This month I am playing with the new Playtime collection from Mintay Papers. This brightly coloured collection is inspired by carnivals and funfairs and includes images of lots of cute critters and play things. It is perfect for creating layouts about toddlers and pre-schoolers or funfair trips. Some of the papers have large designs on them but today I chose to use the muted B side of paper #3 and images cut from the Elements Paper. I also used a 12x12 foundations page from 49 & Market's Spectrum Sherbet collection as my background. The colours in the foundation paper co-ordinated perfectly with the colours in the Playtime collection.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSWaCT2-4b0It93KdJeJEyrCIlUWt8P29QL0IGUX2KGufPLYa06l2fvopEXvVR8mlOzDdVcDYS3vk8nbNMvBCsHkSirtKLi_1uEkdxuhM0-QmopRP9xaCC4GjSr0LNAnJF2sryVrAQ9wWhB3Jt_gz5OVWp2gn4TVGjz8S6oANu8-qZIiDXFUZoxRNluG8l/s3213/Playtime%2001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3213" data-original-width="2984" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSWaCT2-4b0It93KdJeJEyrCIlUWt8P29QL0IGUX2KGufPLYa06l2fvopEXvVR8mlOzDdVcDYS3vk8nbNMvBCsHkSirtKLi_1uEkdxuhM0-QmopRP9xaCC4GjSr0LNAnJF2sryVrAQ9wWhB3Jt_gz5OVWp2gn4TVGjz8S6oANu8-qZIiDXFUZoxRNluG8l/w594-h640/Playtime%2001.jpg" width="594" /></a></div><p>I started my layout by matting the 12x12 foundations page onto a sheet of Aqua Bazzill Cardstock leaving a 1 cm frame round the outside.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYb2Ik9EGF7P33DToo1cnqr5-FVdUpY1ydGcHb2zjMkMi3dobP-eKz37ufga89DV8oIA_EW9igWQn7vzzDXjBb_IpwnG9e_K9tpJke_YKgB1loe-hASBVV_HY48zQFnK8PHTfz267nJB0vamLuo1MzByPqa1p0qwbzLY9UPZkR4tVu2n0uQWrm8svMDqYM/s4000/Playtime%2005.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="4000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYb2Ik9EGF7P33DToo1cnqr5-FVdUpY1ydGcHb2zjMkMi3dobP-eKz37ufga89DV8oIA_EW9igWQn7vzzDXjBb_IpwnG9e_K9tpJke_YKgB1loe-hASBVV_HY48zQFnK8PHTfz267nJB0vamLuo1MzByPqa1p0qwbzLY9UPZkR4tVu2n0uQWrm8svMDqYM/w640-h426/Playtime%2005.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Using my fingernails I roughed up the edges of the foundation paper and then with a fine liner pen I doodled scribbly lines round the inside edge.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicmZZmYwu-3TaPyK34buQVKIwsfZmY4EBghpsz_mP675F0Oa5-2e5gyvrsEdhicyR5kSXRr6POD8c-zHLEPlCnW01ZMu7eQHyVtfapVlFnW_5FbZBvX_6F8pbHO2r4wzN0uC2Ec1QUfIxqjFDUuaxpankMpR5oXjeLsiqkS5f0niDE9nXMo75el7VAqjE5/s4000/Playtime%2007.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="4000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicmZZmYwu-3TaPyK34buQVKIwsfZmY4EBghpsz_mP675F0Oa5-2e5gyvrsEdhicyR5kSXRr6POD8c-zHLEPlCnW01ZMu7eQHyVtfapVlFnW_5FbZBvX_6F8pbHO2r4wzN0uC2Ec1QUfIxqjFDUuaxpankMpR5oXjeLsiqkS5f0niDE9nXMo75el7VAqjE5/w640-h426/Playtime%2007.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>From a scrap piece of green/grey paper found in my stash I cut a scribbled circle cut file on my Silhouette Cameo and also cut the centre area from the B side of paper #3.

