A B C's of Love layout

It's Friday and I am back at work after two day of being shut up due to strep! I hate being sick.  Not back to 100% but I have to get back to work!

I have a fun single page layout to share with you today.

The letters are from K&Company as are the papers used along the side.

As I arranged the letters I wanted to hide a message of sorts--so I used pop dots on the I, Love, U so that it stood out .

I used a distressing tool on the paper edges to give the pink and red papers a bit more of an edge.  I like how these papers with the rough edge and a black and white photo will tie together!  The photo could be holding hands, a kiss, the back of to heads a hug in shadow--the possibilities are endless.

So I used the Art Philosophy cartridge and the stamp set I gave away last week for the tickets.  The February ticket was heat embossed with ruby embossing powder and edged in black.  The journal ticket I used my own hand writing  and it says, "26 letter is all I have to tell you how much I love you!"

Leave the comments to ensure you get the best chance to win this weeks stamp giveaway.  Today there were two posts here on ScrapGuy and my post over at Pink By Design and those comments count as well!  Winner will be announced on Sunday along with a guide for the week.

Sophia 2 Page Layout

Happy Weekend!  This was supposed to go live yesterday but I forgot to change the time so that did not happen--it's been so crazy that I would forget a lot of things if I did not have post it notes stuck everywhere! LOL
So today's layout is made using the Sophia Workshop from CTMH--I just love these papers.

I think this one will be perfect to showcase my sister's two girls.

Now for a few detail shots

I clear heat embossed the solid stripe of paper at the bottom and inked everything in sight.  I used a couple of the ribbon flowers that are in the pink ribbon assortment.

Here is my journal spot where I used a few more of those ribbon flowers and I also clear embossed the lines to write on--the focus will be on you note but at least the lines will be straight!

Here you can see where I used some green polka dot ribbon as a photo corner.  I also write the picture size in the middle of the matte so I can add pictures later.

Here is a close up of how the clear embossing really adds to a solid sheet of paper.  Looks similar to the UV printing that is so popular on today's pages.
I did not add a title cause I am still toying with a few.  You could use this layout for a mother/daughter, daughter, Easter, baby shower, birth of a new baby girl, just to name a few!
Hope you enjoyed the layout!

Boarding Passes and Cricut Going Places Layout

Hello Everyone--I have a fun layout using all of my boarding passes from my recent trip and Cricut Going Places Cartridge-



I cut the world in blackout shadow, shadow, and base cut all at 5 1/2" inches. Centered it on the page and inked the edges. I punched the boarding passes with a large tag punch to make them all the same size and shape.

I used solid card stok for most of it--but the base cut was done in a printed paper from Michaels that has a high gloss UV print--I liked how it added texture and shine with out being to strong!


I added a stamp to the lower corner and called it good! I think this is going to be the closing page of the album I am going to do for this trip!



I have another project using this same cut to show on Wednesday!
Thanks for stopping in-
Bryan

Cupcake layout

So this is the layout I did using the cupcake embellishment from yesterday.

The layout if part of a birthday book I am doing for my best friend who is pictured here--needless to say I am running a bit behind since his birthday was in September--LOL

Some of the details-

The background paper is from Recollections and is a rainbow stripe. I cut 5 strips of 30's from Designers Calender for the shiny black layer--I used acid free spray mount to attach these strips which made it super easy to lay it out. The picture frame is from the seasonal mothers day cartridge and the happy birthday present is from Lyrical Letters. Both the frame and the happy birthday were cut using a two color double sided paper. I attached the bow to the happy birthday with a foam square and added a 'stud' accent to the center of the bow. The statement at the bottom of the picture reads "welcome to your 30's-Sept 2009"

Hope you like the lay out and how the cupcake was put to use!

Come back on Thursday to see how I take a card I found while in Asia and use it in a layout for an "all about me" book.
