Beautiful 12x12 Layout

 

Where should I begin with this wonderful layout that I created for my daughter?  To start with I have to say WOW!  I am loving the paper from LemonCraft Heart Painted collection!  Their papers are absolutely gorgeous!  I have lots of layers and fun elements on this layout so I'll get on with explaining everything that I've done.

 

 

So, like I said I used LemonCraft paper and this specific paper is called Gladness.  I wanted a little more pink to the page so I sprayed it with LSG Salt Water Taffy, Chateau Rose, and Clam Bake Beige.  I inked and distressed the edges. 

 

Once it was dried I used the mini "Art Is" stencil from the Crafters Workshop and applied a coat of modeling paste.  I love the way it turned out!!

 

On to all the fun layers...

 

A paper doily that I lightly inked in brown ink was the base to all my layers.  Next, I layered the leafy vine frame from Creative Embellishments.  I embossed it with LSG Orbit Olive Gold powder.  Wow! Can you say gorgeous!!!!  This color is perfect for this chipboard and paper!  A piece of corrugated cardboard was next and then some cards from a cut out sheet from the LemonCrafts House of Roses collection.  I fussy cut some flowers and layered them in.  Some pink rosette trim and lace were added too.

 

 

For my title I used Beautiful from the "Girl Word Set" from Creative Embellishments and embossed it with LSG Chateau Rose powder.

 

 

I created a cluster of flowers on top of the vines chipboard with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.  I didn't have green flowers so I used Prima Color Bloom Spray in Lime Wedge, LSG Ponderosa Pines Olive, and Sea Grass Green to color some white flowers.     

 

 

I forgot to mention that within my layers I tucked pieces of cheesecloth.  I also added a flair from the LemonCraft collection in the upper corner. 

 

The butterflies were fussy cut from the same cutout sheet as the cards.  I added some stickles and liquid pearls to them.

 

 

To finish the page I scattered a few butterflies across the page and dry brushed gesso across my flowers and layers.  I toped off the flowers with a little stickles. 

 

Thanks for looking~Melissa

 

 

 

A Deployment Wish...

Today, I'm sharing a 12x12 layout I created for a photo that I've been holding onto for a few years now. I have a photo of my daughter who was 2 years old at the time making a wish on a dandelion during my husband's year long deployment.  What she had wished for broke my heart! She wished for her daddy to come home. :( Knowing we were only a couple weeks into the year long deployment I knew right then and there this deployment was going to have a bigger impact on her then what I had anticipated.  Anyways, when I saw the "Wishflowers 2014" from Scrappydew Creations I knew this was exactly how I wanted to document that moment.  

 

 

The little girl measures 6" and I duplicated the dandelions and added them to the top of the layout.  I inked everything in either gray or white ink. The dandelions were inked in gray ink and then painted with Diamond Stickles.  I love how they turned out! The photo corners and tag came from the silhouette store.

 

Other products used: Echo Park Mini Themes Yellow Submarine Collection Kit.  Iroc gems on the shoes.  We R memory Keepers Bakers Twine. 

Today I'm sharing a 12x12 layout I made using a few files. The Fairy is part of the new Fairy Expansion pack from Scrap Factory. The mushrooms and butterflies are all from Scrappydew Creations Garden Gnomes and Butterflies files.

 

 

 

How Time Flies Layout

Good morning! Today I'm sharing with you a beautiful 12x12 layout I made using the awesome Butterflies file from Scrappydew Creations. I absolutely love this file because there are 2 different styles of butterflies and the possibilities are endless!

 

 

The Vintage Hanging Clock and Clock Hands were from the silhouette store. The flowers were created using both my cricut and silhouette.
