Together | Scrappy Canary

Hello and Happy Weekend!!

Im back today with another layout share for Scrappy Canary using the current Leila Scrapbook kit, and some coordinating stickers from the Maggie Holmes Shine collection.

I actually started this page without a specific photo in mind. I really wanted to made a grid with random cards from the cut apart sheet mixed with some of the reverse black and off white stripe paper. It started off very similar to a previous page I had made, I've been doing that a bit lately!

I ended up chosing another photo from my cousins wedding for this layout, taken by Enchanted Wedding Photography. Another sneaky photo taken, without us knowing, and I love it! It certainly was a lovely day, and we loved that Leila was able to share the occasion with us too. I felt the sentiments on the cards and the photo of the 3 of us together worked perfectly together

I kept the grid of cards pretty simple, I cut the different cards all the same size and roughed up the edges, then layered with off cuts of papers, some heart and word stickers

even layered up some tags and cards from the ephemera pack

and lastly a extra pop of colour to the right of the photo with some more stickers and a acetate word for the title

Thanks for stopping by the last 2 days, I hope to have more to share with you very soon!

Happy Scrapping

Remember Love | Scrappy Canary

Hi Scrappy friends!!

Im back today with a new layout share for Scrappy Canary using the current Scrapbook kit Leila and the Maggie Holmes Add on kit. Ive made 6 layouts in total so far, and still got plenty of papers and bits to use up!

The photo Im sharing with this layout is of Leila at my cousins wedding early last year. So well behaved and sitting nicely. I didn't even know that this was taken, but boy am I glad that it was. Certainly one of my favourites. However It was only moments before a sudden outburst that she needed to go to the toilet right then and there!!

Ive kept the papers and embellishments to a minimum with this layout, as I really wanted the photo to be the main focus of the page, along with the large mixed title

If you hadn't already guessed, I do like to mix up my titles. Whether it be different alpha stickers or die cut words, even cards from cut apart papers work well for mixed titles

I've also added in some stickers from the co-ordinating Maggie Holmes sticker sheet that I had in my stash, and splattered some black Color shine to finish the page off

Thanks for stopping by today

more to share tomorrow

Happy Scrapping!!

Love Life.. Dream Big.. Follow your heart.. for Scrappy Canary

Hi Again!

Im back today with my last share for Scrappy Canary this month using the Leila Scrapbook kit .. I still have plenty of bits left in my kit to keep me going throughout January while we await the next yummy kit!!

When I saw this triangle paper by Pink Paislee, I just knew I needed to make a feature of it.   

Absolutely adore this photo of Leila. Sitting peacefully, pondering life.. I do wonder what she was thinking in that moment, but I couldn't ask her as she took off so quick, back to the park to play. 

I took inspiration from her pants, and went crazy with the triangles.. stuck them down, sewed them, stapled them and even raised a few with foam tape

I kept the embellishments to a bare minimum, so as not to distract from the triangles 

Ive used a vellum piece, and die cut word from the ephemera pack in the kit, along with gold letter stickers and a chipboard banner to make up the title

Thanks again for stopping by, 

I would like to wish you all a safe and very Merry festive season! 

Happy Scrapping..

Crazy little Critter.. for Scrappy Canary

Hi Everyone!

Can you believe this year is almost over?? I certainly can't. Its gone way too quickly

Today Im sharing a new layout using the current Scrappy Canary Scrapbook kit - Leila and the Maggie Holmes Shine Add-on

Simple ripped paper layers, mini clusters of embellishments, machine stitching, a mixed alpha title, delicate doily and a splattering of inks... these are a few of my favourite things

This crazy kid... We often find her perched, or hear her meowing multiple times throughout the day. She thinks its hilarious!! I've added this into the journalling that is hidden behind the photo

I'm really liking the floral embellishments within the Shine collection, this one from the chipboard sticker sheet complimented the papers perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by today, 

Be sure to stop by again tomorrow for another layout share

Happy Scrapping

Hello Happy Day.. for Scrappy Canary

Hello fellow Scrappers!

Im back today with another layout share using the current Scrappy Canary Scrapbook kit - Leila

I loved the bright, fun, happy colours of the triangular shaped paper within the kit. 

It matched perfectly with the colours in the photo Ive chosen to document

Leila often brings us plates of cakes and deserts from her play kitchen. On this day it was an extra special cake for her Uncle Tim as it was his birthday, and she was cooperative enough for me to take a photo to send to him. Bonus!

I know I say this about pretty much all of my layouts, but I LOVE how this one turned out!!

The colours, the embellishments, the happy little face in the photo (this was the week we both had a crazy head cold that had wiped out of energy to do nothing more than snuggle in bed, or on the couch. You wouldn't think it from the smile she gave me, but she was pretty miserable for the remainder of that day, and we missed out on seeing Uncle Tim for his birthday dinner)

Ive grouped the photo (and signature doily) together with tags and floral embellishments from both the Main kit and the Maggie Holmes Shine Add-On. Love the mix of colours, with the pops of gold throughout

The acetate tags are a cute finishing touch to the sides of photos, good for layering as they are see through and mix well with the other embellishments

LOVING this roller stamp! I think I've used it on each page so far..

I've created the title from the 'hello love' wood veneer that I cut down and layered behind the 'Happy day' die cut

Lastly some handwritten journalling and splatters of Gold colorshine to finish the page off

Thanks for stopping by today, more to share very soon

Capture the Everyday.. for Scrappy Canary

Hello Everyone! 

Its been a little while between posts from me, the start to this month has been a little hectic to say the least! I've still found some time to get creative though, which is good for my soul! 

Here's the first layout Ive made with the newest Scrappy Canary Scrapbook kit - Leila. How sweet that its named after  my little miss Leila, it certainly suits my style of scrapping, and her cute little face!!

The photos Im documenting are more silly selfies that Leila and I took a few weeks back. I was making a mess in the craft room and she had wandered in to check what photos I was using. She loves looking at photos, so it makes this hobby even more special, knowing that she will treasure these pages for years to come. 

'Capture the Everyday'

I've seen a few layouts made lately using vertical strips to the sides of the page, so I thought why not try it out. That black and white striped paper was just perfect to layer together with the spotted papers

Ive used foam to raise the photos and pink flower to the right to give some dimension to the page

Love the florals in this collection, however Ive found that there just isn't enough for my liking! I need more!!

This quote, that can be found on the cut apart sheet, really jumped out as something I needed to use for this page. Its exactly how I feel about those photos and that moment!

How cool is it to have a roller stamp as part of the kit this month! 

Perfect little sentiments to stamp all over the page..

And lastly a little cluster at the bottom to finish the page off..

All the products used here, apart from the doily, vellum, ink and Gold colorshine, can be found in the current Scrapbook kit, which is available in store now 

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Scrapping
