I've added Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue to give 

the background a little sparkle.

The 2 Crafty Bauble Ornaments have been covered with

coordinating Distress Paint colours to match the collection.

I've backed each bauble with the reverse side of Season's Greetings

and used gold ink on the tops of each bauble.

and I've used a gold pen to draw in the strings.

The final layer is a swipe of gold ink to each bauble.

The embellishments are from the Die-Cut Ephemera pack 

and have been added with foam tape. 

A little more sparkle added with Crystal Stickles 

to the flower centres in the embellishment clusters.

The Santa is from the Die-Cut pack,

I've used the glitter glue to decorate the hat.

The journal spot has been cut from Oh What Fun

and then embellished with die-cuts flowers,

ticket and banner.

More flowers to the bottom right of the photos,

with a few added leaves, all from the Ephemera pack.

Happy Soul with Vicki Boutin Storyteller by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Back again with another share using the amazing Storyteller collection by Vicki Boutin:
Happy Soul

I love the rainbow pattern in the Composition paper and I have cut this along the rainbow and roughed up the edges to give some texture. Next I added some stamping with various stamps and a few hand drawn xxx's. 
My background is a mix of Distress Oxides using the plastic bag technique and adding some sploshes. Next I have then stamped the butterflies with the Vicki Boutin Stamp & Die Set from this collection. 

More fussy cutting from the floral paper - Fresh Cut and a mix of embellishments from the cardstock diecuts, sticker book and puffy thickers.

You Are Awesome using Lady Pattern Paper Monsters in Space by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone!Today I'm sharing my second page created usingLady Pattern Paper Minsters in Space kit Collection Kit.The photos are Mr H at nearly 2,playing outside on his slippery dipon a lovely Autumn day.

I started the page with 12x12 Bazzill Marshmallow cardstock.

I have used clear gesso as a base coat

 and then left the cardstock to dry completely.

The colours I have used in the background are

Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Stormy Sky 

and Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Inks.

Lots of water and plastic sheet to apply it to the cardstock.

When the Distress Oxides were dry,

I have splashed Black Ink onto the background.

The next layer of patterned paper squares

have been cut from the collection kit packaging.

Each square has been inked with Black Soot Distress Ink

and stuck down to form one large square.

I've used a black gel pen to add a stitched border 

to the patterned paper square.

The small stars have been hand cut from patterned papers,

I've used foam tape to lift them on the background.

The 2 Crafty Circular Panel has been covered 

with Black Archival Ink.

The 2 Crafty Stars have been covered

with Campfire Distress Paint.

The stars have been outlined with a black pen.

I've hand cut some monsters from the patterned papers

and the 3x4 sub title quotes.

The quote and the both photos have been backed with 

Bazzill Raven Cardstock to define them on the colourful background.

Some elements have been given dimension with foam tape.

More hand cut monsters and small stars at the bottom of the page.

The date and journaling have been written with black pen,

straight on to the base cardstock.

The 2 Crafty title You Are Awesome 

has been covered with Black Archival Ink.

I've then hand cut some words from the patterned paper

to add to the title.

I had loads of fun creating this page

and made plenty of colourful mess!

I hope the page has inspired you to create.

Thank you for visiting the AAS blog today,

have a fab weekend, hopefully there is plenty of creating.

Please join us again on Monday.

Lovely with Vicki Boutin Storyteller by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Happy New Year! I will be starting the year off with some layouts created with the gorgeous Storyteller collection by Vicki Boutin. 
Lovely

I just love these large flowers and they were perfect for fussy cutting and were the focus for my layout. Lots of fussy cutting of the plot paper - perfect for extra details - my borders and the tag. 
I drew on the colours from my photo using mainly yellows, some green and with a touch of black. A few layers of yellow and black paper on the neutral side of the stardust base paper. I've added some stamping to add some extra detail and interest to the floral clusters. 

A close up of the stamping - flowers and the "thankful for this memory" words. 

Adding some stickers and puffy stickers to add detail then just a few sploshes of ink to tie the layout together. 

