Every Picture Records A Little Story

Helllo there!

I have a simple layout to share using a die cut as my title and main embellment!

When I got the email for the May Scraptastic Club kits I already fell in love with this die cut!!

Take a look!

Love love love!!

Since I am still obsessed with using a white background for my page, I needed to add something to make my title pop. I took the Heidi Swapp Color Shine in the color Bronzer and sprayed twice fairly close to the page. I love how the gold shine stayed in the center and the brown mist came out evenly!

I added a wood veneer heart from an older kit under the title, put some patterned paper behind my photo, a tag and layered on some die cuts from the kits. Above my photo I added a little heart die cut I had in my stash!

Hope this inspires you to use a die cut for a title!!

Happy Scrapping!

Hello Beautiful

Hi!

Sharing another layout I made using the May Scraptastic Club kit, The Story I Heard.

I splattered on some Heidi Swapp Color Shine and layered a pretty paper behind my photo. I added some die cuts and little doilies I've had laying around. I took a white polaroid die cut and stuck that next to my photo for a little white on white detail, put a mint colored frame I made in the middle of that and added a little heart onto some pop dots for added dimension. Then I cut a couple of images from a patterned paper!

I added some subtle stamping with the Daylight stamp set (adorable little phrases!!) and stuck the date underneath!

I need to make more of these frames! I love the way it turned out :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Some cute cards!

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a couple of cards I made using the May Scraptastic Club kit, The Story I Heard. 

So I have to admit I'm not the best at card making for some reason... before I started doing 12x12 pages that's all I ever did, but I think I've lost touch over the years. 

This kit and add-on came with TONS of die cuts that are perfect for cards so I gave it a go!

Here is what I came up with!

I took some tags from my stash and started adding some die cuts from there. I love all the little sayings from these packs! I just added some bakers twine to the top of the tags and some resin flowers I made to add a little more dimension. 

Overall I am pretty darn happy with the way they turned out! 

I should make it a goal to create at least one card from each kit...maybe ;)

What is your niche? Are you a card maker or do you stick with layouts?

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Today

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a layout I made using yellow and navy! 

This was a fun one to make... I've never used navy as a main color and I just love the way it looks paired with yellow!

Love love love the color combo! I also got to use my new navy blue Heidi Swapp mist and use a flair and some stickers I've had for a while now!

Have you made anything using navy blue lately? Leave me a link in the comments, I would love to see!

Thanks for stopping by!

Around Here...

Hi everyone!

Since I've been home bound and recovering from getting my tonsils out I went ahead and took the time to take a few photos around the house. Pretty happy with what I can find!

This first one is my favorite!

Thanks for stopping by!

you&me

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to share my layout I posted over on Scraptastic Club. Madeline and I have a stitching challenge for you, so when you're done here don't forget to head on over to the post to check out her layout and to upload your project for a chance to win!!
(I used the Let Me Go kits with bits from previous kits as well)

I feel like I haven't been stitching on my pages like I used to, so I was excited to get to it again!

Recently my friend Chelsea and I headed up to Sedona for a little hiking. I sort of stole the maps from her knowing I would love to add bits and pieces to the layouts from our trip. I went ahead and cut a piece if the map, stitched it down and got three piece of patterned paper to stitch down as well. I love the way the stitching make my page look complete!

I'll admit, I've been hoarding this you&me wood veneer piece from an older kit to use with the perfect photo... and I'm glad I found a home for it! Also, this month Scraptastic has introduced cork embellishments to the kits and oooh my!... isn't that globe adorable!? I also used both the Let Me Go and the Worth Wondering stamp set on this page... Love adding the little geotags in with my mist splatters!

I took a rub on from my stash to add to the whole travel/adventure theme and I ruffed up the edges of the papers where I stitched them down.

I added a die cut piece and a tab from the kit. I also left the tails of my stitching for an added messy look. Sometimes I like a clean look and cut them but I was feeling it for this page ;)

So there you have it! I challenge you to sew on your page, it can be with a machine or by hand. And don't forget to upload your project to the bottom of this blog post for a chance to win! 

Thanks for stopping by!
