We Were Here | Inspiration

Hello all!  Wendy here and let's greet this month of March head on with some beachy, springy, sunshiny vibes, shall we?  In living about 40 min from the beach (hey, don't hate) and the serenity of the Gulf Coast, I am completely absorbed in the peace and calm of the ocean.  Honestly, I can say I've never experienced a 'true' winter (again, don't envy) but I do like to share up my Gulf Coast living around here.  I've probably taken a million seagull pictures but each one is so unique.  Something about seagulls (their sound is the best), pelicans (their beaks are a bit scary as one did snap at me once...ok, I digress) and the beach....well, all collective of 'easy living' to pause and reflect.  

So, let's vacay together in my project today.

Somehow my husband spends more time at the beach than I do, I'm still working out that equation. Ha!  And I always joke with him that the seagulls and pelicans are his bodyguards and best friends.  They croak at me (and steal my sandwich, truth) and soar with open wings to him .  I don't get it!  We are both quite lovable but oh well....'we were here' together. Ha!

I love the Evalicious badge buttons.  The cool typewriter words in the Vintage Maps Badge Buttons are perfect for adding to the edge of your photos.  I also used Snip Snip page tabs  and Snip Snip Labels layered around my photos too.

It's fun to mix it up with stamping as layers around photos.  I used the 'fly away' stamp from the Fly Away Stamp Set.  

I added some watercoloring and free form messy journaling as another layer on my project.  

I hope you enjoyed our mini vacation (for a moment) together!  

xo, Wendy

Inspiration | Today's Highlight

Hi there!

It's Laura here today sharing a new project with you all, featuring loads of Evalicious goodies! ! 

My youngest and I took turns snapping pictures while he, my husband and I were at a winery tour last summer.  We managed to grab quite a few great pictures so I wanted to try to incorporate several onto my page.

While there, I grabbed this winery tour map, knowing that I would want to incorporate it onto a layout one day.  Well today is "one day"!

I used labels from Just us snipsnip labels, Escape snipsnip labels, and Love You Lots snipsnip labels. A couple fo tags from the So Daily large tag set, and a page tab from the Hello 2014 set.  Badge buttons from the Everyday V1 and V2 set.  Puffy stickers from  Itinerary V1 , Itinerary V2, and Talk to Me set.  A sticker from the Everyday Miscellany Stickers .  And a Camera Love paper clip to adorn my page.

Here are some close up shots:

Thanks for visiting!  And don't forget
