Happiness || Scrapbook Layout || Cocoa Vanilla Studio 'Wild At Heart'

Hi all,

I have a layout to share today using the Wild At Heart collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio, as well at the Gypsy Gypsy paper pad by Craft Consortium.

I chose to use a generic selfie of Nathan and I. I noticed there is a little green in the photo which perfectly matched this butterfly print paper.

I wanted to find a new way of using chipboard frames so I cut squares of watercolour print paper and squares of rub ons and then stuck the frames on top.
Of course I had to use gesso and the packaging technique on the background too.

Thanks for stopping by!

23 || Scrapbook Layout || Maggie Holmes 'Carousel'

Hi all..

May I present my favourite scrapbook layout EVER?!

We took these cute selfies in York on my birthday... I chose my three favourites for this page. I used the same filter on all of them so they all had this lovely golden hue.

I used the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes 'Carousel' collection for this page.... I loved layering the ephemera together. The backing paper is from the Maggie Holmes 'Shine' paper pad.
There's a little bit of mixed media on the background and I made this using gesso and the packaging technique with watercolours.

Hands up if you can spy the little Pusheen!

Thanks for stopping by!

WKND || Scrapbook Layout || Crate Paper Oasis

Hi all,

I have a layout to share today that I'm super excited about....

I finally got to scrap a pool photo!

One of my favourite scrappers is Missy Whidden and she uses a lot of pool photos. I don't have any. Until my lovely cousin came round and said her phone is waterproof. On came Snapchat... and we were away! 

I mostly used the Crate Paper 'Oasis' collection for this layout, plus a little mixed media.

Thanks for stopping by!

Life Is So Sweet || Scrapbook Layout || Crate Paper Carousel

Hi all,

I've been trying to catch up on my scrapbooking before a) I start my new job and b) Christmas crafting begins. 

Here is a layout using the Crate Paper/Maggie Holmes 'Carousel' collection. 

I loved the background paper and wasn't sure how to use it, but then I decided to fill the negative space with my photo and the gorgeous ephemera. 

Thanks for stopping by!
