Camping Layout

Hello everyone! I'm back to post a layout using the Happy Camper collection from MME. 

This was an awesome camping trip! We went to Kartchner Caverns just outside of Tucson in Arizona. 

Here's the camping layout of my puppy Leela:

I mainly used a 6x6 paper pad for this layout except for the background paper. I chose 4 different pieces from the 6x6 pad and cut them in half diagonally. Then glued them together in the shape of a diamond. I decided to sew the papers all along the edges with a straight stitch then used a zig zag stitch to stitch the four papers together. 

There are some awesome embellishments that come in the collection. My boyfriend bought it all for me for Valentines day since he knew we had a camping trip coming up. 

I used pop dots in a couple places around the page and did my journaling on a piece of white cardstock that I ran through my printer. 

Here's just a couple more embellishments and I used my Tiny Attacher on the little adorable tab.

Thanks for looking! Have a great day! 

A New Layout Share

My New Years resolution this year was to craft more... and I have been. I just keep forgetting to blog about them lately! I don't know why either. 

Well today I'm sharing a layout I made probably three weeks ago, maybe more. I used the Finders Keepers collection from Amy Tangerine. 

This orange striped paper was perfect to use for a background. Once I picked the background I decided to cut some papers for layering. Then outlined them and glued them down. 

Next I placed the title, which I usually don't do until the end of the layout. I used three different alphas. "Nap Time" is Thickers Memento in green, "in the" is Basic Grey Mono Alpha stickers in black, and Car is Thickers Foam words in white. But the word Car didn't come on the sheet, I wouldn't use the words Cherish or Darling on a layout most likely, so I cut them up to make my word. 

To the left of the layout is where I placed my journaling spot with a few wood veneer pieces. Under the journaling I decided to use the roller phrase stamp that comes with the collection. 

In the ephemera pack was a nice colorful flower piece. I cut it in half and placed it on the layout in two different places. Then used the roller phrase stamp again next to the flowers. 

Thanks for taking a look! Have a great day!

It's Been A While...

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted an actual layout share on here. This layout is about the night time snow that we had in May at my cabin. It was about 2 in the morning and someone yelled "IT'S SNOWING!" so we all got up and ran outside to play in the snow! The collection I used was Amy Tangerine Finders Keepers.

I love the colors and fun details in this collection. Even though you couldn't really tell it was snowing in the pictures, I thought the blue with white and darker blue dots would be perfect to highlight a snow layout. 

I did some layers with fewer embellishments and a larger title so the colorful papers would really stand out. 

I pop dotted the pink arrow and the tip of the XO banner so they would pop off the page. 

Thanks for taking a look! Have a wonderful Thursday!

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! 

Water Color Background

Hi everyone! Happy Monday, I have a layout to share today, which is weird since it's Monday. I feel like I'm finally getting back into my groove of scrapbooking again. So today the layout I'm sharing is using the Finders Keepers collection from Amy Tangerine. 

I love all these wonderful colors in the collection and this floral paper I chose to mat my background on just really made the layout pop. So to start the layout I used the grid paper and started at 12x12. I took Distress Ink in Black Soot and Faded Jeans to do a little water coloring on the background. 

Then cut one inch off two sides of the grid paper and matted it onto the beautiful floral paper. The reason I did the water coloring then matted the paper was to help with the warping of the paper after being wet. The triangles behind the layers were cut out of the Pursuit paper and then slid behind the photo with the stickers and ephemera pieces layered on top. 

Up top I layered a few pieces including one of the gold flair and a cute little enamel heart. Before I laid any pieces down though, I took the rub on sheet and cut up the clusters of diamonds and triangles into threes and placed them randomly.

My favorite part of the layout is the title "Here We Go on an Adventure". I used the Thicker words (which are so cool!) on top of a rub on border and two strips of thin washi tape from the collection. Then placed one of the transparent grey stickers under that came in the Grab Bag. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week! 

Leela's First Halloween Toy Layout

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a good week! Recently I got a new Jack Russell Terrier puppy. Her name is Leela and she is perfect! Anyways, I got her a new spider toy and she loved it. She carries it everywhere with her, and I love it when she lays on the Halloween rug in the kitchen. So I snapped a picture of her, and decided to use the new Crate Paper After Dark collection to scrapbook the first layout of little Leela.

I love when collections come with a diagonal striped paper because they make great 12x12 mats for your layout. I decided to outline everything on the layout with a black 08 pen to stand out a little more.

After the background paper was matted onto the striped paper, I cut some papers down to make a few layers. I absolutely love the backside of the Trick or Treat paper! Then I went in with a few ephemera pieces and stickers, plus an orange paper clip, at the top right side of the layout. 

In the bottom left corner is a glitter foam spider web with a wood veneer spider on top. For the title, I used the Midnight Thickers and the Halloween Script die from Tim Holtz with a piece of orange glitter paper from Michaels. 

Underneath the photo are three banner pieces that are outlined with a black 05 pen. Even the black banners are outlined. 

I'm super excited for Halloween this year! We have my step kids this year. So we will be taking them Trick or Treating, then my friend is throwing a little get together afterwards. So I should have lots of pictures to play with!
