Enjoy the Little Things
(Scraps of Elegance "Timeless" Kit)


This is layout 3 of 4, created with the September "Timeless" kit from Scraps of Elegance!


The "Timeless" kit is choc full of gorgeous papers, die cuts, chipboard, wood icons, etc... and the elements, floral and color kits are the perfect add-ons. Click HERE for more information!



You can clearly see on this page the blending of the BoBunny and Graphic45 papers from this kit. The peachy orange and the teal blue look absolutely lovely together and go well with a photograph of my niece Daphne getting acquainted with a beautiful little butterfly.


I used several of the different Graphic45 alphabet stickers to create the title along with the wooden letters from Prima that I colored in Lindy's Danny Zuko's Denim blue (love the name!!)


I can't get over how beautiful this shade of orange is and how well it goes with the teal blue.
Absolutely a new favorite colour combination for me!


I've got one more layout to share using the "Timeless" kit... and that happens tomorrow!

Doors of Perception
(Scraps of Elegance "Timeless" Kit)


I'm back today with another layout created with the "Timeless" Scraps of Elegance Kit.


When I saw the several chipboard and die-cut doors window shutters from the BoBunny Bella Rosa line, I was inspired to create this layout and use this quote that I have always loved way back from my University days when I was a huge fan of Jim Morrison and The Doors: "There are things known and things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception."  The quote is from Aldous Huxley but Jim Morrison was inspired by it greatly when writing his own poetry and songs.


I used a lot of the rustic shapes from the kit and an image of a very old and vintage door and doorknob borrowed from the web.


I am absolutely in love with the final result!


Here's a look once again at the "Timeless" kit and the Elements, Floral and Colour add-ons used.

Most Bellissima
(Scraps of Elegance "Timeless" Kit)


Over the next few days, I will be sharing with you my projects created with the Scraps of Elegance September "Timeless" Kit, starting with this very shabby chic layout of me posing at my friend's wedding for which I was the maid of honour, back in 2008.


The "Timeless" kit features a combination of the very elegant Rosa Bella collection from BoBunny and Cafe Parisian line from Graphic45 with coordinating Blue Fern Studios chipboard, Prima flowers and so much more!


I got to combine these 3 September SOE add-ons to my creations:

Elements Add-On


Floral Add-On


Color Add-On



Here are some close-ups:


What a beautiful palette of burgundy, peachy orange and ivory.  I love it!


I sprayed Lindy's Starburst Spray and added dabs of white paint to add a little touch of mixed media to my page.

We Remember Moments
(Blue Fern Studios DT Reveal 3)


For my last Blue Fern Studios project today, I decided I would give you a double treat in a double-page layout!


You see on this page my favorite papers from the Serendipity collection.  I must say, these papers look as if they have been designed especially for me!  Soft flowery patterns in teal and red, ivory book prints and gorgeous vintage romance... absolutely stunning!




This double spread needed a big and bold title so I used the Remember Moments piece covered in Ruby. 


You see here the elegant Attic Stairs covered in Ebony.


I framed both sides of my layout with pieces of the Blue Fern Frame and I added an Ironwork Accent piece on the left side. The red Attic Charm Glitter Roses seemed ideal for this page and you can see that I also added a bit of Watermelon glitter onto my background.


I added favorite photos of my boyfriend and I throughout our 10 years together.

Her Secret Is Patience
(Blue Fern Studios DT Reveal 2)


Today's Blue Fern Studios DT Reveal layout is a little bit more soft in 'nature' (pun unintended), using a combination of the gorgeous Photographic Record and Remember When papers.  I love the colour palette which is so versatile, perfect for any season photos.


I so love the Ginger's Poppies that I have lined along the bottom right corner.  I thought that the Melon colour would suit them very well.  The word Patience was covered with a mixture of Sage and Lucky.


Attic Charm Daisies and Harvest Lilies make up the pretty pastel flower clusters.


In the upper left corner of my page, framing my picture, are a Swirled Floral Corner which I separated in two pieces and a Whimsy Flourish.


I really love the quote "Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience" and thought it was perfect for my page.  This pretty flower was photographed from my mother in law's beautiful garden!
