Happy Birthday with Echo Park Party Animal by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
I have another birthday layout to share this week, again using Echo park party Animal collection:
Happy Birthday

For this layout I went with a fun banner design, using the cute balloon paper as the central focus and teaming it up with the more neutral patterned pink and purple. All on white cardstock, matted with blue which I have also used to matt by photo. 
To add a little extra detail to my banner I have used some twine and glued it across with bows either side to make the banner appear to be hanging. 

Next I have some flowers in a sweet cluster to match my pinks and purples. Also some cute enamel hearts smattered about. 

Then I have used the sticker sheet from the Party Animal Collection to embellish and title my page, then added a few more flowers and hearts to balance out my layout.

Beautiful Girl with Carta Bella Pressed Floral Collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This weeks layout is created with the lovely Carta Bella Pressed Floral collection:
Beautiful Girl

I love how thick the papers are by Carta Bella, great for easy  tearing which is a technique I love to use. I have used this for the main floral paper then the darker matt for my photo before adding some softer pink to match my daughters top. 

I've predominantly used flowers to embellish my page, adding a little journaling by fussy cutting "Live in the Moment" from the Carta Bella Pressed Flowers journaling paper.  I love the gorgeous large pink flower in the Green Tara Botanicals pack, then the smaller flowers and leaves I have added to my journalling tag. 

I've finished off with a 2Crafty title - Beautiful Girl - inked then I added some sparkle with some kindy glitz.

Hachikowith Bella Blvd Bow Wowby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
More holiday scrapping this week, a photograph with Japans famous dog:
Hachiko 

For this layout I chose to go with the striking colour combo of red and black with a light grey/white background and some smaller pops of colour. I have used the super cute Bow Wow collection by Bella Blvd.  The bones paper a cute background with small bones, then I added the red around the paper to add some colour. Next a few paper layers - cute pawprints and some stripes and colour. 

2Crafty chipboard paws and bones coloured with a sharpie for the perfect little embellishments. I cut the tags from the Daily Details paper and then fussy cut a few words from the Top Dog paper. 

Flowers  either side for that extra colour, I love these large black Green Tara flowers, teamed up with the smaller red cherry blossoms. In my stash I found this supe cute Dog button. 

I have finished off my layout with the title Hachiko using some alphas from my stash - I love this mismatched vibe of these alphas, so fun!

Dancerwith Carta Bella That's my Girlby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
A bit of a break from the holiday snaps to scrap a girly page of my great niece and
 one of her on the way to ballet photos :Dancer

When I saw this cute ballerina paper in the Carta Bella That's my Girl collection,
 I knew it would be perfect for this little dancer.
I have teamed it up with other predominantly pink papers and added a pink border
 around a plain white cardstock background. 

Next up I made my own little embellishment combining a small doily, a fussy cut
circle from the patterned paper and the ballerina stickers from the
  Element Cardstock Sticker Sheet. 

Next up I have used these stunning Green Tara flowers to make cute clusters
 and added some ballet slippers and a cute word sticker to the page. 
I have then added a simple title with some pink Thicker Stickers and added
 a sprinkling of heart stickers from the 12x12 sticker sheet.

Wander with Mintay Wildwood Secrets by Fiona Siegel

Hello
This weeks layout another holiday snap with Mintay papers Wildwood Secrets:
Wander

I love the designs Mintay create on their papers, you literally could just stick a photo on and be done! This paper was no exception, but I have added to the page. I have chosen a busy background which suits using plainer papers for matting photos, which I have done here, using a woodgrain, a green vine pattern and red with white spots around my photo. 

Next I have fussy cut from Paper 6, creating a tag to tuck under my photo, adding some twine to complete it. I have fussy cut the cute strawberry on a woodgrain circle which has the bonus of hiding the background people in my photo. 

Next some pretty white fantasy blooms from Green Tara with some Mintay leaves, a cute deer from the Die-Cuts pack. 

My title, Wander, is from the Simple Stories Woodlands range - foam stickers, as is the small heart next to the deer.

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.

Remember This with 49andMarket Flower Emporium by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week another layout with some holiday snaps, using 49andMarket Flower Emporium:
Remember This

I wanted to focus on the blue tones in the background of my photos for this layout so chose two of the blue toned papers in the Flower Emporium 12x12 Paper Pad. I then used the multi colour stripe from the back of one of the papers behind each photo. 

I've used the large pack of die-cut ephemera and rub-on embellishments from the collection and combined this with another Vicki Boutin collection - Cut and Paste 12x12 Foam Sitckers and finished off with some Green Tara flowers. 

Love the extra detail from the rub-on "paints sploshes" and the colour matched butterfly. 
The title Remember this is from the Cut and Paste collection to complete my layout.

18 Celebrate with Carta Bella Secret Garden by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have created a layout using the beautiful Secret Garden collection by Carta Bella. I do love how thick the papers are in this collection which has lots of beautiful florals:
18 Celebrate

For this layout I wanted to use one of the busy floral patterned papers as my main background. To make this work I have matted the paper with a plain green border, and then matted my photos in a plainer patterned paper too. 
Next I used some co-ordinating flowers from Green Tara and used the Secret Garden Tags and Frames to add journaling to the page. 

More florals and ephemera words

I finished off with using some thickers for my title - finding some numbers in Gold to match the birthday sash and then the large celebrate title from a birthday thickers pack.
