..:: summer ::..

Hi friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog today with this summer layout! I am also participating in Audrey Yeager's Summer Scrappin 2019 YouTube fun -- and I'm her guest on day 6 of her 21 days of summer scrap videos.   Here is a look at my layout:



I used three pieces of flair in a visual triangle. The flair is from three different sets, and I think they worked quite well with the Maggie Holmes Sunny Days collection. Here are a few close ups.

The piece above is from the Hashtag Summer Flair set. The pink one below is from the Primary Arrows 1 Flairset.



The last piece is my favorite! It is from the Watercolor Patterns Flairset. I am in love with the watercolor look!



I had a little problem with my title -- but I found a way to fix it. Check out my process video to see what happened!

Here is a video of how this one came together.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you again soon! XO o.g.

Hi Friends! I'm up on The Cut Shoppe blog today with a layout using the "delightful" cut file. I used it as part of my title. Here is a look:

And here is a closer look at the file:

I cut the file first with white card stock. Then I used the Silhouette software to take out all the inside pieces, and recut it with the rainbow paper. This made backing the file super quick!

I used a lot of the Crate Paper All Heart collection for this layout. I added some ephemera and puffy stickers around the page. Here are a few close ups:

I loved using this file as a big title!  It made putting the rest of the layout together so easy! Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!  See you again soon! Xo o.g.

..:: lake life ::..

Hi Friends! I am up on The Cut Shoppe Blog today with a TN layout using the Campfire Stories cut file. Here is a look at my project:

Here is a look at the full cut file:

I used just the circle "lake life" part of this file and backed it with a pink patterned paper from Maggie Holmes Sunny Days collection. I also added a green heart sticker from the cardstock sticker sheet in the same collection.

I used papers mostly from the 6x8 paper pad because I like the smaller patterns for the TN size. 

I typed my journaling directly on the white card stock background using my type writer. I added a few more stickers to complete the layout.  Here are a few more close ups. 

I made a video of my process if that is something that suits your fancy!  

Thank you so much for stopping by -- see you again soon! XO o.g.

Hi Friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog and my You Tube channel with this layout using flair from my favorite shop and the May 2019 Clique Kit Great Expectations. This flair is from the Brave Soul Flair set. Here is a look at my mini book.

I used a Paige Evans cut file called 1 Piece of Paper Mini Album. I added gesso and then color using mostly Shimmerz sprays. Finally, I added papers and embellishments mostly from Crate Paper's All Heart collection -- that is in the Great Expectations kit.  Here are a few more close ups.

I used stickers and die cuts from the kit (All Heart collection) as well. This was so fun to put together.

I made a few tags from the papers using my Big Shot. Some of the tags are peeking out of the book. I love that!

I have a full process video and a quick flip through (which includes a close ups of each page) on my You Tube channel if that's something that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by -- see you again soon!

Hi friends! Today I'm up on The Cut Shoppe blog with a layout I made using the Flower Garden cut file. Here is a look at the layout:

I cut the file with with card stock and then I  backed it with papers from Cocoa Vanilla Studios Happiness collection.

I added  couple pieces of flair from {a flair for buttons}, and some fussy cut butterflies. I also fussy cut a bunch of itsy bitsy flowers from the flower paper. The flair I used is from the Watercolor Patterns Flair Set.

For the title I used these acrylic pieces from Elle's Studio that match this collection perfectly!

I made a video of my process, if that's something that suits your fancy!

See you again soon!  XO o.g.

..:: colorful you ::..

Hi!  I'm back with another layout and a challenge for you! I am using the Clique Kits iNSD limited edition kit full of Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Happiness collection. Here is my layout:

I fussy cut those butterflies from a sheet of 12x12 paper in the kit. I love how it turned out!  Do you like the rainbow trend? Well, that's my challenge for you! Make a rainbow in some way on your layout and share it with us in The Clique FB group! Here are a few close ups.

I stitched through each of the butterflies with similar colored thread. I also used those threads behind the photo, just for fun pops of color.

This was supper fun to make!  I have a video of my process, if that's something that suits your fancy!

Thank you so much for stopping by!  See you again soon!  XO o.g.
