Paris Hot Chocolate and Art Double Page Layout

Here is a peek at the whole layout: 

Happy Friday! I made a layout last night using my new Teresa Collins "Everyday Moments" paper collection. How I love that woman. She has the most elegant designs...perfect for Paris <3. These photos were taken at the Musée de l'Orangerie. It was so amazing seeing Picasso, Renoir and Monet paintings up close that I had only previously viewed in books. Here is a close up of the first page: 

 Here is a close up of the second page. The stamp with the journaling block is from Close to My Heart. Aren't the paintings breathtaking? I'm so happy they photographed well. Now I can remember them forever. 

 This adorable hot chocolate cup is from the Cricut Winter Frolic cartridge. I added some white details using my gel pen. I used three pieces of twine for the bow. The hot cocoa card is from October Afternoon. 

 The yellow paper is from the Bazzil Basics Swiss Dots Collection. The velvet roses are from Making Memories. I wish I had more of those! They don't make them anymore and I was saving them for a special page. 

 Oh these flowers were so fun to make! Cosmo Cricket has little adhesive circles called "Gluebers" and you take ribbon (these are from My Mind's Eye, Stella Rose) and place it in a circular pattern. The instructions say that a kid can make them. It's true. No sewing. It seriously took less than a minute to put these together. I highly recommend adding Gluebers to your adhesive collection. I placed a brad in the center of the flowers. 

 I had to ask the boy how to say " Hot Chocolate and Art" in French. He helped me with the title. :)

 This Cricut Gypy Font has to be one of my favorites. You receive it when you buy a Gypsy. I use it so much. 

Have a lovely weekend!

Sweet and Sassy Girly Shopping Double Page Layout

It has been awhile since I've written a post. I actually have a lot of pages to post but haven't photographed them. I've also been traveling a ton. I'm trying to finish this during my lunch break. This girly layout was created using the Teresa Collins Posh Collection. I love my Paris shopping photos! Here's a peek at the whole layout: 

Here's page 1: 

 Here's a close up of page 2: 

 I love the sparkly chipboard title: 

 I adore the rhinestone and fishnet brads: 

 The Eiffel tower is perfect!

I love those vintage girly silhouettes: 

 Black lace. Lovely!

Hope you enjoyed this layout!

Pretty Peacock Scrapbook Layout: Close To My Heart Magnifique

I usually only make double-page layouts, with the exception of a last page in an album. I'm still scrapbooking my India photos, which it turns out will be a series of albums rather than just one. Haha. A little excessive? Maybe! But these are my memories...right? 

I love those little glass beads: 

I cut the letters in silver paper on my Cricut.

Foothills of the Himalayas: Double Page Layout

This is one of the layouts that I completed over the weekend. Here is a look at the whole layout. I love the quote: "The wise man travels to discover himself." I wanted this layout to have a simple, natural and clean look. 

I used some of my scrap paper to add colored circles, cut from a circle punch to the layout. The beautiful tree was cut from the Cricut Heritage cartridge: 

I scrap lifted the idea for the tree from an ad that I saw in an ad in ScrapbooksEtc. magazine: 

Here's a look at the second page, pretty simple but classic: 

As I'm posting this, I realized that I forgot to add an important element that I place on all of my personal scrapbooks--the year! Here are a few rules that I use: first, unless the page is at the front or back of the album, all of my personal scrapbooks are filled with double page layouts. Second, I always place the year that the pictures were taken on the page. Finally, I sign and date each layout with the year that I scrapbooked the page next to my name. This way I can track my work and see how my style changes overtime. :) 

Look Hoo Turned 2!

This project was created entirely using Cricut shapes. I made it for a contest Provo Craft was sponsoring and my little layout made it on national t.v. :) Even though I don't have kiddos of my own, it was fun doing a child theme for the birthday layout contest.

Here you can see a short clip of Jinger Adams showing the layout on HSN (I found this on Okieladybug's Scrap N' More.)

Love,
