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.

Mommy's Little Helper

Good morning everyone! Today I have a layout featuring my favorite little man; my son William. He's nine now, and I just love looking at his pictures from when he was tiny. The time goes by so fast! When he was little (and even now actually) he loved to help me around the house. The broom was one of his favorite "toys". Gotta love our little helpers.

I used a sketch from Stick it Down for this challenge. It is the March single sketch challenge. I had a blast playing with it. I used bits and pieces from a summer kit from Noel Mignon. I love how long her kits last!

I used glitter Thickers for the tittle. I love how many colors they come in! I think I have most every color too. I used regular sewing thread to the button embellishment and to outline the title.

This "So Very Thankful..." card was actually the bottom of a tag. I didn't want the entire tag, so I just cut it off to use the saying. 

I love using banners to add to a layout. They offer a lot of simplistic flair. I used one banner for my journaling, which I did by hand this time. I used more of that regular sewing thread to make a sloppy loop and add some color. I always use my photos for color inspiration. Can you find the white, green, teal and blue in the pictures?

I hope you enjoyed looking over my layout. Please leave me some blog love and let me know your thoughts.
