Happy Halloween with Prima Made of Magic by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
As Halloween approaches I was inspired to create some extra decor and have created this coffin using a wooden store bought coffin, some 2Crafty Chipboard and the super cute and spooky Prima Made of Magic collection:

 👻Happy Halloween 👻

To start I have painted the wooden coffin in black paint then to the front sprayed some glimmer spray.  Next I have painted my 2Crafty Chipboard spider webs in white paint and glued them to the front of the coffin. 

I have used the Prima Made of Magic ephemera and Witching Hour blooms to embellish. 
Next I moved on to the inside. I painted this black aswell. Then I have used the coffin and made a templated to cut out my main papers for the back, then some complimentary papers to do the sides of the coffin 

I fussy cut this little witch from the elements paper in the 12x12 paper pack and then made her stand up by using some scrap paper, to created a 3D effect. 

The ghost on the ladder is from the ephemera pack, I have fussy cut the holes in the ladder so they weren't filled white and mounted the ghost with some cardboard to give him some extra dimension. I added an ephemera framed pic to the side of the coffin, then embellished the top of the bookshelf background with ephemera and flowers. 

On the other side of the coffin I added a fussy cut clock with some flowers and the cute ephemera ghost with spooky stories - both mounted for dimension. On the other side I added a chipboard frame from the Chipboard Stickers set I added some glitter to my older black flowers that I found in my stash and some cobwebs to the corners using the "spider web" you find in dollar stores. 

I fussy cut  the grandfather clock and mounted it in front of the clock that was on the paper as I wanted the 3D effect. To this I added the ephemera broom and pumpkin. Then I added some "spider webs" and the cute ephemera bat. 

Thanks for stopping byTill next week

Wonderful with 49andMarket Echoes of Time by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Another page to share this week with the beautiful Echoes of Time paper range
 by 49 and Market:
Wonderful 

On this layout I have placed my photo onto the plainer section of the paper - don't want to detract from the beautiful design. I've matted my photo it the purple stripe paper but then added a matt of black cardstock to make it pop then made a rough scallop edge with the advertising strip for some contrast. 

I've embellished my layout using the stunning florals from the Laser Cut outs Wildflowers and added the stunning butterfly also from the same. 

Again I have used a Vicki Boutin title and the black phrases from the Prima Aquarelle dreams chipboard to complete my page.

This Lifewith 49 and Market Echoes of Timeby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have been creating with the beautiful Echoes of Time collection
 by 49 and Market
This Life

Love this cute framed paper . I decided to cut out the centre to frame my photo. I added some cardstock behind the paper to make the purple pop and some doily bits to soften the page and match the frame. 

Next I have used the beautiful Wildflowers cut outs from the collection to add some more flower clusters , butterflies and cogs. For the journaling I went to my stash and used some Prima journaling stickers. 

To complete my layout I wanted a title that popped so went looking for something in a dark font. These Vicki Boutin alphas were perfect, the black to stand out but the font is soft to match the page.

Christmas Memories with Graphic 45 Deck the Halls by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back playing catch up with some Christmas layouts from last month. This week I have used more of my Graphic 45 Deck the Halls collection:
Christmas Memories

My base woodgrain paper is from an older 3Quarter Designs pack but there are similar here. I have then added some paper layers from the Graphic 45 Deck the Halls collection pack. I have then added some ephemera from the Deck the Halls collection  - my favourite is this large nutcracker 

I've used a Prima flower set of poinsettias around my page and added some journalling words from the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Sentiment Bits

I've finished off my page with some Gold Letters from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.

It's the Season to Sparkle with Graphic 45 Deck the Halls by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have another Christmas share with  Graphic 45 Deck the Halls:
It's the Season to Sparkle

This layout uses the same Graphic 45 collection as last week, but this time focusing more on the reds. I've used a red candy cane paper as my border paper and scrapped on some white cardstock as my base. For my blue toned photo I have matted in blue, then a white with blue before adding the large floral paper and highlighting with a red Merry Christmas banner

I've used the ephemera again to embellish and some fussy cutting from the patterned papers. I used these cute leaves and berries from my stash - love the pretty glitter to add some sparkle

My title is 2Crafty - It's the Season to Sparkle, I have inked it in red then sprayed with some shimmer spray. Then I have finished off my page with some cute little snowflakes which I have mounted onto the page for added dimension.

