To The Beach / Fancy Pants Designs



Hello everyone!  Today I am sharing my first project featuring the beautiful Vitamin Sea collection from Fancy Pants. With all the bright, happy colors and gorgeous paper in this collection.....it had me thinking of the fabulous vacation we took last Summer.

I love creating different layers on my layout, and the patterned paper in this collection was absolutely perfect for this. Patterned papers was cut at 6x6 inches and the edges distressed a bit. Next, start layering them one over each other until you're happy with the end result. 

          At this point I added my photo and a few embellishments from the Vitamin Sea Ephemera.....aren't they just adorable! 

   It's not too late to document those vacation photos, so why not pick up the beautiful Vitamin Sea collection today and have FUN crafting!

Sparkle and Shine / My Creative Scrapbook - April Tutorial




Hello everyone!  Today I have a fun layout to share, featuring the beautiful April main kit

Here's a look at the finished page....

Sparkle and Shine


For this layout I wanted to combine, as many pattern papers as I can, without making it look too busy.  With the soft, beautiful colors and patterns found in the Gingham Gardens collection, it made it quite easy to achieve the look and design I wanted.          



I started by added some randomly cut strips of pattern papers, onto some white cardstock. The strips were keep mainly to the right side and across the bottom of the page.  



My photo was adhere to the layout with foam tape for added dimension. Once in place, I created my title 'Sparkle and Shine' using a couple of chipboard words from Creative Embellishments, combined with letter stickers from American Crafts.       




I created a small cluster of layered embellishments over in the right corner.   




To finish my layout, I added another cluster to the left side of my photo, using some of the  floral die cuts, a chipboard sticker and a tag with a piece of string which came from my stash.  




I hope you felt inspired today to go create something of your own!

My Creative Scrapbook / April Main Kit Projects





Here's this months projects, using the April Main Kit!

A quick summary of the products found in this month's main kit....patterned paper from My Mind's Eye 'Gingham Gardens' collection, also from Photoplay 'We are Family' collection...the (traditions) pattern paper.  Also included in the main kit, the Gingham Gardens mixed bag ephemera, chipboard embellishments, and the double sided journal cards. American Crafts glitter letter stickers and a pack of Creative Embellishments laser cut chipboard word set.  

Here are my projects using the April main kit and a few close-ups...

Happiness....


I created a framed background by layering together the Savannah paper from My Mind's Eye and the Traditions paper from Photoplay, and also added some machine stitching around the perimeter.


Next, I selected the journal cards I wanted to use, and begin layering them one over the other, until I was happy with the overall design.


I finished by adding in some fussy cut floral, along with a couple of die cut bees. 



Beauty...


For this layout the journal cards was once again used to create multiple layers. To the right side and along of the bottom of the photo, embellishments from the Gingham Gardens was added. I love how easy this all came together with the help of the April main kit.

     





Sweet....


March cut files...





This month's beautiful cut files were the inspiration for this layout. Both of the cut files used, were cut from white cardstock.  First I layered papers Charlotte and Savannah together to use as my background. On the Savannah pattern paper, a spiral punch was used to create the look of a torn, distress notebook page. The chicken wire cut file was placed behind my photo and embellish with a few cut die pieces. To the left side, the vine cut file was added vertically and embellish with some of the beautiful die cuts found in the mixed bag.       





 I hope you felt inspired today to go create something of your own!
