..: joy with you ::..

Hello! I have been absent from this blog -- but I'm back to share with you more often! Today I am here to share a layout and process video that I made for the Scrap Lift Sunday (SLS) challenge of in the Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} facebook group. There are so many challenges each month and they are so worth checking out!  For this layout I used Pretty Little Studio's Glitter & Ice collection. It is designed by Kim Watson and available in the Paper Issues Store.  Use the code OrangeGearle for 20% off your entire order. Here is my scrap lift :



And here is Kat Benjamin's original :


I stuck pretty close to the original design, but still remained true to my style. Here are a few close ups:






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



Thank you so much for stopping by and I will see you again soon! XO o.g.

..:: zoo day shenanigans ::..

Hi! I am up on The Cut Shoppe Blog today with my last post as a Design Team member!


I used the Hul-la-ba-zoo cut file for the title as well as the flag at the top that says “It’s a jungle out there”. Here is a look at the complete cut file:


I added a border to the original file to create a black outline for my title as well as the flag.



 Here are a couple more close ups. 



I used mostly the Field Day collection from Shimelle for this layout. I fussy cut some flowers to add as embellishments and I also used a punch for my butterflies.



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

..:: cheap trick ::..

Hello!  I am up on the A Flair for Buttons blog with a layout using some beautiful black and white flair from three different flair sets!  I used Amy Tangerine's Slice of Life collection that I purchased at Paper Issues (use the code OrangeGearle for 20% off you purchase). Here is my layout :


I started this layout by typing up my journaling in the Silhouette software. Then I had my Cameo print the journaling on white card stock using a sketch pen. I knew I wanted to tell a longer story for this one, so I incorporated it into the design of the page.


This story is about an experience at a Cheap Trick concert, so the notes in the Rock On 3 Flair were perfect for this layout. I also loved the idea of the black and white, so I grabbed a couple of other black and white pieces, too.

 

I layered some papers from the 6x6 paper pad behind my photo and popped the photos up with craft foam. I put the other two pieces of flair on either side to create a visual triangle on the page.


This flair came from the Bright Triangle Flair set.


This piece came from the Brave Soul Flair set. I love this piece so much!!

Finally I added a few colorful pieces of patterned paper in strips at the bottom, a boarder at the top with a piece of 12x12 paper from the collection, a few bits of thread, some stitching and splatters to finish it off. I just love layouts with black and white and pops of color!


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