Rad | Simple Stories True Colors | Kel Moore

Hey Everyone, it's Kel here today to share a layout I made using the
Simple Stories collection 'True Colors.'

The colours in this collection are just gorgeous, they are so bright and happy...
this is my page.


I started my design with three strips of patterned paper running vertically down my page
 and I hand stitched around them. I have used 3 smaller photos and have offset them
 from the 3 strips of patterned paper.



Next, I moved onto embellishing my page using a mix of the elements from the collection.
 To the left photo I used a frame and word phrase from the ephemera pack, along
with a floral from the floral ephemera pack and stickers from the 12x12 sticker sheet.

 

To the right photo, I used another floral and more ephemera pieces and stickers.


For my title I used the word 'Rad' from the foam stickers, then underneath used some
 stickers from the Sticker Book.


I hope you found some inspiration from me today and you have enjoyed my page. 

See you soon!

Kel

My Mother, My Friend with 49andMarket Kaleidoscope by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

More creating with 49andMarket Kaleidoscope this week for this favourite photo of my Mum and I in Floriade last year. 

My Mother, My Friend


I've used the brighter colours this week, love how the dark pink paper frames the blue of the background paper and makes the pink flowers pop. I've teamed the photo up with some pink to matte the photo then some softer mixed papers. 

To embellish I have used the Kaleidoscope Laser Cut Wildflowers - the tags and tickets I have fussy cut from the packaging before adding the precut flower stems. 



another Laser cut Wildflower stem and some butterflies from this pack too:


another little flower then this awesome 2Crafty chipboard title just perfect! I have inked this in lime to make it pop against the blue background but also tie it in with the leaves on the background paper.


A close up:

Till next week

Today with 49andMarket Kaleidoscope by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

The beautiful Kaleidoscope collection by 49andMarket is my go to paper today for my pink loving child. It is a truly gorgeous collection of pinks, blue and green.

Today 



For my layout today I have chosen the pretty pink base paper and then added some paper layers with pink, green and the neutral book paper. The reverse of the cover paper has some great cut outs - I have fussy cut the blue tab and the 
words from this sheet. 



I've used the Lasercut Wildflowers to embellish my page, it has a mix of flowers, greeenery, birds and butterflies!


The collection also includes some chipboard titles - but I have gone with my stash and used the title today and the green chipboard heart from an older 49andMarket collection - Spectrum Gardenia. Love how good these collections are to mix and match. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Let's Scrapbook | Bella Blvd Let's Scrapbook | Kel Moore

Hello Creative Friends.
 Kel here today to share a new scrapbook page with you today using the new collection from Bella Boulevard called 'Let's Scrapbook'. It's a really fun, bright collection that is perfect to document your crafty moments with lots of cute pieces that as scrapbookers we all have in our stash like scissors, cameras, glue, ink etc. 

For my page I decided to scrap a picture of me that was used to introduce me to the
All About Scrapbooks design team.
Here is a look at my page...

 

I started with the paper called 'Kaleidoscope' which has a bunch of triangles on it. I cut them out and stitched around them. I added them to the left side of my page pointing them directly at my photo. I layered up some papers underneath my photo.


For my title I used the same 'Kaleidoscope' paper and cut some circles, then used the alphas from the 'Doohickey Sticker Sheet' for the word 'Lets' and the word 'Scrapbook' comes from the 'Ciao Chipboard Stickers.'



Under my title, I used a scallop border from the chipboard pieces, then added a bunch of the icons from the collection.

I hope you enjoyed my page today and you check out this fun collection.

See you soon!

Kel

Sunshine with Echo Park My Best Life collection by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

A new collection this week - the bright and fun My Best Life collection from Echo Park.
 Love the bright colours in this range. 

Sunshine



I had these cute photos and thought a cute grid design would be perfect, so I had a look for some papers with some square journaling and these ones from Echo Parks My Best Life stood out! I've matted and layered up two of the journaling squares, using some of the other squares from the 4x4 Journaling paper:


I've done the same with my photos, adding some paper layers behind and then I've then added some cute embellishments from the Cardstock Elements Sticker sheet. 


