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

Imagine with Echo Park My Little Boy - Kellie Moore

Hello everyone, it's Kellie Moore here today to share with you my first layout as a
Guest Design Team Member for All About Scrapbooks.
 I was so happy when Vanessa asked me to share some of my work with you.

For my first share, I decided to work with this cute range from Echo Park called
 "My Little Boy." As a mum of 3 boys Im never short of boy pics!

Here is my page titled 

Imagine!


I loved the striped paper in the collection called '4x4 Journaling Cards' and used a strip down the left side of the page with a scallop of black cardstock .. I love to add black in with bright colours. It really helps make the colours pop!

I mounted my photo onto the yellow paper called 'Star Child' then added some 2Crafty chipboard under the yellow paper called 'Funky Lines' panel which I painted red.

For my title I used a phrase from the '4x4 Journaling Cards' paper as well as the word 'Imagine' from the 'Multi Journalling' cards paper. Under my title I used a pirate ship from the 12 x12 Cardstock Element Sticker Sheet.

To add balance to the page I used a cut apart from the 'Multi Journalling Cards' paper with a pirate sticker.

To direct attention to my photo, I added some of the 2Crafty Chevron bits which I coloured with a black sharpie...also bringing more black to the page.

There was still a lot of white space left on the page so I added some stars which I cut from the 'Star Child' paper and a few from the Cardstock stickers.

That's it from me today, I hope you enjoyed my first page and I will be back later in the
 month to share more with you!

Take Care and keep creative!

Kel

This View with 49andMarket Wherever by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Back again this week with more 49andMarket Wherever collection.
Loving this range for travel photos!

This View


I've combined some of the blue and green papers in the collection pack to mix and match with with photos from the Blue Mountains - a pit stop on our road trip. I've layered these over some white cardstock and tied it together using some of the Ride Rub-ons from the collection - I've added a cut button from the Everywhere collection - the ranges really mix and match so well 


Super cute ephemera pieces add extra detail - love the mini cameras from the Mini Laser Cut elements:


My favourite are these cute envelopes which are part of the ephemera bits pack, cute to tuck a in smaller photos - here a selfie in front of the 3 Sisters backed with a piece of ephemera. The geotags are also a part of the ephemera bits pack- I teamed this one up with an ephemera globe. 


and lots of perfect titles from in the chipboard words pack to complete my layout. 


Thanks for stopping by
Till next week

Hello Adventure with 49 & Market Wherever Collection - by Fiona Johnstone

Hello

More of the awesome 49&Market Wherever collection to create with this week

Hello Adventure


This background paper screams road trip with its big open road print! Perfect as is, but of course, 49&Market have the perfect rub-ons so I have added a few to the background. The transparencies also add the right amount of detail without covering the awesome background. 



I've added a couple of paper layers before adding some cute mini laser cut flowers  & embellishments and more transparencies  - I love the film strips so much! 



Finishing off the page with these awesome chipboard words from the chipboard sets.

Wander with 49&Market Wherever Collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Playing with the new 49&Market collection - Wherever this week.
I love this one, the colours are fabulous!

Wander



I started with my base paper and then added the border to add a little more of the
 orangey brown to my layout, as this is the colours of my photos.  My main pic I have
 matted with one of the acetate frames from the Acetate Assortment pack. I've used the
 paper advertising strips from the base of these two papers as a strip under my photos. 

Next I've used the acetate film strips from the same pack, and one from the older Color Swatch Toast. I like that you can mix and match well with these collection - I've added
some other bits from similar collections- orange leaves from Gardenia and tag
from Nature Study. 


Of course super cute embellishments in this range too - like these cute ephemera
pieces from Mini Laser Cut Elements pack:


And of course fabulous chipboard words for titles and subtitles:


Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Super Boy Power with Pebbles Cool Boy Collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Time for a boy post this week, featuring some mixed media and the adorable Pebbles collection - Cool Boy:

Super Boy Power



This week I thought I might start off showing my background - I've used two Vicki Boutin stencils and some Distress Oxide to create this. If you look at my design you can see I knew where wanted my paper to go, in fact I created the paper layers first then lay down on the cardstock to get a rough idea. 

