Hi there,
today I’m sharing a fun layout using the truly grateful collection for Paige Evans +silhouette design team..I really love how you can get so many different looks using just the one collection based on colour and design..for my layout today I’ve gone for a girly look using lighter colours in the background with darker pops in the foreground

I started off with white cardstock trimming it down with my paper trimmer and then using my silhouette cameo and lace border cut file I cut 4 of each from paper 6 , paper 10 ..then I adhered the top edge of each lace border and added a machine stitching to each to add extra texture

I then matted my photo on papers from the 6x8 paper pad and adhered it down then fussy cut out flowers from paper 15 And started clustering them down one sided of the photo then next I add a title using thickers and epoxy stickers

I then add some scattered flowers around the layout and a cluster of flowers at the bottom

And to finish off the layout I added a Puffy sticker to the top of my photo and a few stickers and epoxy stickers around the photo and flowers.

Here are some close ups of my layout..

I hope I’ve given you some fun crafty inspiration today..happy crafting!

Hi there crafty friends,

sharing a layout using the fabulous bohemian dream collection

For my layout today I decided on this fabulous Unicorn cut file from Paige Evans as the main feature of my layout full of vibrant colour and layered clusters of flowers..

I started with backing the unicorn cut file first with abstract and abundant and then I used kaleidoscope b side paper and matted it on dreamer pattern paper as my base for my layout and before I machine stitched around the border I folded up 2 corners and cut a 2 inch square in half to tuck underneath the corners to change the colours. I matted my photo on abundant and beautiful mess

Then using modeling paste ,stencil and paint I added some mixed media to the background to add extra colour.

Then I adhered the backed unicorn and Photo down at the same time. Then I wanted add my title using the chipboard titles but I wanted a pink title so I used some acrylic paint to change the colour and next the die cut ephemera tucking in tags, Tabs and flowers around my photo

Then I added more clusters of flowers around the unicorn and a few butterflies to finish of the page.

I hope you have a enjoyed my inspiration today

Hey crafty friends,

I’m sharing a layout today created for kitaholic kits I’m using products from both November main and embellishment kit instead of white cardstock I’ve chosen a mint colour I think it blends well with the orange, craft and pink. The cut file is from the silhouette design store BOUQUET 297896
I used a stencil and modeling paste on the background to add a little extra texture and colour. I also added some Washi tape to the top and bottom of my layout to bring more mint colour in..

Happy crafting..

Hi there crafty friends,

Sharing my last layout using the October main kit from kitaholic kits using cocoa vanilla studio unforgettable

I decided to scrap a photo of my roses in the garden as the colours matched so well the green with the pops of pink...

For the background I used a dots stencil and hybrid ink in pink to add some texture and colour

I did lots of layering of the flowers at the bottom of my matted photo...I also clustered a few at the top of my page to add a diagonal focal point ...You can check out my process video at the bottom of this post...

Thanks for stopping by my blog

Hi there crafty friends,

sharing a love layout using the beautiful unforgettable collection.. I using a photo of my kitty Kushan, I guess most people wouldn’t know this but he is blind as he had a stroke 3 years ago and has become very clingy to the point he meows all the time and wants to be picked up and hugged or just be close so he like to lay on my legs while I play video games or watch tv...

Ok so for my layout today I was inspired by a plate I have for my ephemera and bits on my desk that has triangles scattered on it so I thought this triangle confetti background cut file from Paige Evans was just perfect.

I used my cameo to cut out the background on white cardstock and back it with black cardstock

Then using another cut file from Paige Evans this time the word love I cut with my cameo in white cardstock

And backed the heart with my photo and the rest of the letters with natural beauty from the 6x8 paper pad

Then I added some double sided foam tape to the back a added it in the middle of the layout

Then I fussy cut out some flowers from patterned paper glorious to add floral's around the cut file word

And for the other part of my title I use the word this from the foam title stickers and a few phrase stickers from the accessory stickers to the bottom of the love cut file.

Then I pulled out the ephemera and started adding it around the photo and cut files

Then to finish off the layout with a few enamel dots at the top and bottom of my layout.

I hope I’ve given you some more inspiration today.

Happy crafting..

Hi there crafty friends,
sharing a fun Halloween layout using the beautiful bohemian dream collection ... I had a fun idea to make a little witches hat and put it on our kitty Luna's head and take a photo as you can see she was not impressed at all but I think it’s pretty cute...

I started off by choosing abstract pattern paper and a cut file spiderweb heart from Paige Evans and adhered the cut out spiderweb heart in the center of the white cardstock.

Then using embroidery thread I had stitched around the web in purple then I matted the rest of the abstract pattern paper behind my trimmed white cardstock and machine stitched around the edges

Using my cameo and another cut file Halloween from Paige Evans

I used pattered paper abundant and then using beautiful mess pattern paper to back the Halloween cut file

I then matted my photo on Gypsy heart and dreamer and adhering it down

I then added double sided foam tape to to the back of the Halloween word to pop it up and adhered it down across the bottom of the photo

Using the accessory stickers I added a few to the top of my photo then some flowers from the ephemera pack around the photo and web and to finish off the layout I add a few enamel stars in 3 different colours.
