love layout

I had all kinds of fun using the Girl kit + add on + high strung stamp set for this selfie layout of my niece.  The black patterned paper is stamped and clear embossed with the word love.  I used two white cardstock sheets from my stash (punched one with my notebook punch), then layered the heart paper on top.


I cut the wood veneer butterflies apart then inked and clear embossed them to give a bit more shine to the layout.  The rosettes I made out of patterned paper were a nice circular addition to the page.  Once I had all that in place I went through the die cuts and such and just started to play with it all.


I knew I would end up putting a lot on this layout so I kept all my elements overlapping each other so it would read as one big cluster. To finish it all off, I used a few white enamel dots from my stash to dot around the page and called it done!  
I made a YouTube video of this layout for you.  Enjoy!

lovely

Hi there.  I have a layout to share with stuff from my stash.  I used a bunch of wood veneer on this one.  I was going for a more monochromatic look.


This page is about how scarred Maggie is of the sounds my camera makes.  I am trying to get her past this slowly and patiently.  The sound of the auto focus & shutter scare her.  I reached my hand out to her in hopes of calming her and she rested her little head in my palm.  (that's how I got this shot).


I used the feathers as a symbol of softness on this page and the cute little fox fit well with my theme here too.  I like the scattered look of a bunch of embellishments on a page, however it is sometimes difficult to achieve a random look.

I am happy I got this little story down in my album it's a difficult one for Maggie to overcome but she's trying :)

I made a YouTube video of this layout as well.  Enjoy!

biscuits

Made a biscuit layout.  I never had any luck making these till I found this recipe on YouTube.  It's on the Joy of Baking YouTube channel.  A must try for sure.

I used the Heart It Races kit + Add On from Scraptastic Club.  I also used a few bits from my stash. The white cardstock, hearts and enamel dots are from my stash.  
I made a YouTube video with links in the description where you can find the recipe.  Enjoy!

pegboard

Hello thought I would show my pegboard today.  I was having issues trying to keep my current Scraptastic Kits organized and my Hubby came up with this for me.


He is just too sweet.  I just floated the idea by him one day and the very next day he had it all ready to go.  I came home from work and it was all painted and dry in the driveway.  I was so pleased. He got me little shelves and all the pegs and everything.   I can see what I have at a glance and get everything put away quickly.  Thank You Sweetheart!

treats

I am still having fun with my Thriller kit from Scraptastic.  I made a layout about the cutest little chocolate candies.  I started by using the words background cut file and cut it out of white cardstock.

I put my title on a banner in the top right corner.  The black and vellum banners are embossed with a chevron embossing folder.


I chose the large OCTOBER card from the cut-a-part sheet to place my photo on.  Then added some embellishments.  I love the flair in this kit.  The 31 veneer circle is white embossed and layered over a starburst shape I cut from the black cardstock.  


I made a YouTube video for this layout as well.  Enjoy!

tln kit

Hi! I am sharing this 8.5 by 11 layout using the October TLN kit from Scraptastic.  I wanted to scrap this photo of wood veneers and this kit fit the bill perfectly.  I started by printing a digital woodgrain paper, and then cut a huge banner with woodgrain embossed paper to layer on that.

Then I went through the cards and chose these two 4 by 6 ones.  The bottom card also has a 3 by 4 card layered on top of it.  I wanted to define my journaling and this fit nicely on the larger card.



I fell in love with this cross-section of wood and cut it out as a large embellishment.  All the while reinforcing my wood theme.



I cut some letters out of cork from my stash as they have an earthy feel and go so well with the wood veneers.  Also I absolutely had to use that circular veneer with the arrow.  My favorite one in this kit! YEAH!  A few pops of red finished the page off  nicely with the cut-a-part card.


  Here is the YouTube video I made for this layout.  Enjoy!

witchy!

Hello.  I have a couple of layouts I made with the Thriller kit + Add On to share with you.  I had fun dressing up my dogs with this witch hat.  I can't say Maggie found it as much fun as I did.  Ha!


I started by choosing my two favorite papers in the kit and went from there.  I trimmed the green sheet down and used my craft knife to cut out the end of the black and white arrow.  I wanted it to layer over the photo to connect everything together.  The second arrow is from the super duper sticker sheet.

I went looking for some of the phrases and found some on the sticker sheet and cut-a-part card. They fit this photo so well.   Then, a few enamel stars scattered around and that completed this page.  



 My second layout is Teddy (with that same fab witch hat).  I used the same papers and stitched down either side of the page to add some texture.   I put the whole page on a black background to get maximum contrast and co-ordinate it with the first layout.


Did a bit of layering at the bottom of the 5 by 7 photo and again sprinkled some enamel stars around the page.  


 I used the stamp set in the top right corner of the page.  I stamped and embossed on vellum and trimmed it out.  I like the layering and translucent effect on the page.  


I had so much fun using this kit!  Thriller Rocks!

rest

Happy Thanksgiving to you!  I have a little layout to share with you.  I took this photo this summer and chuckle every time I see it.  I was playing  Frisbee with Mags and then she disappeared on me.  All I could see was her little nose and tongue sticking out from behind my chair as she was having a little rest.


I  made an embellishment column where the two papers met and loaded it all down the page.  I used the MME Cut and Paste collections and some MFT dies, oh yes and a few Dear Lizzy ephemera packs.

I made a YouTube video of this layout as well.  Enjoy!  :)

I just can't get enough selfies.  Funny none of them are mine.  LOL.  I love the selfies the kids take.  I want to scrap them ALL.  This layout video is of my daughter and her boyfriend when on vacation this summer.  I think they are just the cutest little couple.  I used the Amy Tan.  Plus One PL cards for this layout.  Enjoy the video.
