Hey lovely’s ,

sharing my very first layout with the bran new sun kissed collection as soon as I seen this beautiful bright colourful collection on my desk I knew those flowers had to be fussy cut .

Something about the waves crashing on these rocks had me , the swirling of the water it just made me want to take a photo to remember that moment..

I started with white cardstock and using the wood grain pattern paper from the paper pad

I cut a strips and cut on shorter then the other and made them into tags and glued them down in the middle on both sides

Added brads and twine to tie them together and added my photo backed with pattern paper from the paper pad

Then fussy cut a bunch of flowers from growing wild pattern paper to add around the 2 tags and my photo

Then I tucked ephemera and stickers in the top of the photo and added some to the bottom of my photo. I also added some palm trees, one to the side of the photo and one on the other side of the layout

Then I cut 2 strips of just chillin and punched a decorative border on the edges and added them to the top and bottom of layout then I fussy cut out more flowers and added them to the strips to tie it all in , then the little flowers from the growing wild pattern paper to add around the clusters of flowers

And to finish off the layout I used the clear stickers to add something on the edges of the 3 main clusters of flowers.

And a few little phrase stickers at the bottom of the layout.

I hope you have enjoyed my inspiration today

Happy crafting..xx

Hey lovely’s !

today sharing a sweet floral layout using the daydream collection and this months Mood board with all the sweet dreamy colours to choose from so I pulled out the Kraft cardstock to match the coffee and the rest of the colours from around the mood board and of cause I added a photo of my cute fluffy boy sleeping ..

So I started with Kraft cardstock and a paw print 🐾 stencil and used white ink and just used a blender to add the ink. Then I added some light pink paint by just quickly brushing across the cardstock trying not to put it on too thickly then I used a light blue to flick around the cardstock along with some white and rose gold..

Then I matted my photo on sweet serenity to layer behind then I tucked a few bits of ephemera , doily and a few accessory stickers around my photo and my chipboard title from (bohemian dream ) I think .....

I wanted to add the title before I started adding my title so everything would fit in place.

Then using happy place I add a strip down the left hand side then tucked a doily and little strip from sweet serenity that I punched a little decorative punch and a little piece from the ephemera.

Then I pulled out a few dies and used happy place, daisy days, sun shower , all a flutter to make a bunch of flowers big and small and a few leaves.

And to add more white in the background I die cut sprigs and tucked them in underneath and around the flowers and leaves ,

For the center’s I use enamel dots and buttons all in white to add that shabby look and just placed them diagonally across the page in 3 clusters to draw the eye across the page ...

I finished the page off with some glitter gel painted on the flowers just to add some shimmer..

I hope you have enjoyed my mood board inspiration today

Happy crafting..

Beautiful You Layout

Hi lovely’s ,

sharing a floral layout mixing 2 collections together day dream and merry and bright using a photo of our Luna sleeping on my chair in the craft room and I often find her asleep on my chair she likes the craft room as it’s quiet and a great place to just chill out..

You know me ..white cardstock first then I was thinking with this layout I wanted to add some mixed media

To the background so I used the plastic package technique and kissed light pink paint and peach watercolour to the background across the page and let it dry before adding a stenciled modelling paste across it

Then I flicked white watered down paint and did the same with rose gold to add a bit more colours in the background, I kept it light as I didn’t want the background to take away from the foreground I just wanted it to blend

Then I matted background on all aflutter and machine stitched around the boarder then I matted my photo on papers from day dream 6x8 and tucked in some stickers from the accessory stickers from day dream in the top of the photo layers and adhered my photo in the center of the layout..

Then I started cutting out my flowers using joy to the world pattern paper and for the leaves I used oh Christmas tree , count down and sun shower to make my clusters. Using a white pen I added so detail to the flowers and just bent them up a bit to add dimension and layered them with a enamel dots in the center’s to finish them off

And I bent up the leaves just to add more dimension to look more like flowers instead of them being flattened out

And then I clustered them on 2 sides of my photo and finish off the layout with a few ephemera butterflies from the day dream ephemera pack and a few drops of liquid pearls I rose gold.

