Pinkfresh Studio - Paige Evans - Crafted Moments

 Hi everyone, it’s Anna back on the blog today and I’m sharing my third and final layout using Pinkfresh Studio’s latest collaboration with Paige Evans - Crafted Moments.

You can find the whole collection in the shop here. 

As per my previous two layouts, I have used the following supplies:

12x12 Paper Pad 

Cardstock Stickers 

Floral Ephemera 

Mini Puffy Alphabet 

To create this layout I began with a sheet of white bazzill cardstock. 

I then created a frame using ‘Inner Glow’ from the 12x12 paper pad. I trimmed my 12x12 sheet of patterned paper down by around an inch on each side and then cut out the middle section too, leaving a frame about 2 1/2 inches wide. I distressed the edges and set the frame aside.

I used some distress oxide watered down and flicked onto the background using a paintbrush. Once the oxide was dry, I adhered the frame to the cardstock. 

I mounted my three photos onto a piece of patterned paper from the collection and placed them to the bottom left side of the frame. I used the Floral Ephemera florals to tuck around the inside of the frame. 

I also added a butterfly from the same pack and positioned it in the white space inside the frame. I added a trail for the butterfly by using an acid free writing pen. 

I punched out two more butterflies using an old Martha Stewart punch and some pieces of leftover paper from the collection. I added Nuvo Drops to the centres of these butterflies and adhered them to the left of the large butterfly. 

To finish, I added a few stickers from the cardstock stickers including my journalling box and my title using the Mini Puffy Alphabet Stickers. 

Thanks so much for looking! 

See you in July when I’ll be sharing a couple of layouts using Simple Stories Sweet Summertime.

Paige Evans - Happy Haven #2

Hi everyone, it’s Anna back with you today and I’m sharing my second layout using Paige Evans Happy Haven. You can find the collection in the shop here. 

I wanted to make use of the lovely patterned boarders on paper #2, so I decided to cut out the inner section, just leaving the scalloped edge boarder. I filled the gap with some white bazzill cardstock. 

I had three photos I wanted to include on this layout, I also added in a jounaling card from paper #12.

I mounted my photos on to Paper #3.

I fussy cut some florals from paper #1 and tucked them behind my photos. 

I then added some cardstock stickers around the layout including ‘best day’ under my largest photo. 

Finally I added my title using Doodlebug Alpha stickers and a word and arrows from Vicki Boutin Where to Next, travel notes phrase stickers.

Thanks so much for looking! 

See you next month when I’ll be working with Doodlebug design Butterfly Kisses.

Simple Stories ~ Tea Garden #2 🌸

Hi, it’s Anna back with you today. I’m sharing my second layout using Simple Stories Tea Garden which you can find in the shop here. 

For this layout I created a frame using the b side of ‘Enjoy Life’ 

I began with a white bazzill base and then trimmed ‘enjoy life’, creating a frame which was about 2 inches wide. I adhered the frame to the centre of the cardstock. 

I double mounted my 6x4 photo onto coordinating cardstock from the bazzill matchmaker pack and placed it off centre in the frame. 

I cut in half the remaining floral bits and pieces and tucked them under the edges of the frame. 

I then added a title using the cardstock sticker ‘all smiles’ as well as a few of the sentiment stickers. 

I added a sub title using doodlebug alphabet soup stickers.

I added a few more floral bits and cut out a journaling box from ‘journal elements’. 

Thanks so much for looking! See you next month. 

Anna
