Washington Album :: Here At Last

Hello hello there! 

I have have a double spread today but no video, sorry!!

Here are some layouts for the Washington album with the divided page protectors! Love these things!

Some close ups :)

The awesome yellow background paper is from the Dear Lizzy 5th and Frolic collection by American Crafts, The pink paper is a cut out from a sheet I received in a Studio Calico kit called Vivid05. The thickers are Rockabye, the blue paper is from an older Echo Park line, some Studio Calico wood veneer of course and My Minds Eye enamel dots!!

Always have to add a date somewhere!

Oh how I love October Afternoon stickers ;) This one was just perfect for this page; from the Fly A Kite line. The arrow was a negative background piece I cut from my Cameo, those little pieces always come in handy! And of course another enamel dot!

I love this little "layout", the stamp (exclusive to a SC kit) was the perfect size for this wood veneer frame!

I didn't have a lot to work with when it came to the pink paper so I cut a small strip from that card to bring a little bit to the second page. The letters are from Prima Marketing, they were an off white color so I used some Mr. Huey's in Opaque White to brighten them up a bit!

And here is the last little "layout". I knew I wanted some pace to journal and I usually like mine hidden so sewing this pocket was simple, just cut down the tag a bit to fit better, added another negative piece and enamel dot and called it done! :)

Thank you for stopping by! 

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

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!!

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.

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 :)

Looking back at 2012 Instagram style!

I've been through a lot this year, lots of ups and downs and I hope 2013 has good things coming for me and all of you! Hope everyone had an awesome New Years! 

Take care!!

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!!