I hope you have enjoyed my floral inspiration today

happy holidays and happy crafting lovely’s

Hi crafty friends,

sharing my first layout of the new year using day dream collection

My photo is of my kitty enjoying the morning sun in front of the window this was before we decided that all that fluff needed to be shaved off ... and yep he wasn’t happy about losing his fluff!!

I started off by trimming a 12x12 by 5 inch strip from sweet serenity and machine stitching around the edges then I cut 2 more little strips 1 inch by 12x12 from sweet serenity then using daisy days I cut 2 more strips 12x12 by inch and then with all the little strips I punched a border on each of them

Then I matted my photo on papers from the 6x8 paper pad ( you can substitute the 6x8 for the 12x12 using all aflutter and sun shower ) I then tucked a the circle ephemera piece behind the photo that I fussy cut around the edges.

Using garden variety pattern paper I fussy cut out a bunch of flowers and started adding flowers around the bottom of my photo along with flowers from the ephemera pack that I fussy cut around to match the rest of the fussy cut flowers

I added ephemera around my photo and more clusters of flowers around the photo and to the right side of the layout I also added some other bits from the ephemera, butterflies and my title then finished off with hearts around the flower clusters and enamel dots in the center’s of the fussy cut flowers..

merry Christmas layout

2020-12-24T08:11:00.001+10:00

Hi crafty friends,

sharing another Christmas layout using the Go the Scenic Route collection
I like using different colours for Christmas I think it’s fun and changes it up from the traditional colours plus it gives me a reason to get creative with florals but then again who needs a reason lol!!...

Starting with a white background using white cardstock i then backed it with Paper 24 then next using my cameo I cut out CHRISTMAS TREE 335742 cut file using Paper 16 and adhered it down in the center of my background I then matted my photo on paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad and a white doily behind and then tucked some Ephemera Die Cuts in the right hand side to add colour and layers.

Then I started clustering Floral Die Cuts and fussy cut flowers from Paper 18 around my photo sticking to the same colours

And to add a little dimension to the main floral cluster I add a chipboard hear in the center of the flower then added a sub title from the Puffy Phrase Thickers

And the I wanted a colourful title using the Puffy Word Stickers , I chose colours from the florals and add them along the side of the tree

Then I decided on a third cluster of flowers to create a visual triangle so it draws the eye across the page

I then fussy cut more flowers from Paper 18 and to finish off the layout I added a few rhinestones , a flick of white paint from my stash..

I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas inspiration today happy crafting ..

Card and Tree ornament

2020-12-16T22:00:00.002+10:00

Hi crafty friends,

sharing a card and ornament created with the Go the Scenic Route I absolutely love creating Christmas crafts all the shine and glitter just adore it...

For my first card I wanted to use one of Paige’s SNOWFLAKES BACKGROUND 337747 cut file and use it as a stencil and foiled the background because who doesn’t love a bit of shiny goodness

Then I machine stitched around the border and added to a pink cardstock base

Then using the MUG 336960 cut file I used my Silhouette Cameo 3 and white cardstock and then I backed the little snowflake on the mug with Paper 10 then using some vellum I backed the main cup piece and then using pattern paper from the 6x8 paper pad I then offset the mug cut file and removed some pieces so I could cut the background of the mug. Then I finished backing the rest of the mug using paper from the 12x12 Paper Pad , Paper 14 , Paper 1 and Paper 16 and to finish off the card I added Enamel Dot in the middle of the snowflake and some glitter glue to the snowflake and gingerbread man.

And now my tree ornament I created using MITTENS 335745 cut file that I backed with Paper 16 , Paper 22

I left the background behind the poinsettia and backed it with clear plastic added vellum behind then machine stitched around the edges leaving a little opening to add some sequins and glitter then machine stitched it closed added some twine underneath a Chipboard Stickers in the center of the poinsettia with a Enamel Dot in the center of the flower

I used a hole punch and added a eyelet to add some string and a charm and popped it on the tree.

I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas inspiration today happy crafting ..