Gorgeous with Prima Postcards from Paradise by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Today I have created a layout using the absolutely stunning Prima Postcards from Paradise:
Gorgeous

I had to use this range for a picture of my eldest as flamingoes are her favourite animal. I love the paper and based my design around the flamingo on the paper - spacing my design to either side.  The left side has my photo and I have matted it with some paper layers and the cute door from the ephemera pack. Next I have added some chipboard inked in gold underneath before adding flowers and a flamingo.

On the right hand side I have made a similar cluster minus the photo - door and chipboard with an adorable envelope, some flowers and another flamingo from the ephemera pack. I've added a subtitle beauty in gold. 

a close-up of the main title gorgeous, painted gold to compliment the flecks of gold in the paper.

Just Love with Prima Marketing Spring Abstract by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back with another share using the beautiful Prima Spring Abstract paper:
Just Love

Loving the circle on the background paper and as these papers are stunning on their own with their silver embossing I decided to add some 2Crafty Chipboard frames to keep the circle theme without detracting from the paper. 
For the frames I have inked them in colours to co-ordinate with my paper and photo - pink, green, blue and mauve, then added some shimmer glitz spray. I've fussy cut my photo then fussy cut the butterfly from one of the patterned papers and stuck them under the frames:

I've then added some of the stunning Prima flowers that are part to the Spring Abstract Collection and combined this with some of the elements from the Ephemera pack:

I finished by using the ephemera pieces as my title

Some Kind of Wonderful with Prima Spring Abstract by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I have the very beautiful Prima Sping Abstract papers to create with.
These are just so stunning with gorgeous colours and foil accents. 
Some Kind of Wonderful

Oh I just adore this background paper - Spring Awakening - with it's beautiful floral pattern along the bottom. I wanted to extend that by having my photo come out from the flowers and then adding some extra floral ephemera and Prima Flowers from the Spring Abstract collection. 

I've added some Lattice Chipboard leaves to my flower clusters on both sides. I've inked these in a mix of navy and green to match the leaves on the paper. 
I've used a little journaling square as my title, this is from the ephemera pack as are the sweet butterflies. I've finished off the page with a little sub quote, a chipboard sticker from the Prima Aquarelle Dreams collection. 

Thanks for visitingSee you next week!

My Everything with Prima Aquarelle Dreams by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I have a final share with the stunning Prima Aquarelle Dreams to finish off the formal photos!
My Everything

Love this photo of my two girls together and the eldest wore her purple dress to match - I've taught them well! 😂
For this layout I have used a plain backgound in woodgrain and added some torn paper as a full strip before adding lots of flowers from the ephemera pack:

Clusters top and bottom of the photo

I've dug into the stash again and found an older 49&Market laser cut element sheet for my border strip and inked it in mauves and blues and added some white paint. 
I've also used my 2Crafty chipboard title My Everything and painted white adding touches of mauve and blue to match my layout.

I finished off with some ephemera butterflies and some chipboard words.

Lovely with Prima Aquarelle Dreams by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back with another layout using the pretty purples of the Prima Aquarelle Dreams collection for another formal photo: 
Lovely 

This collection is just so pretty!! I have focused on the frame made with the gorgeous leaves on the background paper and then added to it with embellishments.  From the Prima collection I have used the ephemera, the acetate dragonflies and the chipboard stickers. 
But firstly I added a 2Crafty French Lace Border strip to the side of my photo that was mounted onto one of the Prima Aquarelle Dreams paper. I have trimmed this piece to fit my photo, then painted the border strip in a mix of white and mauve acrylic paint:

Underneath you may notice some doily stickers added for some extra texture - very old stash busting pieces from Kaisercraft!
Next I have added some flower clusters using the beautiful Uniquely Creative flowers with some stems cut from the ephemera shapes and a little subtitle. 

I've then used some of the ephemera pieces and a smattering of acetate dragonflies to my design:

And a little cluster at the bottom with a ready made ephemera flower cluster and some chipboard stickers to complete the page:
