Filled With Love

Hi all! Back again with a layout to share. I loved the sketch from Elle's Studio this week, and really wanted to play along.

 

The sketch calls for a large photo, but I was more inspired by the "pocket" look and the Polaroids at the top. I had been holding on to these photos and this paper for just the right layout. I knew this sketch was going to be perfect!

 

Here is my take on the sketch:

 

 

I totally threw design concepts out the window with this one, and just started going with it. I LOVED creating this way! Normally, after a layout is finished, I analyze this, and analyze that, always seeing tons on things I would change. Not this time...I just had fun, and I am pretty happy with this new found freedom! :)

 

If you missed my post earlier, check it out here. Very exciting news! :)

 

Hope you all have a great evening, and take time to create something you love! :)

Hi all! Happy Saturday!! Hope you all are enjoying the weekend!

Last night, I had some time after the kiddos went to bed to get crafty. I had saved this sketch from Studio Calico from a few weeks back, and I really wanted to get to work on it!

 

I also wanted to use a Two Peas challenge to scrap your color stash.  I ended up using two colors on this one, but I was still able to clean out some scraps and whatnot.

 

Here  is my layout:

 

 

I had forgot how much I loved sketches! Never would have done this without one...are you seeing the circles! lol.

 

Hope you all have a great weekend, and take time to create something you love!



 

 



More We R CHA Projects

Hi all!! Happy Thursday!! I hope you guys have had a great week watching all the videos and pictures from CHA. I know I have! Of course, makes me wish I was there though!

Today I have a couple of more projects to share with you that I made using the new Chalkboard collection from We R Memory Keepers. You can view the whole collection here, and it will be shipping this month! They have been having tons of fun giveaways on the blog! Hope you have played along...there might even be more to come, so make sure you head over to the blog and check them out and follow!

First up, I have an albums made easy page to share with you. This was so fun to put together. All of the cards have the cutest sayings on them, and it made this page come together in a snap!

 

Next is a quick and easy little card that I put together.  The sentiment on here is actually from one of the tags included in this collection. I just altered it a bit to fit the look I was going for with the card.

 

This collection is beyond gorgeous! I loved working with it, and plan on picking more of it up for myself! :) Be on the look out for it soon!

 

Thanks for stopping by, and hope you all have a great day, and take time to create something you love!



We R Memory Keepers CHA Release

Hi all!! A few weeks back I shared that I was lucky enough to be able to design a few projects for We R Memory Keepers using their new Chalkboard collection, that will be shipping in July.

This collection is gorgeous, and I had so much fun working with it! I wanted to share a few of the projects I made!

First up is this little mini notebook. The collection has this fun paper with chalkboard sentiments on it, and I thought it would be fun to cut one up and use it as the title of my notebook. This would be a fun little journal book to take along on a trip.

Then I had so much fun layering on this layout. The colors and patterns from this collection are absolutely gorgeous, it was so easy to be inspired!

 

I will have more projects to share later in the week! Make sure you visit the We R blog this week to get full reveals and enter into some fun giveaways!



I Carry Your Heart

Happy Friday!! So happy for the lazy weekend ahead after the CRAZY week of running we just had!

I did, somehow, manage to get in a little crafty time, and I wanted to share this layout with you today.

Now, this is a little different look for me, but I had this picture in my mind, and I am so glad it worked like I planned.

 

I really love all the little geo tags around that use a heart for the center...then when my SC Project Life kit came in for July, there was the cue little card in there with tons of arrows pointing in at this little heart filled geo. It inspired me!

 

I used a cut file from Two Peas for the geo, I simply ungrouped it. then sized the "tag" part to what I wanted. Then I opened my photo in my Silhouette software and played around with sizing of that and the heart until I achieved the look I wanted.

 

I absolutely love this little quote from the poem by e.e. cummings, and that it tied in perfectly with both my photo and the geo marker.

 

Have some fun stuff to share next week, until then, have a great weekend, and take time to create something you love!
