When I found a very cute hedgehog just wandering around in the middle of the day, of course I took a hundred photos and put him on a scrapbook page! The Simple Vintage Autumn Breeze collection by Simple Stories was perfect! I cut out that tree and house from beautiful papers in the 6x8 Paper pad to make my background and then added a photo strip and lots of pretty embellishments!
Update on the hedgehog: obviously hedgehogs aren't supposed to be awake during the day so we called Hedgehog Rescue who came and collected him and took him away for a check up, then re-released him. What a cutie!
Hey everyone, here is another layout using the gorgeous All Wrapped Up
collection, I chose that beautiful pale cross-hatch paper for my background , how
stunning is that paper?!
I cut out lots of tags from the Tags Elements paper (always
one of my faves!) and added different ribbons to each one. I made eight in
total and layered them down both sides of my layout, with the tags facing
inwards. I love how this turned out, it created the perfect space in the centre
for a long title!
I added my two photos onto some paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad
to give them a nice mount before placing them over the tags.
In the middle of the layout, I added some festive words from
the Foam Stickers: ‘cheer’, ‘hohoho’, and ‘joy’. I absolutely adore the style
of these Foam Sticker titles!
Next, I added lots of little details to the tags: cute
pieces from the Bits and Pieces pack, including a gorgeous vintage Santa,
gifts, candy canes, holly leaves, and plenty of stars.
To finish, I popped on a few Decorative Brads for extra
texture, added my handwritten journaling, and splattered a little white paint
for a snowy finishing touch.
Here’s a new layout for Simple Stories using the gorgeous
All Wrapped Up collection! This collection is full of traditional Christmas
colours and the cutest festive icons.
For this layout, I started with that beautiful red paper
covered in musical notes. I cut it into a large circle and added it to a white
cardstock background.
I layered up my family photo with several trees. I
absolutely adore the trees in this collection! They’re divided into different
sections, each with its own colours and patterns, and they’re just so cute. I
made a feature of them around my photo.
For my title, I used the word ‘merry’ from the Foam
Stickers. Some of the letters are divided up in the same way as the trees,
totally adorable!
I added a few embellishments around my tree clusters,
including flowers and leaves from the Bits & Pieces, along with gifts and
other decorations. I also added a few stars, some from the Bits & Pieces and others
from the Foam Stickers.
I always love using the Decorative Brads, they add great texture and dimension to my
layouts, so I always reach for them. This layout was no exception; I dotted a
few around the page.
To finish, I added a few phrase stickers from the Cardstock
Stickers and some splatters of black paint for a final touch!
I think this layout turned out really cute, and the All
Wrapped Up collection is just gorgeous.
Hey everyone! Here’s the layout I created for the November
Cybercrop Moodboard Challenge. The moodboard was full of pinks, soft pastels,
pretty details, crafty elements, and flowers so right up my street!
I used the Crafty Babe collection by Simple Stories to
document the last ever group photo from our final GoGo Getaway residential
retreat back in June. Such fabulous memories from an unforgettable weekend!
For the design, I placed my photo in the centre with two
patterned paper strips running down either side of the page. The embellishments
cascade down from the photo, flowing into my stacked title: “I’m a totally
fabulous crafty girl”, and honestly, what a perfect title for this page!
I had so much fun with the oversized tags on this month’s For the Love of Pretty Paper sketch! I made two giant tags with patterned papers which I balanced with the
bright strip at the bottom. To make my tags look authentic, I made contrasting circles
for the holes to go through…just like a pre-made tag! I used the very cute Fur
Baby Cat collection by Simple Stories to scrap some funny photos of my cat
trying to sit on my husband’s head! She really loves him!
Head over to the For the Love of Pretty Paper Facebook Group
to join in and play along with this month’s challenge, have fun!
