Love

I had fun using some scraps and some lovely Dear Lizzy vellum I've been hoarding.  Tropical vacations with palm trees just scream bright fun colors right!? 

I kept the embellishing to a minimum as I used more patterned paper on this layout. 

A view of the dimension created.  Love the Amy Tangerine thickers from Plus One!

This moment

I've been holding onto these pictures for too long and I'm happy I'm getting them scrapped.  I really like including multiple photos on a page and this layout does just that.  I die cut the "this" part of my title and played with watercolors, always fun.

A full view of the layout.  I used a transparency I have been hoarding as my base under my photos.  

 More dimension with layers, veneer, enamel dots and stickers.

Hello Adventure

I really do love grid layouts and being able to layer and treat each square as it's own little mini spot to embellish.  I tried to keep this one more simple with the embellishments.

 A full look at the layout here.  I used the awesome Dear Lizzy paper for my background and then a few scraps from my stash for all the squares. 

A closer look to see the dimension created with enamel dots and the middle square that used pop dots for the plane sticker.  You can also see the little circle veneer that I framed the globe sticker with.  I used a teal dauber to color the veneer.

I could get used to this life

I finally went on a little scrapping spree and got some layouts done from a vacation earlier last year which makes me happy so today I'm sharing one.

 I've never been a big fan of yellow but decided to make it work and I like the result.  I die cut the title with my cameo in white cardstock and used watercolors to make the title yellow.

I used a black pen to outline the title in a dot "stitch" look and love how it makes the title pop!

 Another watercolor heart cut with my cameo and some enamel dots for dimension.

Hello love

I never use kraft cardstock for my background but something urged me to give it a try (I literally had two pieces of kraft in my stash.)  I wanted to play around with the blacks, aquas and lime colors I love so that's just what I did here.

 Lots of scraps here from my stash to create some visual interest and three smaller photos along the right side of the layout.

 I can't stay away from my enamel dots, love them!  I also used the love cut file from Studio Calico's sugar rush digital files.

Some more looks at the layers, a little pop of a tag, enamel dots and a resin flower.

Merry Day

I decided to do a grid layout type design for this layout as I wanted to use multiple pieces of scrap paper and some transparencies.  I love the way it turned it out.

 

Here is the full layout...lots of Studio Calico Magical goodies.

I did some embossing in the lines of the patterned paper with gold glitter zing.  The stamp is from Ali Edwards by Technique Tuesday, last years December Daily Stamp Set.

Another view, you can really see that gold shine...love that!

Believe

I took the time to scrap a wedding photo of ours that I just love.  No we have nothing to do with the fire hydrant it just makes a great pop of color and an awesome photo prop...just fun.  I know the word believe can come across as a Christmas word but I'm using it here to believe in, well you guessed, a happy life starting with a wedding....don't I sound sappy??

The full layout, pops of red with black and white, love the combo. I used some Freckled Fawn black and white airmail washi tape and just love it.  I kept this layout pretty simple with embellishments, a tag and a brad, as the Printshop paper adds a busy background.

 A little closeup of my die cut with the wood veneer hearts to dot the "i"

I circled the sentence "Look at us now, so happy together" in the Printshop paper by Studio Calico...it seemed so perfect!
