You Are Unique

Today's layout features the Dear Lizzy She's Magic paper collection.  I love how the pink and blue papers from the collection coordinate with the three selfies of my daughter.  
I glued quarter-inch strips of the blue and pink patterned paper as well as the silver glitter paper to the left and right sides of a 12x12 piece of light pink paper.  I glued a 10x12 piece of heart paper to the center of the layout.


I matte the photos on light pink paper and distressed the edges of the paper.  I inked the edges of the paper with Faded Jeans Distress Ink.  I arranged the photos at a slight angle in three of the corners of the layout.  


I used my Cricut machine to cut out a large camera and some hearts in various sizes.  I also die-cut four smaller cameras using the small camera die cut from the Lawn Fawn Shutter Card Add-On die set.  I glued the large camera near the bottom center of the layout.  I created three embellishment clusters using the die-cut hearts and cameras.  I popped up each camera using foam tape.  I placed these on one corner of each of the three photos.  For two of the clusters, I added a blue Thickers chipboard phrase.


For the title, I used some heart nesting dies to cut a large heart from the blue dotted paper and a smaller heart using the pink patterned paper.  I fussy cut a yellow border around the pink heart.  I used a Jane Davenport die set to cut the words "You Are Unique" twice from heavy white cardstock and once from silver glitter cardstock.  I stacked them together to provide dimension to the title.  I centered the title on the pink heart and used foam tape to pop up a small camera near the upper right of the title.


I cut small strips of off-white paper for my journaling.  I inked the edges of each strip using Faded Jeans Distress Ink and glued the strips in between the photos at the top of the layout.  I cut apart a journaling card from the collection and staggered the words "I love you with my whole heart" to the left of the large camera.  I inked the edges of each strip using Faded Jeans Distress Ink.  I popped up each phrase with foam tape and added small hearts to the beginning and end of each strip.


I love the bright colors in this collection.  The vibrant papers really bring out my daughter's fun and amusing personality.

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set.  The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing.  Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder.  I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel.  I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint.  I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder.  I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel.  I added a black matte behind this emboss...

#HAILTHESAIL

Today's layout was inspired by Day 1of @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Series 8.  Today's triangular sketch was created by Laura Whitaker.  The Scraptember challenge for this sketch was stitching.   As soon as I saw the triangle on this layout, I knew I wanted to use a sailboat to document my daughter's new student orientation day at her college by the sea.  I used my Cricut machine to cut a large sailboat out of a piece of blue whitewashed cardstock.  After losing a time-consuming battle with my sewing machine, I was able to get some blue stitches around the edges of the sailboat.  I glued the sailboat to the blue star paper from Vicki Boutin's Color Study collection.   I used the blue and white striped paper from the Color Study collection to create the large banner.  I inked the edges of the banner with Black Soot Distress ink.  I matte the banner with a small strip of the black script paper from the 6x8 paper p...

Pumpkin Picking

Today's fun Halloween card features the Tim Holtz Colorize Pumpkinhead Colorize die set and Distress Mica Stains. I started by spraying a water color panel with Hocus Pocus, Jack-O-Lantern, and Empty Tomb Halloween Distress Mica Stains.  For the moon, I die cut a circle out of water color paper. I ink smooshed Antique Linen and Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Inks onto a craft mat and sprayed them with water.  I pushed the circle into the inks and dabbed off the excess ink and water with a paper towel.  I inked the edges of the moon with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.  I adhered the moon to the water color panel and added a black bat to the top of the moon. Next, I die cut several trees, bats, and fences out of black cardstock.  I also die cut a couple of fences from silver foil cardstock.  I adhered the trees to both sides of the card panel.  I slightly offset the silver foiled fence from the black fence and adhered the fence pieces to the bottom of the...
