Burning Man 2023

Hi Audrey here once again to share a layout created predominantly with Vintage Artistry Everywhere, the base paper used is from Colour Swatch Inkwell - Paper 4. When 49 and Market create new collections you find you can match pieces from previous or current collections. 

Once I had decided on my base I cut down the Vintage Artistry Everywhere - Mapping the World paper so that the blue of the base framed it. This paper has an awesome x cross x design on one side and I really wanted to incorporate it on the main layout so I ripped a section off the the bottom on turn it so you can see the cross pattern at the bottom of the page. 

It just so happened I could pin point the location where the photo was taken on the Mapping the World paper using one of the Geo frames from the Vintage Artistry Everywhere - Chipboard Set. The photo is one of many awesome photos of my son and his wife at Burning Man 2023. I matted the photo on a blue from the Vintage Artistry Everywhere - 6x8 Collection Pack, then mounted that on a collection of other 6x8 papers. I tucked Vintage Artistry Everywhere,  - Chipboard Map Frames, Acetate Filmstrips, Laser Cut Elements and Ephemera Bits behind and around the photo. There is also Colour Swatch Inkwell - Ticket Essentials tucked in there. I added a touch of pink to the layout with 6x8 paper and photo corners from the ephemera pack.  


The finely laser cut bike was mounted to the left of the photo with a bookplate from the pack also.

To finish off rub ons from  Vintage Artistry Everywhere - 6x8 Rub-on Transfer Set here and there, some Vintage Artistry Everywhere - Wishing Bubbles & Baubles and a quote from the Colour Swatch Inkwell - Collage Sheets was a perfect touch.

Gorgeous George

Hi there Audrey here once again with a layout showcasing Colour Swatch Inkwell. 

Meet Gorgeous George. Our beautiful ragdoll cat. How could I not use an untouched, not edited at all, photo of him and his blue eyes!.! Inkwell was absolutely the perfect papers for this photo.

I used the Colour Swatch Inkwell - Paper 2, from the Inkwell 12x12 collection Paper Pack as my base and main paper. I ultimately wanted to showcase this beautiful piece of paper. So the layout if quite simple and the photo set to the right a little on the page. I cut rectangular piece of Colour Swatch Inkwell - Paper 4, bigger than the photo itself, ripped the bottom edge and stuck it down floral pattern up, applying tape to the centre back of the paper so that I can tuck some bits and bobs behind it {I do this each time I stick down lager bits of paper and photos}. I then cut another of the same paper, ripped the bottom off it, embossed and sanded the dark blue side.


I used foam tape to the centre back of the photo, for height and stuck it to the far left of the embossed blue paper. I then played around, tucking and placing lots of laser cuts pieces from the Colour Swatch Inkwell laser Cut Elements pack. I added some rub on transfers from Colour Swatch Inkwell - 6x8 Rub-on Transfer Set over the tabs on the left of the photo. I also added some to the tab below the photo to.
To finish off I added George's name and the date to one of the little journaling cards from the Colour Swatch Inkwell - Envelope Bits.