Thanks for stopping byTill next week

Little Dude using Lady Pattern Paper Monsters in Space by Kerryn Fry

Good morning everyone

& Happy New Year!

Today I'm sharing mt first page created with the collection kit,

Lady Patter Paper Monsters in Space.

The photo is a very young Mr H,

taken in his Aunty's backyard roughly 2005.

The base of the page is Bazzill Raven Cardstock.

I've created the galaxy at the top of the page

using a Vicki Boutin 'Star' stencil,

white gesso and a sponge.

Then I've watered down some white gesso

and splattered it over the stars.

Once it had dried, I have added white pen dots

and some sparkle with a glitter pen.

The planets, rockets and coloured stars

have been hand cut from patterned paper.

I've used foam tape to lift all of the pieces

to float across the galaxy.

The quote has been hand cut from the patterned paper as well. 

The 2 Crafty Stars  have been covered with

Chipped Sapphire Distress Paint.

I've backed each star with patterned paper 

and then with a white pen, I have outlined each star.

The Lady Pattern Paper Little Dude Matt Board pack

was the perfect embellishment for the page.

I've used the outer border to frame the photo

and the little monsters in the clusters each side of the photo.

The title Little Dude is also a part of the Matt Board pack.I've used foam tape to lift it a littleand have added some sparkle with a glitter pen.The extra monsters have been hand cut from the patterned paper.

A fun page to start 2021!

Hope you have been inspired to create.

Have a great weekend, make some time for creating

and please join us again on Monday.

Merry Christmas with Pinkfresh Studio Oh What Fun by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Merry Christmas! Last post of mine for the year and will finish the month with another Chrissy page!
Merry Christmas

This one was a reasonably quick layout as I have utilised the cute baubles on the background paper and used these as a feature. I simply layered up some of the other papers in the collection to create my background for my photo then used the sticker sheet to embellish. 

Close up of the stickers - and I have also used the stars from the puffy phrase stickers to add a bit of dimension.
Next my title is an older acrylic word from Bella Blvd - an assortment can be found here: and also a small 2Crafty Chipboard word Merry. 

Wishing you all a Happy New Year, let's hope it is better than this one!
Till then, Fionax

Thankful using Cocoa Vanilla Studio Daydream by Kerryn Fry

Morning everyone & Merry Christmas!

I am sharing my final page using the collection,

Cocoa Vanilla Studio Daydream.

I've gathered my remaining pieces of this range

to put this page together.

The photo is two of my gorgeous nieces, who are also sisters,

it was taken, with a beautiful Autumn backdrop, in May 2013.

The base of the page is a 12x12 sheet of Kraft cardstock.

All of the flowers have been hand cut 

from the paper Garden Variety. 

I couldn't let this paper go to waste.

Once each cluster was cut out,

I've laid the flowers around the edge 

of the cardstock to form a border and frame the photo.

Some flowers have been lifted with foam tape.

The butterflies, small journal spot and single flower 

are all from the Accessory Sticker sheet.

The quote was hand cut from the Happy Place paper,

it's been lifted with foam tape for extra dimension.

The sparkle trail from the butterflies

is small dots of Stickles Glitter Glue.

The tiny flowers have all been hand cut from Garden Variety.

The large journal card is from Happy Place.

I've added word & heart stickers from the Accessory Stickers.

The title is a word cut from Happy Place as well

and has been stuck down with foam tape.

A simple page today which was great fun to create.

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Hope you enjoy the festivities over the weekend

and have some creative time as well.

Please join us again on Monday.

Stay safe!

Tis the Season with Cocoa Vanilla Studio Merry & Bright by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Another Christmas share today with the beautiful Merry and Bright collection:
Tis the Season

Love this spotty background paper - with all it's colours and subtle design. I have added a border in the light green Christmas Tree paper to add some definition to the page. 

I've used several layers of the patterned paper to create todays design then hit up the embellishments in the collection. 

Love the ephemera pack, always chock full of prettiness!  I've also used the cardstock stickers and love a flair button for that finishing touch. 

I'm getting a lot of use from the Pinkfresh Oh What Fun Puffy Phrase stickers, using them again for this title!

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Fiona
