A Great Day to get Two Layouts Done

Hi ladies! Today was the perfect day to work on some layouts! I got my Scraptastic September kit yesterday and started using it right away! I was up until almost three in the morning working on these two layouts! I would occasionally stop to go on Pinterest, Facebook and at one point I watched an episode of Bones on Netflix. 

As soon as I saw that the Studio Calico sequin stars came in the kit I knew I wanted to do something fun with them! I wandered if my sewing machine would sew through them but I didn't want to have to glue them down and get my needle all sticky. 

But I had to glue them down so I used my Zig 2 way glue and just put a tiny dot, waited for it to dry and then sewed right through. It worked perfectly. My needle didn't get sticky and you can't even tell that I glued them down!

Here's a close up of my favorite part of the layout. You can see the awesome Glitter washi tape from Glitz! I want to washi everything with it!

Here's my second layout I made.

At my friends birthday party another friend brought a bottle of coke with her. She didn't even realize it said "Share a coke with friends! We thought it was too cute and had to take a picture!

I used October Afternoon Daily Flash alphas. The white ones came in the kit, the red are from my stash. I outlined them so they would stand out better and they look really nice that way! 

The kits came with some awesome little bits this month, so I layered some here and there and used a scalloped punch on the super cute heart paper! 

Thank you for looking!! I hope you have a great weekend!

Birthday Layouts

Hello! I hope everyone had a GREAT long Labor Day weekend! Today I'm sharing two layouts I made from my friends birthday party over the weekend. 

In May I went to the Phoenix, AZ CKC scrapbook convention. A booth had scrapbooking kits bagged up for really cheap. So I bought the Cakewalk and Midway collections from October Afternoon both for less than 20 dollars! I used both collections to create these layouts. I love all the different pieces you get in the collections.

The colors were perfect for the pictures are it helped that they were birthday and fair themed. I layered some of the pretty papers together and added a journaling card and a couple stickers. 

The kit also comes with little flags that you make yourself. I put one together and added a little banner on top of it to glue it down. 

This layout was done also using both collections.

The arrow paper in the Midway collection is probably my favorite paper. I ended up cutting out a whole bunch of the arrows ahead of time because I knew I was going to use them as layering paper and as individual arrows.

I printed the biggest picture at 3 1/2 inches and the smaller pictures are all 2 inches.

I sewed down each arrow and then outlined it so it would stand out a little more on the background paper. 

I also outlined the title to match the arrows. Then I wanted to do some stamping on my layout so I decided to use the Daylight stamp set from Scraptastic. The stamps I chose to use were the cursive 'Shine On', the outline of a star and the bold star. Both layouts took me about an hour each to make.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a GREAT week!