It feels like forever since I created a proper 'boyish' layout, so this month I've chosen to work with the new Great Escape collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. You can always count on CVS to release a cracking 'boy' collection! You can find it in the shop <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/collections/vendors?q=Cocoa%20Vanilla%20Studio&_=pf&pf_t_collection=Collection%3A%20Great%20Escape" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJsfJjlvq37HbpS5UqdrerqlXMwOApPz16IW0bGjMWxhPLD8sCrPrwBSs5T8XAocW0zX_ueAAFfSnyV5h9WDOzcovQ_UzN5AigEVfr6ZesiSPy4Oa2ztwm_YwAO10klM09kAWsEen21M4V8vI7GcH3J_ewBv2-kd3tS4KVhOF6xlKQwTRn1lpwnNjm9s4/s2500/Untitled%20design.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="2500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJsfJjlvq37HbpS5UqdrerqlXMwOApPz16IW0bGjMWxhPLD8sCrPrwBSs5T8XAocW0zX_ueAAFfSnyV5h9WDOzcovQ_UzN5AigEVfr6ZesiSPy4Oa2ztwm_YwAO10klM09kAWsEen21M4V8vI7GcH3J_ewBv2-kd3tS4KVhOF6xlKQwTRn1lpwnNjm9s4/w640-h640/Untitled%20design.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>As soon as I saw the grey woodgrain paper (the B side of 'Starry Night'), I was in love! It's a really lovely paper, and it's not too busy so it's perfect for a background! I cut small sections out of two of the edges and after distressing them, backed them with patterned papers from the collection.</p><p>Next, I die cut 2 large stars from the same 2 patterned papers (Happy Camper and Journey) and placed them central on the page. On top of these, I added my circular photo. I knew I wanted this layout to be quite minimalistic, so I kept everything clustered tightly in the centre of the page. </p><p>Underneath the photo, I added 2 strips of patterned papers with fishtails cut into each end. I offset these slightly so that they weren't too 'blocky' and on top of these I added one of the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/collections/all/products/cocoa-vanilla-studio-great-escape-puffy-title-stickers-1" target="_blank">Puffy Title Stickers</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCD_UR9LDcs_YAsmRhv_VxCTyM0-W39tfVskbFP0BVxS5MM49GJoUv4BnNUoVu2yb5jx_0DJsBJzvqAukMztAv-mk_J2cjJ5s9hvZiZ0zCOA3BtN4Twx-fOj9s83qNc-RdjMoupySI2Mp8MgCpNVN6P-HFgkpiDkI9Qdrq88sIOhHBKzQF0ErjO9JaP9E/s4284/IMG_7153.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4284" data-original-width="4284" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCD_UR9LDcs_YAsmRhv_VxCTyM0-W39tfVskbFP0BVxS5MM49GJoUv4BnNUoVu2yb5jx_0DJsBJzvqAukMztAv-mk_J2cjJ5s9hvZiZ0zCOA3BtN4Twx-fOj9s83qNc-RdjMoupySI2Mp8MgCpNVN6P-HFgkpiDkI9Qdrq88sIOhHBKzQF0ErjO9JaP9E/w640-h640/IMG_7153.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Either side of my photo I added elements from the <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/collections/all/products/cocoa-vanilla-studio-great-escape-die-cut-ephemera-1" target="_blank">Die-Cut Ephemera</a>.

from the base layer.</span> <br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC8nmlPmGvHXIK50bokeZe5qqZJp-ifjfkoB61_41v2rLUGl5mmzCARQ7M3aq4vR9gEgKDOIdQgjh5hnVBg-Mn3VX2ZxRcwT8vFTj4W8MUhA02BGk7NbA4YuLgUIIZA_t0BwTuklNo0jmgMocAkPgDfOFuDWtIAhwKx1nNp_zUH22syUzIo9E5ResHUifD/s4000/CutestCouple%20(5).jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC8nmlPmGvHXIK50bokeZe5qqZJp-ifjfkoB61_41v2rLUGl5mmzCARQ7M3aq4vR9gEgKDOIdQgjh5hnVBg-Mn3VX2ZxRcwT8vFTj4W8MUhA02BGk7NbA4YuLgUIIZA_t0BwTuklNo0jmgMocAkPgDfOFuDWtIAhwKx1nNp_zUH22syUzIo9E5ResHUifD/w400-h300/CutestCouple%20(5).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><span>I placed the balloons onto the 'Happy Birthday' Mintay paper.

