Back to the 80s with Simple Stories Totally 80s Collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Todays layout features a fun and funky 80s theme using Simple Stories Totally 80s collection:
Back to the 80s

Back in May I went to a scrapbooking retreat with some scrapping friends and the theme was 80s! Lots of fun ! This new Simple Stories collection was perfect to document it. I love the bright and retro colours.  I've matted my white cardstock in a hot pink paper from Simple Stories Color Me Happy and Bella Blvd Gingham and Stripes paper. 

Is it even an 80s collection if there is no rollerskate? Super cute stickers are a part of this range - not just skates but some retro and neon shapes as well as some well known 80s phrases.

I've used some cute puffy stickers from an older VB collection to add some dimension. I finished off with a shipping tag fussy cut from the paper with Back to the 80s - then added some hot pink twine to finish it off as my title.

Wonderful with Carta Bella Silly Goose and 2Crafty Chipboard by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have created a layout using the adorable Silly Goose collection by Carta Bella. 
Wonderful

Isn't this collection so cute? Love it. For this page I have used white cardstock and an older Vicki Boutin stencil to mask some flowers in light green ink and mounted by cardstock on to green patterned paper. 
Next I have used the super adorable goose paper as a feature paper across my page, adding a torn bottom edge for texture. I have matted my photo with the contrasting red and added some small banners to tie the papers together. Then I have fussy cut some of the journaling shapes from the Journaling Cards paper to embellish.

I love these 2Crafty handdrawn hearts, I've simply inked this one and tucked it under my photo. I then added some fabulous white wildflowers by Prima and some cute 49 and market enamel dots with words. 

I completed my layout with a simple one word title Wonderful.

Carefreewith 49 and Market Artful Momentsby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
I just can't get enough of the stunning Artful Moments paper pad by
49 and Market,  so I have another layout to share with you all today:
Carefree

I've gone with the purple tones for this layout and still more fussy cutting - the
butterflies, of course and also these beautiful flowers! Both pattern papers that are
 part of the paper pad. Then I added the ephemera stems which come with the
 laser cut elements. 

The journaling tag is fussy cut from another patterned paper in the collection and
 I've added a little journaling before tucking it under my photos. 

More of my fussy cut flowers and butterflies, teamed up with some of the
 ephemera from the journaling bits - under my left photo.  I have then used the
same pack to add my "original" journaling word and for my "Carefree" title. 

Thanks for stopping byTill next time

The Little Thingswith 49 and Market Artful Momentsby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Sharing another layout with 49 and Market Artful Moments:
The Little Things

Loved the butterfly paper in this paper pack which inspired the whole page. First lots of fussy cutting over a few days then I had decided on this circle paper making it easy to create a butterfly wreath. For a bit of colour pop I mounted it on to the teal paper which I also used to matte my photo. 

I used a journaling piece as my title and tucked it alongside my photo. Next to embellish with some of the 6x12 cardstock stickers and the journaling bits. I tucked a few pieces along my photos.

Some mini titles from the journaling bits teamed up with some print pattern borders completed my design with a few little bits and bob embellishments and another fussy cut butterfly to finish off. 

Love the bow across the journaling title that ties my colours together.

Today was Good with 49andMarket Artful Momentsby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have created a layout using the beautiful Artful Moments collection
by Vicki Boutin for 49andMarket:
Today was Good

I wanted a predominantly pink and orange vibe for this layout - to match my
dress and the check floor, so I mounted my white cardstock on to some orange
 patterned paper and also used that to mat my photo before adding a banner in
 pink then adding a soft pastel stripe background paper to bring in all the
 other colours. 

Embellishing my layout involved a mix of Laser Cut elements - flowers and bow,
 Journaling Bits - frame and quote and some fussy cutting - butterflies. 

I adore the filigree butterflies in the Laser Cut Elements sheet, it is a reel stand
 out piece taking centre stage on my layout. I have finished off the page with the
 Today was Good title from the Journaling Bits.

That's how we Rollwith Simple Stories Game Nightby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
A fun one this week using Simple Stories Game Night collection, documenting
 my favourite game to play with my sister:
THAT'S how we ROLL

The dice paper obviously perfect for this memory and I have added some extra papers for some added colour and a fun addition of a scorepad sheet from the game itself. 

To embellish I have used the large icon pieces from Page Pieces set as well as a shipping tag from the elements papers, a pencil and paper clip from an Vicki Boutin Print shop and a random heart. 
My title I used a mix of thicker stickers on strips of paper to make them stand out and then some dice mounted with foam .

Cousinswith Simple Stories Take Noteby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I've been creating with the pretty Simple Stories collection Take Note:
Cousins

For this layout I teamed florals up with some black, adding some paper layers down my page and adding some pinks and blues. Then I have added this striking large camera with flowers that I have fussy cut from the 4x6 elements paper to use as a focal embellishment. I added the Little momets journaling circle to the the centre of the camera with some mounting tape and separately added the Big Smiles words from the element sheet. 

I then added some complimentary flowers to the top right corner of my photo and a tab along the top. 

I've used some old thickers from my stash for my title Cousins and then added some Cocoa Vanilla Sticker journaling to finish my layout off.

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.
