Happy Together

Hi there,

I have a layout to share that was submitted at Colorful Creations for The "E" + 2 Challenge (enov).  You can see the challenge here.

This is the layout to "LIFT" two embellies or elements from (and state what you "lifted"... Plus add word(s) on banner.

Here's my layout titled, "Happy Together."

I took this pic of us while we were 4-wheeling a couple of months ago.  Fun times!

Rub on words were added on the banners.

I lifted more than two elements:  Bling, Flower(s), misting.

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok, Other

Ribbon

Flowers

Rub on Words

Vellum Quote

Swirly Bling: Home Made

Gems: Home Made

Walnut Ink Mist

Cardstock Word

Sketch: Page Maps

The ribbon was too wide, so I cut it in half and also cut a smaller strip to make the bow.  Scissors were used to curl the ends of the ribbon!  A couple flowers were added to the right of the photo.

Flowers were added beside the quote and reads:

" My travels let me to where I am today.  Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunities."  - Diana Ross

Home made bling was places in several spots on my page.  The gems in the flower centers are home made also.

The upper portion of my page was misted and a couple of swirls added.

A closer look at the banners and two of them with rub ons.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Max Loves Popcorn!

Hi there,

I have a layout to share with you that was submitted at Sketches 4 All for their November 1st Sketch Challenge (NOVsketch1).  You can see the challenge here.

The sketch:

And here's my layout titled, "Max Loves Popcorn!"

While I was eating popcorn, Max was SO interested and kept trying to jump on my lap... so I gave him one... not really thinking more about it.  BUT... he absolutely LOVED it!  So, we both were eating popcorn!  I just had to hold this one piece in front of him while I took the photo.  Look at that sweet little nose!  He's such a cute little character!

Supplies used:

Paper: Me & My Big Ideas

Stampin' Up! Border Punch

3D Border Sticker

Clear Stickers

Pop Dots

Sticker Letters

Photo Corner Stickers

Tickets

Staples

Circle Punch

Stick Pin

Here's a look at the upper portion of embellies on the left of my page.  The dog tag was matted onto two different pp and then on a larger cardstock circle.  The little bone was adhered onto cardstock, trimmed and added with a pop dot for some dimension.  I wrapped a banner around the stick pin.  Two tickets were staples together.

Just below the tickets I added more clear stickers.

Love these borders!  The 3D bones border was added under the photo.  And the cute little strip of doggie prints that I found in my stash and just had to use on my page!

On the bottom rectangle strip, I adhered a dog with pop dots and added a ball sticker too.

Here's a closer look at the left side of my page.

 

And another look at the dimension.  Part of the page title was added under the photo and the rest of the title was added on the right of the border strips.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
