Scraptastic Store | Crate Paper | Smile

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a layout about my girl finding out she needed glasses! I used Crate Paper's fabulous Craft Market collection from the Scraptastic Store. Crate Paper is one of my favorite manufacturers and I have loads of their product, but for some reason I have often trouble to make it “work” for me. I can perfectly envisage what my layout should look like (bright & sunny), but I have never photos that match this image I have in my head. But because I really love their stuff, I decided to not give up and just get on with it!

So here’s what I did, a layout with an indoors photo, taken with my iPhone (so not the best quality) and not those perfect colors I wanted. And I really love the result!


What I love about this collection are all the gold accents: on the papers, on the wood veneers, on the stickers, on the chipboard … it’s everywhere!


I don’t know if you noticed it, but I’ve smuggled in a strip of paper from another collection. Can you guess which one? Right! It’s the one with the glasses on it! This paper was made for this photo that I just had to include it and because it’s from Crate Paper’s Maggie Holmes (Open Book colllection – which is on sale right now!) it’s a perfect fit!


This collection also contains a lot of burlap, of which I’m a huge fan!


Supplies: Patterned Paper (Crate Paper Craft Market Inspired with Gold), (Crate Paper Craft Market Inventory), (Crate Paper Craft Market Stitching), (Crate Paper Craft Market Thrifty), (Crate Paper Craft Market Sparkle with Gold), (Maggie Holmes Open Book Portrait), Wood Veneer (Crate Paper Craft Market), Accent Stickers (Crate Paper Craft Market), Chipboard Stickers (Crate Paper Craft Market), Standouts (Crate Paper Craft Market).

And because I was really in the mood I made another page with this collection, again featuring my daughter.


I love to use lots of layers on my page and in this case I even included a piece of the packaging: the cardstock sheet of the “standouts” package. Also, I just had to include those awesome gold accented wood veneers again:


Supplies: Patterned Paper (Crate Paper Craft Market Inventory), (Crate Paper Craft Market Stitching), (Crate Paper Craft Market Thrifty), (Crate Paper Craft Market Fresh Paint), Wood Veneer (Crate Paper Craft Market), Accent Stickers (Crate Paper Craft Market), Chipboard Stickers (Crate Paper Craft Market), Standouts (Crate Paper Craft Market).

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! Have a fab weekend!

  2. Those pages are so different - but both so lovely..
    I know what you mean - sometimes there are papers i would love to work with so much.
    But i could not manage - they do not fit my scrapbookingstyle or my photos...
    but hey - keep on trying ;-)

  3. Leuk om te zien hoe je met één kit twee van zulke verschillende, maar supermooie meidenlay-outs weet te maken. Ze zijn beide prachtig! En wat staat de rode bril Manon goed! Ik heb ook eigenlijk een bril nodig (draag nu de heel dag lenzen met sterkte -2, maar heb daar erg veel last van), maar ik kan er nooit een vinden die me echt goed staat.
