"Authenic" 49 and Market

Hello everyone

I am here with you today to share a little boy layout of my amazing Grandson (every Nanny, Nana, Grandmother in the world has the best Grandbabies) He is two and a half and full of wonderment, intrigue, and like a true little person into everything, soaking in all the information around him that he can get.

Authentic by Jen Burns

I started with Paper #4 of the Vintage Artistry in Color Collectors Edition Vol 1 and cut an 8x8 inch square out of the back to use to matt my photographs as well as be the backing sheet of my layout. I then cut 1cm off each of the side and bottom of Paper #2 so I had a half-centimeter border around the outside. I have then distressed both papers around the edges and adhered them together.

The Wedgewood Layered embellishment pack has this stunning circular foliage piece which is what I have used in the centre composition on my page. I have layered some of the laser cut notebook edge and envelopes together and put under my middle main photo. Using foam tape so I could still add things underneath I stuck my matted photos down loosely, then added a lot of the laser cut paper leaves at the bottom section of the foliage circle along with some tags and cute little nest stamp.

** Tip, if you don’t have an embossing tool and core mat, just use a pen and mouse pad to add shape and dimension to your paper elements with a little ink around the edges to add a contrast **

The little clusters on the sides of the layout are also from the laser cut sheets with added rub-ons and some of the pieces popped up with foam tape. I have then added some more of the layered embellishment leaves along with some of the Sky Wishing Bubbles and Bauble pieces “you Shine” and “free Spirit” which suit him to a T.

I absolutely love love love the Rub-Ons, I have added lots from the Sky / Navy collection, the stitching, watercolour marks, striped strips, little love hearts, doily, and all those amazing beads. The metal arrow on the top of the middle photo is from the soon to be shipping NEW Shaped Paperclips (Dark Greige), to finish off my page I have used the “authentic” word from the Essentials Washi strips, the new washi comes in shapes and words and one whole sheet on the other side to be used as you like.

Absolutely Beautiful


Hello everyone

Today I am sharing a layout of my gorgeous little Grand Daughter, 2020 was her first Christmas and because she nearly 11 months old she was full of fun and mischief. She is such a happy baby, she was not well in these photo’s but let us do a little photo shoot all the same, of course I knew exactly what range to use as soon as I printed them out. Vintage Artistry Blush. 

 


I started with the Soaring paper, trimming around the butterflies wings to shape and pop over the photos,  along with the amazing laser cuts, to shape the laser cuts you can use a mouse pad and a pen if you don’t have a push pad and scoring tool. Layer the flowers using either foam tape or liquid scrap dots, moulding the petals as you go.

 


I have used pieces from the Blush Ephemera stack behind the photos and the frames from the laser cuts sheets around the photos. Using the doily piece from the laser cuts I have made a mini embellishment for my “Happy” title.

 

After layering all of the flower and  larger die cuts, I added some of the sequin and beads laser cuts then used a lot of the gorgeous new Duo coloured pack of Blush/Sage Rub-ons, these are so easy to apply and add another layer onto your pages.

 

The new Wishing Bubbles and Baubles pack have gorgeous layered embellishments, bauble sayings and cute shapes which I have added to finish off my page along with a sprinkling of the Mini series Scarlet flowers.

Love you to the Moon and Back - 49 and Market

 Hello everyone, hope you are all having an amazing start to 2021. Did you see that we now that 49 and Market have an amazing Sketch challenge every month with two prizes ? I will add it to the bottom of my post because I really want to show you the spectacular NEW Vintage Artistry range named BLUSH is, plus there are NEW Rub-on packs with two colours included, in this case it is the Blush/Sage set. Each pack has six sheets of different designs which include doilies, stitching, words, flowers, foliage, butterflies, those gorgeous little beads and much more.

 



This is a layout of my amazing Grand daughter ("The Princess"), she is the first girl born in our side of the family since me, so lots of years! How perfect are her clothes, headband and blanket she is sitting on for this new pretty dazzling range.

I started out using the Sage paper range "Papillion", adding  Gabi's Line stitch stamp in Petunia Ink to  the top left hand corner.  Two Sage stitched frames where chosen which one I have used around one of  the photographs and the other I have added clear acetate to the reverse of it then put on a selection of Rub-ons under the frame onto the paper then on top of the acetate to create a window illusion.



To a  second piece of acetate I  added a Sage doily Rub on and layered this under the right hand photo with some of the Ephemera stack pieces, I love the  opaque look this gives so you can still see the pieces underneath, I have also added the Washi strips to the chipboard hearts to colour them.


 


The shutter window has a piece of the ephemera stack behind it with the foliage and flower rub-ons placed so it looks like they are outside, try the rub-ons everywhere.  I have added them to the chipboard heart as well to add dimension and they are ever so pretty. The Lacey white trim has been gathered and added underneath both photo frames.



To finish off my page I have added an array of the amazing die-cuts, to shape them and give volume I just used a mouse pad and embossing tool (you can even use a pen), I adore all of the laser cuts, they are so delicate and fine, the Scarlet mini flowers are perfect for this Blush range, then of course I added more Rub-ons, those little beads are just gorgeous and the vine coming out from behind the flower cluster.
