'Watch Me Grow' Uniquely Creative Botanical Chronicles

Hello all!

I am popping in to share my final layout

created with the Botanical Chronicles & Floral Archives collections

from the Uniquely Creative 2025 Advent Kit.

I used the timber-look paper as my base,

and layered patterned papers and a grid strip behind my photo.

I die-cut branches with the Branch with Leaves Die

and tucked them in at the top and bottom corners.

Heirloom Flowers and leaves sit in two clusters,

with mushrooms, a '50c' tag and little labels like 'field notes' and 'identified'.

The 'watch me grow' title is on the left,

and Gold Pearls finish it off.

Uniquely Creative products used:

Beautiful Botany, Illustrated Foliage, Nature's Palette, Natural Beauty and Notebook papers,

Botanical Chronicles Creative Cuts, Botanical Chronicles Cut-a-part Sheet, Heirloom Flowers,

Fabric Element Stickers, Botanical Ephemera, Botanical Script Stickers, Gold Pearls, Branch with Leaves Die.

That's all from this collection, but I will be back soon with more to share!

Until next time!

'The Season to Sparkle'
for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello all. I am popping in today to share my latest layout for
2Crafty Chipboard.
Some Christmas inspiration to share with you.

It's the season to sparkle

2Crafty products used:

'Mistletoe Set'

'It's the Season to Sparkle'

'Star Bright Snowflakes'

For this layout, I splashed some colours around
using ink sprays in colours
that co-ordinate with my papers.

I used a couple of the 'Star Bright Snowflakes',

that I embossed gold and tucked into my clusters of elements.

I also used the mistletoe piece from the 'Mistletoe Set',
that I embossed the berries and ribbon in red,
and used a watercolour green effect on the foliage.

Another one of the gorgeous 'Star Bright Snowflakes' in gold.
I think these are my favourite snowflake pieces.

I also used the 'It's the Season to Sparkle' piece as my title,

that I also embossed in gold and adhered at the bottom of my page.

I have used the Christmas Keepsakes collection from
Uniquely Creative Kit Club for this layout.
I hope that you like what I have created.

Until next time!

'Love & Delight'
for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello all!

It's Lisa here today to share some scrappy inspiration with you.

I created this layout in plum and pink tones,
with a black and white photo of my daughter.

'Love & Delight'

2Crafty products used:

'Foliage Set 18'

'Mini Word Set 2'
'Ginny's Flourish Set'

For this layout, I coloured all of my chipboard
with Dina Wakley Gloss Spray in Eggplant.

I love the glossy finish it gives,
and the deep plum colour ties in with the
pinks and purples in my papers.

I used one of the sprigs from 'Foliage Set 18'
on the torn pink strip at the top of my page.
I also used 'love' from the 'Mini Word Set 2',
on the left side of my photo.

I used one of the flourishes from 'Ginny's Flourish Set',
curling out from under my flower cluster in the bottom left corner.

On the right side of my photo,
I layered another of the 'Ginny's Flourish Set'
flourishes over a scalloped doily,
with a flower cluster at its base.

I also used 'delight' from the 'Mini Word Set 2'
under my photo, and tucked more of the
'Foliage Set 18' sprigs under my flower
cluster on the bottom right corner.

I really love how my black and white photo stands out against all the plum and pink.
I hope that you like what I have created.

Until next time!
