardstock in a hot pink paper from Simple Stories Color Me Happy and Bella Blvd Gingham and Stripes paper. 

Is it even an 80s collection if there is no rollerskate? Super cute stickers are a part of this range - not just skates but some retro and neon shapes as well as some well known 80s phrases.

I've used some cute puffy stickers from an older VB collection to add some dimension. I finished off with a shipping tag fussy cut from the paper with Back to the 80s - then added some hot pink twine to finish it off as my title.

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. 

I finished my layout off with my title Sunflowers in black alphas by Bella Blvd. Then I added some word stickers from my stash and the Here and Now button from an older Uniquely Creative range.

Strawberry Delights with Doodlebug Berry Sweet by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
A fun one today with Doodlebug Sweet Berry Collection, documenting some of the strawberry foods I had over in Japan!
Strawberry Delights

For this layout I started with my papers that featured strawberries, then picked some to coordinate and grabbed the sticker sheet too! I went with a white background and added some pink hearts - to show my love of all things strawberry. A light stenciling and a few sploshes before layering up the papers. 

After the papers I have used a bunch of the cardstock stickers to embellish, adding some Green Tara flowers too. Love how cute the Doodlebug phrases and embellishments are!

Then I added a title, using a lovely bright green to pop off the page and a lighter pink to compliment the layout.

The Best ReindeerBella Blvd Merry and Brightand Doodlebug Tinsel Timeby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Continuing with the Christmas inspiration for this month, I have used more Bella Blvd Merry Mingle and the Doodlebug Tinsel Time die-cuts to create:
The Best Reindeer

Love this photo of my pooch Harry in his antlers and festive bow tie in front of the Christmas Tree last year - the antlers don't stay on long!! 
I've used some of the bright and fun papers from the Bella Blvd Merry and Bright collection in my design, taking my colour inspiration from the Christmas tree and pop of black for Harrys features. I've again used a pink doily to tie in with my page. 

Next some of the super cute Doodlebug Tinsel Time embellishments - these are just so perfect and I have created a little scene with a tree, sleigh and reindeer. Next some alphas - the gold CVS Deck the Halls Puffy Gold Stickers are so beautiful and really pop on the black! I have then used single alphas to add "Reindeer" in a pretty red glitter from my stash.

Calling Santa with Doodlebug Tinsel Time and Bella Blvd Merry Mingle by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Another Christmas layout to share today using Doodlebug Tinsel Time and Bella Blvd Merry Mingle
Calling Santa

I've used a mix of papers from both collections - they are quite similar in colours and go well together! Then to embellish I have used the Doodlebug Tinsel Time Odds and Ends Die-cuts - there are so many diecuts in this pack they are great value!
I found a cute doily in my stash that teamed up perfectly with both the paper and my very pink photo from The Grounds Sugarplum themed alleyway. To this I have added some die-cuts. 

I've used the die cuts to make a cute little string of lights, alternating having them on foam tape and flat on the page for some dimesion and then adding some twine to keep them together

To the other side of my page I have added some more cute die-cuts and then added my title using some old stickers from my stash and then some Bella Blvd Puffy Stickers .

Todays moments using Bella Blvd School is Cool by Kerryn Fry

Hello crafters!Happy New Year from me!
My first page for the year has been createdwith the collection, Bella Blvd School is Cool.The papers were picked for their colours, not the theme, they match the photo perfectly.
The photo of Mr H, at nearly 5 years oldand his cousin Nicole hanging in the then sandpit, now our veggie garden. 

The base of the page is my absolute 

favourite, Bazzill Kraft Cardstock.

The background effect has been created

with the Simple Stories Arrow Stencil

and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Ink.

It pops the small amount of orange

in the photo and patterned papers.

Across the top of the page I have added 

a strip of Simple Stories Say Cheese at the Park

Meet Me on Main, a thin strip of Daily Details

and a scalloped sticker from the Cardstock sheet. 

The sun and clouds have been hand cut from

the Daily Details paper and the sticker is

from Cocoa Vanilla Sunkissed Accessory Stickers

I've used foam tape to lift each piece.

The 2 Crafty Stars Pack was used to embellish 

the page and to create a journal spot.

The chipboard stars have been covered with

patterned paper and the extra stars are patterned paper.

The black chipboard dots on the page are 

the dot centres from the 2 Crafty Photo Corners.

They have been covered with black ink

and lifted with foam tape.

The 2 Crafty Mini Camera has been covered

with Spiced Marmalade Distress Paint.

After drying, I have then covered it with 

Spiced Marmalade Oxide Ink and hit it with a heat gun.

The final layer is Dimensional Magic

which had a great reaction with the Oxide.

Love the marbled finish.

The photo has been matted with Bazzill Raven Cardstock,

with patterned papers layers added underneath.

I have raised the photo and first two paper

layers with foam tape to create extra layers. 

I've used a black pen to add borders to some 

of the paper pieces and stars.

To the left of the photo I have added 

two more stars and words from both 

the DooHickey Cardstock Stickers

and Cocoa Vanilla Accessory Stickers.

The title for the page has been created

from the 2 Crafty Phrase Stick Set 5.

Using 'todays moments, tomorrows memories'.

The chipboard has been swiped with black ink,

layering the colour without colouring the words.

I have cut the phrase into two pieces and

then added them to the page with foam tape.

The finishing touches are the small hearts

from the DooHickey Sticker sheet. 

Thanks for visiting the blog today.I hope you have been inspired to spend some time crafting over the weekend.Please join us again on Monday for Fiona's next project.
