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.

Today with Photoplay Lucky Cat Collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back from holidays recently with lots of holiday layouts to scrap, first up is one created
 using the new Photoplay Lucky Cat collection:
Today

I've used the gorgeous Cherry Blossoms paper to match my kimono and added blue and pink highlights - also taken from my outfit.  I've used the reverse cherry blossom paper blue side and torn a long full length edge for the base of my design then used the cherry blossom side under my photos, adding the stripe Good Fortune paper to either side of my photos. 

I've embellished my layout with elements from the Photoplay Lucky Cat 12x12 Sticker Sheet and Vicki Boutin Cut and Paste Ephemera titles. 

I've added an assorted of flowers in red, pink and blue to match the flowers in my hair and finished the layout off with the Today title from VB Cut and Paste and some matching foam stickers - dots and hearts from VB Cut and Paste Foam Sticker sheet.

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.

Gorgeous with 49&Market The Flower Emporium by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Today's layout is created with Vicki Boutins' first collection with 49andMarket - The Flower Emporium. The perfect colours for my daughters 18th celebration earlier this year:
Gorgeous 

Love this typed background paper, from the 12x12 Flower Emporium paper pad, with hints of colours on the edges. I have added to this by using some of the rub-ons from the collection under and around my photo. I've chosen yellow and green papers from the collection to match the colours in my photo, adding some light florals into the mix. 

Gorgeous large flowers and leaves clustered either side of my photo are from the massive ephemera pack that has over 200 pieces!! You can also see the rub-ons under these two clusters of flowers.

Even my title, heart and bee are from the ephemera pack, it just has so much stuff.

Together with Vicki Boutin Cut and Paste by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Hope all the mums had a lovely Mothers Day yesterday.
 After yesterday I thought a photo of my girls and I would be the perfect choice to share.
 I have created this with the new Vicki Boutin Cut & Paste collection:
Together

I loved this gorgeous floral wreath paper as soon as I saw it and decided it would be the perfect choice for this photo. I teamed it up with a plainer B side paper to create a contrasting matt background, then used the same paper to matt my photo, before adding some of the advertising strips as layers and fussy cutting some scallops for under my photo. 

Next I have hit up the ephemera icons embellishment packet to grab some flowers to add around the wreath using some mounting tape to add dimension. A large butterfly from the ephemera and a smaller butterfly and gold hearts and dots from the cardstock sticker sheets. The my heart vellum also from the ephemera pack which contains a mix of vellum and cardstock icons. 

I finished the page off with an assortment of words to form my title, these are all from the ephemera titles pack.

Good Vibeswith Simple StoriesVintage Flower Shoppe by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back with another layout using the beautiful Simple Stories
Vintage Flower Shoppe collection:
Good Vibes

For this layout I chose to focus on the pinks and florals from the collection.
 I teamed  this up by using a Vicki Boutin Stencil and Foundations Paper to
 create my background with pink - Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks. 

You can see a close up of the distress ink flowers, then I have added a mix of fussy cut and ephemera butterflies to the top of the page with a smattering of decorative brads. 

Some tabs and flowers from the bits and pieces ephemera teamed up with decorative brads. 
A gorgeous large floral basket embellishment from the bits and pieces ephemera pack,  alongside my foam stickers title before finishing off with some Cocoa Vanilla Studio word stickers.

Cutewith Echo Park Little Builderby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back with another share using Echo Park Little Builder and 2Crafty chipboard:Cute

For this layout I started with some white cardstock and some Distress Oxide ink and used the plastic technique to add some splotches to my page then a paintbrush for some splatters. Next I took my 2Crafty Grid panel, cut it up then inked in black ink to make it pop. 
I matt my white cardstock with the reverse of the Echo Park Little Builder Trucks paper, then I have taken several of the  patterned papers and layered them up behind my photo, then added a torn strip along the length of my page. 

Next I have fussy cut some labels from the 4x4 journaling cards and added some Vicki Boutin chipboard hearts to my page. 

I've inked the 2Crafty title Cute in Distress Oxide Rusty Hinge and used an arrow from the VB chipboard shapes. Some journalling words and a flair button from my stash before finishing off with some enamel hearts.

This is My Happy Facewith Echo Park Little Builderby Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Happy 2025!
 I am back from a short break with my first layout for 2025, featuring Echo Park Little Builder:
This is My Happy Face!

For this layout I knew the title I wanted for this page, so I started with my paper design using Echo Park Little builder papers and then added the 3x4 journaling piece. Next I have cut one of the other 3x4 pieces into single journaling strips to add some more context to the title as it doesn't quite match my photo! 
A cute VB chipboard star with a flair button from my stash over the top. 

I've used a black pen to outline the journaling piece and my white cardstock. Next I have embellished with lots of stars - I have used Vicki Boutin Chipboard Stars along with some cute button stars from my stash and the Doodlebug enamel stars. Some journaling stickers over a chipboard tab finished off with an enamel star. 

My title: This is my Happy Face I have inked in Distress Oxide inks - Tumbled Glass to match the lighter blue paper.

This one was fun, loved using the chippy to document my daughter getting
 her P's and the cute twist on "traditional" boy paper.

Fussy cutting!!
This paper was perfect with its' carnival vibes and well worth the effort to fussy cut.
Mintay crated the prettiest of papers!
