Hi everyone!Today I'm sharing another page thatI have created with the collection,Uniquely Creative Moody Blues.The B&W photos of my Great-Niecewere taken in July 2013 at Glenelg Beach.A beautiful winter stroll duringthe school holidays.

The base of the page is Bazzill Kraft Cardstock.

I've planned the layout and then added

Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink

to specific parts of the cardstock

to highlight the chipboard elements.

The 2 Crafty 6inch Mandela No. 5

has been cut into two pieces, 

each piece has been covered 

with white gesso and then finished 

with Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue.

The chipboard has been layered

on the Distress Ink and then paper elements 

add on the chipboard.

The embellishment cluster on either side

of the photos have been created 

with small paper mandalas that were

hand cut from Periwinkle paper

and elements from the Creative Cuts.

The white areas of the embellishments

have been highlighted with Glitter Glue.

To the right side of the photos I have

cut down a paper Mandala to add 

the triangle pieces down the side of the paper.

The larger Mandala in the bottom right

corner of the page was cut from Moody paper 

and decorated with more hand cut pieces

from the Periwinkle paper and Creative Cuts.

The word 'Hello' and quote are also

from the Creative Cuts pack.

I've used plenty of foam tape to

 lift different elements on the page.

I've used Stickles Glitter Glue to 

highlight different areas of each elements.

The title of the page '#Beauty' is 

from the 2 Crafty Mini Words Set 13

 line using a black gel pen.

cut flowers from the Memories Made paper

I have added words from a 3x4 Journal card

to use as a title for the page,

a hand cut butterfly from Fills My Heart paper 

and small heart stickers from the sticker sheet.

All of these elements have been lifted using foam tape.

To the right top section of the heart

I have added a journal spot from 

the Journal Elements paper,

the word and small butterfly sticker.

The small hand cut flowers are from the 

Made Memories Paper and 

they have been added with foam tape.

more hand cut flowers from Made Memories paper

It's the Simple Things using Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real By Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone!Today I am sharing my second page created with the gorgeous collection, Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real.I have been saving this photo for justthe right papers to suit the beautiful purple jacket.Another lovely photo of my youngest nieceand her very first snow experience last year.

I started with two 12x12 sheets of

Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Foundations Paper.

The first piece was used for the background.

Using the 6x6 Echo Park Paper Snowflake Swirl,

I have stamped the stencil in a puddle of water 

and Dusty Concord Distress Ink 

and then added Spun Sugar Distress Ink 

through the stencil before lifting it.

A great technique from a VB video that I had to try out.

Once the background was dry, I've added

a few random areas of Pickled Raspberry Distress Ink 

with a Vicki Boutin Colour Study Stencil.

I have used a small stamp and gold ink

in the background and Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue.

The second sheet of Foundations Paper

was used to die-cut the snowflakes.

I've used Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord,

Spun Sugar, Pickled Raspberry Distress Inks

with the packaging technique to colour the paper.

Then die-cut multiple sizes of snowflakes.

I have layered the snowflakes with foam tape

and spread them across the page.

The Stickles Glitter Glue added

that extra sparkle to the page.

The rainbow strips on Big Mood paper provided

the layers of colour behind the photo

The hearts and journal card were cut from

the Reality Check paper.

The 2 Crafty Mini Stick That Smile 

was covered with gold ink and

added to the page with foam tape.

The 2 Crafty title It's the Simple Things has

also been covered with gold ink

and then added to the bottom left corner of the photo.

Thank for visiting the blog today.I hope the layout has inspired you to create.Have a fabulous weekendand join us again on Mondayfor Fiona's next project.

Forest Path with Pinkfresh Studio Happy Blooms by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Today I have another layout to share with the gorgeous Pinkfresh Studio Happy Blooms:
Forest Path 

I love this gorgeous green patterned paper - Handkerchief:

But it was a little busy, so I got my craft knife and cut around the border of it to frame my layout. Next I used some distress oxide ink in Rustic Wilderness to create a softer green background, then added some texture with a VB stencil and some opaque texture paste. Then some stamping with distress ink in Mowed Lawn. 

Then it was a few papers layers - utilising the pink in one of the girls jumpers and because pink and green always go well together!

Next was to hit the floral ephemera pack hard! Lots of pretty florals to frame my photo and adding some regular ephemera pack for words and tags, as well as cutting out words from the Happy Place paper to use. I've also used some stickers and embellishments from previous Pinkfresh collections - I find this the easiest way to mix and match ranges. 

And finally the title to finish off - Happy Blooms Puffy Alpha Stickers!

Thanks for stopping byTill next weekFionax