Hey crafty friends,

sharing a Christmas layout using the merry and bright collection

Each year I like to take a bunch of close ups of new little Christmas ornaments hanging on the tree I think it always great to document because we don’t always decorate our tree the same each year but I’m totally in love with these cute heart ornaments...

I chose another I created and decided to scrap lift myself and this gives you the opportunity to use the same design but with different products and colours

So I started off with my white cardstock background and pulled out some pattern paper from the 6x8 I then trimmed a strip off one side then using a border punch I punched 2 decorative edges on both pieces and added the on opposite sides of the background then using the pink pattern paper from the 6x8 I cut another 2 strips just a little shorter and tucked them just underneath the first bits of pattern paper

Then I matted my photo on more pattern paper from the 6x8 and added a doily behind to add softness and texture then I adhered it down on the right hand side just overlapping both bits of pattern paper then next I pulled out a bunch of ephemera die cuts and tucked them in the photo layers and clustering them on the right hand side of the photo I then add my title and sub title thickers and a accessory stickers

I then added another cluster of ephemera and flowers on the left hand side and added the puffy gold stars in the clusters and on top of the Christmas tree to add a gold touch then to finish it off i did some stamping with some tiny stars with gold , added some gold threads to my tag and a few pearls from my stash in the Centre’s of the flowers.

Happy holidays everyone I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas inspiration today...

everyday fun and adventure layout

2020-10-13T00:00:00.001+10:00

Hi there crafty friends,

sharing a layout using go the scenic route collection full of beautiful bright colours so for my layout I’m using a photo of my youngest daughter when she was younger... still can’t believe she’s going to be 16 this month...yikes lol well anyway I decided on this envelope to start with then wanted florals to be around it.

I started of with a design in mind using my Silhouette Cameo 3 and cutting out all the ,FLOWER 276425, LAYERED FLOWER 328337, LEAF 330593 cut files in white cardstock and then using the 12x12 Paper Pad and 6x8 Paper Pad to cut out the ENVELOPE 278651 for the centerpiece of my design.

I backed the flowers with with 2 different shades of yellows and pinks for the flower petals to go from light to dark

You probably wouldn’t notice it but that was my idea to do shades of colour around the layout.

And I thought wouldn’t it be fun to mix up the colours of the leaves since we are enjoying spring and the other side of the world is enjoying autumn I absolutely adore both seasons. Well back to my layout I used the 12x12 Paper Pad andPaper Pad ,Paper 7 , Paper 8 ,Paper 16 to add more colours.

And started adhering them around the ENVELOPE 278651 as I liked the idea of tucking in the photo in the top of the open envelope with flowers and leaves tucked around the envelope and then I add my title using the Puffy Word Stickers and Puffy Phrase Thickers and adhered them around the top of all my flowers and leaves.

And I add another floral that I have leftover from my last layout I add it to the bottom of my envelope clustered on top of the other floral to add another pop of yellow and pink and as I didn’t have a Chipboard Stickers mini circle I add a brad in the same dark pink colour..then it was time to add my photo layered with ephemera tucked behind into the envelope to one side and I finished of the layout by adding a few of those little puffy dots that come from the Puffy Word Stickers.

I hope you have enjoyed my pretty floral inspiration today happy crafting ..

Hi there crafty friends,
sharing my first layout using the beautiful bright Go the Scenic Route
Collection it’s just perfect with all the colours and floral designs. So my layout today features our kitty Luna who loves to sleep odd...But really what kitty doesn’t it seems to be their thing most of the day, but I absolutely love getting photos of her .

I started with cutting out the HEART CONFETTI BACKGROUND 288399 in with my Silhouette Cameo 3 using white cardstock then adhered it on pattern paper from the 12x12 Paper Pad and Paper 6 then using the LAYERED FLOWER AND LEAF 319449,LAYERED FLOWER AND LEAF 319453, LAYERED FLOWER 328337 cut files I cut out 2 different flower sizes in 2 colours using the 12x12 Paper Pad and light and dark blue leaves and arranged them across the bottom of the layout and a few at top left hand side.

