I Love Us!

 Good afternoon! I'm bringing you another layout that I completed in May. This picture is a selfie that my husband and I took together. We drove up to some land that we love after a professional photo shoot (so we were dressed up in matching clothes) and decided to take this picture. I love it! 

I used Teresa Collin's Urban Market set for this layout. I adore the blues and silvers! 

I love using stamps for the date. I stamped several times with the ink lightening a little with each stamp. (Aren't we cute?)

I typed my journaling and cut it into strips. It's one of my most favorite ways to add journaling. I used lots of different patterned papers for this page. So much fun!

The swirls of thread are simple sewing thread. I've started collecting many different colors because it makes a great accent. Speaking of accents, aren't those Thickers awesome? 

Another close up of the thread. It works perfectly with this page!

Thank you for looking at my page. I enjoyed making it, and I hope you enjoyed looking at it.

Christmas Elf

I have been waiting to reveal this layout for about a month. I love this layout! It makes me happy just looking at it. Let's Get Sketchy had a challenge for layouts to be included in a special holiday edition of their digital inspiration page called Get Inspired and mine was chosen to be included! What an honor.

I used Teresa Collins' Candy Cane Lane collection for this layout. I love everything Christmas, and I really love this collection!

Here was the original sketch. Isn't it great? I love Laura Whitaker's work.

These Thickers are yummy! They didn't come with the collection, but I had to use them! I used paint to create the circles in the background. I rimmed the edge of a cup and stamped the paint on the background. I really liked when it splattered on the page.

I used two pictures and cute them down so they only focused on my little elf. I love his sweet little face!

I used sequins and snowflake sequins to embellish thus layout. They made it so much fun!

Thank you for checking out my page. Don't forget to visit Let's Get Sketchy to see all the inspiration. Happy Holidays!

Happy Girls are the Prettiest

I admit it...I think my daughter is beautiful! I'm not sure exactly where she got all that beauty, but she has it in spades. I just couldn't resist scrapping this picture of her with her gorgeous smile.

I used Teresa Collin's Urban Market line for this layout. I love the colors! I also used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches, but I turned it sideways so I could use this picture effectively.

I used two different Thickers for this big title.

I really like the colors in this line. They complimented the picture of my daughter nicely.

I adore using multiple patterns together!

I hope you enjoyed my LO. Please leave me some blog love and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Oh Christmas Tree

Welcome to the holiday season! I love scrapping Christmas pictures. I recently got Teresa Collins Candy Cane Lane kit and I just couldn't wait to use it; it's so much fun!

I used a lot of patterned papers on this LO, but they are in small bits, so it wasn't overwhelming. 

I created this LO with a Challenge #13 from Scrap and Play Challenges in mind. The challenge was to create a LO using things in your LO to represent the word THANKFUL. Here is how mine breaks down:

T - Thread, Trees, Teresa Collins

H - Happy Smiles

A - Alphas (multiple)

N - Night time photos

K - Kraft (with snowflakes)

F - Flair, Flags, Flakes

U - Uppercase Letters

L - Layers, Lawn Fawn

I layers this photo with patterned paper so it would stand out a bit. I also added stitching and sequins near it. These snowflake sequins are adorable! 

Banners and flags make me happy! Add flair and sequins....love!

Thickers are awesome! These glitter ones make me giddy. And the corrugated ones were perfect for the word tree.

See all these patterned papers? So much fun! I stitched over the top and added sequins.

I've had this tree rub-on in my stash for years. I love how it worked with the LO!

I hope you enjoyed my LO. Please leave me some blog love and let me know your thoughts. Happy Holidays!
