Scrapbooking...

It's been hit or miss on makin time to scrapbook but I did want to share a few of my latest projects.

You are my Happy - 2 Page Layout

 

Still lacking photos but I loved using the product from Echo Park to create a boyish layout featuring a technique  of layring squares to create the triagular edge which was a fun & easy element using paper to make a unique border.

 

Adore 2 Page Layout



 

 

This layout is a blend of vintage & bold modern patterns which I think is a great combo. I used lots of Hiedi Swapp Sugar Chic product to great this. I handcut flower blooms from patterened paper for the top right corner. Sprayed lost of banners with Glimmer mist to create layer, texture & sparkle too.

 

Spring, 2 Page Layout

 

 

To know Rhonna Farrar's work is to love her, I'm in fact a little obsessed with her & was just tickled she collaborated with My Minds Eye as a designer for this paper line.

 

I used a playful mixture of the patterned paper & stickers from the collection. I also used sewing patterns to create a looped fring border & flower. The title letters are Pink Paislee, sprayed with Glimmer Mist.

 

I love sparkle so used some glitter paper incorpareted as banners on both pages.

 

Overall it was a fun & fresh page...now to find the perfect photos to compliment the designs.

Anyway, busy busy bee here so I am off and running but wanted to share of few pics of our summer which is gardening, grilling and SMORES!

4Ever Layout

So this is one of favorite and simple scrapbooking layouts. I just wanted to post for your viewing pleasure. It features a photo of my hubby and I on the steets of downtown Chicago just after Christmas in 2007. It is muted and urban in feel, featuring Rusty Pickle paper, stickers & packaging even. I added some Say it in Crystals for dimension and bling.

Live life. Scrapbook it.
