Some Exciting News!

Hello friends! It's been so long since I have posted here on my blog. I wanted to share some happy news today. I have a layout included in the Fall 2018 issue of Scrapbook And Cards Today Magazine!

Here is the layout that I created.

I'm all about using up paper collections and cut paper strips from the Echo Park Paper A Perfect Autumn Collection. I love the teal mixed in with the typical autumn colored papers. To complete the layout, I added some machine stitching with the teal twine and my We R Memory Keepers Stitch Happy Sewing Machine. 

It is another fabulous issue and I am excited to be included in Scrapbook And Cards Today's 51st issue.  There are so many amazing layouts from many scrapbookers. The magazine can be purchased at many scrapbook stores in Canada and the U.S.A. and it can be downloaded for FREE here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend! 

Hugs,

Hello friends! Today I wanted to share a layout that I created for A Flair For Buttons using some flair from the new Watercolor Splatters Flair Set. 

As soon as I saw these flair, I knew that I wanted to add them to my layout. I chose the green, pink and blue flair buttons from the set to add to my layout. The colors coordinate perfectly with the colors of my layout. I strategically placed them in a triangle to draw the eyes around the page.

I put my We R Memory Keepers Stitch Happy Sewing Machine to work and machine stitched in pink, aqua, and citrine thread on the white card stock background. When I planned out the page, I wanted to stitch a design that would draw the eye to the flower. 

The photo was matted on some papers from the new Photoplay Paper Mad For Plaid Happy Collection. I really love the plaid and the colors in this collection. Also, I added some stickers popped up with foam dots, and die cut some butterflies on vellum and wrapped some citrine thread around the centers of the butterflies.

The cut file and title were free digital cut files from Scrapbook Nerd. I cut the title on black card stock and the floral cut file on white card stock with my electronic die cutting machine. I wanted the title to really pop so I added some faux stitching with a white gel pen.

 For the floral cut file, I used some Vicki Boutin Art Crayons and water to paint the flowers and added some enamel dots to the middle of the flowers.

 

I am really pleased how my layout turned out.
