49 and Market - Summer Layouts with the Willow Collection

 Hello! I have been back in the scrapbook room now that the summer baseball season has come to a close! I've been using the 49 and Market Willow collection. I'm a big fan of anything green so this was right up my alley!

The greens in this line are perfect for photos taken in the great outdoors. These fishing photos were mounted and popped up on some ephemera layers. The title was created from one of the Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Chipboard Titles. My friend Stacy was doing a demo at the Edmonton Creative Scrapbook Carnival, and challenged me to use it on a layout. This was a perfect place to put it. She did a bit of stamping on it and colored it with distress ink before adding a couple of layers of embossing powder. It's big and bold and I love it!

When we were fishing in Northern Saskatchewan in 2020, this beautiful moth was in our cabin. I had not scrapbooked these photos yet, and this paper was the perfect excuse to get them into the album! I cut out the outer border so that I could use the inside to mount the photos. I like to stretch my patterned paper this way, and you know it's going to be a perfect match. 

Lastly, I created cards, using the ephemera, frames and sentiments from Pinkfresh Studios Foiled Sentiment Pack and from Memory Box Foiled circles. I embellished with pieces from the 49 and Market Laser Cut Elements. These are so perfectly cut out!

Simple Stories Simple Vintage Meadow Flowers Layouts & Video!

 Hello friends! Karla back today to share the layouts I created in one of the Scrap Shotz' Thursday Live Demos using the beautiful Simple Stories Simple Vintage Meadow Flowers collection. This collection is so lovely for spring or summer with its soft colours and vintage feel, and could work for so many different occasions! You can follow along to see the process to create these layouts, which came together quickly and easily HERE!

I used two 12x12 backgrounds from the collection pack that had preprinted layers already, creating a quick and easy layout base.

I used the chipboard frames for my focal photos, sizing my pictures using my Canon Selphy.

There are so many beautiful stickers on the 12x12 sticker sheet included in the collection pack,plus lots of pretty ephemera and chipboard elements to add dimension.

I used Vicki Boutin stencils and Distress Oxide ink to add some subtle areas of stenciling, using coordinating colours.

I used the preprinted lines on the background paper to write my journaling directly on the background.

This paper was perfect for our trip to a local park for a nature hike and picnic on Canada Day!

I added some of the foam stickers, pretty 49 & Market flowers and various gems to finish it off!
