Adventure - 49 and Market

Hello there

Oh my, this new Collection called One Perfect Day designed by Joanne Baine is just beautiful. Here is my project I have created using this beautiful range,

The base of my layout is the paper called Tender Moments. I have then fussy cut the flowers from the paper called Beloved, and used the remaining paper to matt my photo. I have also used die cuts to add layers behind my photo which is added to the paper with foam tape. I have then added the fussy cut flowers to the top of the photo and to left side of the photo.
Cut the large window frame from the Die Cuts and place on either side of the photo. I then added various layers of the lasercuts from the Wildflowers pack.
Doing the same on the right side of the photo, adding the other half of the window, Wildflower lasercuts and adding the diecut heart.
I then also created a feature at the top left corner of the layout, using a diecut frame and the wording Adventure, and adding Wildflower lasercuts to create the cluster. To finish off I have added Citrus rubons to the page.

Although this is a wedding themed paper collection, I have shown here how this can be used also a non-wedding themed paper.

Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Hugs
Michelle

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

Merry Christmas - 49 & Market

Merry Christmas!

And just like that it's December! And fitting for today, I have done a layout using the Evergreen Season to celebrate Christmas

Paper 4 from the Evergreen Season Solid 12" x 12" collection pack, is the base for this layout. The bonus sheet from this same pack (back of the front cover) has been torn at angles, distressed slightly and then added to the Paper 4. I created a wreath for my photo frame, using the Chipboard circle frame from the Evergreen Season Chipboard Frames pack. I then covered it with pine leave laser cuts from both the large and the mini size elements laser cut packs, leaving a little opening on the left where the lasercut Santa has been added with foam tape. Add the frame with photo adhered to the paper with foam tape. I have done this to be able to tuck in the lasercut pine leaves and flowers.
I have used rubons pine leaves on either side of the circle top left and bottom right before layering the lasercut leaves and flowers.

 

Above and below close show there is rubons underneath and the lasercuts on top - lasercuts added with various thickness of foam tape to create dimension and depth.
I finished off adding a little acorn feature in the top right corner, using rubons and lasercut elements, adding the chipboard "Merry Christmas" from the Evergreen Season chipboard pack. I then added some rubons "splotches" from the rubon transfer sets and adding the words "the most wonderful time of the year" 

I would like to take this opportunity to wish a very Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and wishing yiu a happy and healthy 2025.

Thanks for visiting the 49 and Market blog today.

Hugs and festive wishes,
Michelle

Life is beautiful - 49 and Market

Hello!

Back today with another layout created with the gorgeous Birdsong Collection. Love this collection with all its beautiful array of colours and gorgeous elements.


I have used papers from the Birdsong 12 x 12 paper collection - the base is the reverse side of the Harmoneous Symphany paper and then the reverse side of the journal cards paper was torn down before adhering to the Harmoneous Symphany paper. The blue doily is from the Laser Cut Elements pack - which I sanded on the edges - cut in half and adhered at the top and the bottom of the torn edge.
The photos were all matted onto the frame cards found in the Ephemera bits pack - and adhered with foam tape for dimension. I have added some rubons on the side from the essentials rubon pack.
The lacey bit is from the lasercut elements adhered under the photos. I then added lots of wildflower lasercuts around the top and bottom of the photos - using foam dots to add dimension. I added the little paper "bull dog" clips from the lasercut elements pack.
I also added a "ribbon bow" and the title "Life is beautiful" from the lasercut elements pack, as well as adding the bird cage and the little bird in the left bottom corner.

I finished off adding some lasercut butterflies and the rubon quote "this is better than any fairytale"

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Hugs,
Michelle

Family Moments - 49 and Market Cottage Core

Hello lovelies

And another gorgeous collection from 49 and Market - CottageCore. I am so in love with the colours in this collection. 

I started with the paper called "Memories" from the 12x12 Paper Collection pack, and inked the edges of the page. There are gorgeous frames in the Laser Die Cuts pack in different shades of greens and browns as well as different sizes. I used two frames to mat my photo, as well as a recipe card from the Recipe Card pack. I also used a the top part of a cupboard and a tag - all from the Laser Die Cuts pack. I added the zigzag (also inked) from the Lasercut elements pack before adding my photo matt with foam tape to the page. 
I then began adding blendable rubon transfers around the matted photo. Cutting bits out, and then rubbing them on top of each or next to each other to create dimension behind the photo. 
In the left bottom corner of the photo frame I have added a pot plant from the Lasercut elements and the spoons from the Lasercut Kitchen elements.
In the top right corner I created a hanging garden feature, using foam tape. The quote "memories to treasure and keep" is from the ephemera pack, added with foam tape and using the stars from the Wishing Bubbles pack. I have added the title using the two words "family" and "moments" - inked and added with foam tape (isn't that ephemera apron just the cutest?)
I have added rubon transfer splotches around from the blendable transfer pack.

Products used:
Cottagecore 12x12 Collection pack
Cottagecore 6x12 Blendable rubons
Cottagecore Die Cut Elements 
Cottagecore Laser cut Elements
Cottagecore Laser cut kitchen elements
Cottagecore Recipe Card pack
Cottagecore Wishing Bubbles epoxy stickers

Hope you enjoy this gorgeous collection as much as I do!
