Washington Album :: Let's Take A Walk + Video!

Why hello there!!
Today's layout is a divided page! This one is for my Washington album and I love working with these page protectors (I will probably start project life as well, working on my plan).
I don't have a photo of the supplies this time around since everything was already cut and I had a plan! 

Here is the video!

And here is a closer look at the finished page!

This lovely little page will sit to the left of my Blue Sky layout!

I so love this little arrow! As I mentioned in the video it was cut from my Silhouette Cameo. Just search arrows and it should pop up along with a ton of other cut arrows. If you guys haven't noticed.... I'm a little obsessed! No idea why ;)

I LOVE the Dear Lizzy products. Sometimes I have a hard time using adorable products but I try to push myself to use what I have so I don't grow tired of it :)

Sooo... another arrow! And these tiny little letter stickers that I am in love with! They are from BasicGrey, these ones here were exclusive to a Studio Calico kit but they offer other colors of a full sheet here.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

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

IMG_2321-001
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!

IMG_2434-001
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!

IMG_2429-001

IMG_2436-001
I love that little camera brad! Sooo cute!! And the little cabochon flowers are handmade by me! So fun to make! (take forever though)

IMG_2427-001
IMG_2439-001
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

IMG_2432-001
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!

I am bringing you another Christmas layout today!
Here are the supplies I pulled for this page

IMG_2213-001
 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)

IMG_2252-001
So in love with the leopard print and Christmas combo!! And those Thickers are great for a Holiday layout! (purchased from Hobby Lobby)

IMG_2255-001
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!!

IMG_2249-001
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!

IMG_2256-001
Can you tell I'm addicted to sewing on paper? :)

IMG_2258-001
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!!

Keeping Track of 2012 :: Reflection + Video

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.

IMG_2140-001

And here is the process video!


Annnnnnd a closer look at the layout :)


IMG_2159-001
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!

IMG_2180-001
This red arrow I got from a Studio Calico kit worked perfectly for this page. And I loooove that stamp!!

IMG_2194-001

IMG_2184-001

IMG_2178-001
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!

IMG_2186-001
I am obsessed with putting glitter on wood veneer :)

IMG_2200-001

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
IMG_1645-001

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!

Forever Red Exclusively at Bath & Body Works

And another post for today! 
This post is highlighting my favorite product that I received from the Cosmo VoxBox.

Now remember, I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster's VoxBox program! 
If you've read the review post then you know by now my favorite was the Forever Red perfume exclusively  from Bath & Body Works!!
forever red
Here is the product information!
Experience Our Most Luxurious Fragrance Ever!
Bath & Body Works' most luxurious longest lasting fragrance blends opulent noted of fiery red pomegranate and delicate peche de vigne, a rare and fleeting French peach. Soft petals of red osmanthus give way to notes of addictive velvety marshmallow and a surprising finale of rich vanilla rum that leaves an unforgettable impression.

Forever Red is available in:
Eau du Parfum
Fine Fragrance Mist
Rollerball & Lip Wand Duo
Shower Gel
Body Lotion
Triple Moisture Body Cream
Shimmer Mist
Golden Sugar Scrub

Alrighty then, more of my opinions on this product!
I'll start off by saying I am a huge Bath & Body Works fan/customer! I love how many varieties of scents they offer and that they carry an entire line for each scent so you don't have to mix it with other products. 
I wasn't surprised when they came out with another awesome line (Forever Red). I was however surprised on how much I love this scent. I am picky about what I spray on myself since a lot of perfumes give me headaches from being to strong. Forever Red last long without being over powering when you wear it. 
The scent is so warm and just yummy that it's perfect for the holidays however, I can see myself wearing this even in the hotter months. The packaging is cute and seriously.... if you have no idea what this smells like then you should go check it out!!

I normally wear body sprays during the day and perfumes when I know I'm going out for the night, but I find myself wearing this one during the day also since it's, once again, not over powering. The smell reminds me of something but I can not think of what it is!! The product description of the smells are dead on. You get such a great mix of everything and it goes together soooo nicely!!

If you aren't sure what to get that special someone this year (or just want to spoil yourself) then I would recommend Forever Red!
You can check out their products in a store near you or if you are daring enough and taking my word on it then you can visit their website to make the purchase! (Don't forget to sign up for exlusive coupons and offers)
***
Again, I am not being paid to talk about this product, I simply received it in my Cosmo VoxBox from Inflenster.com to test it out and to give my honest opinion! And I standby Forever Red because it's just straight up yummy goodness! I totally need to purchase the big bottle :)

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