I've finished off my layout with the title Sunshine which is also from the Cardstock Elements Sticker sheet. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Unforgettable Moments with Uniquely Creative Peonies & Proteas by Fiona Siegel

Hello everyone

Couldn't resist this super cute paper when I saw it, perfect for lots of Australian native photos, including this one of this guy spotted on a recent bush walk:

Unforgettable Moments


How cute is this little guy?

For this layout I chose the green and leafy background paper as my base, mounting it on to the pink paper to add a little more colour. Next I used pink and green paper layers and added a scrunched up doily to give a little more texture to my page before adding to 3x4 photos. I then fussy cut Eucalyptus Dreams Await from the Wildflower Greenery paper to tuck beside one of my photos. 


Lots of ephemera from the Creative Cuts pack with a focus on the eucalyptus leaves:


And I had to use one of the adorable koalas from the Creative Cuts pack too - so cute! I teamed him up with some of the words in the pack to make my title:

Epic Dance Moves | Photo Play Bros Amazing | Kel Moore

Hello everyone, it's Kel here today to share a page using the Photo Play Bros Amazing Collection.
 Im a real sucker for a fun boys collection and this one is right up my alley.
Im documenting two photos of my youngest when he was dancing ... here it is...


I started my page with a piece of black cardstock... I love the way the colours of the collection pop off the black. I layered up a bunch of papers from the collection for the foundation of my page, cutting into the striped paper to make the bottom edge uneven and add interest to the design. 




I decided to use the 2Crafty Chipboard called 'Star Circular Frames' to place under my photos.

I coloured it black and then added some of the papers underneath the smaller stars.
I then added more stars that I made from the paper and also added a sticker from the
12x12 Element Sticker Sheet.
 


On each side of my photos I used some 2Crafty pieces called 'Dotty Bits' which I coloured with ink
. The hand is cut from the cut apart paper... love it!


For my title I used the word 'Epic' from the 12 x 12 Element Stickers along with some alphas from my stash, also adding some stars from the patterned paper so they balanced out my page with the chipboard star frame at the top of my page. My finishing touch was to add some white paint splatters.


 I hope you enjoyed my page today and I have provided some inspiration for you. 

See you next time!

Fun Times using Pinkfresh The Simple Things by Fiona Siegel



Hello everyone

This week I have the stunning Pink Fresh The Simple Things to use today for my layout

Fun Times


For this layout I was inspired by the circles on the Happy List paper - I have  cut these out and popped them either side of the Here comes the Fun paper which I chose for the dark blue stripe that matched my daughters dress in the photo. I think it's made a fun design to suit the mood of my page. 



Embellishments next, and I have added a journaling square (to fill in later) and embellished with a mix of the orange and blue toned embellishments from the ephemera and chipboard frame packets: 


 I have used the puffy title stickers in the collection - the colours in these are a good mix and perfect for this collection! Finally a smattering of the cute puffy stickers - the perfect finishing touch. 


Thanks for visiting
till next week

Travel with 49andMarket Wherever collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

My next share with 49&Markets Wherever collection:

Travel



When I saw this globe paper knew straight away I wanted to fussy cut it and add a photo from my girls and I flying overseas. Firstly I wanted to have the globe central to the design so I used some white cardstock and decorated the edge of the globe using a selection of rubons and this cute acetate aeroplane. 


The rub-ons are a mix of the 49&Market Wherever Rub-ons Ride and Nature Study Wings


I've kept my photo smaller and added a few paper layers and tucked in some small bits and pieces around the photo - some smaller filmstrips from the acetate assortment pack, tag from mini laser cut elements, and a mini title from the chipboard word set



For my title I made a cluster using the Ephemera Bits  I've used some of the paper to add the little plane background behind my geo-tag before adding my title Travel over the top - also from the ephemera pack. 


Thanks for visiting
Till next week
