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!!

Good morning everyone!!

Sarah here this morning to share a new layout with you using the XOXO Collection. I have to say that I really do love this collection! The colors are beautiful and all the pretty patterns! So many pretty bits and pieces, you can layer so much and I did a little layering of pieces in this layout.

I started out by picking out my picture and then pulling one of my favorite 8x8 patterned papers from the paper pack and adhered it to the bottom center of the page. I added a small blue photo mat around my photo and then place it at the top middle of the 8x8 paper that I had already placed down.

I liked my photo where I placed it, so I grabbed a few die-cut labels and bits and added them to the left side of my photo, tucking them under, behind and on top of it.

After I got that little bit of layering done, I jumped down to the bottom of the layout and pulled out a bunch of the die-cut circles and labels and started to lay them in a grid like design. Once I got them where I wanted them, I adhered them down and pulled out my flair buttons from the collection and picked three, and oh man was that hard cause I wanted to use them all!! lol.

Once I chose the three I was going to use, I pulled some black thread from my stash and made some little messy thread nests to go behind the flair buttons and glued them down. I went back and ruffled up the edges of the circles and papers behind my photo to add a little more dimension to my layout and then splattered a little bit of my shimmerz at the top to finish it off.

Thanks so much for checking out my layout and make sure to head to the shop and check out all the pretty new things coming in!

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to say that I'm a new member of the Fairytale club design team!! I got my first kit the other day and was so happy with it! Everything in it is made so well and the paper is good heavy quality, its all so amazing!

Tonight I shared my first layout on the Fairytale blog and I thought I would share it here too!

Make sure you go the the Fairytale blog and see all the amazing layouts, 6x8 pocket pages, pocket pages and planners that are being made over there!! And keep checking for the sneaks of Junes kit too!!

Today I'm sharing my first layout with the May, Girly and Strong kit! This kit is so beautiful! It was so hard for me to even cut into these papers, but I managed! lol I started going through this kit when I got it and saw all the bows and it made me think of this bow cut-file that I had sitting in my computer and I had never used. I decided to cut that out and started backing some of the bows with the pretty papers.

After I backed the ones I was going to back, I went back through the papers again to find my background papers. Once I chose my background, I adhered the cut-file down, layered a few of the color blocks from the cut apart sheet to my photo and popped it up on some 3D foam.

I added one of the pretty wooden paperclips to the top left of the photo. Then I broke into the ephemera die-cut pack and started on my embellishment clusters

I usually add at least 3 embellishment clusters around my layout. I don't always fallow that rule, the visual triangle rule, but I do find myself doing that quite a bit. I added some pretty sequins for some bling and was done.

I had a blast making this layout and cant wait to break into the next one!

Good morning everyone! I'm here this morning sharing my first layout with the Dream big collection and oh is this collection beautiful!

This layout is of my youngest daughter, shes almost a year old now, but I wanted to scrap an actually sonogram picture and this collection was just so pretty, I thought it was a perfect for this.

I started out of course by picking my photo, and then the hard part came! I had to actually choose between the beautiful patterned papers, and oh man was that hard, but I think I got some great ones. I started by putting the two papers a little off set from each other coming off the top of the layout. 

I started layering the pretty flowers to the right side of the photo, adding in a few label die cuts. I decided that I didn't want a huge title on this layout, I wanted the picture to be the focus, not the title. So I used a label cut apart and a die cut word and made a small title, This Happy moment, on the flower cluster. I liked how that looked but I wanted something to soften it up a little, so I grabbed a pretty 4 inch doily from the shop and layered it between the two papers.

To the left side of the photo I added another little cluster of flowers and of course I had to add a pretty little flair badge, with it saying Hello on it I thought it was perfect.

I grabbed one of the clear patterns sheets I had got with this collection and cut a strip a bit smaller then 8 inches and placed it across the top of the layout. I thought I was going to be done at this point but I wanted a little color at the bottom of my layout too, So I used a strip of the left over that I had cut off from the top of the layout and added it to the bottom, added a little bit of black water color drops and called it good.

Thanks so much for coming by the blog today and checking out what I made and this beautiful collection. Make sure you head over to the shop and grab it for yourself too! There are so many thins this collection can be used for and you have to admit its just so darn pretty!!

Good morning everyone! Happy Fri-yay!! I'm so happy its the starting of the weekend! We have plans this weekend and I'm hoping for lots of fun. Do y'all have any plans?? 

Well I am here this morning to share with you a layout I made using the With all my heart collection from Pretty little Studio.

I started out a little different with this layout, I chose a dark background and I don't really ever do that! Lol I usually go with a white background, but this was a nice change. I actually have a few more layouts in progress with dark backgrounds too. I'm definitely having fun with it!

Then I broke out a few of my embellishment packs, tags, frames and die-cuts. 

I have had such a hard time not using all of those beautiful flower die-cuts on one layout!! There are so many in a pack and they are all so pretty!

Anyways, I started layering behind my photo strip, added in a cut-file and decided I wanted something more on the layout, So I started a cluster with some of the same type of items up on the right hand side. I pulled out 2 of the flair packs that I have, another thing that is hard for me not to use all at once! lol So I widdled it down and only used 3.lol 

I added a some little thread nests behind my flairs and then went to add the title. I got a few different alphas from this collection so I thought I'd use at least 2 of them for my title. 

I wanted to play with the title and make it a bit goofy since the photos were too, So I went with, The cats Me-WOW lol. I love my kids, they have so much fun with snapchat. My sister actually introduced them to it and they haven't stopped playing with it since!

Finishing my layout off, I used my Heidi Swapp color shine in gold, sprinkled it around the page and that was it for this layout.

I have included a few more up close pictures for you to take a look at.

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking my layout out. Make sure to head over to the Pretty Little Studio shop and grab this collection while you can and check out  Blooming Hearts. Oh and make sure to keep checking back because there will be even more new collection added soon!!

Thanks so much and have a great weekend!!!
