Best Ever - Layout

Hi there Audrey here. The beautiful tones of ARToptions Spice were perfect for these Halloween photos from last year. To be honest it was a bit of an easy layout to put together. All made that way as I used two the the Cluster from the ARToptions Spice - cluster Kit. I made up all four of the Clusters so when I was putting this layout together I was able to add some extras that were left over in the kit, once complete.

I added a few extras from matching pieces in the Collections. The smallest of the pumpkins are actually from the ARToptions Spice - Washi Tape Stickers. I matted the washi sticker on some white paper for strength and fussy cut them out.

I did the same with these tabs, words and clip, all washi stickers! The clip especially looks like the real thing in the photos.

I tucked small ripped pieces of Lacey Trim here and there as well as the lace laser cut pieces.

Last of all I rubbed the date of the photos onto one of the tabs from the Laser cut Date Essentials - rub on Transfers onto a tab from the ARToptions Spice - Ephemera Bits.

Escape - Layout

Hi there Audrey here. I have lots of beach and pool photos so when I seen 49 and Markets Vintage Artistry Sunburst, I was very excited and absolutely love all the elements to match the Collection.I wanted the blue tones in the photograph to pop so choose Vintage Artistry Sunburst - Coloured Foundations 1 from the Collection pack as a base paper leaving a frame around my main layout paper Vintage Artistry Sunburst - Flamingo Terrace from the Collection Pack. Both papers can be purchased separate from the Collection packs.

The Vintage Artistry Sunburst - Cluster Kit makes it so much easier to put together a layout. For this layout I've used one in the top right corner.

I've added little tears here and there around the layout and popped some of the Sunburst Washi Tape behind it.

As usual the awesome Laser Cut Elements to match this range are divine. I've used them and pieces from the Ephemera Bits to decorate the layout. The palm leaves and trees from the Vintage Artistry Sunburst - Tropical Foliage Laser Cuts are just gorgeous.To finish off I made a little collection of washi stickers to the right of the photo. I matted them on some white paper for strength and fussy cut them out. The clip especially looks like the real thing in the photos. I love it.
