Carta Bella ~ Sunflower Summer 🌻

Hi everyone it’s Anna back with you today.

I’m soaking up the last of the summer and sharing one last layout using Sunflower Summer by Carta Bella and I’m documenting another sunflower field visit. 

You can find this collection in the shop here. 

I started my layout with a white bazzill base. I then adhered the remaining half of ‘busy bees’ horizontally across the centre of my page. 

I wanted to include multiple photos, so I printed eight square pictures and mounted them all together on the b side of  ‘sunflower patch’. 

I then fussy cut sunflowers from the b side of Sunflower Seed Packs and tucked them in a row along the top of my photos. 

I used my silhouette cameo to cut a title using coordinating bazzill cardstock from the matchmaker pack.

To add a space for my journalling I used one of the 6x4 journalling cards. 

I added a boarder strip as well as some of the element stickers around my journaling card. I also added some bunting to the top of my layout using the bunting stickers and some twine. 

Thanks so much for looking! 

See you next month with another brand new collection - I’ll be working with Say Cheese Classic Mouse!

Carta Bella ~ Sunflower Summer 🌻

Hi everyone, it’s Anna back with you today and for the month of September I’ll be working with Carta Bella Sunflower Summer. 

You can find it in the shop here.

This is a collection that’s been out for a few months now, but it’s perfect for documenting all of those sunflower field photos from over the summer. So with having visited a couple of sunflower fields this summer myself, it was a great time for me to revisit this collection!

For my first layout with this collection I began with a white Bazzill background. I trimmed ‘Busy Bees’ in half and adhered one half to my cardstock vertically. 

I then selected my photos - with so many pictures from each visit, I wanted to create a multi photo layout. I mounted my four photos in coordinating cardstock and then adhered three to the bottom of the layout and the larger one I placed at the top. 

I fussy cut several sunflowers - the larger one was from the 6x4 journaling cards and the smaller ones were the b side of sunflower seed packets. I tucked the large sunflower under the right side of my patterned paper and created a trail with the smaller ones, linking the two groups of photographs together. 

I embellished my layout using the Element Stickers.

I created my title using the stickers too, as well as adding in some alpha stickers to make my title ‘Sunshine at the Sunflower Fields’.

Paige Evans ~ Garden Shoppe #3 🌻

Hello! It’s Anna back on the blog today and I’m sharing my third and final layout using Paige Evans Garden Shoppe. 

You can find this collection in the Papermaze shop here.

I have found this collection to be very versatile, it is suitable for a variety of themes of scrapbook pages ranging from Summer Sunflowers to Autumnal Leaves. 

To create this layout, I used the B side of Paper #19 as my base. 

I then used my silhouette cameo to cut out a sunflower cutfile, which is also by Paige Evans. I backed the cutfile using Paper #7 and Paper #14 and some scraps of brown cardstock for the centres of the sunflowers. I trimmed it down slightly and adhered it to the left side of the layout.

I had lots of pictures that a wanted to use of a visit to some sunflower fields during the summer. So I decided to cut them out in circles with the hope of using at least 3 or 4, but I’ve ended up with 6! To cut out circles, I always use my trusty Creative Memories circle cutters or circle punches depending on the required sizes. 

I mounted the photos using Paper #7 and then distressed the edges. 

I chose some coordinating flowers and leaves from the floral ephemera to tuck in behind several of the photos. 

I added some word sentiments from Paper #23 to add a little detail to the top right side of the layout as well as adding some in between the photos. 

To finish the layout off, I added a title using coordinating alpha stickers by LDRS Creative. Unfortunately in the photograph they aren’t showing up very well, but in real life they coordinate well! 

Thanks so much for looking! 

See you soon with a brand new collection.

Paige Evans ~ Bungalow Lane #3

Hi everyone! 

It’s Anna back with you today to share another layout using Paige Evans’ Bungalow Lane collection. 

This collection is so beautiful, so why not take a look at it ok the shop here..

 

For this layout, I began with a sheet of white bazzill cardstock from the matchmaker pack (gutted and the centre used for the cutfile), with a piece of blue bazzill cardstock mounted on top. I trimmed the blue bazzill down by about an inch each side and then hand stitched a boarder around the outside on the white cardstock. 

I then cut out a scalloped circle cutfile, also by Paige Evans using my silhouette cameo. 

The semi circles on Paper 15 are pretty much the same size as the scallops, so I cut out lots of those and backed the cutfile with them. 

I then backed the smallest circle with the b side of Paper 20. 

To fit in well with the photograph I was using, I fussy cut out a few of the sunflowers from the sweet as honey sunflowers patterned paper by Photoplay and dotted them around the scallops. I also double mounted my photo with the a and b side of this paper. 

To the left of my photograph, I have added a flower and heart from the dimensional banner stickers, as well as some bigger sunflower clusters and a few Pinkfresh Studio Jewel essentials.

I used some thickers for my title fo finish and that was me done!

Thanks so much for looking! 

See you again soon.
