100% Country

Hello friends! Happy Friday! Today I am sharing a layout over at Paper House Productions.  I love their horse papers and horse stickers and thought it was perfect for this layout of my niece and her horse Cameo.

Supply List

100% Country 3D Stickers

Horses Puffy Stickers

Footballs 12" Double Sided Scrapbook Paper

Gridiron 12" Double Sided Scrapbook Paper

Hat And Boots 12 " Scrapbook Paper

I added some journaling strips.

and beautiful 3D puffy stickers and 3D card stock stickers to the top and bottom of my photo.  I just love the dimension it gives the layout.  The stickers are such beautiful quality.

Stitching gives the layout a homespun feel and also some added texture.
I used some papers from the All Star Football Collection for the two patterned paper strips that I added to the right hand side of the layout.  Sometimes it's fun to add some papers to a page that are created for an intended theme but used for a completely different theme.

Finally I added some sequins that I threaded on a piece of twine to direct the eye to the photo.

I hope you are inspired to create a layout with some 3D stickers and use patterned paper in a different way than was intended.  Be sure and check out all the beautiful stickers and papers at Paper House Productions.  There are hundreds to choose from. One for every theme you can possibly think of.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

April 15 Sketch At Stuck?! Sketches

Hello friends!  Happy Tuesday!  Today there is another sketch and design team reveal at Stuck?! Sketches and I created a layout on my niece who is an avid horse lover and enjoys English and Western riding as well as barrel racing and jumping.  My brother, who passed away when she was two, would have been proud of his daughter.  She really looks like him when he was a child and they both share the daredevil and fearless personality. Hahaha.

For this layout I used the Giddy Up Girl Collection from Carta Bella, which is perfect for any girl that loves horses.  I cut the accordion flower with my Silhouette Cameo and also a border and then laced it with some ribbon as well as used a texture stamp and some wood stars for interest.

Here is the sketch that is designed by owner and designer Laura Whitaker.  She really has a talent for designing amazing sketches.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to create with this sketch and link up for a chance at an amazing prize.  All the details and the entire design team reveal is here.

Have a creative day!

Horses Forever Mini Album

Happy Sunday!  Today I wanted to share a mini album that I created for my niece Laine.  It's been a long time since I have made a mini album and it was fun!  My niece is a horse lover and she loves to ride and compete.  Cameo her horse is pretty special to her.  Funny, we both love our Cameo's.  Haha.

For this album I cut out the album pages with Silhouette Chipboard and my Silhouette Cameo and dressed it up with papers and stickers from the Giddy Up Girl Collection by Carta Bella.  The papers are nice and strong and perfect for mini albums.   I didn't go embellishment crazy because I wanted it to lay somewhat flat and make the photos more of the focus.  Please excuse the poor quality photos.  I took these in a hurry.  Here is my album:

I hope you enjoyed and are inspired to try a mini album.  I am looking forward to giving it to my niece. She took most of the photos and I want to surprise her.  Have a great day!
