Merry Christmas Santa - 49and Market Sketch Reveal

 

Hello 49 and Market Fans 
Well here we are in December ! 
The month of celebrating the holiday season and spending time with family and friends. For me it is also about capturing the Memories in photo or video form, staged or candid doesn't matter. 

It is also the first of the month so I have the honour of revealing this month's amazing sketch.  You could win one of two awesome 49 and Market Prize packs. 
(Details how to enter are below)

My take on the sketch using photo's of my much loved and adored nephew goofing around in-between his "photo shoot" pictures. His gorgeous personality shines through in each of these photos.

I have started with the Peace and Joy "Starry Night" paper tearing it in half then tearing another pieces approx  two inches wide and flipping it over to the dark green side to make the first border section.  Because it is a sketch and I can change it to suit what I wanted I have added a piece of the reverse red side of the "Wishes" paper. Then I have flipped the other paper back over to the stars side for the far right and layered it to complete a 12x12 sized page.

I have then continued by layering my photos with the frames from the laser cut sheets out of the 12x12 Collection pack. Underneath the photographs and frames I have a layer of chipboard to add dimension to the page and enable me to tuck pieces in behind.  Now,  the antique looking frames in the ephemera bits pack are just a huge favorite of mine and I have used the two shades of blue behind the photos. The large red frame from the die cut sheet I have cut in half and layered one piece with the file frame tag under the green strip and the other side under the frames on the right.

The hanging party lights has been created using the roughly sewn rubons in black to make it look like string then the lights are added from the wishing bubbles and trinkets pack.

To emulate the sketch with the falling frames I have used the red, green and blue ones from the ephemera bits pack along with tickets and file tabs .

The cluster on the left hand side with the striped candy cane red frame has the super cute RED Santa Boots that I just had to use along with foliage from the laser cut sheets, and adding the little epoxy dots to look like baubles. 

To finish off my whole page I have added some of the Essentials Hardware epoxied on the photos and a mountain of rub on transfers, the deer, the cute little robin bird, and lots of stars, around the boots, in the middle frame and around the robin plus a sprinkling of little sayings.

Live with Purpose - 49 and Market November Sketch

 Hello 49 and Market Fans, today I would like to share my layout of my super cute Grandson doing what boys do best, climbing a tree! This is at Yanchep National Park just around the corner from us and has amazing huge old trees, along with an open  Koala enclosure and heaps and heaps of Kangaroos, plus lots of birds and wildlife.   

This is the sketch challenge for November.
I have added how to enter at the bottom of my blog post, you could win one of two 49 and Market prize packs.

I have started with two of the same paper, Vintage Artistry Essentials - Virtue. I cut the leaves from one sheet and put them aside. Using the other sheet I have cut around the leaves so they can pop up from the page and be and extra layer. Then I have used the reverse side of the paper to create the ripped centre piece.  

The Laser cut sheets that come with the 12x12 packs are just exceptional, I have used the crooked fence and bamboo frame from them. Sand the pieces to make them look a bit older and shabby

The leaves that I cut from the first sheet I have layered with the ones I cut from the bottom pieces of paper that are sitting over the top of the centre piece. I have also done this on the bottom leaves.

"Live with Purpose" this banner was in the Vintage Artistry Essentials ephemera pack, the Essentials Hardware epoxy stickers are also amazing and I have used them here to look like a hanging sign and also in the corners of my photo mat. 

A Collage of photos 

1) I have used the Stitched Frames to add layers by putting them behind the photos and the ripped sheet.

2) Vintage Artistry Essentials foliage and In the Leaves rub on transfers which I have added around my page.

3) Those gorgeous trees are from the In the Leaves washi tape set that I have coloured along with the best day ever sign at the top, you can colour the washi with water colour pencils, sprays and paints.

4) More rub ons from the Essentials and In the Leaves range add extra foliage and texture.

