14 & Noteworthy | Inspiration

Hello All!

Wendy here and I can't believe this is the countdown for the last two projects on the Evalicious design team!  WOW, time flies when you're having fun, right?!  I hope I've inspired you, even if a little bit, while hanging out here with Evalicious.  I can definitely say the product is VERY inspiring and makes creating a breeze.  Feels good when amazing product works your mojo in that way, ha!

Project Inspiration | I created this project based on 2014 (aka '14) inspiration from travels earlier this year and my love for a touch of mixed media to my projects.  So, I worked both worlds for love of travel + mixed media for you.

I worked several details into my project using LOTS of Evalicious goodies!  So, let's get to it!  Also, too many times I'll grab 1-2 photos for a project but I made an exception here to use 5 photos.  

I used the '&' from Just Us Miscellany V2 as part of my title '14 & Noteworthy'.  It was just the perfect pop of dimension for a twist on my title work.  I added my own touch of painting and misting on the numbers and cardstock base.

I chose to stamp directly on my photo with the Road Trip stamp set + Staz-On ink.  I used the little car sticker from Itinerary V1 Puffy Stickers and my vintage typewriter for the bit of journaling on the photo.  

What is traveling without a few eats along the way?!  I know I like to check out the local eats when traveling. Well, this banana pudding was to dieeee for right in my own state of Alabama and definitely 'good eats'.  I used the badge button from Everyday V1 along with a fun sticker from Everyday Miscellany for a bit of expression on that pic.  

Sometimes I like to take my stamping to the next level.  So, I worked the 'hello' stamp from Typewriter Love stamp set.   I made a fun twist with the geotag stamp from Love Today along with map badge from Vintage Maps to tie into my pattern paper.  Also, a sweet puffy sticker 'here' from Itinerary V1 Puffy Stickers.  I love this whimsical twist to my project!

As an ending polish to my project, I added a photo from a Feb '14 visit to my fiancé's city in Austria along and used the 'love it here' from Itinerary V2 Puffy Stickers.   

Hope I inspired you today!  

I have one final project for Evalicious coming up 6/27. <<insert sad face>>

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

Home Around Here | Inspiration

Hello All!  

Wendy here to share up some weekend inspiration for ya!

I chose to go for a simplistic layout on this one.  I worked in some fab Evalicious stamps using the Week in the Life Prompts along with my favorite puffy stickers and Everyday V1 Badge Buttons.

This layout really captures a couple of my favorite loves...my mom and my fiancé.  The type of love that feels strong, comfy, real, and pure. 

I chose to go with a single photo on a one-page layout.  I used kraft cardstock as my base color.  Then, I layered coordinating house pattern paper and house diecut shapes.  The splash of green on the striped paper worked well with the striping on the chipboard letters.

I used the 'around here' stamp from Week in the Life Prompts on a vertical line.  I like to change things up time to time from creating on the horizontal.  Ha! So, I went the vertical route on this part of the title work.

The 'hello moment' badge button from Everyday V1 Badge Buttons was added to the edge of my striped paper.  

The 'photo love' puffy sticker from Hello 2014 Miscellany V2 Puffy Stickers was added as a bit of free spirit touch.  Also, I used the 'family photo' puffy sticker arrow from Camera Love Puffy Stickers to the edge of my photo.

I couldn't resist using the sofa page tab from Just Us Snip Snip Page Tabs.  I mean how cute is that sofa?  Oh, and I love that little pop of yellow!

Hope I inspired you today!

Corso NYC | Inspiration

Hello All!  Wendy here to share up some weekend inspiration for ya first of all...

HAPPY {INTER} NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY (NSD)!!

Have you shopped it up yet with the amazing special NSD sale happening here with Evalicious?
Cool stuff to be had, so go & get some! :)

So, I'm bringing you a fun layout, Corso NYC, today using my mixed media flair and some sweet Evalicious goodies, of course.

My inspiration for this layout came from a trip to NYC last Spring '13.  My fiancé & I stayed at the Paramount Hotel in the heart of NYC and it was AMAZING in decor & location but the best feature was the WONDERFUL Italian coffee shop right in the wing of the hotel, Corso.  The scent alone just lured you in at all times of day and I'm not even a coffee lover. Yes, surprise.  I do love a cappuccino well because it's mostly milk. Ha!  However, my fiancé as being Italian is ALL about some daily rounds of the strong stuff, Espresso.  No wonder it comes in only a 'shot glass' as it goes straight to the veins. Ha!  

So, when in NYC, definitely check out Corso, so worth a pop in to stand (as they have no chairs/benches) for a coffee + delicious pastry.  

Yes, don't forget the pastry. Good stuff.  Thumbs up!

Here's a bit more 'behind-the-scenes' of my layout....

For the 'coffee stains', I used a stencil and Liquitex Modeling Paste.  I mixed Gouache paint in Burnt Sienna with the modeling paste for the brown color.  I love the texture of modeling paste for a dimensional and different twist to my projects.  Always make sure to let your modeling paste dry completely before proceeding with the rest of your project.

Next, I added the perfect 'yes' and clock badge buttons from Everyday V2 Badge Buttons and the coffee mug badge button from Everyday V1 Badge Buttons.  Just the perfect accents to add to my 'coffee stains'.

How about that stamp?!  I used the 'time of the day' stamp from the Love Today Stamp Set.  I used it along the edge of my photo.  The Evalicious stamps are like a dream in crisp images of great quality when stamping.  I'm rather picky about my stamps, and they just rock!

Behind the photo I used the 'this is so daily' large tag from the So Daily collection.  

Did you know Evalicious also has stickers?! Yep, for the sweet ending to my layout, I used the 'yes' coffee mug sticker from Everyday Miscellany Stickers.

Hope I inspired you today!