created the mixed media background on the Walnut Cream Bazzill using
Distress Oxide Inks of several shades of red and pink, watered down on
the craft mat, and transferring it to the card on a scrap of acetate.
Once dry I stamped the word 'love' several times with Distress Oxide Ink
and some old cling foam alphabet stamps from Tim Holtz (Idea-ology Type
Lower). I spritzed the letters with water to allow them to oxidise
further. <br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi52v4AW9_atpv2KyG7vKaM0CkzqpTRAjae281MY95h1wjbPhD0ylI8cumtAKSFhXmImQ7V3zkU3o7R69fWAXB8MCUpMsWMnrLNfHRP6QHhJwF8fCh8sKaf9bGcU0pZYnjhVTSe1IEbMKNnFjNpbObTvOeUYXjHTYmDcV5wb8ebrLJ3EOug04Muo7nS3h8M/s4000/Always%20(2).jpg" style="font-family: arial;

started this layout (inspired by Paige Evans), by cutting a large heart
from the centre of the Sea Glass Bazzill. With the cut out, I drew
around the heart, onto a scrap sheet of 12" x 12". I used this to work
out where the scalloped shapes would need to go, and a few lines helped
me to line the up too. <br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQdl4qU7hz3kXn9j_iM6gn93aLfOr7dmt2yga4-Q45hWp43_33B3pfIZfLnSyklg6pIM_qERqo3RfZMiF0g23JQKpdt_-SbmCxWZA8WT2ZTQs4kZIIcmanExxpXvWZyPduVxDC15Ua5kiDDa3_nm5kNdfhppneufaeNO1ieARoss5wqzEqehKnasxbzPkP/s3177/HappyTogether%20(8).jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2674" data-original-width="3177" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQdl4qU7hz3kXn9j_iM6gn93aLfOr7dmt2yga4-Q45hWp43_33B3pfIZfLnSyklg6pIM_qERqo3RfZMiF0g23JQKpdt_-SbmCxWZA8WT2ZTQs4kZIIcmanExxpXvWZyPduVxDC15Ua5kiDDa3_nm5kNdfhppneufaeNO1ieARoss5wqzEqehKnasxbzPkP/w400-h336/HappyTogether%20(8).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;">I
cut scalloped strips approx. 0.75 deep, in strips about 11" wide from
the 'Little Blossom' and 'Fresh Start' papers. I used both sides of the papers
to vary the patterns and stuck them sown in overlapping rows. Once the
heart shape was covered I added the heart cut-out sheet over the top of
the scrap sheet and glued this on place.<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtOvZZkuBnBJt3epDbPx7S4jKfoSyT902xSxq-4JglehDPDRH_6GAKjidCvLPFQPYRX9aiIRko6xKCpqQZ_QcqzBiStfo73QmxPxNapoY-rU47eUbTfbC0ylO8rAmgqNk7yO2bOuzXfDsYULKQKzFpyEcq9yVO-lafZQUFzG2EgIuHPuRzolbu9FOZHVE6/s4000/HappyTogether%20(7).jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtOvZZkuBnBJt3epDbPx7S4jKfoSyT902xSxq-4JglehDPDRH_6GAKjidCvLPFQPYRX9aiIRko6xKCpqQZ_QcqzBiStfo73QmxPxNapoY-rU47eUbTfbC0ylO8rAmgqNk7yO2bOuzXfDsYULKQKzFpyEcq9yVO-lafZQUFzG2EgIuHPuRzolbu9FOZHVE6/w300-h400/HappyTogether%20(7).jpg" width="300" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />I glued the photo in place, then added a fine lace trim around the heart edge. <br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXlZKwdrUaK_35lH1jMn8kiOafXkHckdK6AC9IHSUKHFuaDCPtYnD5haKk0rc6YJNufYateFMeBM6g5ZW4aUlz7fxSuStnw833g-PCOvet2kCi0bXcrwWi4E18CXgpSRQ0cG2wv2oNzbXYpR3G5Lec2aq1kLdRxnG5Y_vWKGcqHjFQmQm7DZrfvz6d4qMF/s4000/HappyTogether%20(2).jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXlZKwdrUaK_35lH1jMn8kiOafXkHckdK6AC9IHSUKHFuaDCPtYnD5haKk0rc6YJNufYateFMeBM6g5ZW4aUlz7fxSuStnw833g-PCOvet2kCi0bXcrwWi4E18CXgpSRQ0cG2wv2oNzbXYpR3G5Lec2aq1kLdRxnG5Y_vWKGcqHjFQmQm7DZrfvz6d4qMF/w400-h300/HappyTogether%20(2).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />I

