Two Puppy Layouts

Happy Wednesday! I have two layouts to share today, both of my puppy Leela. I used two different collections. For the top layout I used Echo Park Bark, and for the bottom layout I used Bella Blvd. Rover.

The first layout:

To start this layout I picked out my background paper then went over to my Silhouette and went through the fonts. I chose two and typed out my title using both fonts. I left enough room on the center of the layout to place the photo.

Once the Silhouette finished cutting I picked two papers to back the title with. That plaid paper is my absolute favorite! The little paw print is a stamp from the Bark stamp set and I used brown Memento ink. 

For some reason, my Silhouette decided it was going to cut the W and R in water weird. I don't exactly know what happened there. But it didn't look too bad so I decided to keep it. 

For the center of the layout I took my photo and placed it a little crooked and added this adorable little dog sticker. Then pop dotted the little banner and placed it right on top. Then added some Heidi Swapp mist in Tea. 

The second layout:

This layout is from the same day as the layout above. The journaling talks about how it was Leela's first irrigation and how much she loved it! 

I started this layout by cutting an inch off the sides of the cloud paper and adhering it to a piece of white cardstock. Then I cut a strip of the green chevron paper for my photos to go on top of. The layout needed more color so I took my scallop border punch and used it on the colorful striped paper and tucked them under both sides of the background paper. 

I used my type writer for the journaling and cut each line out making some strips longer than others. Then used enamel dots to make two little paw prints. Under the journaling I placed a little heart sticker with a bone clip attached to the top. 

The title was done using the ever so amazing Headliners from Queen and Co. They just add the nicest touch to a layout! 

Thanks for stopping by to take a look! Have a great day! 

Coffee Love

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I have a layout to share that I made for the Hip Kit Club Design Team tryouts. 

This layout is all about the amazing organic coffee my boyfriend and I stumbled upon while stuck it a hail storm up in Flagstaff. I used the Shimelle True Stories collection because there are so many cute coffee elements, and of course I tried to use them all (but only used three).

I started by matting a plain piece of white cardstock onto the Cinnamon Roll paper. Then took two Heidi Swapp Mists in Butter and Coral and sprayed close up where my photo and layers were going to go. In my layers I used a 6x6 card, a photo overlay that I cut in half, a scalloped border punch, and a manufacturers strip with little coffee cups on it. Then went in with a few embellishments from the collection. 

I also sprayed the two mists in the bottom right corner to bring in the extra colors from the main cluster. The coffee cup here was fussy cut from the Mocha paper and placed right against the edge of my paper. Then I used the left over piece of the manufacturers strip and a wood brad. 

For the title I used the tile alphas that came in the Phrase and Alphabet pack. The giant LOVE letters were cut from the Salted Caramel paper, and slightly layered on top of each other. Then underneath, I took a sticker from the same sheet and cut little fishtails on the ends and used a punch to cut a few more chevrons to place next to it. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a look! Have a great day! 

Photoshoot Layout

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted any new layouts. I've been in kind of a scrapbooking rut, until my friends and I went up North to my cabin in Williams, Arizona for a girls weekend. We decided to do a photoshoot in the woods. Here's the layout I came up with using an old Scraptastic Kit Club kit and some Gossamer Blue items. 

I went with the light grey woodgrain paper for my background. Then cut two strips one of patterned paper and the other is gold foiled vellum. 

Then placed my photo and some embellishments including wood veneer, a flair badge, and two tabs (one stamped and ones a sticker).

I placed the smaller photo in the top right corner with a rub on underneath and another piece of vellum. Then added a few embellishments around the photo. 

The title is done using a stamped label that says Fabulous, some DIY Thickers that I misted with two different Heidi Swapp mists, and some Studio Calico wood veneer letters. Then fished it off with some splatters and enamel stars. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

I Am Lucky Layout

Hey everyone! I have a layout to share using the Simple Stories I Am collection.

One day a while back, I was early for work so I sat in my car with the windows down listening to music. Then I looked over and saw that a little lady bug had landed on my side panel by my window. It just sat there with me until I had to go into work. It was pretty cool. 

I brought in some awesome foiled vellum that I purchased at Michaels and used that for my bottom layer. The gold glitter frame is a Heidi Swapp frame from Michaels then the black and white striped frame is from the I Am collection. 

I used a border punch on the vellum and stapled it in the top right corner. That left a nice place for my title. Then finished the layout off with some splatters and little gold chipboard dots.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! 

Don't Forget to Smile layout

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! Today I have a layout to share using pictures from New Years. I finally have all the bits of the Serendipity collection from American Crafts that I've wanted since it came out! 

This layout is very girly. I just love the colors and patterns of the papers. I cut strips to lay behind my photos. The tilted design makes the layout stand out more. 

The wood veneer pieces on this layout are all from Michaels. They now make their own and sell them individually. With this wood piece, I placed an ephemera piece on top then a beautiful dark blue bow with a puffy flower sticker on top. 

The title Don't Forget to Smile was chosen as my title because we have such big cheesy smiles in the pictures. I used the Serendipity Thickers and a wood veneer. 

Last weekend I went to Joanns to see all the new spring stuff, and ended up finding all the new Heidi Swapp color shine mists! The new colors are absolutely beautiful! I bought all six at 40% off! I used the new Raspberry color for some splatters.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend! 

California

In 2010 my friends and I went to Santa Clarita California for a huge Sizzix Warehouse sale. After we left the sale, we had a friend that was living in L.A. and she came and got us and took us all around.

I used the Scraptastic The Girl kit, add on, the High Stung stamp set and the September The girl stamps for this layout. 

The High Stung alphabet stamp set is so awesome. I saw one of the design team members for Scraptastic stamp her title down then fussy cut it out. So I decided to give it a try and LOVE it! I will most likely be using this stamp set a lot.

I also used the circle arrow stamp around the layout and inside the circles. Then added Studio Calico sequin stars in white for some fun. A 1inch circle punch fits the circles on the background paper perfectly. So I punched out some circles and placed them randomly.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great rest of your week!
