Favorite - Spectrum Gardenia

Hello everyone

Today I have a layout of my gorgeous little grandson taken at an outing to the Lavender Farm with his Mum and Sister, who dressed to match to have photos taken. Mason didn't want to match and insisted on wearing this shirt, telling his mum he will just find someone else in red to have his photo taken with.
Out of the mouths of babes !

I have used the Spectrum Gardenia range choosing the reds and blacks from the amazing colourful elements. Starting with the Painted Foundations page using the red patterned side then added two of the long laser cut lace pieces one in black and one in red.

The larger photo I have matted with red then black papers with the smaller one framed using on of the ephemera frames. This range comes with lots of laser cut packs, I have used the "Leaves" laser cuts behind the photographs in the background.

Laser cuts mixed with the ephemera pieces have been blended to make little elements on the page including the "Favorite" title.

I have then layered some red and black elements behind the photos and added the gorgeous large red butterfly along with some chipboard bits.

Adventure - Vintage Artistry Everywhere

Hello everyone

Today I have a layout of Anthony and Kyden with our trip to Queensland earlier on this year.
I have used the Vintage Artistry Everywhere collection which is just perfect for any travel photos you have.

I have started with Colored Foundations #2 paper and lightly sanded the edges, next I have added the "Wonder" paper on top which I have cut down to 11x11 to make a dark blue border around the edges which I have also lightly sanded.

I have then used some of the papers from the 6x8 pack as mats behind the photos plus used a paper punches to created the lime green edged pattern I have used which match the acetate filmstrips and frames. Color Swatch Inkwell stitched frames have been layered with ephemera pieces and tucked behind the photographs.

Using the Sentiments 12x12 rub ons I have added the Wander and wonder words then some of the laser cuts like the row of houses.

The suitcases have been bent to look like the tops of the cases and layered with foam tape underneath. Chipboard geo pointer frame has been added also with foam tape and the "keep exploring your world" disc.