It's a stunning collection full of beautiful colours and elements. It's the perfect collection for documenting memories and honouring those who are no longer with us, but it's also versatile enough to document the everyday moments as I've done here. You can find it in the shop <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/collections/vendors?q=Simple%20Stories&_=pf&pf_t_collection=Collection%3A%20Remember" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4H7H4Zq7n-QQyBNFcZDOB3FZlC_VIXQfcX2rKgY-OodwPC4po9rB24UexDC2IYVStD666VpGFT8479Qq-Srhcbx6zHQzcGVn5x_l9S9CSwX-EaAHzxj_53YC1Xa0RBZ9uCNS8YQu-nlnd8u5AKYkdoLeyaY0amGGiRYhxeEJ65Ml6ERU1ON7qmJ_A3Nc/s2500/Untitled%20design.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="2500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4H7H4Zq7n-QQyBNFcZDOB3FZlC_VIXQfcX2rKgY-OodwPC4po9rB24UexDC2IYVStD666VpGFT8479Qq-Srhcbx6zHQzcGVn5x_l9S9CSwX-EaAHzxj_53YC1Xa0RBZ9uCNS8YQu-nlnd8u5AKYkdoLeyaY0amGGiRYhxeEJ65Ml6ERU1ON7qmJ_A3Nc/w640-h640/Untitled%20design.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>I started by cutting hexagons from 3 of the patterned papers. I chose papers which had colours to match my photo, selecting one stronger pattern (the hearts) and two more subtle papers. After arranging the hexagons horizontally across the page, I liked the way they looked and decided to add a hint of mixed media to my background. Very faintly with a pencil, I drew around the outer edges of the hexagons so I knew where to add the colour. I rummaged through my stash of <a href="https://www.papermaze.co.uk/search?type=product&q=distress*+oxide*+ink*+pads*" target="_blank">Distress Oxide Ink Pads</a> and settled on 'Iced Spruce'. Using a Tim Holtz texture stamp, I added the colour to my background.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkyPg9ovbikGvXNL8ofBdHFAz_3hYqblCx6n9kcY-NscpfQHlUX2RaSduwafPNCSGFBnLtZin0F4yPgIMd3sK-TcezI-SViInzuBHcdtV1oGQh5jgh6N497NFzrrt0g4KzvqU4JLS3t1pPh8cm1lG8qTajv14bq684PfQ8DiCPfuKqLSmCOBQTXGQ8UQ/s5712/IMG_6213_jpg.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4284" data-original-width="5712" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkyPg9ovbikGvXNL8ofBdHFAz_3hYqblCx6n9kcY-NscpfQHlUX2RaSduwafPNCSGFBnLtZin0F4yPgIMd3sK-TcezI-SViInzuBHcdtV1oGQh5jgh6N497NFzrrt0g4KzvqU4JLS3t1pPh8cm1lG8qTajv14bq684PfQ8DiCPfuKqLSmCOBQTXGQ8UQ/w640-h480/IMG_6213_jpg.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Once the ink was dry, I adhered the hexagons to the page with a layer of adhesive foam behind them to help lift the layout a bit and introduce some dimension.
