One Fine Day layout | Cut Cardstock DT

Good morning everyone!! Are you happy its Friday?!? I am! lol I'm ready for the weekend and some fun outdoors! Today I'm here to share a cardstock heavy layout!! And I love it! I ran 7 different cardstocks; Stardream Metallic Copper, Textured Pink Carnation, Canvas Textured Wild Salmon, Textured Flame Tree Orange, Orange Zest, Canvas Textured Rubber Ducky Yellow and Canvas Textured Galax Olive Green, through my sizzix using a fringe die. I ran a piece of the Cougar White Smooth CardStock through my silhouette and cut out a bunch of leaves. I saved the ones I cut out but I actually wanted to use the other part as my background.

I grabbed a random piece of paper from my stash and laid my fringe pieces out on it so that I knew I had enough pieces and that it was in the order I wanted. I also checked to make sure that my top piece would sit correctly. I added 3d foam adhesive to the back of the cutfile and placed it over the top, after I had gotten all the fringe pieces stuck down.

I pulled out the stash kit I've been working with. I added a few paper layers behind my photo and stuck it down, then moved on to adding embellishments and finding a title.

I thought this sticker that said One fine day, was perfect! This day had been fantastic and the kiddos had had so much fun, it worked! I pulled the leafy bits from the sticker sheet and added those in a few places. Along with a few other stickers that I layered in the bottom left corner, the left side of my photo and up at the top as well.

I pulled some older supplies from my kit and added some of the shiny rhinestone wooden buttons here and there, decided I wanted white splatters and that ended this layout! Hope you enjoyed this layout!

Adventure / Stash Scrappin

Good morning everyone!! Im here this morning sharing a stash scrap that I did.

I recently made another layout with a circle cut out of my cardstock for Bella Blvd and I found this piece of cardstock that I had cut an ever larger circle out out and decided to use it too.

 

 I knew with this layout I wanted the majority of the color to be with mats and leaves behind my photos, so I pulled papers from my 6x6 paper pad that were all on the lighter side. I used four different patterned papers to fill in the circle. Once I had this done, I decided before I adhered the cardstock to the pattern papers I wanted to pull out some of my Shimmers and add them on the white Cardstock, but I still wanted to keep it light and not to busy.

  

 While the Shimmerz were drying I decided how I wanted my photos and then started layering my papers behind them. I had already chose some of my papers and cut leaves out of them on my silhouette, so once my I adhered my cardstock to the four patterned papers for the inside of the circle I laid my photos and there mats where I wanted and started tucking leaves in here and there. 

I went back and dug in my stash and found a few little wood pieces from another collection and since they were fall themed and the colors went along with my collection, I popped a few on here and there. I liked that they added a little shine with the epoxy part in the center and the fact that it added a little more dimension.

I finished my layout after tucking a few more leaves and pumpkins tucked around. I was actually really happy with the way this layout turned out, I love all the light colors, then the bright colors behind my photos and the pops of leave!
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out what I had up today and I hope you come back again soon!!

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.

XOXO / 12X12 Stash scrapping

Hello everyone!! Happy Saturday! I'm a bit late in the day posting this, but I thought I'd share it anyhow.

This is my 2 youngest daughters. Older loves to spend time with her little sister, any time she gets! Baby was getting tummy time and older was sitting there talking to her and playing with her. I thought they looked cute so I snapped a few pics and this was my favorite.

I used some of what was left from the last kit I got from Hip Kits when I was on the design team to make this layout. I love all the Maggie Holmes, Gather collection. Everything I used was on the soft side. I wanted it that way because of the photo I used.

I added a few close up pictures for you to take a look at

Thanks so much for you coming by and checking out what I made, if you dont want to miss any of my posts, feel free to follow me.

This just Happened / 12x12 stash scrap

When I cleaned my scrap room a while back, I found a bunch of partial kits or left overs, bits and pieces from when I was on the Hip Kit club design team. So I thought I might as well bust into them and start to play with them some more. They have a lot of life left to them!! lol

I had seen some papers that had a water colored look to them, but I didn't have one in the colors I wanted, so I decided to make one and I LOVE the way it turned out. I also thought Id use one of the Hip Kit files and stitch on my page, but I decided to use this metallic gold embroidery floss, yeah not something I'll do again!! I love the way it turned out and all but man was it a pain. I've sewn with regular embroidery floss and it was way easy, but for some reason this metallic stuff got stuck SOOOO much and separated constantly! 

