Happy weekend friends! I'm coming to you today with another video, but this time featuring a Project Life double spread! I must apologize in advance because as you've probably noticed, my photos are lack luster and I'm really working on getting better lighting for photos and videos, so stayed tuned. Let's jump right into the layout share video and then I'll dive into the details about each section in text, just in case you'd rather read than listen to me ramble!

Feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel for more videos!

Here's the first half of the layout. All of the cards on this side are from the Becky Higgins Core Kit in the Happy Edition. Oh, and by the way, all of the products that I can find online for purchase will be down below! These photos are of my boyfriend and I when we traveled to Niagara FAlls (US side) for my birthday! It was a hot July day, but we saw and did so much. If you haven't seen my first PL spread share from the same trip, check it out here! 

The title card for this page I decided to name Great Views because I was in awe of how Mother Nature sculpted the beautiful falls. I strongly encourage everyone close by to go visit, you won't regret it! The title is created from some K & Company gray letter stickers and they are sitting above a piece of gray chevron by My Minds Eye. This little backpack ephemera piece is by a company called Momenta. I picked up that sticker pack at Big Lots in case you were wondering.

This next card will eventually, maybe, have journaling on it, but it was really fun to make. (Although, maybe if I could take a decent picture, half of it wouldn't be out of focus, sorry guys!) The ticket piece is from an Amy Tangerine pack and I've clustered it with some Heidi Swapp gold foil and little word stickers. Then the little kraft cardstock butterfly is from a Martha Stewart punch and the gems are from my stash.

For the other half of this double layout I decided to tackle a four pocket, pocket page. Each pocket measures 6x6, so I pulled out various paperp pads for this one. The top left (blue polka dot) is by My Mind's Eye, the upper right (plain blue) is by My Mind's Eye, and then the bottom two are both from the Crate Paper Notes & Things collection (which I just picked up and love!). 

To go in depth we'll start with the bottom right section which is my favorite on this layout! This cluster came together so naturally! The three die cut pieces (the note card, ticket, and leaf) are all from the Amy Tangerine set. The butterflies are again from a Martha Stewart punch, the blue and white baker's twine is from Michael's, the cork sticker and blue and yellow sticker are from Oriental Trading and then the little flag is from the Basic Grey Fact & Fiction collection. 

This cute little cluster is made up of two die cuts by K&Company and then some tiny word stickers from Heidi Swapp. You may also notice that there is a small patterned piece of paper around the photo and that paper is from My Mind's Eye as well.  

Now, for the final in-depth section  I'm going to get into. This square boggled me for a little bit, but I finally came up with something that I was happy with. I cut two strips of paper a kraft strip and then a strip from the 5th & Frolic line by Dear Lizzy and layered them together. I added extra flair by using an EK Success border punch on it. Then, to create another possible journaling spot, I layered two PL cards from the Happy Edition together (but trimmed the white one down and rerounded the corners). Then finished it all of with another sticker from the Momenta sticker set and a Marthat Stewart butterfly! I hope you all enjoyed this rather lengthy post! Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Wow, another layout! Starting to realize that all of my layouts look very similar! I need to burst out of my bubble and get some more inspiration. I think that the 200 photos I printed earlier this week will help my get in the groove. Just for a little update, I'll soon have some more project life pages coming as well as some cards, so stay tuned! Now onto today's layout!

As per my last few layouts, this one begins with a background paper by American Crafts + Dear Lizzy from the Day Dreamer collection. The other papers featured include the gray grid and gray chevron from My Mind's Eye. The blue ticket paper is from Dear Lizzy 5th and Frolic 6x6 pad. Then the little floral paper is from a collection by Studio Calico. I'm really trying to use up some of my 6x6 paper pads because why not?! The photo corners are a navy color and they are from Heidi Grace.

Up at the top left corner, where apparently I put all my clusters is a cute banner from Basic Grey. This is from their Fact or Fiction collection which I have been accidentally hoarding and just found again. I'm not too crazy about some of the pieces, so be on the lookout for a giveaway over on my YouTube channel once I reach 500 subscribers! 

The main inspiration for this layout was this cut apart piece from the same Day Dreamer by American Crafts set. It really went along with the photo. In case you're wondering, this was from Christmas 2014 and my boyfriend bought me a cute diamond ring. I absolutely love it and wear it everyday. Thanks Sam! The tag I'm using for journaling is by Recollections and the little cork banner piece is by Oriental Trading.

Then, the final touch for this layout is this cute little chipboard arrow from Amy Tangerine + American Crafts. I hope you enjoyed this simple layout and that it inspires more spring colored layouts! All products will be listed below. Thanks for stopping by!

My Minds Eye Record it Paper Pad, 6 by 6-Inch, Here is Happy

Hello friends! I hope you're having a lovely week as always. I've got another layout to share with you. This one is particularly fun because it uses the primary colors! I feel like I always see layouts that use fun color combos and the primary colors often get left out. Well that will be no longer since you have some inspiration to use them for other things besides school layouts. 

