Besties | Lottie Loves Paper | Simple Stories Kate & Ash

Hey everyone, I have a new layout today for Lottie Loves Paper using the fabulous Kate & Ash collection by Simple Stories!

I've played along with this week's Summer Sketch Challenge too because I just loved the sketch (to be fair I love sketches and they are all fab!). This sketch had a large area of colour at the top and white space at the bottom. I've flipped that around so I have colour at the bottom and a white area at the top. I've used one photo instead of two.

I love the yellow large polka dot paper from the Kate & Ash collection, it's more of a gold colour and it's just lovely and happy. I've used a photo of me and my girly and used the title 'besties' from the Kate & Ash foam title stickers.

I've added lots of embellishments across the line where the papers join. I've used the chipboard shapes, some ephemera and some journaling pieces too. I've also used some stickers from the 12x12 sticker sheet and some of the gorgeous brads - these are real brads that you poke through the paper and split on the other side, which means they will never fall off which makes me very happy!

Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you have enjoyed this layout, I loved creating it with this fun and happy collection. Don't forget to check out the Kate & Ash collection in the Lottie Loves Paper shop.

Happy scrapping

Scream for Ice Cream | Peartree Cut Files | Guest Design

Hey everyone, I have another new layout today for Peartree Cut Files who I am guest designing for this month. Peartree Cut files are a new Cut File shop who also pre-cut cut files for those without a cutting machine which is such a great service!

I am using a new cut file from the August Release called 'Ice Cream Cart'. I've backfilled it in lots of pretty summer colours and paired it with a photo of my daughter eating an ice cream.

I carefully backfilled the cut file so that all the different parts of the cart were different colours. I also created a road and a path for my ice cream cart to sit on which I stitched around to add definition. I added clouds to the white sky and stitched around those too.

I kept the remaining layout fairly simple because I already had quite a lot going on with the large ice cream cart already so I added a few flowers and some stickers here and there as well as a cut ice cream bicycle piece of ephemera that I had lying around!

Thanks so much for joining me today and make sure you check out Peartree Cut files and all their beautiful new releases. There is also a process video for this layout that can be viewed below.

Right Now | Bramble Fox | August Fox Box

Hey everyone, here is my latest layout for Bramble Fox using goodies from the August Fox Box. I've used the 'Right Now' title which is black and in brackets. I love this title so much as it is perfect to document the 'right now' of course and that's something I do all the time as I usually scrap my very recent photos.

This layout was super quick to put together. I've used the Photoplay Paper collection 'We can just stay home' which is full of fun bright colours and cute sloths (which my children have pretty much turned into during lockdown lol). I just loved the sheet of quirky rainbows so wanted this to be a design feature on my layout. I cut a large piece for the top part of my layout and left the bottom section white. I then added my photos and added some embellishments either side of them, and that was pretty much it! I actually typed my journaling for this layout. I typed it onto my computer, saved it as a JPEG and then printed it with my photo printer. It worked really well and then I just treated it like a photo when it came to the layout design.

This layout was super simple and I think it is actually the quickest layout I have ever made!

Thanks so much for joining me today and don't forget to check out the August Fox box and other goodies available in the Bramble Fox Shop.
