Lemonade Layout

Hello friends! Are you ready for summer? I know when I created this layout for My Creative Scrapbook with the June Creative Kit, that I had summer on the brain. Of course lemonade is something that came to mind when I saw this lemon patterned paper.

The papers, stickers, chipboard stickers and ephemera are from the new Pebbles Sunshiny Days Collection. There was a lot of fussy cutting for this layout but I actually sat on the deck with a cold drink and cut away. I find it so relaxing.

Here are some more closeups of my layout.

I wanted to stay with the yellow color for this layout. I also added some machine stitching to tack down the chipboard title and also the fussy cut lemon wedges and around the outside edge of the layout with some yellow thread. Sometimes it's fun to stitch with different colors of thread as I tend to use white thread for most of my layouts. 

Be sure and check out all the June kits at My Creative Scrapbook. Have an awesome day!

Remember You Are My Sunshine

Hello friends! Today I am sharing another layout on the blog at A Flair For Buttons.

I used flair from the Relax Flair set and the Just Hearts 1 set.  Sometimes I like the flair buttons to color coordinate and these flair buttons do just that.  The papers and ephemera on this layout are from the Here Comes The Sun Collection by Pretty Little Studio.

Make A Splash

Hello again! Hope you are having a great day so far.  Today my layout is featured over at Just Nick Digital Cut Files using the "Make A Splash" cut file that is included in the Summer Lovin cut file set.

I adore the title and wanted to make it pop off the page so I enlarged it and cut it out on black cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo.  After it was cut, I worked on my white cardstock background and "watercolored" the background with the Ranger Salty Ocean Distress Ink and then added some splatters and sequins to make it look like splashes.

For the patterned papers, I founds some papers from the October Afternoon Treasure Map Collection that I thought would go well with the theme of my page.  I tore three paper strips and machine stitched them to the left side of the page to direct the eye to the photos.  

On the left edge of my page I added a few strands of blue embroidery floss that I had in my stash and threaded the sequins onto the floss.  I thought it would give the page more interest.

I matted the two photos with some aqua vellum and added some embellishments around the page.  I used some flair buttons from A Flair For Buttons, some wood veneers, chipboard, enamel dots and some stickers on the top left and bottom right of my page.

It was so much fun creating this page.  I really love just having fun and getting inky and messy.  Have a great day!
