Newest Layouts

I had some time to actually play this weekend, so

I created 4 new LO's, all of which came together

fairly quickly as I am learning to use companies

that have paper, and stickers and embellies

that all go together. Seems to help me, since

I can get a LO done in an hour instead of

the usual two or three it used to take me.

The above LO was from the dual celebration

we had for Amy and Jordyn's last birthdays.

One of my favorite product lines right now is

Simple Stories, and this is the birthday set.

I am not usually a bright paper kind of girl,

but I did want to have fun with it, so since

I had two of each piece of paper, I used the

second to cut out the extra pieces for the

banners along the top and the word

birthday so I could pop them off the page

with dimensional adhesive.

I once again used the Simple Stories line for this

layout above from Tim's birthday, this line is called

Document, and of all the lines they have put out

this is by far my very favorite. I actually bought

a limited addition kit and it had these wonderful

overlays in it, and I didn't put it completely over

top of the photo of Tim but angled it, I seem

to like this look as I have done it before. I also

used a photo app on my phone to alter the

picture of the cup, to just make it colored and

the rest of it in black and white. The app is

called ColorSplash, and is pretty easy to use.

This LO is pretty much all the Authentique Paper line

of products and it all goes together so well, and

I pretty much had this LO done in under 1/2 an hour.

The photos were taken on Linda's last trip over, and

are all from my Iphone. the bird paper is actually

a mouse pad of paper that I just recently got at

Chapters for 50% off, got to love a sale.

This last LO is done with mostly my new kit from

StampinUp and I love how it all came together so

nicely, and how the black and white main photo

just pops off of it. I also tried a new technique for

me and used the cut out section from my cricuit

instead of the actual letters I cut, it's like a

shadow effect and it says birthday stroll, and

looks more vivid in real life. The thing I like most

about this kit is the stickers are cardboard ones

so stronger and more of a texture then just

simple stickers would be.
