Loved

Hi Audrey here with a layout to share. I love the beautiful tones of 49 and Market, Color Swatch- Toast and they inspired me to scrap this photo of my granddaughter Cadence. I started by using Color Swatch- Toast Paper #1 as my base page and sanded the edge to bring out a pop of white. I trimmed Colour Swatch Toast - Paper #2 so there was a frame of about 1cm showing of the base paper. I also sanded the edges of this and the other papers to come.

The photo was centred on the mini me version of the Colour Swatch Toast - Paper #2 from the 6x8 pack with a strip ripped from the bottom. This helped extend the floral pattern a little higher on the page also. I then placed a mounted frame from the Colour Swatch Toast - Frame Set over the top of the photo. A trimmed and ripped piece of Colour Swatch Toast - Paper #3 was centred towards the top of the layout and stuck in place only in the centre so I can then tuck extra goodies behind. I then stuck the piece of paper with the photo attached in the same way on top of that.

With the main papers and photo in place I then tucked Laser Cut Elements, tickets, tab and acetate leave in place around the photo and papers until I was happy. I then build a collection of flowers, Laser cuts and filmstrip etc to both sides of the photo.

The title is the 'Loved' word from the Vintage Artistry Serenity 12x12 Rub-On Transfer Sheet. To create it I rubbed the image onto white card then fussy cut it out, then mounted it in place to finish off the layout.

Destination - Amazing

Hi Audrey here once again with another layout featuring photos from my son and his wife's Burning Man adventure earlier this year.

Vintage Artistry Everywhere is perfect for the tones and theme of this layout and I had so much fun putting it together.

I matted the photo on a thin border of black to make the photo pop just a little as she was wearing black and the Art work also had black highlights on it. I then mounted the whole lot onto orange. The Orange tones in the papers really brought the skin tones of Juliette, the people in the group photo and the lips and hair on the Art work out.

To the right of the photo I used two of the tapes from the Vintage Artistry Everywhere - Fabric Tape Assortment as background patterns. Highlighted one of them with Vintage Artistry Everywhere - Filmstrip Frames but then placed some chipboard hearts in each frame from the Vintage Artistry Everywhere - Chipboard Words.

I layered filmstrips and ephemera behind the photo and the main paper the photo was mounted on. The group photo was framed using another Filmstrip frame and placed inside one of the envelopes from Vintage Artistry Everywhere - File Essentials, then decorated with words, washi stickers, chipboard shapes and words. I previously dyed some Lacey Trim for a project and it worked out perfect for this one, so I tucked it here and there.

To finish off I added a title using the chipboard words.
