Recent Layouts

Hello Scrappers and Friends! This weekend I completed a few layouts, hope you like them.

Here's a simple one of my brother and I. I had to get a picture of us for my mom's gift a year ago so I forced him to get a picture with me. He complains when I take lots of pictures, mainly because I tend catch him at his worst moments, but that's what makes it fun. I used one of Dollar Tree's washi tapes to do the top floral pattern. Then I used a few sequins to add some sparkle. The circle around us and the little bracket is chipboard that I inked with Staz On black ink. The swirls are some random clear stamps that I got and I used the Staz On black ink then used clear embossing powder to just add some texture.The flowers are small fabric ones with some jeweled brads in the middle.

The next layout is of my husband. Love him dearly, but he won't be picking out my shoes anytime soon. He was so sweet trying to help me pick out some shoes for my friends wedding, but he doesn't know my style obviously. This layout was pretty fun and colorful. I used Stickles to outline my journaling and his picture. I then used Washi tape to do the patterns at the bottom of the page. The chipboard pieces are from 3 Birds Studio, love their stuff! The text I put on this page is my favorite part.

This layout I did of my mom's lasagna, yes her lasagna is so good it had to have it's own layout! Again I used some Dollar Tree washi tape for the designs above and below the picture. The patterned paper I love and it has texture.

 This page I did of our friend's wedding. The background is a little busy so it's hard to see the wording so lesson learned. The little street light and circle design I cut from my Cricut. On the corner of the one picture I put a little jeweled flower. Then I used washi tape and lined the corner with it. I placed a flower with a brad on the corner of that and added some stickles to the brad to make it shine and sparkle. I have these little metal stickers and I added one that says "love". My favorite part of this page is the little street light, its so adorable!

This layout was a bit of a challenge because I had to find pictures that would fit into the squares. I cut the collage on my Cricut and then fit the pictures into the spaces. I also cut some pieces of paper and embossed them with my Cuttlebug. I took a strip of ribbon and ran it through my sticker maker and then placed it on the layout and outlined the strip with stickles. The chipboard pieces are some random ones I had and I placed a paper flower with a button in the middle. Then the whole collage I glued to another sheet for some background. Love the way this looks. I love how I can size anything to whatever size I want on my Cricut Explore!

 Last but not least here is a simple layout I did of my husband and I after the wedding. I cut the white piece out on my Cricut. I took some pretty glitter strips of paper and placed those on the page and then I cut out "My Love" on my Cricut.

Overall I had a very productive and great weekend! Found some good deals, organized my space and did some layouts. Hope you all had a splendid crafty time! Thanks for looking.
