You are my Song - 49 and Market Birdsong

 

Hello everyone, today I am sharing a layout of my sweet grand daughter who had her face painted "Mermaid" at a Gala day we went to. She absolutely loved it and the New Birdsong range is perfect to use for this project.



I started with the Essentials White Carstock and added the Birdsong Concerto 12x12 paper by tearing it at around 5.5 inches and added that to the bottom. Then another small 1.5" strip which I flipped over to the butterfly side and added it to the top of the page. 
To connect the pieces I have added the Stitching essentials rub on transfers.




I have then used a 6x8 piece of Birdsong paper as a photo mat to make the picture pop and added some of the Laser cut pieces like the frames and lace.






Using the amazing Essentials and Wildflower laser cuts and Ephemera pieces I have added layers and layers tucked into the paper along the bottom. 








Finishing off my page I have added a Rub on as a title "You are my Song" and some laser cut butterflies flying up off the page. 
TIP - sculpt your wings and add some foam tape underneath to look like they are 3D

Charming, Handsome and Mischievous - 49 and Market Rust and Revs

 

Charming, Handsome and Mischievous, this describes both my Nephew and Grandson to a T ! Especially the mischievous part when they are together. I took these photos on the way back from a Dirtbike show we went to for Mason's birthday called the "Freestyle Kings".
They both has a great time and loved the show.



The colours in the photo are just perfect for the Rust and Revs collection. I have started with the "Freedom" paper in the background as a frame and then trimmed 1/2 inch from the top of the "Discovery" paper. Instead of cutting some off of the side of the paper I have scored it and pleated the paper on the right hand side.



I then used Frames from the Die cut set and put pieces of the patterned paper behind the windows to look like the inside of a workshop behind the first photograph then added some wood panel and cactus on the side of the second photo.



The Laser cut elements have been layered with tyres, cogs and an old fashioned radiogram. 
The words Charming, Handsome and Mischievous are also from the Die cut pack. I have cut the white section from around the outside of the word then coloured in the white space with a pen to blend into the layout more. 



Washi tape pieces have been added underneath all of the gorgeous old cars which have been added with foam tape behind them to pop in some cactus pieces.  The compass rose has been added to the top right corner with chain and arrow laser cuts.
Finishing off the page are the epoxy wishing bubbles and baubles added to the frames and different parts of the layout.

Love This - 49 and Market Vintage Orchard

 

I have had this gorgeous photo of my oldest son for so long, just sitting unscrapped until the Vintage Orchard range hit my craft desk.




I started with the 12x12 Solids pack and cut a circle out of the middle of the page. 
 Then added the 12x12 Pear Tree patterned paper which I have trimmed to 11.5 x 11.5 to make a border around the edges. I cut the circle in half and added a semi circle on each side of the photo stack.





I have used acetate pieces, like the filmstrips and frames. The cutest little saying " Sweetest Apple in the Orchard " is also an acetate piece that I have added some white cardstock behind so you can see the pieces better.






I have done the same with this buck wheat signage but added the yellow behind the acetate piece then added a frame from the Stacked Frame set. Using the Elements and Wildflower laser cuts I have added leaves and images.






I have then added pieces from the Ephemera stacks and laser cuts layering tickets, lace and more.






The checkered patterned paper makes is easy to add some hand sewn cross stitches to the layout. 
To finish off my page I have added chipboard words plus wishing bubbles & bauble epoxy stickers.

Classic - Rust & Revs - 49 and Market

 

Hello and welcome to the blog today of my double layout of photos taken in New Zealand while travelling on a teaching trip with Janene from 49 and Market. This amazing "Vintage Cars Service Station" was so awesome with lots of different and interesting Cars and paranphanalia. 





I have started with the "Journey" and "Expedition" papers which added together create a double page.




I have then used Frames from the Die Cut set around some of the photographs and behind some of the others.





I have added two of the leather look pieces and rivets to the photo to make it look like it is hanging then added the "I'm not old, I'm a Classic" title.





Lots of the Laser Cuts and Die Cuts have been used together to layer in different spaces on the layouts.







Using the imagery on the paper I have added different elements to make it look 3D adding foam tape behind the pieces.







The BP Bouser is at the garage facility then surrounded by the laser cuts it fits perfectly with this amazing range. I have then added different rub on transfers around the double pages.
