Now Playing Layout

Today I am on the A Flair For Buttons blog sharing a layout of some of the movies my hubby and I have gone to see at the local theater for some of our date nights.

I used three flair buttons from the At The Movies flair set for this layout.

For my papers, I used some older Bella Blvd. patterned papers and stickers from the Scattered Sprinkles Collection and also machine stitched the paper strips in place instead of adding adhesive to the back of the strips to keep the strips in place.  The layout was inspired by a sketch from Laura Whitaker.

I arranged the flair buttons in clusters with some stars that I punched out with a star paper punch.  

I arranged my 2X2 photos in a group.

I also added some splatters of black ink and some red thread for more texture and interest.

Here are the lovely flair buttons.  Aren't they perfect?

Love You Layout

Hello friends! Today I wanted to share a layout I created of my daughter.  This was way back in 1999 when she was 12 and just became a big sister to my youngest son.

I cut out my background cut file (A Just Nick Digital Cut File named Fantastic Floral Background) on white card stock with my Silhouette Cameo and backed it with some Bella Blvd. paper.  

I then took out my watercolors and painted the petals of the die cut background with the same colors as the striped paper (orange, grey, red, pink, yellow, green, and blue) from the Bella Blvd. Scattered Sprinkles Collection.

I also painted around the outside edge of the die cut background with watercolors, added some paint splatters and journaling.

To finish the layout I added a Bella Blvd. orange crochet heart, felt bow, some stickers for the title, enamel dots and some DMC floss.

I am happy how it turned out.  I hope you like it too.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