I then matted my photo strip on paper from the 12x12 Paper Pad and tucked Ephemera Die Cuts and stickers to add to layers and colour using a mini heart punch I added mini hearts in the center’s of the flowers along with a few chipboard hearts in the same colour from the Chipboard Stickers

I then add my title using the beautiful coloured Foam Thickers and a few butterflies from the Ephemera Die Cuts and Cardstock Stickers then next I punched out a few little flowers to add pops of colour around the clusters of flowers. And to finish off the layout by tucking a few little flowers and leaves from the Floral Die Cuts.

I hope you have enjoyed my pretty floral inspiration today happy crafting ..

Sweet Dream layout

Hi there crafty friends, sharing a layout with the rainbow theme for this week how super cute is the rainbow paper from the new Day Dream collection ,I know the design team girls have fallen in love with it and the floral pattern paper just absolutely beautiful when I sat down to start my layout looking at the rainbow just sparked a image in my head a hot air balloon floating in the sky with little clouds over a rainbow and I’m really happy how it turned out...

I started by fussy cutting out the rainbow from the over the rainbow pattern paper and then added machine stitching to each and adhered it down on white card stock for my background then I cut out the hot air balloon and clouds using cut files from @neatncraftycutz and backed the hot air balloon with papers from the 6x8 paper pad. I then machine stitched around each cloud to add a bit of texture.

Then next I fussy cut out the flowers from garden variety pattern paper and starting adding them around the layout on the balloon and clouds , I even fussy cut the smallest flowers to add a sprinkle of flowers around the floral clusters. I matted my photo on papers from the 6x8 and tucked a few bit of ephemera and accessory stickers around to add more layers and colour

I added a title from the die cut titles then some ephemera around the background, on the clouds and hot air balloon to finish it off.

I hope you have enjoyed my inspiration today

Happy crafting..xx

Hi crafty friends,

sharing a layout using Bloom Street to create this pretty floral design. It’s spring here in Australia and our peach blooms are out it’s my favorite time of the year flowers are out bees are buzzing and butterflies are doing their thing!! It’s all beautiful...

I started with white cardstock and trimmed it down and then using decorative scissors I added a scallop boarder to 2 sides before adhering it down on pattern paper from the 12x12 Paper Pad then I simply just machine stitched around the border of the layout to add that pretty texture

Then using my Silhouette Cameo 3 I cut out the MOTHS 329482 on white cardstock ,The TROPICAL LEAF 325994 using Paper 04 , LAYERED FLOWER AND LEAF 319453 with Paper 09 and 12x12 Paper Pad. Next I matted my photo on paper from the 12x12 Paper Pad and 6x8 Paper Pad and placed it in the middle of my layout and started tucking a little tag made with the 2x2 Paper Pads , Ephemera Die Cuts and adding Cardstock Stickers around my photo

Then I added the LAYERED FLOWER AND LEAF 319453 and the TROPICAL LEAF 325994 to 2 corners of my photo once placed I punched little flowers from Paper 14 to add more yellow to the background then I backed the MOTHS 329482 from paper from the 12x12 Paper Pad and added them in 2 corners to add a pretty element to the layout

Then I finished off the layout by adding a few more little flowers fussy cut from Paper 12 and added a few stickers from the 4-Page Sticker Book

Happy Days layout

Hi crafty friends,

sharing my first layout using the beautiful new DayDream collection it’s so pretty with all the flowers just makes you wanna fussy cut them all out!!...

I started off by fussy cutting out the garden variety pattern paper to add florals to my background because who can’t resist that beautiful paper then next I chose 3 patterned papers Sun shower , Sweet Serenity, Happy Place and cut a strip from each to layer them on top of each other . I used decorative scissors to add a scalloped edge to 2 of the strips and some machine stitching.

Then I matted my photo on pattern paper from the 6x8 and frame from the ephemera pack and then I tucked a cut apart beside my photo and added a geo heart cut file that I embossed with a embossing folder to add texture behind

Then I added more fussy cut flowers around my photo along with die cuts from the ephemera pack

To finish it off I added my title from the ephemera pack and a flair button.

I hope you have enjoyed my inspiration today and I hope you are having as much fun with this new collection

Happy crafting..
