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 created
with 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 old
and his cousin Nicole hanging in the 
then sandpit, now our veggie garden. 


The base of the page is my absolute 
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 title for the page has been created
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.

Be You using Celebr8 Just Be You by Kerryn Fry

Good morning everyone!
Today I'm sharing another page created with 
the beautiful collection Celebr8 Just Be You.
A rare selfie taken after a short hair cut
in August last year. It's long again now! 


The page has started with a 12x12 piece 
of Bazzill Kraft Cardstock for the base.
I knew I intended to use the wreath hand 
cut from the patterned paper on the page.

The simple background effect has been created 
to appear around the outside edge of the wreath edge.
Using the Crafters Workshop 6x6 Mini Tiny Circles and 
white ink, I have added some light details on the cardstock.

Using a white paint pen, I have added
some splashes across the page as well.


I've hand cut some of the half oranges
to add some extra dimension to the wreath.
Some of the leaves on the wreath have
been outlined with a gold pen.

The quote 'Beauty Begins' is from the barcode strip,
I have cut it into two pieces and cut flags each end.
I've used foam tape to add it to the page.


The large 2 Crafty Anthea's Butterfly frame has been 
covered with black ink and backed with patterned paper.
I have only used adhesive in the centre of the butterfly 
frame and paper, to allow it to have some movement & dimension.

cut into smaller pieces and covered with Mowed Lawn 
& Rustic Wilderness Distress Paint.

been covered with black patterned paper
and the smaller frames have been backed 
with a lighter patterned paper.


I have added a few more hand cut elements
from the collection to the page.
The orange bloom to the left of the photo
and a cluster of oranges to the bottom
of the photo under the butterflies.

have been covered with a combination of 
Mustard See, Fossilized Amber and 
Spiced Marmalade Distress paint.
I've finished the butterflies with a layer of
Dimensional Magic for a shiny finish.

The title is the Be You banner
hand cut form the patterned paper.


Thanks for visiting the blog today.
Hopefully you have been inspired to create.
Enjoy your weekend, do something you love
and join us again on Monday.

We Are Family using Carta Bella Sunflower Market by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone!
Today I've created a page using the collection
The family photos were taken in October 2014 
while we were on holidays in Mount Gambier. 
On this particular day, we went for a drive
down to the beautiful town of Port Macdonnell.


The page has started with a 
The main paper layer across 
the top section of the page
is the reverse side of Baking Bash 
with a little sparkle of Ranger Stickles Glitter glue
added to a small part of the pattern. 


In the top right corner of the page
I have used two frames from the 
Frames & Tags pack to create this small cluster.

The 'Together' is the centre piece of one frame 
and the floral piece has been cut from another frame.
I have outlined the floral piece with a Black gel pen 


The bottom section of the Kraft cardstock
has been coloured with Distress Oxide Ink.
I've used Oxide Ink to sit better & brighter
 on the Kraft cardstock.

I have planned the layout of the papers
and then used a pencil to mark out 
where the papers would finished.
Then using a blending tool, I have added 
Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide
to shadow behind the patterned papers.


I have fussy cut different flowers
from the Sunny paper and used them
to build the cluster across the bottom of the photos.
I have raised most of the flowers
with foam tape to create layers within the cluster.


The 2 Crafty Flowers (Set 1) were covered 
Once dry, I've then added a coat of 
Dimensional Magic to each flower.


I've used some of the hand-cut flowers
to add centres to the 2 Crafty Flowers.
More of the tags from the Frame & Tags Pack
were used for the left side of the photos.


The journal spot is another frame
backed with a scrap of white cardstock.
The 'We are Family' tag forms the title
and has been lifted with foam tape.
Some hand-cut flowers have been used to 
embellish around the journal spot.


Thank you for visiting the AAS Blog today.
I hope you have enjoyed the process of the page,
I love the finished project and 
how well the colours came together.

Have a great weekend,
make some time to relax and craft.
Please join us again on Monday

I've used  gold pen to add 
some extra details to each of the leaves.

The leaves have been layered with 
some hand cut leaves from Favorite Season Paper
and a Chipboard sticker from the 6x12 chipboard sheet.

I've also add some chipboard hearts


The bottom halves of the journal cards
have been used to build the cluster
in the bottom right corner.
