Dreams - 49 and Market

Hello lovelies

Omg - Starlight Dreams is just stunning! Today, I am sharing my layout "Dreams" created with this brand new collection.

Cut down the Solid paper no 1, to 10" x 10", ink the edges with a gold ink pad. Adhere this piece to the paper called Magical with flower side up. From here I have layered stripes of Washitape across the centre of the paper. I have picked 2 frames from the Die Cut Elements to fit my photo, framed the photo with one and used the other one just off centre and adhered to the page with foam tape in the centre, so that I could layer the Lasecut Ephemera and Die Cut Frames between the two photo frames.

I have layered Die Cuts and Laser Cuts to both the top left and bottom right corner, using different thickness of foam tape for dimension.

I have used stars and cosmic arrow shapes to add some extra effects - using gold stickles to colour these. I have added a Chipboard title Dreams and the saying Hold Fast to your Dreams from the Lasercut pack. I have also added butterflies - and clear stickles to their wings. I also added some Blendable Rubons to the bottom corners.

Thank you for popping over to visit the blog today.

Hugs,

Michelle

My Whole World - 49 and Market

Hello!

I had such fun creating a layout with this new Collection "Toddler Time" - there are just so many lovely details - with the children, the cats, the dogs and children toys - so adorable! And the colors are such fun!

I have used the inside cover of the 12 x 12 collection pack to create the layout, which I cut down to 11.75" x 11.75" and adhered this to Paper no 4 from the 12 x 12 Solids paper pack. The photo was then matted using Die Cuts. I used a frame over the photo from the Lasercut Elements pack. I then added an envelope from the Die Cut pack and cut into it so that photo (4"x6") could fit, adhering this to the paper with foam tape. I then used a smaller envelope from the Wildflower Lasercut pack and also cut this so the photo (2"x3") could fit, and adhered this with foam tape off the side of the photo but in such a way that the flowers from the envelope lasercut was placed over the bigger photo. I cut a doily (Lasercut elements) in half and adhered with thin foam tape on either side of the photo cluster. 

From here I made a flower cluster using the Wildflower lasercuts adding with foam tape to create dimension, and the bow from the Elements Lasercuts. How cute is this sunny rubon that is added to the corner of the layout? The words "Sweet Life" is from the chipboard pack.

I added a flower cluster on the opposite side with the larger envelope - also using foam tape on the flowers and the leaves. And of course, I couldn't resist the kitties and had to add this to my layout. 

I have finished off using some washi tape wording down the side and adding "rub-on splatters"

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Hugs,

Michelle

Cottage Core Mini Album - 49 and Market

Hi 49 and Market fans

Hope you all had a good Holiday. Wishing you a fabulous, healthy and prosperous 2025.

I am on the blog today with a mini album created using the Cottage Core Range - using the Cottage Core Foundations Binder that comes with the range, already with the pages and pocket sleeves - all you have to do is embellish it. I have used the 6"x8" Collection pack of papers to cover the pages - as these fit perfectly - no need to measure and cut.

I had such fun putting this together. I created the cover with a mix of lasercut elements and die cuts, as well as using Nature's Bounty Cream flowers. I have done a mixture of recipe pages and photo pages and then also some fun bits. Like the 4 page pockets included with the album.

I have made use of the lasercut elements and created features like food and the furniture, adding these to the pages with foam tape to create some dimension.

Above photo on the left is two flats, and lifting the tag that has "yum yum" on it reveals and full frame inside for a photo or a recipe.

Above collage top row - shows the 4 pocket plastic sheet included in the Cottage Core Album - and I have made 4 little features for each on the front and the back. The Cottage Core paper Treasured in the 12 x 12 pack, has 12 cards that can be cut to fit these pocket sizes. The bottom two photos is one of the smaller pages in the album, which I embellished, and closed it that I created a pocket with it to insert a tag.

There are even one single pocket sleeves like the top right, where I have added a photo - this is my daughter and Daddy baking a cake together 💕There are individual recipe cards that come in a pack ideal for making this mini album a beautiful recipe book. The bottom right photo is a 3 pocket sleeve also included in the album.

Above are more ideas in the album. There are many more pages and plastic sleeves in the album than what I have showed here - this is just a sample and ideas of what can be done in the album.

Hope you enjoyed looking through the pages.

Hugs,

Michelle
