Sweetest - 49 and Market

Hello everyone, today I would like to share a layout of my cheeky little grand daughter using the NEW ARToptions Alena range.

First I have used the "Flirty" paper as a background and cut a photo mat out of the middle from the back. Then used the "Full Bloom" paper cut down to 11.5" x 11.5", distressing each of the papers.

I have used two of the ephemera frames the Coral at the top left and the green at the bottom right.

Then cut around the butterfly in the background to lift up over the ephemera frame.

The chipboard pieces have been placed down the side of the photograph, adding the cutest little laser cut buttons complete with thread. I have layered some of the tickets from the ephemera pack and lace laser cut. Little pieces of the fabric tape has been added down the bottom left to balance the gorgeous green/blue colour.

Adding three little tags from the tag set and a little heart chipboard piece at the top of the photo. Butterfly rub on transfers have been added including the "you are Adored" which she is totally loved and adored !!

The stunning photo wrap has been added, however it was too wide so I have just snipped a little piece off.

Some more of the laser cuts have been added like the stamps and gorgeous iron work heart. The flowers have been shaped with foam tape underneath to add depth then three NEW little Salsa flowers.

Simply the BEST - 49 and Market

Hello everyone, today I have a layout of my gorgeous Kyden, we have a little ritual of after every hair cut he has I get to take a photo.

First I started with the Solids #1 paper and cut out a circle from the middle of the back before using it as a border piece. I have then cut a circle frame which I have machine stitched and added the reverse light blue paper onto a chipboard piece to add layers to the page. I have then cut the Peaceful Notions paper to 11.5 x 11.5 distressing edges of both papers, then adding some machine stitching around the edges.

Look at the amazing leaves in the laser cut set ! I have shaped them using a mouse pad and a pen then added liquid scrap dots behind them to keep the form then layered over the top of each other.

Lots and Lots of layers have been achieved with ephemera and laser cut pieces. I have added the washi tape to a piece of card and torn the pieces adding them to the layers. Two of the ephemera pieces I have put through my big shot with a Star embossing folder inking the edges.

Using chipboard pieces I have layered three of the arrow pieces topped with the book plate and the title "Simply the Best" and cute little laser cut button.
He is one of the BEST things in my life and brings lots of happiness and joy to so many.

The chipboard tag has been embellished with the ironwork key and some winged things.

I have used the "Best" from the 12x12 Sentiments rub ons onto a white piece of cardstock and fussy cut it out as to make it stand out by adding tape underneath to layer it. I have then added some more of the amazing leaf laser cuts layered across the bottom.
