Wonderful Winter

Good Morning Scrappy Fam,

Today, I'm sharing a quick layout I created with the wonderful Snow and Cocoa collection from Crate Paper. This photo has been waiting to be scrapbooked all winter, spring and now summer. I've had it printed and ready to go on my desk for ages and I'm just now getting the chance to scrap it. 😛

I started with some mixed media on this black and white print background sheet. I took some Dylusions Ink Spray in London Blue and Purple and used the packaging technique to smoosh it onto my paper.

I waited a bit for the ink to dry and hopped right into embellishing using the die cuts, sticker accents and chipboard pieces. I created a metallic gold nest for the button flair and glued that down.

Finally, I added some gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine splatters to the page and called it done!

Thanks for stopping by today friends!

Timeless Beauties

Good Morning Friends!
Today I'm sharing this layout I created with the gorgeous Magnolia Jane collection by Heidi Swapp. It's full of neutrals and blush pinks and I'm loving the versatility of this collection.

I used a free digital cut file from Paper Issues. You can find it here: https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/free-files/products/bloom-free-cut-file

I cut it out of white cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo and layered them on top of the florals that I fussy cut from the collection. I really like the overall look this gives. 

For my title, I used a mix of a word from the Acetate Word Pieces and some Thickers from my stash. They were the perfect shade of chunky gold glitter.

I matted my photos using more patterned papers from the collection and used some foam sheet to give the whole piece some dimension. I also used a rectangular white doily from my stash as a layering piece. I love using doilies because they give a softness and femininity to layouts.

I also created a small cluster of the same die cut flowers and fussy cut florals in the top left hand corner. I added the date on a little blush tag and added a couple of ephemera pieces to the cluster.

Lastly, I embellished with some of the ephemera from the collection. I tucked in some pieces and layered with others. Overall, I feel like I kept this layout quite simple and tried not to over do it with the embellishing since there was already quite a bit going on with the die cuts.

Thank you  for stopping by today! I appreciate you being here 😊
