My Heart with Vicki Boutin Cut and Paste by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Another layout with the very popular Cut and Paste Collection by Vicki Boutin. 
My Heart

Love the blues and greens in this collection, particularly the large spot paper. I've used the word print paper as my base and matted it on to black cardstock before adding some distress oxide ink in blues and greens to match my papers. I've added some tearing and distressing to my paper layers for this page. 

I've stuck with predominantly green, blue and neutral embellishments for this layout with black highlights that really pop! A mix of Ephemera Icons, Cardstock stickers, Ephemera Titles and the fun 12x12 foam stickers which add some cool dimension. 
How cute are these  cardstock sticker clouds?

My title is from the Ephemera Title pack which has a great assortment of styles to make your titles with.

Enjoy every Moment with Cocoa Vanilla Bloom and Grow by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Another share using Cocoa Vanilla Studio this week:
Enjoy Every Moment

For this layout I have used a white background with some reverse stenciling. I have taken my Vicki Boutin stencil, applies some Distress Oxide in Saltwater Taffy and sprayed with water before sticking stencil down on to my cardstock like a stamp, then dabbing with paper towel to create this soft background. 
Then I have matted the white cardstock on to the reverse side of the Wildflowers paper. 

 I have layered up some patterned papers from the CVS collection with some distressing and tearing, then used the floral ephemera pack to embellish my layout with some flower clusters.  A few journaling strips from the accessory sheet and the adorable heart puffy stickers to complete the clusters.

and finishing off with a 2Crafty Chipboard title Enjoy every Moment inked in Celadon ink.

AC/DC LaneUniquely Creative "Steampunk Graffiti" by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Using the fab Uniquely Creative Steampunk Graffiti to document some more pics from our Melbourne trip:
AC/DC Lane

The paper is just so perfect for any graffiti art photos! I have teamed the paper up with some black cardstock and black paint before adding some embellishments from the Creative Cuts and Dimensional Stickers 

I've then used some 2Crafty pieces to suit the musical theme - this awesome guitar - which I painted to kinda match one of the AC/DC guitars,  and some musical notes. I also got the title cut specially - just used a puffy sticker for my lightning bolt!

Fun Times with Carta Bella Summer Sunflower Collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have used the awesome Sunflower Collection by Carta Bella to create
this layout from a few years back at Van Gogh Alive:
Fun Times

The sunflowers from this range were perfect for my photos outside of the exhibition
 in front of these sunflowers. I have fussy cut several of the sunflowers from
  Sunflower Garden paper to start with. 
On my white cardstock I have brayed on some black paint and then used some
 green distress oxide ink to stamp some wire print around the page. 

After layering up some green and yellow papers I have scattered my fussy cut
 sunflowers around my page before adding some stickers from the element
 sticker sheet, a Cocoa Vanilla Studio stickers and the cute bee and butterfly ephemera pieces. I used a punch to add some leaves from the green Sunflower patch.

and a close up of the smaller sunflower at the base of my page, the white cardstock
 layered onto the orange Sunny Plaid paper. 

To finish off, I have used a 2Crafty chipboard title - Fun times and inked it in dark
 green to match one of my papers.

Super Boy Power with Pebbles Cool Boy Collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Time for a boy post this week, featuring some mixed media and the adorable Pebbles collection - Cool Boy:
Super Boy Power

This week I thought I might start off showing my background - I've used two Vicki Boutin stencils and some Distress Oxide to create this. If you look at my design you can see I knew where wanted my paper to go, in fact I created the paper layers first then lay down on the cardstock to get a rough idea. 
I started with the word stencil (old Vicki Boutin) using Distress Oxide in Twisted Citron, then once it dried I have used another VB stencil and Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean - I have used the Ranger Blending tool - perfect for randomly adding the circles, then finishing with some splatters. 

With the base done I've placed down my paper layer main pieces then added some super cute embellishments from the ephemera pack -these are the cutest! My tag is fussy cut from the Ephemera paper, added a hole punch and some twine from my stash. 

Love the mix of vellum and cardstock in the pack! I fussy cut the cool from my patterned paper to add to this chipboard tag. 

Finishing off the page with the title Super Boy Power from the ephemera pack.

Cute and Cheeky with Vicki Boutin Discover + Create by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This weeks layout is created with the fabulous Discover + Create collection by Vicki Boutin. Absolutely love this collection!
Cute and Cheeky

For this layout I have focused on the blues in the paper with a hint of red and a pop of black. When I was sorting papers I had the blue and book print together, liked the combo so cut down my book paper to fit along side the blue. Then I added some distress oxide in Stormy Sky & Tumbled Glass to the background. 

My design utilises one of the journaling squares from the 3x4 paper alongside my two 3x4 photos. I've fussy cut the clipboard from the same paper to tuck behind one of my photos and bring the red across. I've added a strip of the blue paper and the advertising strip to the bottom of my photos. 

Next was lots of embellishments - the white flowers from the Icon ephemera pack - I cut the larger one to tuck top and bottom. Also from the Icon ephemera pack - mushrooms, blue flowers, take note sign and butterfly. A cute tab from the foam sticker sheet and finishing with the funky alpha stickers.

Life's Good with Pinkfresh Simply the Best by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Another share with the awesome Pinkfresh Simply the Best collection. 
Life's Good

I've used distress oxide ink in Rustic Wilderness watered down and using the plastic bag technique to apply to my background. Once dry I have used a Vicki Boutin stencil and more distress oxide ink to stamp the background. 

Next I used pinecone ink to lightly ink the 2Crafty Chipboard Brick Panel which I have cut into sections. I layered this over my distress background. 
I've then layered up some pattern papers to match my photos, and fussy cut some elements from the patterned papers. Finally I added some co-ordinating embellishments from the collection - chipboard flairs and cardstock stickers. 

I finished the page with 2Craftys Life's Good title which I have inked in Distress Oxide Chipped Sapphire and Tsukineko Ink in Atlantic.

Floriade with Vicki Boutin Printshop by Fiona Johnstone

Hello
Back with another creation using Vicki Boutins Printshop collection:
Floriade

For this layout I've created a mixed media background using colours to match my photo and papers. I've used some Distress Oxide in Tumbled Glass and then some texture paste masking with Distress Oxide Seedless Preserve and a Vicki Boutin stencil. 
Next I've taken several strips of paper and layered them across my cardstock and added a strip to the bottom of the page. 

I've then done some fussy cutting of the flowers from the Flourish paper and I have added these to either corner of my layout, and some to the bottom strip before adding a mix of embellishments from the sticker sheet and ephemera packets. 

Another fussy cut flower and sticker embellishments combined with a Pinkfresh Studio chipboard flair. 

Finishing off the layout with these alphas from the Printshop collection, love them, so cool and fun!

Game On! with Pinkfresh Studio Simply the Best Collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I'm using Pinkfresh Studio Simply the Best collection to scrap this photo series of my dog Harry playing in the yard. 
Game On!

Love the cute circles on the Mood Booster paper, just perfect for fussy cutting or you can use a circle punch if you have a large one. I based my design on these circles, using the words around my photos and the patterns in the white space. 
For the white space I did some sploshes with some Distress Oxide Ink in Rustic Wilderness. 

After layering some patterned papers and my photos I have used shipping tags fussy cut from the Happy Times paper Truly Epic paper and tucked these around the photos on the right hand side, adding a mix of coloured and plain twine. 

I've used Cardstock Stickers and Chipboard Flair to embellish my page alongside the circle words. Love the finishing touch the chipboard flair give to a page.
