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!

49 and Market Layout - Moonlit Garden Delight in Life & Favourite Photo

Hello,

Continuing with the layouts I have created with the 49 and Market Moonlit Garden Kits, I have called these pages - Delight in Life and Favourite Photo. The kits also included buttons, small paperclips and hinges.



The page below was created using one of the Clusters - the Kit contained 4 Clusters. I have extended this one by adding a white cardstock layer and a couple of the extra frames included in the album kit.


I have also added rhinestones, little metal flowers, and a stamped heart to all the pages.

Have you spotted my owl on the pages yet? 

Back again soon,

49 and Market Layout - Moonlit Garden Captured Photographs, Beautiful Inside & Out & Best Ever

Hello,

I have created a multi layout album using kits from 49 and Markets' Moonlit Garden Collection. I purchased the Big Picture Album Kit, the Ultimate Page Kit and the Cluster Kit.

As all three kits supplied you with many, many extra pieces, I decided to use the Kits to create 12x12 Layouts. The Album contained 8x8 layouts, which I have used as a layer on the 12x12 layouts and used the extra pieces to extend to cover the pages.

The base pages I have used in the album are from my stash of (no longer available) Kaszazz products.

I will add photos to the layouts at a later time.


This page features 2 of the clusters from the Cluster Kit:



Butterflies, barbed wire, flowers, leaves, tickets and hearts are just some of the elements included in the kits.



Thank you for visiting!

I will be back again soon with more of the pages that I have created with these kits.

Till then,
happy crafting!
