Forever and Always layout

This layout used the Forever & Always Cut Above layout kit.  This allows you to do a quick and easy 2 page layout.  This again is an older kit, but I wanted to show how these layouts look done.  I plan to use this layout for my son and daughter in-law's wedding.

I have added double photo mats in Poppy and Sage cardstock.  Then I also changed it by making 2 small journal spots in Poppy and White.  

Simple/fast fun layout.  I did not use all the water color flowers or all 4 x 6 pocket cards.  I plan to use those and cardstock to make another layout.  These kits are made so you can make one 2 page layout and then it comes with 4 memory protectors.  Two for the layout and then 2 with spots for 4 x 6 photos and the memory cards.  So if you used it that way you would have three 2 page layouts.

Christmas tags for our 2018 tag party

We get together in November and make tags for Christmas.   I had several people help me make the tags this year.  It was a real group effort.  All the ladies enjoyed making the tags we came up with.  They are from dies and punches and SVG files and stamps.

Little girl or baby girl layout for a baby book.  I have made this layout before, but I have changed the color of the animals on this one.

This layout is made from old Close to My Heart paper.  It has fun bright pink and green that is just great for a little girl or baby page layout.
The base is made from 2 Daisy White card stock pages and the green base mats are from Willow card stock. 
I used an EK Success punch to make the borders.
There is room for a title and journal spots on the top of both pages.

The animals are made with Quickutz dies.  These were all exclusive store based dies and I just love them.  I made the Hippo and Tiger out of Willow card stock to match the accents on this page.

Willow border -  3/4 x 12 inches , edged with EK Success border punch

3/4 x 12 inches pink polka dot over top of Willow border.

Boy blue and brown layout

Baby or young boy layout.  Great boy colors.

I have made this layout before for another baby book.  This is also old CTMH paper from 2 different paper series.  I had some left and this looks so great with the Chocolate card stock.

I used 6 different Quickutz dies to make the accents on the little 2 inch blocks.  I used coordinating card stock for all the accents.  I also used the baby Boo bear from Go Kreate for the baby bear on this layout.  The journal spot was made with a Spellbinder die.

The photo mats are the large chocolate card stock.  This allows you greater freedom for your pictures.

Snips and snails - boy layout

Baby boy layout.  What little boy would not want to have his pictures on this adorable page.

I have made this layout before for a previous baby book.  I used Heavenly Blue and Chocolate card stock that coordinate with the old CTMH paper.

The die is xxx and is so cute it is the 'Snips and snails and puppy dog tails'... saying.  I have a Quickutz snail next to this saying.  I have accented the layout with Quicktuz  and Cottage Cutz dogs. 
An EK Success punch was used for the circle borders and a Spellbinder dies was used for the 3 journal spots.

Princess layout

Princess layout with bling!!!  Such a fun layout for a little girl.  Simple yet elegant.

I love this black/grey/white/purple base pages. I found them in a local Scrapbook store.

The photo mats are double matted with black and grape card stock that perfectly matches the base pages.
I created the circle borders from an EK Success punch and accented them with the grape card stock.  There are 3 princess bling crowns to accent the layout.
The large Tiara was made from a Quickutz Tiara die.  I did not have any silver glitter paper, so I took silver glitter Washi tape and adhered it out on white card stock.  I then cut the tiara out and it looks great.   I accented the Tiara with light purple dots.

The Princess title was cut with the Silhouette Cameo and I made a shadow for it.  This is again in the black and grape card stock.

This is the first layout from the Documented Close to My Heart paper pack.  These layouts are based on the Workshop Your Way layouts with some minor changes.

I used the Documented titles and Documented Dots to access this page.

Grateful Heart layout 4

This is the 4th layout from the Greatful Heart paper packet.  I add photo mats in Mink card stock.

This layout is very simple and not flashy at all.  I have left space for a title and there is space to make a small journal spot as well.  It needs embellishments and I will add those once I know what pictures I place on this layout.
