Hello lovelies

I just cannot resist this Little Dreamers/Little Celebrations collections, and have created another layout

The base of the layout is reverse side of the Little Dreamers paper Tiny Treasures. Tearing about an inch off the Little Celebrations/Little Dreams solid paper no. 4 (cut a circle mat for the photo in the middle first), adhere that to the Tiny Treasures paper. Again tearing the Little Dreamers Over the Moon paper and adhere this on top of the solids paper. There is a moon with flowers in the Little Dreamer Laser Cut Elements, which I have adhered behind the photo matt, and adhered this with thick foam tape to the paper. 
From there I began layered laser cut flowers and leaves from the Little Celebrations Laser Cut Set. And adding the little animals and the light bulbs from the Little Dreamers Laser Cut Set.

I then added rubons from the Little Dreams Rubon Transfer set - the clouds and rainbow, then added the title "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" from the Little Dreamer Chipboard Words, and adding the Teddy and balloons from the Little Dreamer Laser Cut Set.
I finished off adding the sleeping fox at the top and the rubon stars.

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Hugs,
Michelle

All things grow better with love - 49 and Market

Hello, 49 and Market Fans

Today, I'm showing another creation using the One Perfect Day collection. 

I have used One Perfect Day Tender Moments paper for the base of my layout. I have then cut 4" x 6" pieces from Solid paper 2 and Solid paper 3, distressed and sanded the edges and layered these behind the photo. I then adhered the base paper with foam tape. Cutting the window frame from the Laser Cut Element set in half, each half was added on either side of the photo.
I then added layers of Laser Cut Wildflowers using tweezers to get these under the window frames and using foam tape to create dimension.
From the Die Cut Elements, I then added various tags between the matting, at the top and below the photo. I have also added Die Cut Elements among the flower laser cut elements.
The title "All things grow better with love" is a chipboard word. I have finished off adding some bits of rubons transfers.

Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Hugs,
Michelle

Miracle - 49 and Market

Hello lovelies

Oh my - how cute are these latest ranges Little Dreamers and Little Celebrations! Here is my layout using a mixture of both ranges:

Aww - isn't this just the cutest? My base page is the Little Celebrations Faded Memory paper from the 12 x 12 Collection pack of papers. I then used the inside cover of the Little Celebrations Lasercut sheet for the frames and the script piece as the matting layers behind my photo. The script piece was cut in half, and the edges distressed.  
I have then started layering around the photo with Lasercut flowers from the Little Celebrations and the cute little animals from the Little Dreamers Lasercuts. I added the little heart from the Little Dreamers Chipboard pieces, as is the title "Miracle" and the wording "you are so loved". 
I have added these gorgeous balloons - and added a bow for extra dimension - all Lasercuts
I added this cute sleeping fox from the Little Dreamers Lasercuts and the leaves, flowers, and bulbs from the Little Celebrations Lasercuts. 
The banner and the cot are also Lasercuts - and I just love the little birds. I have finished off adding some star rub-ons from the Little Dreamers Rub-on transfers, and tearing some pieces at the top and bottom of the paper, and added a 6" x 8" paper from the 6" x 8" Little Dreamers paper pack.

Thank you for visiting the blog today!

Michelle

You're Simply the Best - 49 & Market

Hello 49 and Market Fans

Dennis Bruton has blown us away again with Rust and Revs 2.0, and the elements in this collection are truly amazing! Here is my project I have created using this gorgeous collection:

I have used the Rust and Revs Steadfast paper as the base for my layout, and then torn the reverse side of the Tenacious paper and adhered this to the Steadfast page. Both the Steadfast and the Tenacious paper come from the 12 x 12 Paper Collection. Then I used the reverse side of Solids paper no 4 from the Solids 12 x 12 paper pack and tore this a little smaller than the Tenacious paper and adhered this. The photo is matted on the same Solids paper but on the brown side and the paper has been distressed before I adhered the photo. I have layered chipboard frames from the Chipboard Set under the photo. These are just amazing! Before adhering this, I placed this on the page for placing so I could work out where to add the rub-ons (the film strip type rub-on and solid corners). Then I added a strip of the checked fabric washi tape, adding the brown and blue rub-ons, before adhering the photo and frames. 
I then added the tags under either side of the photo (distressing the edges) - these are from the Die-cut Elements pack, adding the "rope" and title "You're Simply the Best" from the Laser Cut Element Set. 
I have also added rub-on cogs and numbers

The "leather" straps holding the photo are from the Laser Cuts elements page. To create the leather effect, I have scrunched these up and then sanded them, adding them with a bit of a bend to the page and the photo.

This collection is amazing - there are so many gorgeous elements - like the cars and the BBQ elements - it makes a perfect collection for the boys!

All mine and I love it - 49 and Market

Hello lovelies

Oh wow, wow ...  aren't we lucky to have Vicki Boutin designing for 49 and Market? This new collection the Flower Emporium is just so lovely and has such fun elements to create with. Here is a layout I have created using this new collection

I chose the typed page from the 12 x 12 paper pad, tore the top and bottom corners and added the orange side of the Staples paper 4 under this.  I layered the photo with some laser cut lace and some ephemera pieces and adhered this off to the left of the page. 
I did a flower cluster on the bottom right of the photo using laser cut pieces - how cute is the flower bouquet and it slips into the bouquet holder - especially cut to hold the flowers! I have layered other laser cut flowers and acetate leaves from the foiled die-cut assortment and added rub on transfers, 

I added the paper rope knot from the laser cutsand the tag with some laser cut wording and puffy sticker hearts. Then added the wheelbarrow laser cut to the left of the photo using foam dots and added a laser cut flower to the top as if it was in the wheelbarrow. I have also added more rub ons and acetate leaves. 
I created a flower cluster to the top right of the page using laser cut flowers, vellum and acetate leaves from the foiled die-cut assortment, finishing it off with rub ons.
I used a fine-tipped black pen and drew around words on the background paper - like love and happiness above. I added the title All Mine and I love it from the rub ons and also hand drew frame around this with the fine tip pen.

This is such a fun collection and I hope you enjoy creating with it as much as I have.

Hugs,
Michelle

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.

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 đŸ’•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
