CHECK OUT SOME OF OUR FUN NEW LAYOUT KITS

The gorgeous Yvette Fanciulli has designed some fresh and fun new layout kits for us.

Each one includes a little bit of mixed media so if you're not a fan or just haven't tried it before, these are a great introduction to trying a little bit of mixed media on your pages.

They come with instructions and full colour photos so you can create them how they were designed or design your own page with the elements in the kit.  You can always add some bits out of your own stash too.

This is a double page layout kit featuring the beautiful Winter Rose collection from Uniquely Creative.  All the beautiful frames are cut for you from Uniquely Creative's new Rose Gold cardstock and using new frame dies from Uniquely Creative.

You have to love layout kits that allow you the option to pop lots of pics on the page to tell the whole story.  This layout does just that and it is embellished with beautiful hand coloured floral elements from a Uniquely Creative cut and colour cut apart sheet.  The kit also includes a full pack of the large matt board words from Celebr8 and these are coloured to add lots of fabulous punch to the page.

How fun is this page and there are so many things you can do with these versatile little elements.  We have included a second sheet of paper and additional titles so you can easily turn this into a double page layout if you wish.

The simplicity and vibrancy of this page make any photo pop  when you frame it with the panels provided.  Add the Celebr8 matt board flourishes, title  and butterflies and you will have a beautiful fun layout perfect for any photo.  Change your inking colour to suit your photo or your favourite colour.

We see layouts like this all the time but going to the effort of actually cutting all the circles often puts us off actually doing it.  Well it's done for you in this kit and all the thinking about what patterns and what colours to put where is also done for you.  That doesn't mean to say you can't change it up however you like but it's a great start to get you motivated.  Again, it features some Celebr8 matt board which gives such a fabulous circle frame with flourished floral effects, it's just  so much fun!!!

This was meant to be a class Yvette would share with you all last month however given the virus, we had to kit it so you get even more options.  All the die cutting is done for you.  We have included one page of watercolour with texture paste already on it if you want to use that or don't have paste or there is a blank page of watercolour card you can create your own stencilling on.

Your kit also includes a mini mark making stamp or a voucher so you can pick your own from the shelves in store.

Look how much is in your kit!!!!

I just love a splash of hot pink every now and again and when it's paired with all these beautiful shades of pink and those gorgeous monstera leaves, it's just a winning combination.

You even get some extra bits to create a matching card if you like or again you could use these bits to make a matching page if you'd prefer.

We hope you like these kits as much as we do and look forward to seeing your creations.

We will have these on our kit page very soon!!!

Remember we are open today Saturday 23rd May and tomorrow Sunday 24th May 10am - 2pm.

Come on in and say hello.

NEW EASTER, GNOMES and DISNEY lines from PHOTO PLAY for 2020

Photo Play became a major feature in the store last year with many unique and versatile collections being released.  They seem to set themselves apart from other companies steering away from the generic abstract base and continuing to release some themed collections that you the customers seemed to be missing.

2020 seems to be another great year for Photo Play and A Place to Create if the first few months are anything to go on.

First we saw their ANOTHER DAY AT THE PARK collection release (it was actually late 2019 but only got to us early  2020) - bringing with it finally a Disney feel collection for anyone whose ever been to "the happiest place on earth" anywhere around the world.  

The range is designed by the Art Director of Photo Play, Becky Fleck Moore and for any of you have been around for years (like some of us), Becky has been a household name in the scrapping industry for years with her fabulous page maps books which I still own to this day and can't part with.

In store, we teamed this range with fabulous ribbons, chippies and embellishments to create a stand filled with everything you need to scrap your Disney memories.

***************************************

       With more bright colours and another lost 

                  and nearly forgotten theme,  

                    came LITTLE BUILDER.

             A vibrant collection of papers and 

                 embellishments for every 

              childhood obsession with diggers!

Whether you are a card maker 

or scrapbooker, there is always a need to have this cool 

collection on hand.  

With bold patterns and fun colours, there are so many 

papers that can be used for every childhood page or 

birthday cards.

The packs and individual papers are in store now

 along with loads of fabulous co-ordinating 

ribbons and some cool chipboard sentiments

to match.

***************************************

As if that wasn't enough cuteness, TULLA AND NORBERT hit the stores with their gorgeous gnome lifestyles and mushroom papers.  

Who doesn't love some cute little gnomes and Tulla and Norbert are adorable.

With matching stamps and dies, papers and colouring sheets, it's such a fun line.

 ***************************************

And of course because we are already thinking about EASTER, our new EASTER display includes this new line from Photo Play also.

EASTER WISHES is filled with so many fun elements and we are sure you will love it as much as we do.

All these ranges are in store now - have you seen them?

Come and say hi to the new owner, Karenina, or catch up with Gayle (yes she's back at work on Tuesdays and some Saturdays starting this week), wish Carmel a happy birthday for last week, or help Sharon hobble around on her fractured foot.....whatever your motivation, we'd love to see you.

Have a fabulous week everybody.
