Like Totally Awesome with Simple Stories Totally 80s collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back with another 80s share from our retreat this year using Simple Stories Totally 80s collection:
Like Totally Awesome!

Some group photos this time from retreat. I have used the fun flouro shapes on black as my background then added some pops of fluoro pink and teal along the sides of my layout design, from the Simple Stories Color Me Happy collection. I have fussy cut the scallops from the Right Now paper and added them to either side. 

I have used the fun embellishments from the stickers set as well as some fun shapes from the Page Pieces set, giving matching embellishments to each photo, with a main cluster of some retro items - TV, Boom box and Cassette tape. 

I added a fussy cut cassette tape as well and added some 80s words to my design before adding my fab title Like Totally Awesome using the Page Pieces.

Good Times with 49 and Market Artful Moments by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This week I'm back with some 49 and Market Artful Moments collection to document a photo I have had ready to scrap for a while!
Good Times

When I saw this background paper in the Artful Moments Paper Pad,  I knew it was the right range for this adorable photo of my great niece doing some finger painting.  I fussy cut the cute crayons from one of the papers - and I still have butterflies that I have fussy cut to add to my pages!!

I've then combined some embellishments from the Journaling Bits set and the Laser Cut elements to continue my arty theme - colour wheels, paintbrushes etc. 

I ended up going through my stash for the title and came up with this one which is from am old Cocoa Vanilla collection - Good times!

Big Smiles with Simple Stories Pink Lemonade by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

This weeks layout created with Simple Stories Pink Lemonade:
Big Smiles

I had almost a full sheet of the Tag Elements paper, scraps of the rest of the patterned paper but still a few stickers from the 12x12 Cardstock Sticker sheet left in this collection so decided to use the tags as a feature!
A large strip of the super cute Strawberry paper then some strips of co-ordinating papers along the right hand side. I matted my photo with the green Simple Joys paper then fussy cut all my tags from the Tag Elements sheet and lay them along the edge of my page - I added some twine to a couple, left some plain and then added a large twine bow to the centre one. 

Next I hit up the 12 x 12 Cardstock sticker sheet to embellish my page with a mix of flowers and few little quotes and hearts. I used the scalloped border sticker along the side of my page opposite the tags. 

I also used the sticker sheet for my title - Big Smiles to finish off my page.

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.

Game On! with Simple Stories Game Nightby Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
Back this week with another layout created using Simple Stories Game Night collection:
Game On!

I love the bright colours in this collection and decided to use black cardstock for a change - love how the colours pop on this! I chose a full strip of paper to go across the page and then some black and white check. I matted my photo with some red to tie in with my photo. 

Next I have used the tags from the tag elements sheet to embellish and also as a small subheading. I added some twine to complete them. Next some simple embellishments with the Page Pieces set and some fussy cut tags under my photo. I've not used the page pieces previously but have to say they are pretty awesome and I especially love the giant title!

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.

Getaway with 3 Quarters Magical Vines by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone
This week I have documented a recent trip to the Hunter Valley using 3 Quarters Designs Magical Vines collection:
Getaway

I loved the background paper with the rolling hills and vineyards and cute sandstone house. I based my design with keeping the images in focus and used a couple of neutral papers to matt my photo, adding some tearing for some dimension. 
I've fussy cut the wine barrel from the collection for a fun embellishment and used the advertising strip "Life is too short to drink bad wine"

Next I chose this cute vine and berries from 2Carfty chipboard to make my grapevines. I've used sharpies to colour and give leaf detail:

Next a diecut embellishment from the paper pack of the wine bottle and then I fussy cut one of the wine glasses from the off cut strips and mounted it with foam tape. 

I've finished off the layout with my title Getaway using the sharpie in the same purple as my grapes.

I've the fussy cut the tag here and added a Cocoa Vanilla Studio sticker. Then used a few of the stickers from the Echo Park Summer Break Sticker Sheet.
