The Scrapbook Store | Think & Wonder...

Think & Wonder, Wonder & Think.... I love this simple quote by Dr Seuss.  And it sums up my little guy perfectly at the moment.  He is ultra curious about all things and I get approximately (give or take 1 or 2) a gazillion questions a day! *grin*

I've had this photo in my stash since December last year. His curiosity has me watching him closely all. the. time!  LOL!!  I have finally scrapped it using my June DT Kit from The Scrapbook Store.

 

"Think and Wonder"

 

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Echo Park Bundle of Joy; Alpha - Echo Park Bundle of Joy; other - MME enamel dots, zva creative flourish bling; tools - type writer, silhouette portrait.

 

I have tried a different approach to my scrapping this time around.  A little less white space and a little more block work.  I have also used my silhouette portrait to create plenty of negative space.

 

It was a challenge to use these beautiful baby boy patterned papers in a more neutral themed layout but I am happy with the end result.  Head on over to The Scrapbook Store if you would like to see the girls version of these papers!  They are very sweet!!

The Scrapbook Store | Hello Study...

Hi Friends!  Today I am sharing with you a layout created with my DT kit from The Scrapbook Store.  This month I get to play with the gorgeous My Mind's Eye - My Girl collection.

 

"Hello Study"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft (egg shell); pp - MME - My Girl; alpha - American Crafts (Amy Tan) thickers; other - October Afternoon sprinklers (token), MME felt stickers, MME decorative buttons, Bo Bunny jewels, homemade silk flower; tools - machine stitching, black pen (sharpie), foam tape.

The chevron patterned paper is just divine!!  I love the soft greys mixed in with the vibrant yellow tones.  Here I have cut small triangles from it, layered them together and then machine stitched them to the cardstock.  I've also distressed the triangles to create some texture  on my page. 

The felt stickers and decorative buttons were clustered together down the length of my page to help move the eye over the layout.  The "hello" speech bubble was mounted onto foam tape for the same reason.

This collection is fast becoming a favourite of mine and will suit all types of girly pages.  I can't wait to share some more projects with it.  *grin* Thanks so much for visiting..x

 

Chevron clouds...

Hello Friends.  I am back today with the promised quick tutorial on how I made my chevron stamped cloud.  It was simple really and all I had to do was dig through my clear stamp collections until I found patterns that I liked. :)

Here is what I used...

The cloud image is small enough to be layered straight on top of the chevron umbrella top.  When layered in the same colour, it was easy enough to just cut around the outside edges of the cloud which left me with the remains of a chevron patterned cloud!  easy peasy. 

Sometimes it helps to look at your supplies in a different manner.  :)  A simple idea, yes I know.  But it has added a little somethin' to my layout.  lol!
