Fancy Pants Design- Burlap and Bouquets Layout

I am playing again with my Burlap and Bouquets collection. :)  I pulled out couple pictures to add to my sister's wedding album and thought this collection would go well with the photos. I love the soft earth tones with the beautiful floral patterns.

For my background, I did use the wood grain side of another Fancy Pants collection. But I love this piece of paper, I think it is part of a circus line? :)

I had to dress up the plain kraft bag with some  gold Art Anthology Modeling Paste using a stencil. I thought about adding another bow but it did not feel right, so I grabbed this butterfly clip, and perfect! I also decide to cut the 3x4 floral card into a tag shape.

I continued the flow of the modeling paste to the lower right corner and added my (brief) journaling with the tiny alpha stickers that came with the collection. 

And I can't say exactly why, but I love this tiny bow tied around the "document" sticker. It just touches my crafty heart. To add dimension to the burlap stickers, I adhered small pieces of scrap chipboard and then adhered to the vellum doily.

Wish all days could be this enjoyable, just playing with papers!  

Have a marvelous Thursday.  ~Tisha

Pink Paislee-Bella Rouge Layouts!

What could be more delightful than playing with the beautiful papers in the Bella Rouge collection? Well, creating two layouts of my sweet sisters and Mom!

First Up:

Nevermind the crazy photos, Mom is used to this. :)  I really started this layout from some leftover packaging materials! At a crop last year, I had used a stencil to make some pink hearts with modeling paste. Before cleaning my stencil, I laid it down on the packaging that paper collections come in to rub the excess paste off. Later that night, I discovered I loved that piece of plastic with pink hearts and kept it. :)

 So it became the starting point for these photos of my sister and I being silly with our sweet momma! Along with these darling flowers in the collection!

It is playing with paper and embellishments that keep me up way too late at night!

Second Layout:

While I had all the Bella Rouge papers out, I went ahead and scrapped this old 5x7 photo that was tucked away in a book. I thought the colors in the photo went perfect with this collection!

I used some crinkled tissue paper behind the layered papers and then offset the photos with a column of the diecuts from the collection. The top heart is originally white, but I needed a bit of black there for balance. I painted over it with Black Heidi Swapp Mist and quickly rubbed it so the silver foil would show.

Of course, used some more of those adorable flowers! Then I finished the layout with sewing a thin strip of paper to the top and bottom.

I am just loving the black, gray, and pinks of this collection. Oh, so yummy!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a marvelous Wednesday.

Teresa Collins-Life Emporium Layout

Modeling Paste is so much fun to play with when I have some sturdy paper to use with the it. Which is one of the things I love about the Emporium collection, thick, sturdy, textured papers! It has been so cold lately, that I feel slightly warmer thinking of old wood-burning fireplaces. So, why not play with some good old wood print papers!

I used a couple of stencils with different modeling paste on the background of the lovely wood print paper. But before doing this, I swiped some gesso paint across the paper and stamped some plus signs. I love that I can see the texture of the background paper where the gesso is slightly covering the paper.

I wanted to use the FancyPants large navy alphabet stickers on this page, but I really don't gravitate to navy supplies and did not have any other navy alphabets to complete my title. I ended up painting some small October Afternoon alphas with the Heidi Swapp Navy color shine. It worked for me!

I kept the embellishment to a minimal so that the background paint and modeling paste would be the main embellishment of the layout.

Stay warm and thanks for clicking in, Tisha :)