Anyways, lol, it turned out good and thats all that matters to me :)

This layout is about my daughter and hubby. They were just sitting on the couch watching TV, my daughter was eating golf fish, she turned and asked daddy if he wanted one, of course he said yes, but when she went to feed it to him she did like we use to when we fed her, lol, we'd open our mouths trying to get her to do the same and she thought she had to show him how to too lol. To funny.

Here are a few up close pics for ya to check out, hope you enjoy it and come back to see what else I make, thanks :)

Christmas Puppy

Just a quick little share. 

I was flipping threw my pictures and found a few old ones. This one was Christmas a few years back. My boys wanted a dog so bad, we already had 2 cats, but they wanted a dog. 

Me and my husband had decided against it for now, thought we'd wait, well one day my husband calls me from work, says he found someone that was giving away these cute puppies and wanted to know what I thought. I was like, I thought we'd decided to wait? He told me ok and that was that. 

Well apparently that wasn't that lol. 

He came home early from work, with puppy in toe. Surprise to me!! lol Of course I ended up saying yes cause he was too cute! My husband was like, I knew if I brought him home you couldn't say no, lol. And he was so right. 

They were so happy when they came home from school and saw this little guy laying under the tree. He had curled up and fell asleep and the kiddos didn't even notice at 1st, until he sat up and a few ornaments fell off the tree, lol, It was awesome, I wish I would have had a camera then to see their faces!   

I used Hip Kit clubs November kit 2015 kits to do this layout. All the awesome papers, bits and bobs, all came from that kit. I love how everything. I was going threw everything in my scrappy room when I had found the rest of this kit from last year,lol. I love finding things I thought I didn't have anymore! :)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Stash Scrap Thursday!!

It is way later then I wanted to get this up but there has been a bunch going on here!! I guess its just getting to be that time of year lol. But I'm loving it! Gott o go to the school and have Thanksgiving lunch with the kiddos and had fun with that. We got our food and sat outside on the benches in the sun since there were so many people. It was just warm enough to enjoy it!

Well this week I decided to pull out papers from my October Hip Kit. I cant believe with everything I've made that I still have more of this kit left, lol. But I've been loving it! 

I love this picture of my parents with my kiddos and my niece. All of them looking goofy as all get out!!

My youngest playing hide and seek with here pool water gun. Bare foot and all lol. I just wanted to scrap this and I actually journaled! That's something I rarely do, But its also something I'm trying to get better about. Not just the pictures but the words too.

And this is the last for tonight, and wow its late lol. But this is a picture my hubby took one day and I didnt even know until he showed me weeks later. Youngest and me were sick and cuddled up on the couch, paying no attention to anyone lol  I love these little things!

Sorry its so late today and thanks for coming by to check it out anyways! Life is crazy at times, but I'm in love with it all!!

Hope you have a great Friday!!!

Live, roam, Love / Stash scrap

Well its Thursday, so close to the weekend! 

This week has gone by way faster than I expected, but I believe that has more to do with one of my little ones getting sick and then me getting right after! He's better and back at school but it seems that I just cant bounce back as fast as he can, this getting older stuff stinks!

Well I've been feeling a bit better and have been jonsing to scrap, so I got in my scrappy room last night and decided to make a page. It took way longer then it should have, thats for sure lol.

I went in and grabbed my Dear Lizzy, Documentary collection, it made it way easier since I had it all grouped together lol less work for me! I already had photos pulled that I was wanting to scrap so I grabbed this one of my youngest daughter. This was her first visit to the zoo and OMG did she love it!!

She loved seeing all the animals, getting to feed some, whooping along with the monkeys, it was so much fun!

I didn't actually have this picture pulled to scrap with this collection and I'm kinda glad I was sick and I ended up pulling this line, because I didn't even notice in the beginning how these colors went perfectly with this picture. The pretty purple matches perfectly with her shades and shirt and the blues and greens and the pattern were awesome with the water in the background! 

I did a go to design for me, the paper strips down one side and a bit of the same on the other side for some balance. Then I added my picture to the heavier side and started embellishing, adding bits and pieces to the opposite side as well. Something like this usually takes me 30 minutes, something I do when my mojo is low, but this tool me almost 1 & 1/2 hours.

Im ok with that though, I like how it turned out so its all good. I'm really hoping that I'm back up and ready for Halloween this weekend! My kiddos are all looking forward to it so much!

Happy weekend all!
