Creative Inspiration - A fun whimsical feel

Hello again.

Back to share with you all a quick layout I have created using some more of the super fun paper range by Pink Fresh Studio called Up in the Clouds sent to me by the lovely Leanne at Mad About Scrappin.

This time around I have created  a layout using Kraft card stock as the base which I have then matted onto some vanilla coloured card stock. 

I have kept this layout super simple and have focused on the fun whimsical feel of the paper range this time around. I love the patterned paper in this range. It looks like it has been hand drawn and the colours are just so fun. I have teamed this up with some aqua card stock and grey striped washi tape. I have used two similar photos for this layout but have used a cream dotted black frame from my stash to frame off one of the layout. I added a paper strip to the frame and covered a chipboard die cut bird in the matching paper to add some fun to the layout.

To fill in the open Kraft card stock base I have punched a few hearts out of the patterned paper. I then added a few matching yellow die cut chipboard stars to finish off the hearts and add some dimension.

To finish off the layout I have added a couple of flairs from the kit to create my title and added feature to the layout. They match perfectly and add that little bit of dimension just where I wanted it.

I had fun playing around with this super easy layout.

Till next time.

Get creative.

Creative Inspiration - Bold background

My oh My !! 

I have been a naughty blogger. I have had the posts all ready for this month and have been so busy that I actually forgot to post them!

Things have been crazy here with being back at placement, a wedding to attend and school holidays. Time for  me has been absolutely crazy and full of chores and other catch up jobs.

Anyways.... I have a new kit to share with you all. I have been sent this super fun paper range by Pink Fresh Studio called Up in the Clouds.

So this is the first layout layout I have created to share with you.

I have gone quite bold with the background for this layout by using some lolly pink card stock which I stamped with black as the base. I did this because I really liked the mix of aqua and pink in this paper range but wanted to tie them to the base layout with some black and white. I decided to use black and white photo so that the paper range could be the hero for this layout.

I have matted my larger photo on some black card stock as it seemed to get lost on the colored paper. Then clustered a mini paper bag with some pink ticket stubs with a flair from my stash. 

I then finished off the layout with another ticket stub and chipboard arrow clustered on the other side of the larger photo on top of the journal spot from the kit. I haven't added a title to this layout as the flair said it all for me. 

I was quite excited too that I challenged myself to use so many photos on a layout. Not something that I would normally do but had heaps of fun trying to get them all to work.

Well better get back to it. Cannot wait to share with you all the rest of the layouts I have created from this kit.

Till then.

Creative Inspiration - New Years Greeting!!!!

WOW!!!! Still in a bit of shock that it is now 2016.

I hope that this finds you all well and not too under the weather from seeing in the new year.

On behalf of Mad About Scrappin, I would like to wish you a happy and prosperous 2016. 

I have a quick share today using the very last bits and pieces from the Simple Stories - Summer Vibes paper range.

Here's today's super quick and simple layout.

I have used a black card stock matted kraft base as the the base for this layout. I quite like this effect as it is a quick way to add a bit of a border to the layout easily. I have also matted my 4'x4' photo in black to tie it all together.

Then it was as simple as layering up a mix of journal cards and tags to jazz up the layout. Then I added a die cut wooden Polaroid frame to pope my title in and brightened it up with a word flair from my stash that matched perfectly.

I have also added two different washi tapes for a bit of fun too. Then finished off the layout by dding in these fun die cut wooden stars. 

Super simple but a fun way to star the year before things become too crazy again.

Hope you all get a chance to relax and enjoy the first day of 2016.

Till next week.
