Hello Hello, It's new layout share time. Todays layout features multiple photos as part of our current theme and the brand new Midnight collection to help document the celebration of Leila's upcoming 8th birthday.
When I first heard we had this theme I knew instantly what direction I wanted to take. I've been meaning to scrap a layout using 1 photo from every birthday and what better collection to use than Midnight for all its girly hues and pretty florals. The perfect accompaniment to all those sweet black and white photos.
I started the layout by choosing the softest pink pattern paper to create a base for the 'grid' of photos. I went with the B side of ALL THE THINGS as I just love the soft 'mixed media' feel to the pattern with its paint splotch and mini cross design. I also added a strip of the woodgrain SHINE BRIGHT to create a base for the title and massive floral cluster below.
I've added a few pops of colour layered with select photos using pieces of the MIXED BLESSING and ALL THE THINGS cut apart papers. I added a couple of ephemera pieces and accessory stickers within the layers for those little added details.
Theres a couple of hidden doilies and glitter numbers from my stash to tie all the bits together. And how sweet are those hand drawn flowers far right. Oh my heck I love me some floral pieces!
That face, so so Sweet! Time has flown so fast, this girl is so fun!! Such a wonderful walk down memory lane by documenting this collection of photos.
I've used words from the CARDSTOCK TITLES pack to create the title, and tucked in and layered up so many bits from the ephemera packet create this one massive floral cluster that finishes of the layout.
Well thats all from me. I hope this has given you some inspiration to take a walk down memory lane a document a select few photos from over a period of time. I certainly enjoyed the 'stroll'
Until next time, Happy Scrapping

Hello! It's that time of the month when I get to share a new layout with you all, this one again is featuring the fantastic Midnight Collection for Cocoa Vanilla Studio. Love Love LOVING the colours in this collection! Are you? I sure do hope so ;)
I've created a smaller size layout for this week, an 8.5x11 inch size to be exact. I wanted to create something super quick and straight to the point using a fun photo of Leila (as usual) from a couple months ago. I started with a piece of white cardstock and added a strip of the SHINE BRIGHT wood grain paper down the left side. I backed my photo using some of the reverse pattern on the SHINE BRIGHT paper, this time from the 6x8 paper pad. These mini papers are a perfect size to mat a photo onto and even better for layering multiple patterns together. Behind the photo I added a doily from my stash, something I've not done for quite some time.
Cheeky little Miss was pretending to be 'Queen of the World' on top of a rock HAHA. I added an ephemera piece to the top of the photo using my tiny attacher then adhered the photo and doily to the layout using some foam for slight dimension. I then tucked a tag and circular ephemera piece in a cluster top right of the photo. I've shared a closer look below.
I created my title using a couple of pieces from the ALL THIS THINGS cut apart paper. Love using this technique to create titles. You can see in the close up below that I've added a couple of clear stickers below and to the right of the title cluster for a little extra detail.
Lastly I worked on the main cluster above the title using pieces of ephemera, chipboard and a couple more clear stickers to finish it off. I find using repetitive elements within clusters helps to bring the layout all together.
Well scrappy friends, thanks so much for stopping by again today. It was a short and sweet share that I hope has inspired you in some way.
Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
Take care, Michelle x
