My Joy | Joyful Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends! I set myself the challenge of using Joyful for a non Christmas layout. And here is what I created a baby themed layout.

I firstly used a cut file to create my background of pop up flowers (Silhouette Design store). I cut my white card stock down to 11x 11 inches and then backed the pop up flowers and created a border by using the Feeling Festive paper.

Once I had my background created I set about choosing embellishments from the collection that could be used for my baby theme. I also fussy cut flowers from the Tis the Season paper

My photo is 6×4 inches portrait and I used papers from the 6×8 inch paper pad which keeps those 12×12 inch papers for larger projects. I chose very typical baby colours of a gingham pink and baby green. My photo was added with foam tape to add height. I created a flower cluster embellishment to the left of my photo, adding some die cut leaves finishing off with the adorable bunny die cut.

I used one of the die cut frames to create another embellishment cluster on the opposite side. I fussy cut the two deers from one of the Pocket Cards and added with foam tape on top of the due cut frame. I also added a heart wood epoxy button

I created my title My Joy using the Puffy Gold Title Stickers and adding a subtitle using one of the phrase sentiments from the Die Cut Ephemera pack. I added a glitter heart and die cut bird to finish off.

I added some finishing touches to my layout, tucking another fussy cut flowers under the deer embellishment cluster and some stars from the Chipboard Stickers

And there you have it a non Christmas layout using a Christmas collection!

Thank you for stopping by today and see you agin soon!

Hello crafty Friends. It’s Anna here and today I want to share with you super cute baby page made with not so baby themed “Joyful” collection. This brand new line was designed for christmas and it’s filled with with patterns and elements that correspond with winter and December celebrations. Howver, when I say all those cute critters like deer, fox and bunny, I knew I have to make a baby page. Let’s be honest – I am a bit of Grinch when it comes to christmas projects. I love the season but I prefer scrapbooking summer and travels. Most of christmas collections has very traditional color palette and the same motiffs. It kind of gets boring after a while. That’s why I was so exctited to see “Joyful” collection. This line has such a beautiful colors and many versatile patterns so I knew I will be able to use it whole year round.

As a mom of two lovely girls I always find a photo to scrapbook with any cute collection. I picked pictures of Maja, when she was less than a year old and paired them with all the pink and beige I could find in “Joyful” collection. I not only went through 12*12 papers, but also checked the 6*8 paper stack and pocket cards. I finally settled with very neutral background called “Very merry” and “Advent for one of the clouds. Did you noticed that 6*8 paper stack contains of a little bit different patterns or the same patterns but in different colors? It makes it a must have product! I managed to find two red – pink papers there and I cute a biggest cloud and backed my photos with them. Pink stars pattern is the back of one of the pocket cards!

This page is quite simple so I wanted to add some extra texture to the clouds by stitching the clouds with pale pink thread. Photos are surrounded with cute critters and generic words and other elements. I just love the drop of metallic gold added to this line. I also love new chipboard stickers!!!! They are so fun to use and look just beautiful. Deer and fox doesn’t look christmassy and can be used for any kind of project. That’s why I decided to use them here.

I embellished my composition with a lot of stars. They are often combined with baby themed collections so I thought they will match to my page as well. I fussy cut some bigger ones from “Making spirits bright” paper, added few smaller ones from ephemera pack and few with gold foiling from cardboard stickers sheet. Few wooden buttons and puffy stickers and my page was almost ready.

My title is a combination of word “joy” from cardboard stickers sheet and some pink foam alpha from my stash. Making this page gave so much fun and I just loved looking for elements that I might use. I also can’t wait to make some christmas themed project with it!

That is all for today. Thank you so much for stopping by and see you in December! I can’t believe it’s almost here. It feels like I just cleaned up the last year christmas tree and decorations. What a crazy year it has been.

XO Anna

My Joy | These Days Collection | Rachel Lowe

Happy November CVS friends! Yes December is fast approaching, I can’t wait to start creating with the new Joyful collection but in the meantime I am still happily creating with TheseDays Collection.

I love creating baby layouts and here I have used two baby themed cut files, the baby romper and bunny wreath, both from the silhouette design store. I used the baby romper as the mat for my photo, but to keep it a feature I cut it twice and used foam tape to layer it. I also added a border with machine stitching.

I embellished on and around my photo, adding gold glitter hearts and epoxy flairs from the collection to further frame it! I also add butterflies from the clear stickers.

I had to add flowers to this baby girl layout and used a combination of die cuts and puffy stickers to create my bloom at the bottom of my bunny wreath. I used foam tape on some to create a layered effect.

I finished my layout off adding more butterflies around my page and create my title using the mini puffy alphas and used the accessory sticker sheet to create some journalling.

I love how this turned out, These Days collection colour hues are just so soft and beautiful. If you wanted to create a baby boy page you could add more of the green and blues in the collection and less of the apricot.

As always thank you for stopping by today!
