SEEK - 49 and Market

Hello everyone, today I would like to share my layout for the amazing 49 and Market of my super gorgeous Grandson. I have used this months August sketch challenge as inspiration.

Did you know that every 12x12 Collection packs come with a bonus on the reverse of the cover sheet? There is always an extra paper to use, in this case I have used the white map pattered piece from the Vintage Artistry "Anywhere" collection reverse of the cover sheet then the deep blue is the "Quest" and mustard yellow is the "Fragments" papers both also from the Anywhere collection.

Also in every 12x12 Collection pack are the most amazing laser cut pieces, I totally love the elastic looking ties that wrap around your photo or embellishments as you can see below with added ephemera stack pieces.

Under the photos and ephemera I have used foam tape to raise them off the page for added dimension. I have also used liquid scrap dots under the Essentials foliage pieces.

Don't you just love that strip of skyline down the bottom of the page? Guess what, it is Washi strip that I have coloured with the Spectrum noir Tri-Blend pens that offer such a gorgeous range of shades.

Finishing off my page I have added more washi that I have coloured around the edge then an array of different rub on transfers like the arrows, tickets, leaves, Discover definition and the "life is short & the world is wide" saying plus all those cute little beads. The epoxy dots are from the Wishing Bubbles and Trinkets pack also in the Anywhere collection.

I hope my Grandson explores the world when he is older starting with his own country Australia.
He is full of sass and curiosity which will take him far I know. Never stop Seeking Nanny's amazing little man.

Holiday Vibes - Vintage Artistry Anywhere

Hello 49 and Market Fans, today I get to share a layout of us heading off on a vacation. Borders are not open yet but we can travel within Australia, we took the opportunity to go "up north" to Broome.
We where so excited for many reasons, one, because we where able to travel and two, because it was the first time we have been away together all three of us. Beforehand it was Ky and myself or Anthony and Ky, this time was family time.
These photos where taken at the airport and inside the plane! Vintage Artistry Anywhere collection is just perfect for out trip photos.

I have also used this months sketch challenge as a jumping off platform to start my layout.

To enter for your chance to win one of two 49 and Market prize packs, load your take on the challenge into the May file section on Facebook HERE.

I have used three different papers from the 12x12 Collection pack which includes the amazing laser cut pieces. The main piece is actually the reverse of the collections cover page, one thing I adore about 49 and Market designs is that nothing is wastage, even the cut off barcode strips have patterns or words to be used on the opposite side. "Quest" in the dark blue background paper and "At the Core" is the green central piece.

I have used the 4x6 frame from the Laser cut sheet with the gorgeous elastic string effect, however I cut my photo down and added a reverse piece of paper from the "At the Core" paper and added an array of different rub ons like the compass rose, arrows and We're going places words. I have then fanned out three smaller photos underneath and added the "Away we Go" chipboard sticker.

I have then used Washi tape on the bottom of the middle green section and rub on transfers at the top. I have then added some notepaper punched edges with the dark blue underneath to mimic the sketch adding some more rub ons as I go.

The ephemera stack pieces have been layered with frames, tags and "enjoy the Journey" along with some of the laser cut pieces. The love heart is from the Wishing bubbles and trinkets pack along with the three green epoxy dots on the left hand side to balance the composition of the green colour.
