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!

Photoplay "Crafting With My Gnomies"

Hello! I am pleased to be sharing projects created with the Photoplay "Crafting With My Gnomies" by Becky Moore. Often at crop events, I get so busy that I forget to take photos, but knowing that I have such an awesome line to scrapbook these photos will likely inspire me to take more.

The photos on these layouts are from the Calgary Crop & Create in April 2019.The first layout features a mix of the patterned papers layered in the center of the page. It has some popped up stickers and cut apart cards in 4x6 and 3x4. 

I stamped and colored a gnome from the cute stamp set and fussy cut him out to pop up, too.

The second layout is fun, using a lot of stickers, most of them popped up. I matted the patterned paper in the center to give it some separation from the background pattern. I used American Craft foam Thickers for my title.

 

I used Lustre Polish with the Hearts stencil to create the background for this card. Stickers and ephemera were popped up decorate it and convey the sentiments. It will be perfect to send to a crafty friend!

This photo is from 2016's Crop & Create and I am happy to finally get it on to a page! This collection is bright, beautiful and I love the black in the patterns. I matted my background paper with both black and white cardstock. I also matted the striped paper banner with black. 

I used my name tag from the event as an accent and stamped and colored a gnome in the colors of the paper. The title was stamped and die cut from a Scrapbook and Cards Today set.

The card on the left below was created with scraps of patterned paper and a bit of twine. I love that sweet gnome. The card on the right showcases the Handmade with Love stencil. Distress Oxides were used on this great stencil and I popped up some ephemera and a sticker to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by!
