Love this Life - 49 and Market Kaleidoscope

 Hello and welcome to the blog today. 

My gorgeous grand daughter turned 4 in January and we went to AQWA which is an Underwater Sea place. They had a real life Mermaid show that she just adored.  When we saw the AI booth where you can take a photo and make it into a Mermaid we just HAD to do it, out of about 30 different mermaid underwater and beach scenes, Rivah chose this one. 
Kaleidoscope range looks like it was created just for this photo. 

I started with the 12x12 Solids paper #1 as a background then added the Treasured Teal paper after taking a 1/4 inch from each side and distressing the edges. I have also cut a piece out of the middle of the Solids paper and used as a photo mat for the photograph that I added some cardboard underneath for dimension. 

The Blendable rub ons have been used in the top and bottom corners to add some background interest. Then I have used the Essentials Stitching rub ons to the top on each side. 

Laser Cuts from the Essentials and Wildflower packs have been used for layers and layers of dimension. I have used foam tape under some pieces like the hummingbird.

Epoxy Wishing Bubbles and Baubles have been added to tie elements altogether and add some shine, gloss to the page.

The bottom cluster was made with a blendable rub on, laser cut pieces and the little pebble "Love this Life" that I have used to name my layout with added little epoxy love hearts.

Motorcross Boy - 49 and Market

 

Hello everyone, today I have a layout using the NEW Color Swatch Charcoal range of my little 5year old Grand son on a Motor Cross open day. The Fluro Green of his clothes add a pop of colour to the page and make the photos the focal points.

I started with the 12x12 Collection pack and used Paper #5 as the base and inked all of the edges. Paper #4 I cut to 6x12 then tore both of the longest edges.

On the left hand side of the paper I have layered a strip of Fabric tape and a torn piece of paper weight paper from the Ephemera stackers pack which I also tore to emulate the paper edge. Tucking in leaves from the laser cut pack and pieces from the ephemera stackers pack.

On the right hand side I have layered ephemera and laser cut pieces then added stitching rub ons from the new Essentials 02 pack.  Then I have added different rub on transfers from the 6x12 pack.

I totally love the stitched Frame Set from all of the Color Swatch ranges, which I have used for all of the photographs on my page in different sizes. I then added a file tab and "make each day matter" strip with another line of the stitching rub ons.

There was an envelope piece in the ephemera stackers pack and I immediately thought this would be great to add some journaling about the day. 
I decorated it with another of the stitched frames with leaves, hearts, buttons and loops from the laser cuts.

I hope you have enjoyed my page today of my fearless little grand son, please add any projects you complete in our 49 and Market Fans page on Facebook for us all to enjoy.

Mermaids this Way - 49 and Market Color Swatch Teal

 

Hello everyone, today I am sharing photos of my Amazing little princess Grandaughter on her Fourth birthday in January. We went to AQWA the underground aquarium in Perth to celebrate and see the Mermaids. WOW, she absolutely loved them. 

I started with the Paper #2 from the 12x12 Collection pack and cut a rectangle from the middle of the paper to use as photo mats, cut the barcode strip off and distressed the edges.  

I have then used the reverse of the Collection pack cover sheet with the butterflies and using a craft knife cut around some of the wings to lift up like they are flying. Then cut the paper down to 11.25 x 11.25 after cutting the barcode strip off of course and distressed the edges. When I adhered it to the dark teal background paper I added glue around the edges of the cut pieces to stop them from lifting while still being able to see the colour underneath.

I have then used Filmstrip and stitched frames in the background and layered Teal ephemera stackers pieces along with tags, tickets and Moonlit garden ephemera. 

Teal mini laser cuts, Moonlit Garden laser cuts and chipboard bits are then layered and arranged in clusters. "Best of Times" was made from Moonlit Garden chipboard bits with teal paper in the background of the frame then epoxy dots added.

Moonlit Garden Sentiments rub on "Good Life" was added on the bottom of the page then Teal rub ons added around the edges with paint splatters and grid patterns.  The acetate leaves and butterflies where really see through and the colour was lost so I painted white paint on the reverse of the pieces and tucked them in under the photos. 

Hope you have enjoyed my layout today, remember you can add your own projects on the 49 and Market Fans page on Facebook.

Adored - 49 and Market

 

Hello and welcome to 2024 where there is so much planned and lots happening. 

I took this photo of my gorgeous little grand son at the end of year Dance concert for my Grandaughter and Daughter-in-law. The Moonlit Garden range is perfect to scrapbook this photo.

I started with the 12x12 Collection pack and used the "Understated" paper, cutting the barcode off and using it approx a third the way up the page as a horitontal strip. Then used a 12x12 Colored Foundations page and cut a 3" piece and used that as a vertical strip underneath the photo.

I have then used two pieces of the 6x8 papers as photo mats along with ephemera pieces then added washi tape and tags.

Using more of the ephemera pieces I have made this tag cluster embellishment then added 6x8 rub on transfers, laser cuts and wishing bubbles & baubles.

Using laser cuts I have decorated each side of the photo mats and added Chipboard bits and words.

Add dimension to your laser cuts or ephemera pieces by rubbing on the back and using foam tape underneath. I have inked the edges of the ephemera bird so it didnt show as much of the white edge, another alternative is to fussy cut them out. Finishing off my page is the "Adored" title using the 12x12 Sentiments rub ons.