Discover and Favourite Time - 49 and Market

 Hello 49 and Market fans 

Today I have not one but two layouts today using the same products which is the NEW Vintage Artistry Naturalist collection of papers, laser cuts and chipboard stickers.

The first layout is based on this month's sketch challenge titled "Discover" as you can see the sketch started out the same but then I added bigger photos.

I have started with the Tattered Wings paper then layered underneath is the Classified paper and finally the reverse green side of the Journal card sheet.

I have used the Rectangle Vintage Artistry Essentials - Stitched frames behind my photos in different angles adding a paper behind the top one to allow me to add rub ons later. 

All of 49 and Market laser cuts are amazing and these ones are no different, with such gorgeous designs and fine details, I have added the photo wrap around both photos then layered flowers and butterflies. To add shape and dimension to you laser cuts just flip them over and rub with an embossing tool onto a soft mouse pad.

The three cute button circles on the left are from the Vintage Artistry Naturalist chipboard sticker sheet, I have used a little bit of jute underneath to join them together then added the cute little arrow clip from the Essentials white shaped clips. 

There are NEW flowers as well as the NEW Naturalist range and I adore the Rustic bouquet in Cranberry, which I have used in a small flower cluster on the left hand side, note the new feathered leaves.

The bar codes of all the 49 and Market papers have a pattern or words on the reverse to be able to use (no wastage), this is what I have used in the bottom left hand corner. Rub on transfers are my all time favourite thing and I have used so so so so many of them from the "In the Leaves" collection, paint splatters, flowers and the gorgeous little butterflies.

"Discover" the title of my layout is from the Vintage Artistry Naturalist chipboard stickers pack, however the white edges where really bright and stood out so I have used a spectrum noir pen and coloured over it in green to blend a bit more. 

My second layout "Favourite time" is nearly a duplicate of this page using the same products, it will be like a double page in my Grand daughter's album, these photos are of her being a kid and climbing up the brick wall in the park across the road from us, she has no fear! 

Again I have layered the three papers keeping the "here" tag from the journal card paper.

The lace laser cut strip I have folded to look like a material lace border on the bottom of the photo montage and then slipped the remaining piece at the top to balance the colour.

Again I have used the Cranberry flowers, this time on the right of my page and added some of the leaves from the chipboard sticker pack with blended green edges.

This time I have used the cute little camera from the clips pack instead of the arrow and more laser cuts layered at the top with the branches frame cut in two, then adding the leaves and gorgeous bird perched on the top, look how detailed and fine the lavender is. 

I have layered lots of rub on transfers over each other like on the chipboard tag with butterflies over the flower rub ons.

I hope you have enjoyed my two layouts today and the New Naturalist range.

Cool, Crisp and Delicious Days - 49 and Market "In the Leaves"

 Hello everyone and welcome to my take on the 49 and Market Sketch challenge with the NEW NEW NEW  Vintage Artistry In the Leaves Fall range. 

This is the wonderful sketch for September 

and My Layout....

This is a photo of my gorgeously sweet Grand Daughter at the park across the road, I started with using the solid colour burnt red reverse of "Splendor" to cut a circle frame with a wait for it ... A Cuttlebug die, I know it has been ages since my Cuttlebug has even seen the outside of the cupboard.  I cut a section out from the right hand side of the paper to leave the patterned left hand side for another layout. 

I have added it to the top of my page like the sketch and added chipboard behind my photo to raise it up so that I could add pieces behind. I then created the bottom cluster with Marble and Sunshine flowers adding white lacey trim in a semi circle shape.

I then added the Marble and Sunshine flowers around the photograph in sprays, tucking some more lacey trim in at the bottom to mirror the lower cluster.

I then got busy adding the amazing foliage pieces in and around both the top and bottom features, tucking in the ends under the flowers and photograph.

To finish off my page I have added lots and lots of rub on transfers, the green paint splash in a semi circle at the bottom the the words "Cool, Crisp and Delicious Days" over the top of the splash rub ons in a layering effect. The butterflies are so gorgeous and in different sizes add the finishing touches.
