Taking time to sleep & play

This layout is made from some older papers I had from Basic Grey Kissing Booth collection.  I love the colors and paper in this collection.  Especially the little birds on the Oh Darling paper.  I wanted to cut some out to use on the layout but I didn't want to cut each one by hand. So, I bought the Pix Scan matt for my Silhouette Cameo and cut them out!

I used my sewing machine on the strips on the side.  I used some green silk ribbon in my bobbin, some pink variegated thread with a flowered decorative stitch, and then some variegated green thread for some straight stitching.  Hopefully you will be able to see it in the close-ups.

The picture is mounted on a cut file from iheartstudio, the birds were added.   I used some pink gelatos to color the right side. Then, some rubber stamping, journaling and ink splotches to complete everything.

Stars

Here is another layout based on the Craftsy class by Paige Evans for Patterned Paper.  I wove the paper and then die cut the stars.  I then placed them on top of an embossed background of stars using a stencil.

Then I added a picture and embellishment cluster around each photo.

Gram and I

For this layout I was inspired by this one by Paige Evans. I loved the flower die by Maggie Holmes and I knew I had to have it!  I used 6X6 patterned papers by American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neopolitan collection (an old but goodie) for the die cut flowers.  I mounted them on some beautiful paper by Studio Calico that is black with gold flecks in it.  In the center of each flower is an enamel dot.  Around the photo I used some embellishments from Maggie Holmes Confetti collection.

Hello April

This layout is from a class on Craftsy taught by Paige Evans called Patterned Paper Play.  I used 2 heart sizes for this layout.  The smaller heart was a punch and the larger heart is a die from Sizzix loves story.

In this close up you can see that some embellishments were added that match the area of the hearts.  Some journaling was also added below the photo.

Thanks for joining me

No nonsense

Hello...I have a scrapbook page that is colorful and easy to make.  I used a stencil called Flying Bird Doily by Balzer Designs for the background. I used Tim Holtz Distress inks to ink the stencil in picked raspberry, spiced marmalade, evergreen bough and mustard seed.

Here I added a cut file from iHeartStudio.

An embellishment cluster on the right side complete the layout. Bottle cap Basic Grey True Love, Love circle Kaiser Craft Tea Party, Fox tag Teresa Collins Nine & Co, Bird Kaiser Craft XO, Sweet tag & green bow American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neopolitan

This matters to me

This layout was made for a class at Studio Calico called Color Theory.  This is a monochromatic layout using black, white and gray.  The layout is entitled this matters because it is a stamp I used on the layout underneath the flower cutout.  Its about my love of traveling and adventure and how much it matters to me.

Here you can see the stamping of "this matters" and the patterned paper from Authentique, as well as the cutouts from the class taught by Wilna Furstenberg.
