Rockaway Beach BoBunny Layout

Hey Everyone,

Tonight I want to share this beach layout I made using the BoBunny Boardwalk collect.

The title is made of the alpha stickers that come in the set. I fussy cut the beach balls from the opposite side of my background paper. I also fussy cut an edge along part of the lighthouse and part of the shells running along the bottom. I then slide part of the picture behind the fussy cut line.

Santa Layout

Hey everyone,

Today I have a cute Christmas layout to share. These are pics of my girls and my nephews with Santa in 2012. Its a tradition for my brother (and his wife) and I (and Adam) to take all 4 of our kids to get their pictures with Santa every year ever since my oldest nephew was born we always go to the same Santa. Last year he wasn't there :( we were kinda bummed and unfortunately, for some reason, we didn't do all 4 kids together and I think it had something to do with us not being able to get our schedules to work together. So anyway, here is my Santa layout.

I used DCWV stacks (Candy Cane Lane, Storybook Christmas, and Christmas & Winter Card Stock) to make this layout. The tags have burlap twine tied on them and the title is Thickers. I think my favorite thing about this layout is the Santa card in the middle of the pics because it fits with Harmony crying so well LOL.

Newport Open Sea 2 Page Layout

Hey everyone,

Today I have a 2 page scrapbook layout to share. One of my favorite ways to use ribbon on a layout is to use it as banners. I used the Dark Mint Lyon Wired Ribbon in 1-1/2 in to make the banner on the top right of the layout. I just cut banner shapes by and out of the ribbon and adhered with ATG tape. I made sure that the tops of the banners had the wired edge to help me bend them into shape to make a curve. 

I used the 1-1/2 in Dazzle Grosgrain ribbon in Tropic Blue to line the bottom of my pictures. I also added some over a couple different photos and one of the purple paper edges as photo corners. Over the bottom part of the dazzle ribbon I added a strip of Lavender 7/8 in Double Ruffle Ribbon. For both ribbons on the bottom I cut to have a banner/pennate shape on each end. To do this and have them the exact same you take the ribbon and fold over the ends (so that with the ruffle ribbon the ruffles from top and bottom touch), and then cut at a diagonal slant going up and in toward the middle of the fold.

I cut the title out using my Silhouette Cameo and added some different color sequins that matched the rest of the page around the edges of the title (in hopes they would resemble bubbles). I hope you all enjoyed my layout.

Loving Life layout

Hey everyone,

Today I have this "Loving Life" layout to share. The pic is a Mothers day shoot of me and the girls on Mothers day in 2012. All papers except for the background are scraps. I made the "Loving" and the tickets with my silhouette cameo. The "LIFE" is thickers. I used a black Zig pen for the "stitching" around the pink picture frame.

Happy Jayden Layout

Hey everyone,

Today I'm sharing a layout of Jayden when she was a little baby :). I cut the clouds and title with my Silhouette. I used silver glimmer mist to spray around. Adhered most things with ATG tape and the rest with pop dots (title cloud, cloud above title & date cloud). I inked around some of the clouds with a turquoise ink. Used a glaze pen for the date. Cut the photo corners with remainder of some of the banner papers. Pretty much everything is from my stash.

Bringing Harmony Home Layout

Hey everyone,

Today I have a layout of Harmony coming home from the hospital when she was born. 

I cut the title with my Cameo. Adhered everything with ATG tape, even the sequins. And the top photo is embossed pink paper with the cuttle bug and then I used ink to make the words stand out more. The embossed paper is adhered with pop dots as is the glitter banner on the bottom corner.

PIcnicing Bo Bunny layout

Hey everyone!

First of all let me say Happy April Fools day!! I'm usually a huge prankster and I always get Adam with something.. but this year I'm just not feeling it or I guess I just haven't had the time. We're taking the girls to the Circus today (they've never been before & I haven't been since I was like 8 so we're pretty excited).. I half-way wonder if he bought the tickets so I didn't have a chance to prank him lol. 

Today I have another layout to share. I used the Bo Bunny Lemonade Stand collection to make this layout. I fussy cut the arrows and the title from one of the Bo Bunny papers. I made the flower using a punch then a green sequin then on top of that a pink pearl. I put the arrows title and flower on pop dots. Everything else is adhered with ATG tape. The pic is Jayden & Harmony with their cousins (my nephews) on Easter 2012.

Summer Fun Layout

Hey everyone...

Tonight I have a 12x12 layout to share.  I used mainly scraps for this one but all of the papers are from my stash.. the background is a few years old. I designed/created and cut the suns, title & chevrons with DE and my Cameo. I adhered everything with ATG and Zig glue (for the smaller stuff like the letters and chevrons.

I was inspired by a Scrap Around the World mood board (March Challenge 23). I was inspired by the colors, chevrons, and the sun on the yellow image.
