Happy Memories | Inspiration

HI there!

Laura here sharing a new layout today.  I am really enjoying using a minimal of patterned papers and just letting these gorgeous Evalicious stamps, tags and embellishments shine!

Back in 2011 my husband, little guy and I were fortunate enough to spend Halloween at Disney World with our friends.  It was an incredible experience.  My husband dressed up as Indiana Jones and our son was his son "Mutt" Jones.  I, of course, did my own thing and dressed as one of the Disney princesses.

I added colour to these great wood veneer using water colour paints, I love how easy it is - the paint takes really well and dries super quick.

I also added some paint to this page tab to help it pop of my white background.  Aren't the badge buttons (flair) and wood veneer so cute!

Another veneer with a different colour of paint.

I love using these large tags on my layouts, they are really pretty and graphic - plus they remind me to journal the story behind the photo!  I used one of the stamps from the "this way"  collection to document the day of the week the photo was taken, super fun!

Explore | Inspiration

Hi there!

Laura here today sharing a page documenting a favourite summer activity - cave exploring!  There is a park about 45 minutes away from our trailer that has several caves that all the boys in my family love to crawl into and through.  They love to check out the varied depths, widths and temperatures.  If memory serves me correctly there are about 7 that they can go into.  I am the waiter, stuff carrier and photo snapper - it is good to have a purpose, lol!

I started my page by adding water colour paints to the background, using two different techniques and three different colours (well, actually I used several colours, but combined them to make three colours found in the products that I used.

Then I began building up and offset grid of cards, tags, and my photo.  After which I layered on lots and lots of great Evalicious Embellishments.

 

I have a couple of Disney photos that I think would look great with this collection, may just have to try that next!

i'm addicted to FROZEN LEMONADE | Inspiration

Hi there!

Laura here today, sharing my latest DT project.  I was inspired by all of the new Life's Sweet goodies to create this page of my youngest enjoying a frozen lemonade.  Lemonade has always been his beverage of choice and we dare not run out, but frozen lemonade is all the better and such a treat for him.

Life's Sweet  is full of vibrant colours and darling icons, I dug through my stash of papers and pulled out some great colours to coordinate with these goodies. I opted for a lot of white (or orange) space on my layout and several layers behind my photo.

The stickers, badge buttons and wooden accents layer up so perfectly together.  I also added a bit of stamping onto my page and used a Copic marker to add colour to the stamp.

Combining the puffy alpha stickers and a stamp to create my title worked out great, it is te perfect size for my page.

I like to pull in and layer a variety of elements like the labels and page tabs to create a small embellishment cluster on an opposing corner when I leave a lot of white space on my page, I love the look and it means I get to add more goodies to the page!

I also stamped this adorable cup with the little hearts in it and coloured it with water colour paints.  Although this little cup was designed to represent bubble tea, is just perfect for any sweet bevie!
