Hello Friends! It's Kristine here today to share a fun layout using the NEW collection called "Hey Crafty Girl!" It is filled with so many great elements such as sewing machines, flowers, paint bottles and so much more! It's super cute in color and you can really create fun pages with this collection. I can't wait to create a little mini album and a few more layouts with my kit. 

My layout is called Artsy Memories Made. My friends and I attend this Crop and Create event every year and we have so much fun together. This is a layout showing us being silly at a photo booth. 

I used a silhouette cameo to cut out a background for my layout, then i added small pieces of patterned papers, elements and cute little pics. To finish off my layout I added Bits & Pieces as well as a few pieces of thread to make it a bit more " crafty " of a page. 

I hope you get a change to play with " Hey, Crafty Girl" You will enjoy it!

It’s Kristine here today to share a layout I recently created using the Winter Farmhouse collection. 

I wanted to use so many patterned papers from this collection so I decided why not use them in strips. I took a few of my favorite papers and cut them in assorted sizes. What a great way to use many patterns and colours. 

I used the wood grain background to start my layout and then layered my strips of paper. I then added some Bits and Pieces to create clusters and add more colours to my page. 

This isn’t hard to recreate. You can also do this with leftover or any of your favorite simple stories collections!

Hello Friends! 

I am here to spread a little Cheer with my latest layout called Merry & Bright using the Say Cheese Christmas collection. I absolutely love seeing picture of animals dressed up for the holidays. This little one called Dev is with his favorite human Cabrelle getting ready for the holiday festivities. That look on his face just screams why am I doing this!!!? Right? 

This layout is very simple to create and all you need is a few sheets of this gorgeous and festive collection.  I used a sheet from the Holly Jolly Simple Basics Collection, which is a must have by the way, and backed up a few pieces of assorted papers in different sizes. I used a piece of white cardstock as my base but any color that matches this collection would be perfect. I added my assorted papers to the base in no random order and that was my background! Simple right?  

Once I added my photo I started embellishing the bottom and top left of the layout. I always use dimensional adhesive under my Bits & Pieces to create height and it also allows me to add more layers. 

Journaling was added on a small piece of white cardstock and adhered under the top left cluster.  My title was left simple using a die cut called Merry & Bright.  

You can create this simple layout in no time and you can even add a few more pictures if you'd like. 

This collection makes it super easy to create fun pages of you and your pets or something to make you SAY CHEESE!
