Layout :: Just Keep Smiling + Video!

Hello hello!!

Glad to be sharing a layout with you today! I was so very close to losing all the footage from recording, but thank goodness I figured it out after several tries :)

Here are the supplies I pulled for this layout

I am so in love with the soft colors!

Here is the almost lost process video :)

And here is a closer look at the final layout!

This is probably my favorite part of the layout. I normally layer everything or have my title on something other than the background paper but I do love how this turned out!

I love that little camera brad! Sooo cute!! And the little cabochon flowers are handmade by me! So fun to make! (take forever though)

Love the little banner too! I know the products were from an older Dear Lizzy line, but I'm sure it's safe to say I'm probably not the only on who was hoarding some of these adorable products! lol

Annnnnd the date, because I made it a great habit to add the date to every layout I make now. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!! 

Have a great day!

Layout :: Lights + Video

Hello hello!

I am bringing you another Christmas layout today!

Here are the supplies I pulled for this page

 Although I ended up changing some of the things I pulled I still like sharing a photo with you of my original thought process and kind of where I was going with this layout :)

Here is the process video!

And a closer look at the finished layout!

(Sorry for the glare)

So in love with the leopard print and Christmas combo!! And those Thickers are great for a Holiday layout! (purchased from Hobby Lobby)

Also love this POW glitter paper! It is thin enough to use with punches and it doesn't shed! I received it in a Studio Calico kit  but would love to buy more!!

Anything can look better with a tag ;).... well almost anything hehe! I love the bakers twine! It's by Martha Stewart and I've had it forever, perfect for Christmas!

Can you tell I'm addicted to sewing on paper? :)

And another photo of the sparkly snowflake because... who doesn't love a glittered up snowflake?? :)

Hope you enjoyed! If you have any questions or request then don't be shy!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!!

Christmas layout!!

I know some people like scrapbooking previous Christmas photos around the holidays, but not me. I love making my layouts as soon as I can that way I will actually scrap them and not keep holding it off. 

So that being said, here is my first Christmas layout I am bring you! I don't have a ton this year so it won't be an overkill I hope lol. 

Here are the supplies I pulled.

And here is the process video!

Annnnnnd a closer look at the layout :)

Let me just say... I LOVE the leopard print and Christmas mix! I think it's so cool to bring something in that is totally none traditional!

This red arrow I got from a Studio Calico kit worked perfectly for this page. And I loooove that stamp!!

Choosing which stickers for the date was a pain in the booty! At first I had some Crate stickers from the Christmas line, and realized they didn't have numbers. So I tried for some October Afternoon stickers that were the same color (aqua) and I didn't like introducing that color to this layout. So then I went to some green OA letter sickers but it was a darker green than  the star paper I used. Then it hit me! The new Studio Calico kit came with these cute little red alpha and number stickers by Basic Grey. They were the perfect match!

I am obsessed with putting glitter on wood veneer :)

Hope you enjoyed! I normally have a plan for a layout... well kind of but this one I really didn't have a clue as to what I wanted to do. I am happy with the way it turned out though!!

Thank you for stopping by! Please leave a comment :)

Keeping Track of 2012 :: Happy You + Video

Hello hello! It feels like it's been forever since I made a layout!

Soooo that's what I'm bringing you today!

I used the November Studio Calico kit with a few items from the October kit!

Here are the supplies I pulled

And here is the process video :)

I love the white background paper! This was my first time using an embossed paper like this so I wanted to keep it on the simple side. I love the way  the glitter stars came out and they match perfectly with that piece of glitter paper I used! Here is a closer look at the finished layout!

What is your favorite way to dress up wood veneer? Also if you ever have any request feel free to leave them in the comments!!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!!

Hey there!! I have a bright layout to share with you today!

I used the Studio Calico November Kit and an addon :)

I did pull some of my own supplies for this layout, and here is what I picked!



The washi tape, sequins, thread, spray, thickers and the orange and green letter stickers are all from my stash.

 

Here is the making process!

 

And here is a closer look at the finished layout!

 

I have seen some layouts similar to this with the arrows going around the photo, and for this one I did get inspired by one of the guest designers over at Studio Calico. I love the way this layout turned out!

 

 

I have to say that these skinny white thickers are probably some of my favorites. I love how tall they are so you can still see the title loud and clear, yet they are so skinny that its easy to make a longer title with these if you have to! The October Afternoon letter stickers were perfect for adding my title. I knew I wanted some more color and these bad boys were perfect for that!

 

 

I love adding a pop of color to the corner of layouts!

 

 

The arrows took some time. I had to stamp and cut out each one then sew each one on. I love the way it looks though and it adds so much to this page!

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!!

Hello there! Back with another layout and vdeo share!

This layout is once again using the Studio Calico October Kit

(Roller Rink and the Rainbow Kneesocks addon)

Here are the supplies I pulled to use for this layout!

 

 



I love this Love paper! I knew I wanted to keep this layout soft and pretty sinple and that Love paper was perfect for this layout!

 

Here is the video of the making!

 

 

And here is the finished page!

 

 

I absolutely love using doilies on layouts! It gives off such a girly and delicate vibe!
 

 I love how tiny these letter stickers are! The sticker page came with two colors, gray and this light blue. I knew I wanted to use the blue ones as my title and this photo was perfect for that! I also love the tab stamps this kit came with and those little dots! Way to cute!! I cut out those heart tickets with my Cameo from a paper that came in the kit, and love the way they came out!
 

 These cute hearts were also cut from the Cameo. I used a paper in the kit that I would have never bought myself. It has paper airplanes on one side and little rockets on the other. I don't have kids so I would never go for a page like that. However, I did love the blue and figured if I cut something small from that page then you can't tell what is really on it! This is one reason why I wanted to start using kits. I love the challenge of using something that you would never buy on your own!
 

Those little hearts are the extras left over from cutting the tickets out, they were to cute to not use on this layout! The stamped image was one of my own, I love to incorporate some of my own stamps and get good use out of them!

 

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope I've inspired you!

Until next time!!

:)

Hey everyone! Back again with another layout!

I just joined the Studio Calico Kit Club and my first kit was Octobers... obviously lol.

Well, when joining they were giving away a free add on kit so they sent one of those as well!

The kits are called " Roller Rink" and "Rainbow Kneesocks.

Here are the supplies I pulled from those kits for this layout.



As usual I didn't use everything I pulled. I am sure you have all been there when it comes to creating a layout :)

 

And onto the video!

 

Now for the photos!

 

 

 

 

I LOVE the primary colors in this kit and of course that wood paper :)

This whole layout was inspired just off of the green patterned and my first thought was to use my toad photo! I believe that green paper is exclusive to this months kit. I wouldn't quote me on that one.

 

Thanks for stopping by! Please leave a comment if you'd like or if you have any requests also!

Have a good one!
