{Sweet moments...}

Hello, 49 and Market fans!  

Welcome to the blog today. 

I am sharing a layout using the beautiful Birdsong collection.  It is such a pretty collection with all the amazing images. This is a photo of my daughter and her family.

For this layout, I used the Songs of Hope paper. 

I layered the matted photo on Ephemera Bits and Ephemera pieces I had left from the Birdsong page kit. I inked all the edges.

I used a variety of pretty blooms, and laser cuts to create the flower clusters. The edges of the flowers were dry brushed with white gesso and acrylic paint. I also added flowers and foliage from the Wildflower Laser Cuts set and Laser Cut Elements.  The craft leaves are from the Sizzix Forever Leaves stamp and die set.  

For the title, I selected words from the Chipboard Mixed Set.  Here you can also see how I used the Blendable Rub-on Transfer Set.

The cute nest, ribbon, and words are from the Laser Cut Elements sheet.

{Hello Fall...}

Hello, 49 and Market fans!  

Welcome to the blog today. 

I am sharing a layout using the beautiful Vintage Orchard collection.  I love the warm hues of autumn in this collection.

For this layout, I used the Turning Point paper.

I glued my matted photo to one of the stacked frames.  These frames create a stunning layered look. I also added ephemera bits and a frame from the Color Swatch frame set.  

I used words from the ARToptions Spice and ARToptions Plum Grove word sets for the title and the phrases are from the chipboard set.  The butterfly is from the Color Swatch Peach acetate leaves. I used rub-ons from the Essentials and Botanical Rub-on Transfer Sets.

I used ephemera bits to create this cluster.

I used Laser Cut Elements, Wildflower Laser Cuts, and rub-ons from the Essentials and Botanical Rub-on Transfer Sets for this cluster. A few acetate leaves were also added.

This sentiment is from the Nature Study 12x12 Sentiments Rub-on Transfer Sheet.

{Merry Christmas...}

Hello, 49 and Market fans!  

Welcome to the blog today. 

I am on the blog today featuring a layout created with the gorgeous Evergreen Season collection.

For this layout, I used the Cheerful Christmas Star, Joyful Timber, and Solids Paper 1.  I selected the Solids Paper 1 as my base.  From the Cheerful Christmas Star paper, I cut a strip of 4.5 inches and from the Solids Paper 4, I punched two strips with a lace punch and glued them to the Cheerful Christmas Star paper.  This was then glued to the Solids Paper 1.

Using different sizes of circle punches, I punched out some wood slices from the Joyful Timber paper and randomly glued them to the background.

Next step, I added rub-ons from the Essentials and Botanical Rub-on Transfer Sets to the background.

 The layering was done with some of the images on the backside of the laser-cut packaging. Laser-cut elements were also added.

To create this cluster, I used l laser cut images and word phrases as well as punched-out wood slices from the Joyful Timber paper.

I used a variety of pretty blooms, and laser cuts to create the flower cluster. The edges of the flowers were dry brushed with white gesso and acrylic paint. I also added flowers and foliage from the Mini Laser Cut Elements, a few wood slices, as well as rub-ons from the Botanical and Essentials Rub-on Transfer sets. 

For the title, I used Chipboard Words. 

The final touches to this layout included Wishing Bubble Epoxy Stickers, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

{Charming...}

 Hello, 49 and Market fans!  

Welcome to the blog today. 

I am so excited to share my new layout using the stunning new Rust and Revs collection designed by Dennis Bruton. 

We visited Namibia in 2017. Solitaire is one of Namibia's most enigmatic destinations, a small desert town with only a diner, church, petrol station, and small shop. The first thing to catch a visitor's attention when arriving at Solitaire is the treasure trove of rusted vintage car wrecks.  This collection is perfect for my photos.  

For this layout, I used the Journey and Expedition papers, and they are perfect for creating a double layout. The corner images on these papers are stunning and so realistic. I used pieces from the Thrill and Freedom paper for layering.  With a corner punch, I rounded the corners and then inked the edges. 

Rub-ons are used around the page to add extra details.  For the title I used the die-cut Charming included in the Die-Cut Elements set and raised it with foam tape.  Words were matted on cardstock, raised with foam tape, and glued randomly to the photos. Here you can also see some elements from the Rub-on Transfer Set. 

To create the frame cluster, I glued the frame to a piece of Thrill paper with foam strips for dimension.  I filled the frame with Laser Cut and Die-Cut elements.  How amazing are these trucks, they look like replicas of the trucks in my photos. The trucks were also lifted with foam squares.

These beautiful cactuses are also from the Laser Cut Element Set.

Here is another cluster using cactuses and tires from the Laser Cut Element Set.  Stunning fussy cut images are on the back of the Laser Cut Elements cover.  There are even gears that you can punch out with a circle punch. How cool is this?

 Hello, 49 and Market fans!  

Welcome to the blog today. 

This is my first layout using the Summer Porch collection.  This collection is perfect for documenting summer memories.

For this layout, I used the B-side of the At Sea paper.  I love the mixed media effect on this paper.  I flipped the paper horizontally and used a landscape photo. The At Sea paper is glued to the bonus page at the back of the cover of the 12x12 collection pack.

I layered the matted photo on Ephemera Bits, Sea, and Land Laser Cuts.  I also glued a red fishing rope from Sea Laser Cuts to the top of my layout. A waterdrop stamp and Distress Oxide in Faded Denim were randomly stamped in the background. 

At Se

I created three clusters on my layout using Ephemera Bits, elements from the Chipboard Set, and Land and Sea laser cuts.  I also added chipboard elements from the page kit chipboard sheet.

For the title, I used chipboard words. 

The Summer Porch collection has stunning rub-on transfer sets.  I used elements from the Essentials Rub-on Transfer Set.

 Hello, 49 and Market fans!  

Welcome to the blog today. 

I used the beautiful Krafty Garden 12x12 Collection.  For this layout, I used the stunning Java Explosion paper.  The background is filled with watercolor splotches and layers.

We had a memorable family photo shoot with my daughter and her family during their recent visit from Australia. This is my two grandsons, Janco and James.  

Here is my layout.

I layered the photo Ephemera Bits from the Kraft Garden and Nature Study collections, Krafty Garden laser cut elements, and frames from the Color Swatch Toast and Grove collections.  I also added a frame from the Krafty Garden Stacked Frame Set and a film strip from the Acetate Set.  All the edges were inked with brown ink.

To the background, I added rub-ons from different collections.  I used elements from the Nature Study Foliage and Mushroom sets.  

I glued word strips from the Nature Study chipboard set to the photo.

You can see the beautiful mushroom rub-ons from the Nature Study 6x8 Mushroom Rub-on Transfer set. I also used a chipboard circle shape here.

I used one of the Krafty Garden chipboard words for the title. 

The Moonlit Garden 12x12 Sentiment Rub-on Transfer Sheet coordinates perfectly with the Krafty Garden collection. 

The final touches to this layout included, washi stickers, and splatters with diluted white gesso.
