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!

Beauty in the Everyday with Simple Stories Simply Vintage Life in Bloom by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Another layout to share using the Simply Vintage Life in Bloom collection by Simple Stories. 
Beauty in the Everyday

I just love this photo paper and it was perfect for my page today. This is not a great photo but it was a memory of our day so sometimes we just need to take the photo!
With the background already prepared with this awesome paper, it was simply a matter of layering up some papers that I still had leftover and still enough for another fussy cut flower too! 

Then I have used a bunch of stickers from the 12x12 Sticker Sheet to add some fun journaling to the side of my photo - covering the empty space and tying my page together. 

I've finished my page off with the sticker sheet - a flower sticker, some hearts & butterflies and then my title.

Hello Today with Simple Stories Simple Vintage Life In Bloom by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Here this week with another layout using the stunning and popular Simple Stories Simple Vintage Life in Bloom:
Hello Today

But first my background, using Vicki Boutin foundations paper and Distress Oxide Inks. The plastic bag technique using Kitsch Flamingo - my favourite pink and then some splatters. Next watered down some Wilted Violet and used that with a Vicki Boutin mask.  Once I completed the page I decided a little more colour was needed and added some flecks in Twisted Citron. 

Lots of fussy cutting in this layout again as I only have the sticker sheet in embellishments but there is so much to cut from the papers!  I've fussy cut flowers and butterflies and even the fabulous/wonderful tags from part of the paper. 

Then I have added the stickers from the sticker sheet to finish of my page. I have also added some of the element from the 49&Market Sherbet lasers cut outs to my page - tabs and film strips, the colours work so well!!

True Beauty with Simple Stories Vintage Life in Bloom

Hello everyone

This weeks share is created with the very popular Simple Stories Vintage Life in Bloom collection:
True Beauty

When I first saw this wreath I knew I wanted to create a page using it as a background and adding lots of butterflies using the Shine Bright paper. 
To start I created a frame using one of the 3x4 Elements pieces and chose that to be my title too. I've added some papers behind the framed photo. Next it was time for lots of fussy cutting - I've cut flowers from the Beautiful Things paper and all the butterflies. 

and

Once I had all my fussy cutting down I assembled the page adding some stickers from the 12x12 Cardstock Sticker sheet - the tickers, the one of a kind sticker and the flowers along the wreath. I finished with my lovely subtitle from the sticker sheet.

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:

Hello everyone
This week it is the other daughters turn for formal photo layouts! This time I have used the sweet Aquarelle Dreams collection by Prima:
Beautiful 

Stunning purples in this collection which match perfectly with the dress! I've chosen one of the patterned backgrounds papers and added a little masking before teaming the photo up with some of the mauve patterned papers and a doily for softness. 
Next I have hit the ephemera packet for lots of flowers and cute embellishments like the envelope and the frame which I have backed with some patterned paper to add some private journaling later on. 

I have added some cute mauve and white flowers from Uniquely creative around my layout. 
To finish off my layout I have used a 2Crafty title - Beautiful and painted it will a mix of white and purple paint. I've tied the page together with these stunning acetate butterflies from the dragonfly pack.

Lovely with 49 and Market Colour Swatch Blossom and ArtOptions Rouge by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back with another layout created with the beautiful 49 and Market, using a mix of  papers and embellishments from the Colour Swatch Blossom and the Artoptions Rouge collections.
Lovely

For this layout I have again chosen a pretty patterned background paper and teamed it up with some rub-ons from the Blossom collection. I have then layered two plainer papers under my photo, adding some tearing for texture. I've then added a couple of strips of the green paper under my base paper with some added tears to break up the pink. 

Rub-ons around the photo layers:

and cute butterflies from an older 49 and market collection teamed up with cute 49 and Market flowers and assorted chipboard hearts. 

adding some matching flowers and butterflies to the bottom right of my photo with some cute words and my title Lovely - both of which are from the Rouge collection chipboard word set. I added some rub-ons underneath my title for added definition.

Sweet with 49&Market Art Options Rouge by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
This week I am creating with the stunning 49&Market collections - ArtOptions Rouge
and Colour Swatch Blossom:
Sweet 

I love how perfect the background papers are for creating beautiful pages. For this layout I have added some paper strips to the edge of the background paper which was the plain side, and added some plain papers to surround my photos. 
Next I have used the rub-ons from the Colour Swatch Blossom collection to the right hand side of my photo:

I've fussy cut some leaves and flowers from the bonus fussy cut elements sheet. Under this I've used another rub on, then I've added some chipboard mini words and small heart to the flower cluster from the Rouge Chipboard Word Set. 

I've used one of the main words from the Chipboard Word set as my main title, again with some rub ons underneath for added colour. I've topped the edge with some cute hearts and finished with a little word rub-on and butterfly.
