Daisy Girl

 Hello,

Today I am over on The Mad Scrapper Blog with this beautiful layout using a photograph I took from Pinterest which I thought went very well with the gorgeous Botanical Buzz papers from 49 and Market last year.

I started with the main paper and cutting it down to 11.25 square and distressed the edges before adding it to the buttery yellow paper. The paper has so much on it already such as the hessian frame and lots of beautiful flowers.

Then I gathered bits and pieces I thought I'd use including a honeycomb die cut in 2 yellows plus a few of the bits that fell out. The bees are a old die I have and I thought they would be fun to add.

Then I took my photograph and matted it on to the yellow and a pale pink before adding it to a actual piece of hessian and under that is a foam layer, one piece so as not to mess about with foam pads. You can find this foam in the Kaisercraft  section and I'd advise you to buy some because it's great.

Here you can that I've tucked a honeycomb cut under and added some of the drop out pieces from the other yellow cut

This next photograph shows the bottom cluster of flowers which are made up from different 49 and market collections, Green Tara and Galina along with a pink daisy which she has on her hat. I also removed the brown stamens and replaced them with white which I felt was better for this layout

This photograph shows the top cluster which has the addition of some of the tickets and another daisy but this time a white one.

I'm really pleased with how this layout came out and I hope I have encouraged you to look elsewhere for photographs to go on a layout. I will let you in to a secret that this photo can easily be removed as it is only attached in the centre so my sister can get an up to date photo of her granddaughter this summer and she will have a ready made layout for it to go on to.

Thanks for stopping by again today please drop in to see Janine who will personally guide you around all the fabulous collections she has in, however if like me you live too far away then make a drink and scroll through The Mad Scrapper  pages I feel sure you will find something.

Sue.

 Hello,

Today you find me sharing another layout for The Mad Scrapper Blog and this time it is using photos of my cousins adorable grandchildren at a lemon photo shoot. As soon as I saw the photographs I knew I wanted to make a page for her.

I love the Botanical Buzz Collection by 49 and Market so I pulled out some papers to choose from along with ephemera and beautiful flowers. As you can see below I trimmed down the main paper and added a few rips where I tucked behind pieces of Vibrant to tuck under. I added it to a yellow and then a blue. All supplies are listed below in full, I used Delicate but it could have been any of the papers all are perfect.

After matting the main photo on blue I chose 3 to cut with a circle frame die and placed them on to blue too. Then I set about building up my layout. I placed the main photo in the centre up on foam which Janine sells then I added one photo bottom left and added lots of lovely flowers and some fussy cut lemons from a Cocoa Vanilla collection a couple of years back (one of those papers you just know will come in handy)

The next little photo is added to the top left of the main one and is tucked under, aren't they adorable sitting there together and look at her pretty dress too.

Here you can see some more of the lemons tucked in there and the title is added above, middle and bottom right of the layout. I used alphabet stickers for this.

This next little photo I almost made the main one but decided it made a better little add on. Ooh you can almost imagine the squeals after she sucked on the lemon!

I only added the one cluster of flowers to this layout of the children but I did finish the page with lemon and lime flat sequins and a couple of little stars which they are.

Thanks for stopping by again today. Pop in if you live close or sit back and go to The Mad Scrapper  at your leisure there is bound to be a collection perfect for your photos if you need help just ask Janine she will be able to help.

Floral Frenzy

 Hello and Happy New Year,

Today I am joining in with the Pinkfresh studio January 2026 Challenge  which is all about choosing your favourite challenge from 2025 and making a card or layout with that challenge. I have chosen floral frenzy from the month  April 2025 Challenge  but it could have been May with Frame it up.

This card uses Floral Bunch stencil and die (I don't have the stamp set, can't find it anywhere) along with petal trellis cover plate. I coloured in using all Pinkfresh inks and my own pattern paper. I added a elongated rectangular frame in white, the same as I had inked my florals on to. The card is a 5x7 top fold card.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Sue.