I started with the word stencil (old Vicki Boutin) using Distress Oxide in Twisted Citron, then once it dried I have used another VB stencil and Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean - I have used the Ranger Blending tool - perfect for randomly adding the circles, then finishing with some splatters. 




With the base done I've placed down my paper layer main pieces then added some super cute embellishments from the ephemera pack -these are the cutest! My tag is fussy cut from the Ephemera paper, added a hole punch and some twine from my stash. 



Love the mix of vellum and cardstock in the pack! 
I fussy cut the cool from my patterned paper to add to this chipboard tag. 



Finishing off the page with the title Super Boy Power from the ephemera pack.

18 with Uniquely Creative Flowering Utopia by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone


Back again with a layout using Uniquely Creative Flowering Utopia to compliment my page from a few weeks ago. 

18


For this layout I have used another patterned background with lots of pretty pinks and florals. I've added my photo with some pink paper layers then fussy cut the gorgeous floral hot air balloon from the Happy paper 


Next I have added some more florals from the ephemera pack along with some butterflies and cute ephemera words to finish off my page. 


And a simple 18 as the title after going through my stash and choosing gold to compliment the foiling in the background paper.

Together with Vicki Boutin Discover + Create by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

Back this week with another layout created using the awesome Vicki Boutin collection Discover + Create:

Together







For this layout I started with the Needlework paper, for the cute hoop which I fussy cut then decided I liked it on the same background paper so ended up using another piece and mounting my hoop over the top for some dimension. This also allowed me to tuck some super cute flowers - a mix of fussy cutting and ephemera, under the frame. 



Next I used the envelope from the 3x4 paper and fussy cut around it to have the envelope sticking out partially under my photo. 





I added the ephemera camera before continuing with embellishments from the sticker sheet, ephemera icons and Daily reminder thickers. 



Finishing off with the perfect title by 2Crafty - Together

Cute and Cheeky with Vicki Boutin Discover + Create by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

This weeks layout is created with the fabulous Discover + Create collection by Vicki Boutin. Absolutely love this collection!

Cute and Cheeky


For this layout I have focused on the blues in the paper with a hint of red and a pop of black. When I was sorting papers I had the blue and book print together, liked the combo so cut down my book paper to fit along side the blue. Then I added some distress oxide in Stormy Sky & Tumbled Glass to the background. 



My design utilises one of the journaling squares from the 3x4 paper alongside my two 3x4 photos. I've fussy cut the clipboard from the same paper to tuck behind one of my photos and bring the red across. I've added a strip of the blue paper and the advertising strip to the bottom of my photos. 



Next was lots of embellishments - the white flowers from the Icon ephemera pack - I cut the larger one to tuck top and bottom. Also from the Icon ephemera pack - mushrooms, blue flowers, take note sign and butterfly. A cute tab from the foam sticker sheet and finishing with the funky alpha stickers. 


Thanks for visiting
Till next week

Best Birthday Ever with Uniquely Creative Flowering Utopia by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone

This week I'm creating with the very pink and floral Flowering Utopia by Uniquely Creative! Gorgeous range, perfect for scrapping my eldests recent 18th birthday:

Best Birthday Ever




For this layout I have chosen a base paper with gorgeous florals around the border edge so with that in mind as the focus I have just added some light stamping using a butterfly stamp and tiny dot stamp in Orchid ink which is slightly darker than the paper to add some extra interest. I have then added some paper layers to my photo.

Next I have added embellishments from the creative cuts pack around my photo - a flamingo because they are a favourite of my daughters. The pack also contains some phrases making a perfect title and subtitle to finish off my page.
