49 and Market Layout - Moonlit Garden The Good Life & This is our Life

Hello,

Have you been following along with my sharing of the many pages of this album? Phew, 6 pages to go!

Good Times and This is our Life are the titles for today. The light blues, greys and beiges made it quite tricky to take photos that give the layouts justice!

I am still undecided as to which photos I will use the album for... Suggestions?

The Kaszazz 12x12 pages fit perfectly in with the colours of the elements from the Kits. I had quite a few of the Kaszazz papers in my stash, so luckily I was able to repeat some of the base pages for the layouts.

Be sure to pop in again soon for the next layouts!

Until then,

Hello,

Continuing on with my Moonlit Garden layouts, todays pages are Moments to be Remembered and Happiness Lives Here. Ticket stubs, labels and cute little birds are more of the embellishments included in the Kits.

Following is another of the pages from the Ultimate Page Kit. I actually followed the layout inspiration instructions included in this Kit for the 4 pages and pretty much did the same for the other kits, however extended the others to fit onto the larger base pages.

When I added the photo frames to the pages. I partially adhered them to white card, leaving one side open to be able to slip in photos when I decide what to use the album for!

See you again shortly with more pages.

49 and Market Layout - Moonlit Garden Glimpse in Time & Good Times

Hello,

Glimpse in Time and Good Times are the next 2 layouts. Every layout has an added feature of a hidden pocket which holds journaling cards. As there is not a lot of space left on the pages, I have added the pocketed cards to add the details of the photos. The "Today" at the top of the layout is one of the journaling cards in the pocket for this page.

The page below is one of the layouts from the Ultimate Page Kit. This Kit featured (4) 12x12 layouts. Once again, I made allowance for a pocket for journaling cards and have used the "Today" card on this layout also.

Hope you are enjoying my layouts so far, as there are many more!

Have a fantastic day!
