A Couple of Multi Photo Layouts by Peg

Hello Arty Peeps.

Life has been so full at my place lately that there has been precious little time or motivation for scrapping. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the need to get stories in albums, but it does make the process so much more difficult, don't you think?

In an effort to simplify the job I decided to pull out a few things that were the last of a range. I always feel better when I can finish a paper range I have or a pack of something. The sense of completion combined with the anticipation of using something new is a heady mix.

This time it was the fabulous Teresa Collins Something Wonderful range.

I have loved this range so much for its versatility, it is so easy to use for simple pages that look more complex.

I used this paper for my base, this paper for my cards, and matching washi tape to add some energy to my page.

I also had some of the Pink Paislee Fancy Free range left over so I used this paper, added a punched border and some black cardstock, to mat my photos.

My title was done with a Pink Paislee acetate alpha, I added a few enamel shapes (hearts), and stapled things on with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher.

I also used this paper from the Pink Paislee Fancy Free range to start this page.

The other half of this paper became a strip down the middle which I edged using some Hambly transparency, stapled on with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher again.

I was at a loss with how to finish it after adding my typed and dated journal spot so, deciding that it needed more interest in the background, I reached for my Ranger Archival ink pads and some little Heidi Swapp stencils. I added some stamping too with these adorable stamps, and some wood veneer coloured black, both from Cocoa Vanilla Studios. Some star sequins and a cute paper clip finished it off.

This page started to take shape once I'd punched out the edge and mounted it with a black border. I could see exactly what was needed once it was 'framed'. Does this ever happen to you? You're stumped until it's framed?

As a side note, I always save the middle out of the black cardstock backing,

it's handy for matting photos, which I almost always do.

Thanks for coming by,

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Til next time,

stay arty,

" Love Today" layout by Bernii Miller using Fancy Free .

Heeellloooo, 

Welcome.. it is Bernii Miller with you here today to share a little layout inspiration with you all..

 Today I am using the super pretty Fancy Free collection designed by Paige Evans for Pink Paislee which you can pick up in store HERE. 

I am down to the last scraps of this gorgeous collection so I wanted to try and create a layout using them up before I retire this collection... So I decided to cut up my scraps into strips and them lay them inside a heart shape. 

So let me show you what I created..

I found this title " Love Today" which was an old cut file that I have had pre cut on my desk for some time, so it was perfect to add to my layout.

Well thanks so much for stopping by today..

I hope I have inspired you to get creative today.. enjoy your weekend :) 

Till next time

Much love

" Kind Heart" layout by Bernii Miller using Fancy Free!

Heelloooooo..

Bernii Miller here with you today to share a layout with you all...

Well today I have a layout share showing you how I used the super pretty Paige Evans - Fancy Free collection.. But more specifically just the one sheet of 12 x 12 paper that has this gorgeous flower pattern which you can find HERE. I just fussy cut out some of the flowers and based the rest of the colours on the layout from those flowers. 

To start this layout off I was first inspired by this quote that I found on Pinterest!! I enlarged the quote to fill an A4 sheet as I wanted it to go across the middle of the page. 

I then pulled out my watercolours to first fill in the background letters and then matched them too some embroidery floss. I LOVE my watercolours especially the Loew Cornell ones as the colours become more and more opaque as you apply them... 

This layout did take a little time to complete, but I filled in the time while watching The Bachelor .. ohhh I have loved watching that show and I am eagerly awaiting The Bachelorette to start.. Ill have to make an excuse to make more layouts with stitching on them so I do not feel so guilty while watching reality tv..lol..

Well thank you so much for stopping by today in my little part of the world..

PLEASE make sure that you stop by the Scrapping Clearly store ESPECIALLY if you love the Fancy Free collection , or perhaps you would like to try your hand at watercolours.. 

Till next time 

Much love 

Bernii xx
