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!

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.

Good Times with 49 and Market Artful Moments by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I'm back with some 49 and Market Artful Moments collection to document a photo I have had ready to scrap for a while!
Good Times

When I saw this background paper in the Artful Moments Paper Pad,  I knew it was the right range for this adorable photo of my great niece doing some finger painting.  I fussy cut the cute crayons from one of the papers - and I still have butterflies that I have fussy cut to add to my pages!!

I've then combined some embellishments from the Journaling Bits set and the Laser Cut elements to continue my arty theme - colour wheels, paintbrushes etc. 

I ended up going through my stash for the title and came up with this one which is from am old Cocoa Vanilla collection - Good times!

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

I've the fussy cut the tag here and added a Cocoa Vanilla Studio sticker. Then used a few of the stickers from the Echo Park Summer Break Sticker Sheet. 

I also used the sticker sheet for my title Summer Break and finished off with some extra words with the Cocoa Vanilla Studio stickers.

Live in the Moment with 49andMarket Botanical Buzz by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back with another 49andMarket Botanical Blooms share. Love, love this collection!
Live in the Moment

For this layout I wanted flowers to match the photo and to bring in the yellow. I have used one of the more neutral backgrounds and then added some paper matting around my photo, then used the fencing piece to create interest and add my embellishments around.

I've used more of the adorable honeycomb pieces to add layers and then added flowers and cute embellishments like the watering can  from the laser cut elements and diecut elements. 

A super cute flower box to match the one on the paper (left hand side) and a base to layer my title Live in the Moment from the chipboard set. I finished off with some journaling from CVS Bloom and Grow collection stickers

Good Vibeswith Simple StoriesVintage Flower Shoppe by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back with another layout using the beautiful Simple Stories
Vintage Flower Shoppe collection:
Good Vibes

For this layout I chose to focus on the pinks and florals from the collection.
 I teamed  this up by using a Vicki Boutin Stencil and Foundations Paper to
 create my background with pink - Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks. 

You can see a close up of the distress ink flowers, then I have added a mix of fussy cut and ephemera butterflies to the top of the page with a smattering of decorative brads. 

Some tabs and flowers from the bits and pieces ephemera teamed up with decorative brads. 
A gorgeous large floral basket embellishment from the bits and pieces ephemera pack,  alongside my foam stickers title before finishing off with some Cocoa Vanilla Studio word stickers.

Cutewith Echo Park Little Builderby 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.

This is My Happy Facewith Echo Park Little Builderby 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.
