Adorable - 49 and Market Curators Botanical

Hello 49 and Market Fans

I am so happy to bring you a layout today of my little Grandson taken at Christmas time at our local shopping centre. Of course as soon as I saw the NEW Curators Botanical range I knew it would be perfect for these photos, plus I have two extra photos taken on Santa's chair underneath in an interactive flap.

The New ranges are just amazing with not only new colours and themes but also with so many new elements as well.

Papers are still sold in packs however the laser cut sheets are now packaged as 4@ 6x12 sheets and sold separately. (you can also purchase the 12x12 paper sheets singularly). Ephemera bits now have different elements in them, Tag sets are super cute and new complete with eyelet and string. Also new are the many different Washi rolls and Fabric tapes that you will see the team using as well as the Rub ons that come in 6x8 and amazing 12x12.

Now,on to my layout...

I have started with one of the Solids colours #3, distressed all of the edges and inked with Pinecone ink then added torn pieces of the washi tape along the left hand side then machine stitched all the way around. Using another Solids colour I have done the same around the edges, adding washi and machine stitching, layering some of the bookplates pieces underneath.

Then I have also machine stitched around the outside of one 4x6 file frame and made a flap for extra photos out of another, covering the extra tabs with washi tapes.

I have used papers from the 6x8 paper pack on the inside with strips of the postage stamp washi on the right side underneath. The laser cuts are so intricate and beautiful as always, the filing cabinet is one, that I have added ephemera pieces hanging out of one of the draws along with frames plus dainty plant and foliage pieces.

One of my favourite washi tapes is the Curators Essentials stitching washi which I have used around the outside of a square file frame in the black with white stitching. This pack has four different designs in three different colours !

I have then added tags from the tag set, and an array of the 6x8 Rub-Ons.

Tip - If you only want to add a little colour here and there just rub a tiny piece then pull up straight away, then you can add another and another and another until you have enough.

Take care and hope you get some creating time with the wonderful new ranges!