This 12x12 cardstock is by Dear Lizzy as part of the Day Dreamer collection. I love all of the geometric patterns in this paper pad, especially this one. I then used some 6x6 papers from the Hey Day collection from Studio Calico. The white and craft flower die cuts are by Studio 112. I added a little bit more detail on the red piece of paper by using my EK Success lattice border punch.

The yellow chipboard border is by Thickers and I got mine at Tuesday Morning. This little cluster is made up from some scraps. I used my Fiskars scalloped circle punch and some kraft paper. Then I also utilized my Martha Stewart butterfly punch to cut out that teeny tiny butterfly. The "going places" die cut is from a Shimelle die cut pack. I used a roller stamp by American Crafts and some Memento black ink to add the "happy place". To finish off this cluster, I added some jewels and dots from my stash.

This title die cut is from the same die cut pack and so is the journaling tag to the left. I thought this die cut was just so cute and I couldn't wait to use it.

This final top left cluster is a culmination of all of the things I mentioned before with a few twists. The blue heart sticker is from an Oriental Trading family sticker sheet, The tiny tag is punched using my EK Success three ticket punch. Then, the "January" is stamped in black memento ink and the stamp is from a Basic Grey set. Last, but certainly not least, is the cork elements which are also from Oriental Trading! I hope you enjoyed my layout. Products that are still available will be linked below.

Hi there! Welcome to my blog! Today I have a fun layout that I'm sharing with you. This is one of my favorite layouts I have ever made and I hope you like it too. These photos are of my boyfriend and I when we went to an SU basketball game on New Year's Eve. If you see a particular product that you love be sure to check out the links at the bottom of this post.

This background paper is by American Crafts and is part of the Dear Lizzy Day Dreamer line. I began with this piece of cardstock and some navy blue acrylic paint. I wanted to thin out my paint, so I mixed it with a little bit of water and used a wide flat brush to add some paint to the background.

All of my layering papers behind my photos are from Studio Calico's Hey Day or the 5th & Frolic line. I really loved this orange and blue palate that I choose.

The title is made out of two different fonts. As you see most of my layouts contain two different fonts. I just really like the look of mixing fonts and it's a great way to add interest to your layout. The orange stickers are from my stash, not sure on the brand. The white foam stickers are by Thickers and love how they add dimension. I also have a cluster of some sequins, gems, and stamps. The arrow stamp is stamped in black memento ink and the stamp is from a set by Heidi Swapp. The "this was rad" stamp is a roller stamp by Dear Lizzy.

I created another cluster on the bottom corner of this photo. The heart 3-D sticker, the buttons, and the orange trim is from the Michael's dollar section. The translucent stars are from Heidi Swapp.

This other cluster at the top left of the layout consists of most of the same things. Some of the extra things include the tag from Shimelle diecut pack and some twine also from Michael's. That pretty much finishes up the layout! I hope you enjoyed and the product list will be below! Thanks for stopping by!

Tsukineko Full-Size Memento Fade Resistant Inkpad, Tuxedo Black

Hello friends! I hope you're all having a great day. I've got a really fun project to share with you today that I'm giving my apartment-mates for Valentine's Day! Get your watercolors ready, because here we go! Don't forget to watch my video tutorial on the end for more details. 

This super adorable 3"x 3" card was so fun to make and didn't take too much effort for this beautiful look. I started off this project by cutting my Canson watercolor paper to 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" then taped it down to a flat surface to prevent bubbling. 

Next, I began to wet all the colors I wanted to use in my watercolor palate. Then, after thoroughly cleaning off my brush, I made a fun shaped pool of water on my watercolor paper. Now, you don't want to go too overboard with the water, but enough so the colors can move and blend together.

Once you've got your puddle formed, you can start adding your color. I did a diagonal dark to light gradient of pinks and reds for mine, but again, do whatever your little heart desires. In the video, you can see my process in more detail such as where I blot off certain parts and even add splatters. Once your painting is completely dry, we can stamp on our sentiment! I used some black Memento ink to stamp this adorable sentiment from Michael's. 

To complete the look of these two beauties, I mounted them onto a 3" x 3" kraft cardstock base and added some sequins for a little bit of sparkle. If you want more details be sure to check out my video below! As always, there will be a list of product links below for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone! Thanks for coming by! I have another layout for you today and in case you might not have known, one of my goals for 2016 is to scrapbook a ton more. So, be prepared for more scrapbooking posts! 

Today's layout is a very simple one and uses scraps, woohoo! I've really been addicted to always grabbing my Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic 6x6 paper pad and my Studio Calico paper pad. These two really can go hand in hand if you pick the right papers. 

The background paper is by Colorbok and this title is made out of two different sticker sets. 'Lovely' is made out of some white Thickers by American Crafts. The other part , the 'hi' is a 3-D sticker by Michael's. The arrow is also from the same set.

My favorite part of this layout are the little banners that I cut out. This is a really fun way to use your scraps! It creates dimension, interest, and a focal point for the layout. 

Both cut-apart pieces on this page are from the same paper pads that I used for the rest of the layout  as well. I used my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to add some metal detail.

Overall, I really loved how this layout turned out. For the journaling spot I created, I used a Fiskars 1 1/2" scalloped circle punch. Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed!
