Sunset + Video

Hello!!

Today I have a quick layout to share. 

I was totally inspired by this cute simple layout made by Allison Waken

you can find the layout here!

Here are the supplies I pulled and printed

And here is the process video. This one was probably the fastest layout I've made so far!

And a closer look ;)

So simple but love it! Those arrowheads and that cute tag were custom made and printed. I'm going a little crazy with making anything cute and printing it out! 

Arizona has some pretty great sunsets!! I love seeing everyone post their view on Instagram and Facebook. Crazy how different it looks depending on the area you live in. Allison Waken also used an Arizona sunset photo and that's probably why I fell so in love with her page. 

I found this cut file online... and I tried looking again to link you to it but I can't find it! I promise I'll look again and post the link if I get lucky! And that tiny little heart stamp is adorable from Maya Road!

Here is the tag I printed. Looks like stamped images right! And those little puffy stickers from Amy Tangerine are always a great addition when you need a little something to add.

Thank you for stopping by!!

Sunshine + Video

Hello there! I finally filmed again! Seems like forever... 3 weeks is forever when it comes to videos right!?

I was totally thinking of the layout that snapping a photo of the supplies crossed my mind but here is the making process... enjoy!

And a closer look at the final page!

I so can't wait for the warm weather again!!

I haven't used a mask in forever so I was glad that the Studio Calico kit came with one. It took me a while to figure out that to do with this piece and cutting it up worked out pretty good :) I also love the tiny heart stamp I decided to add, and those ombre Thickers!! So lovely!

I finally cut into that grey paper from an older kit and love using it in small pieces!

It also feels like its been forever since I've used rubons, those Amy Tangerine ones are so cute and the sun was perfect for this page! I also love the arrow stamp, it's exclusive to 2Peas and made by Studio Calico and Hero Arts. 

Love this camera paper from Amy Tan and that little arrowhead stamp is from the same set listed above. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Washington Album :: Love This Place

I have another spread from my vacation album... I need to get this thing done already!! 

Again no video so I do apologize!!! 

I mainly used my Studio Calico February kit for these pages. I absolutely LOVE the papers that came in this kit, so brights and colorful!! 

Here are the pages :)

And a closer look!

*Drool* Love how this one turned out!! The "hello" is a cameo cut that I purchased before I bought my machine. Glad I finally put it to use!!

This little square started completely different looking but I do love it!

So I wanted to add 5 of these little potty people since there were five, including myself, that went on this trip but I just didn't like the way it looked. I might add a fifth somewhere at some point but for now I'm just sticking with four. 

I didn't need the exact date on this spread since it's continued from the previous page but I thought I would put my new 7Gypsies stamps to use and I don't regret it one bit :)

This has to be one of my favorite papers ever but I believe it was exclusive to the kit... sad. I know Studio Calico came out with the same design but different colors that is also awesome and already in my stash! 

And can we talk about these wood veneer pieces? If you haven't noticed... I kind of have an arrow obsession and loving that trend! I believe these were also exclusive to the kit which again... so sad because I would totally purchase more! I can already tell these will be a hoarding item for me if I don't force myself to use them up! 

Thank you once again for stopping by!! 

Have a great day!

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!
