Loved / 12x12 LO Stash Scrapping

Hello everyone! 

Today I thought I'd share a layout with you that I created a while back. I'm just now getting the bloom collection, yes I know, so late to the game here!! lol But I still love it and all the pretty little pieces!

If you follow me on instagram, facebook or here on my blog, you might know I recently had a baby. I didn't think I would share some of the layouts that I created because they were quite personal. But having a baby is personal and not always completely...covered I guess, lol so some I wont scrap/share lol, but I thought this one was ok to share and I love this picture! One of my favorites from that day.

The day I had her was so CRAZY, I was actually at the hospital 2 times that day and finally had her. My mom got to be there and thats who you see in the picture with me, so I have three lovely generations here. It was amazing.

Ok so back to the layout, lol. I started with a cut-file with this layout. I dont usually do that, I usually have papers or a collection or a group of things in mind but I found this cute little deer and it had little hearts on it. I know I wanted to scrap this picture and that deer was to precious so in my mind it was perfect. 

I pulled out my bloom collection and backed my little dear, placed it on a white background and started my layering behind my photo, adding a gorgeous doily from Pretty little studio. I did a little fussy cutting for those flowers, they were begging to be fussy cut! 

I wasnt happy with the layout on just the white background, I wanted more color but for it to be kept simple still so I trimmed it down and put the pink and white plaid behind it and was happy with the pop of color and drawing more of the pink out. I added few of the chipboard pieces and pulled out my gold glittered word thickers and finished it off with a little bit of gold color shine.

Here Sleeps a girl / Pretty Little Studio DT

Morning everyone! Hope your week went well!
Our family has been going threw some pretty ruff stuff this past week, unfortunately we had a death in the family and to make it worse it was a very young little one. Its always ruff with a death in the family but when a child passes away its even harder.  All I want to do right now is hold my children close and love them.

Today I decided to scrapbook a little moment, nothing big, just a picture of my daughter from when she fell asleep on the couch, but I think those moments are just as important.
I used the Pretty Please, Here comes the sun collection by Marie-Pierre Capistran. I love how bright and fun this collection is but also how it can be used for softer layouts.

I started this layout with my picture and my title and this collection was the 1st thing to pop in my head for this layout. My title reads, Here sleeps a girl with a head full of magical dreams, a heart full of wonder and hands that will shape the world. I found that quote on pinterest, I love looking for titles there. I layered some of the journaling cards under my picture and added some other layers of the beautiful patterned papers and I just had to use the fluffy little clouds, I kinda have a thing for them right now! lol I also used some of the vellum tape, with a little sewing to make sure that later down the road, nothing comes off.

I added some paper strips to the right side of there 12x12 background and sewed on them as well to add some more texture. I popped a few clouds up and a few hearts and added some Heidi Swapp color shine, Gold Lame and that was it.

I hope you enjoyed this layout and I hope you come back to check out more of what I make. If you don't want to miss anything that I post feel free to subscribe to my blog.

#So Many Blessings / Hip Kit CT

Good morning everyone!! Its Tuesday, so were past Monday!! whoo! The weekend is slowly getting closer! lol

Well I'm here today to share with you a layout I made for the Hip Kit Club Creative team, with the October 2015 Kits and some of the cutfiles that exclusive the the Hip Kit club. Some of the files are available if you are just a registered member but we do have some that are only available to subscribers too.

I used a cutfile from Nicole Nowosad along with a piece of paper from Pebbles, Jen Hadfield, DIY Home collection. I cut out six rectangles and made then slightly smaller then a 4x6 do that there would be a bit of white between each of them, I added some washi paper from Jens DIY Home line under a few of the cut outs and then sewed a few lines threw each card. After that it came together pretty easy. I did a little layering behind the photo with bits and pieces from the DIY Home line along with a card that says Hello from the printed chipboard shapes from the same collection as well. I also used an exclusive Project Life card created by Kim Watson, who also created the fall wreath behind my photos in the black and white paper from the DIY Home line.

After I got all of my cut files adhered down I started adding pieces from Pink Paislees Cedar Lane collection. That pretty feather paper clip, just so cute! The gorgeous acetate tag with gold foiling! And the pretty glittered gold hearts! Swoon!!

This picture was actually taken the first official day of fall this year, its still quite warm here, but not so hot that your dying from heat, but still nice enough to enjoy a nice cool Popsicle from the ice cream truck,lol

Well I hope you come join in on the fun over on Facebook page, there are weekly challenges that are so fun! And swing by the shop and check out the awesome kits!! The November kit is already up to look at!! Lots of exclusives in that kit!!
