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.

Girl layout with bears


Fun baby layout for a little girl.


This layout uses some old Close to My Heart paper.

The bears are Boo bear from Go Kreate dies.  I just love these dies.  The Boo bear with all the accessories are a series of really fun dies that are made in the US but for purchase in the UK.  There are really old dies so I do not know if they are available any longer.

The star accents was stamped from CTMH stamp set D1333
The baby saying is from Heather Stamping Haven
I used a Sixxix die to stamp the borders in Honey and Gypsy card sock.

There is space for 2 large pictures and a bunch of small pictures and a journal spot.  The small pictures are double matted and the large ones are triple matted.

Girl layout with animals pink and green


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.

Top and bottom borders on both pages  2 x 12 inches
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.
Mats - 4 x 6 inches in Willow, 3 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches in black and 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches pink polka dot.
Journal spot is a bit smaller and I forgot to measure that one.

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.
