LAST TWO (WELL FOR NOW ANYWAY)

Good morning lovely people, I have two final (and I use that word loosely because I do have some leftovers from this kit!) layouts to share using the A Charmed Life - Simple Stories range from Wear Crafts - I know Jen has a few of the items left, so hope on over here and have a look if you fancy.

I used some plain blue cardstock and then offcuts and a frame on this one, hand stitching, a sticker and some journalling - sorted!  

The photo was taken of said 14 year old enjoying the bouldering when we visited High Force Water Fall in Teesdale - him and his Dad thoroughly enjoyed climbing over all the rocks for a better view (and because they can!)

And this one, using strips of paper, highlighted with glossy accents, two square photos, hand stitching and a foam mounted tag with the title 'It's a Charmed Life'.  Hidden journalling.

Photos taken on the beach near Souter Lighthouse, I can still hear that crashing wave noise in my head when I think about that day!

Hope you have a happy scrapping day!

HAPPY LITTLE MOMENTS

Evening all

Crikey hasn't it turned cold, blinking freezing in Yorkshire tonight, well I didn't get around to posting the last couple of days so thought I'd put best foot forward tonight. Here was a quick layout created with off cuts.  

As you can see a bit of hand stitching a few photos from Raby castle, including the photo bomb one and it was soon done.  I love these project life style ones - so quick and easy to put together and a great way to use up 'bits' if you know what I mean! 

So is this the end of the kit you might ask (nope afraid not - still more to share!)  

If you fancy getting your paws on these gorgeous papers, rumour has it that Jen still has some available at Wear Crafts - so hope on over if you fancy a look! 

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Good morning lovely people, here we have another layout using the 'A charmed Life' bundle kit from Jen at Wear Crafts I've said it before this kit just keeps going on and on and on - fab stuff! 

An assortment of the papers, a bit of plain co-ordinating cardstock, hand stitching and glossy accents, using the large title and adding some hand journalling.  

Photo taken in the summer when we went off along the Wenlock Edge in Shropshire searching for a geo-cache, can't believe when I see these photos how much said 14 year old has grown this last year - crazy stuff! 

LIFE IS WONDERFUL

Morning all, well I'm back with another Simple Stories 'A Charmed Life' layout using the bundle pack from Jen at Wear Crafts, this kit just goes on and on (and apparently there are a couple of bundles left so contact Jen if you want to know more - link to Wear Crafts here )

This was the carved figure at the head of the ship, I loved the colours in the photo and thought they blended well with the papers - so away I went, using some of the journal type pieces of paper, some chipboard pieces, a bit of hand stitching you know the drill! 

This was a replica of the original, the ship Trincomalee can be found in Hartlepool's historic quay and we were amazed to find the original ship (most of which is still integral to the refurbished ship) was built in Bombay in India!

Hope you have a happy scrapping Saturday! 

TRAMS

Morning all, well thursday greets us - Thursday?  Really?

Back to the Simple Stories - A Charmed Life - layouts, I was sharing these about a week ago - well I've still not done with the bundle kit that I bought from Jen (seriously good value with what I've managed to squeeze out of this set up to now).

Fairly simple, strip of paper, some of the alpha stickers, creating a 'large' polaroid like frame, punching three hearts out of a corresponding green, a bit of glossy accents.  Hand stitch around some elements, adding a chipboard arrow and some hand journalling.

The photo is when we were on holiday at Beamish Open Air museum enjoying the circular tram route - great fun!

Jen always has a great supply of the Simple Stories range - so you can always check out Wear Crafts website if you want to see what's available.

Hope you have a happy scrapping day!

SIMPLE STORIES - WEAR CRAFTS - MEMORIES

Morning all, well Wednesday morning already, apparently the first day of Autumn yesterday here in the UK and can't I tell - the mornings are darker and the sun is struggling to get above the horizon!

Thought I'd share another layout using the 'A Charmed Life' bundle kit I got from Jen at Wear Crafts.

I went really simple on this one, I punched a load of hearts from different papers, used a strip of the polka dot paper, added the photo, a bit of stitching around the edge and a cluster of embellishments over on the left.

Documenting hubby and said 14 year old stood inside a lighthouse light at Souter Lighthouse (fab place to visit).

I add a few glossy accents to the little navy blue polka dots on the page and a bit of journalling and it was done, I love a quick layout!  If you want to see more of the Simple Stories range, check out Wear Crafts website here.

TIME FOR SOME CRAFTING - SIMPLE STORIES - WEAR CRAFTS - BARNARD CASTLE

During the summer I was lucky enough to secure a bargain pack of papers and embellishments from Jen at Wear Crafts for some Simple Stories goodies as part of their 'A Charmed Life' range.  I was not disappointed when I received them, lush greens and blues, loads of extras included.  I've finally managed to start playing using the same, adding in some plain card stock I've really pushed this kit to it's limits.

First up a panoramic picture we took when visiting Barnard Castle - a fabulous ruined castle literally in the middle of Barnard Castle!

This seemed like a strange place to start, using the strips that you cut off the bottom onto a sheet of plain yellow card stock.  I added some hand stitching, stickers and a title with a brief amount of journalling.

I'll be sharing more of the layouts I've created using the kit over the coming days.  If you fancy getting your hands on some great kits then don't forget to pop over and to the Wear Crafts website and take a look for yourself - you won't be disappointed!
