Clayton's 15th Birthday Layout

Hello friends! Happy Tuesday! I wanted to share a layout I created of my son's birthday last year.

I wanted a title that made a statement and popped off the page so I created my own title with my Silhouette Cameo creating the text in a circle and then backing it with solid color papers to make it pop.

I used the Making Waves and Nautical Collection by Fancy Pants Designs for all the papers (except the white card stock) die cuts, tags, bags and stickers.

I added some Heidi Swapp Colorshine in yellow and navy and red to direct the eye around the page.

I love using paper collections for different themes than what they are made for such as this layout which is a birthday layout when the collections are more for summer and the beach.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

…And Away We Go Layout

Hello friends! I hope you are enjoying your day.  Today I wanted to share a layout that I created with some inspiration from Paige Evans.  Paige is a very talented scrapbooker and I love the way she can come up with amazing designs and how she always thinks outside the box.

For my layout,  I used the Fancy Pants Nautical Collection and decided to go with an anchor shape that was applicable to the nautical theme. This photo was taking on a Hawaii Cruise I took and the ship was sailing beside the Napoli Coast.  This is a great way to use scraps of paper.

I machine stitched around the design and embellished with some Fancy Pants buttons, stickers, die cuts, chipboard, and a  mini bag that are also from the Fancy Pants Nautical Collection. To complete the layout I added some twine, and a flair button from A Flair For Buttons.  Below are a few photos of closeups:

This was so fun to do and although it was time consuming, I think the end result made it worth it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!
