..:: maybe it's maybelline ::..

Hi friends! I am up on The Cut Shoppe blog today with this layout using the Floral Frames cut file designed by Ashley Horton. I chose papers and embellishments from Pink Paislee's Whimsical collection this is what I ended up with:


Here's a look at the cut file:


 So, once I cut the file and started playing with the papers and my photo, I decided that I didn't want the flowers in a frame, but I loved the flowers -- so I fussy cut them! Once I did that, it came together pretty quickly! Here are a few close ups:





I showed my One True Love the photo of our daughter and said, "Title please," and he immediately responded, "Maybe It's Maybelline", which was perfection!


I dug out an earlier Paige Evans collection (Oh My Heart) for the lipstick that I fussy cut from a 12x12 sheet of patterned paper.  That was the perfect touch!

I loved working with this cut file and I cannot wait to cut it again and use it as a frame!  I made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!


Thanks so much for stopping by, see you again soon!  XO o.g.

..:: december daily :: days 5 & 6 ::..

Hi friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog today with a layout and process video for you. This might seem strange, but stick with me! I am using sloth flair in my December Daily album!  Here is a look at Days 5 and 6 in my album.


Day 6 is all about my sloth wrapping paper!  I have loved sloths for years, but apparently they are really popular right now -- and they are everywhere!  So, I was super excited to fine sloth Christmas wrapping paper for this year!  So, I thought I might as well use that sloth flair, right? Especially since Day 5 is about being so tired I went to bed with my daughter at 8:30. That's also sloth-ish, right? So, I added another sloth flair for that page! here is a closer look at Day 5.

I added my typed journaling below my photo and did some stitching around the photo. On Day 6 I used a big photo and kept it pretty simple with flair , a number, and a couple of enamel dots.

For my journaling on Day 6 I made a little pocket (between pages 6-7) to add my journaling on a tag that I made using my manual die cutting machine.

Here are a couple of close ups of the awesome flair from the Sloth Love Flair Set.

This two-day spread came together quickly and I love the 'non-Christmas" flair on this page! I made a video of my process, if that suits your fancy!



You can find process videos of my title page, and days 1-4 right here. Thank you so much for stopping by! I will see you again soon! XO o.g.
