Library

Hey there! Happy September 1st!
Today is the reveal for the September challenge at Creative Embellishments. I used a Paige Evans cut file and cut it out using my Cameo on white cardstock. I backed the cut file using Pink Paislee Horizons papers. I used the April and May Hip Kit Club kits for this layout of Sierra:

I was inspired by the books in the mood board and decided to use books from the Book Set 1 and Books. I used Lindy's mists to color them. I added watercolor to my background and then stamped using brown ink and the Circles Stamp. 

I love how these books came out! I added that cute bow from the kit and fussy cut the "cool" and "get Lost" from one of the papers:

I tucked in some chipboard and diecuts around the photo:

Head on over to the Creative Embellishment blog and check out the mood board and see what the rest of the creative design team came up with!

Let's Get Away

Hey there friends!
I have a layout to share today using case file #292 at CSI.
I used Echo Park On Our Way and a cut file from Paige Evans for this layout of Austin, Greg and I in O"Hare airport waiting to board our flight to Germany:

This has been a dream vacation of mine since I was in high school. Hence the handwritten "Dream vacation". Since Sierra was studying abroad there last semester, this was a perfect opportunity for us to go!

I cut the file on white cardstock using my Cameo. I used mists and Gelatos to add some color and then added a little white Gesso to get a few more tones:

I wrote our itinerary on the journaling spot. I added a camera, passport and star diecuts:

I added a few more diecuts here. I love that plane with the words "jet setter" on it:

Here is the case file:

I was inspired by the colors and travel theme. 

Hope you will play along with us!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Love This Lake Life

Hey there friends!
I am back today to share a layout with you using the Best Glue Ever along with the No Clog Writing Cap from ScraPerfect.

I used my Cameo to cut a Page Evans cut file from the Silhouette store using white cardstock. Instead of backing the cut file with patterned papers, I decided to color the negative letters with watercolors and pop them up with foam inside the cut file using the Best Glue Ever. I tucked in a few embellies in and on the cut file:

I placed one photo to the right of the cut file and added layers of patterned paper from PhotoPlay Campfire/ Lakeside under it. I fussy cut a bird, the sign and a few canoes. I used the Best Glue Ever to adhere them. I added a photo to the "O" of the cut file:

I added machine stitched waves and watercolor to my background:

I love using the Best Glue Ever on the foam. I have tried other liquid glues and and they just don't hold after a period of time:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Autumn Adventure

Hey friends!
I am back today to share a fun layout with you that I have up on the Creative Embellishment Blog today.
Greg and I love to 4 wheel, but don't go as often as we used to now that the kids are grown. This photo of us was taken last fall on our afternoon ride with a few friends:
I added watercolor to my white cardstock background to mimic the sky. I added torn brown cardstock to the bottom of the layout.
I used a cut file from the Silhouette store and cut it on white cardstock. I stitched it to the background and then decided to add watercolor to the trees as well.

 

I used Doodlebug Flea Market, ScraPerfect's Best Glue Ever along with CE products for this fun page.
I used 2 of the deer from the Reindeer Set and added Distress Inks to them. I tucked one behind my photo and put the other one in the lower right corner. I added some stickers and fussy cut leaves:



 I colored the wood veneer Fall Leaves with Gelatos and tucked some in around my photo and have 2 falling on my page:

 
I also tucked in a cool leaf from the Autumn Leaves Set. I used a green Gelato to color it. Here I also added a few wood veneer Fall Leaves along with some more fussy cut leaves:

 

For my title I used the word "autumn" from the Autumn Leaves Set and the word "Adventure" from the Adventure Word Set. I used 4 different Gelatos to color them:

 

This was such a fun layout to create and I love how it came out! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
