My Happy// 12x12 Scrapbook Layout

Hello scrappy ladies!  Please tell me I'm not the only one who hoards pretty paper for years.  lol.  I absolutely love this paper for the Flourish collection by Maggie Holmes.  And I was needing a layout that would still show off a majority of the gorgeous flowers.  I managed it, and created a thick frame with it.

I gutted the paper and left a 2.5 inch frame with it on white card stock.  With the remainder, I fussy cut out a few of the large pink flowers for embellishments.

With these flowers I clustered them in opposite corners of the frame and placed my photo of me and Valentina in the middle.

For added interest I added gold foiled elements from the Sunny Days collection by Maggie Holmes and gold dotted washi tape.

My title is from a Vicki Boutin Thicker pack 'My Happy' in thick gold chunky glitter.  This layout came together rather easily and I hope you give a try for your album.  My process video in linked below.  Thank you for stopping by.

Love You// Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

Hello Scrappin Ladies!  I simply love how this layout turned out.  It was a labor of love to fussy cut all the flowers from one patterned paper, but I wanted them all bunched together.  I used two patterned papers from the Maggie Holmes Willow Lane collection for this layout.  

I cut up a the stripes up to arrange all along the bottom of the page to anchor the layout.  I was torn between two photos, I went with this photo of Zoe and Valentina together because it was a horizontal orientation.

Once I had my basic layout set, I could have left the white card stock alone and it would have been a beautiful layout.  But, you know me and my love for mixed media and playing with my art supplies... so that is what i did.  

I did the 'packaging' technique with Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry and Marigold.  The pink and orange color compliment the flowers and the details in the stripes.

The title and dimensional stickers all came from the coordinating thicker pack for Willow Lane.  

I then added a few of the gold embossed floral elements from the Maggie Holmes Sunny Days collection.

This layout is feminine and floral and I love my two girls in the photo.  My process video is linked below for your viewing pleasure.  Thanks for stopping by.

The Sweet Life// Maggie Holmes Sunny Days

OMG ladies!  This layout has got to be one of my most recent favorites this year.  I love all my layouts but I simply love how this one turned out.  It was a labor of love to fussy cut out all the sea shells from a patterned paper from the Sunny Days collection by Maggie Holmes.  

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out two large circles from the sand beach and water beach patterned paper.  I wanted to use both and cutting circles out worked perfectly.

Once the circles were placed, I started arranging all the sea shells around to form a wreath.

Chip board elements were added around the wreath to add texture and dimension.  

The photo I am scrapping is of me during my pregnancy with Valentina.  My sister took it while we walked along the beach.

I then added teal, pink and coral sequin around the wreath and some aqua thread behind the photo.  There are lovely little elements sprinkled throughout the layout.  I just love how this layout turned out.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I have linked my process video below for your viewing pleasure.

Better Together// MH Sunny Days collections

Hello scrappy ladies!  I have a pink monochromatic layout for today using the Maggie Holmes Sunny Days collection.  I picked this collection on Blitsy.com.  I fussy cut all the pink peonies out of one single patterned paper found in the pad.  I love fussy cutting at night once Valentina goes to bed.  I can watch other YouTube videos whiles I do this part.  

The light pink background paper and the flourish pink boarder paper are all from the Sunny Days collections too.  Pink is one of my favorite colors anyways.  

I am scrapping two fun photos taken with Snapchat filters on our faces while at the office.  Valentina never wants to smile for selfies.  lol.  When I started playing with the arrangement of the flowers, I had them horizontal, then in a diagonal, then in a wreath, I finally settled on two vertical columns.  It gave a space for the photos to be. 

I popped one photo on pop dots and the other tucked underneath.  I added two pink dollies for added interest to the background.  And no layout is complete without some gold elements.  The butterfly and hearts are from the embossed gold sheet from the Sunny Days collection from Maggie Holmes.

Thank you for stopping by, my process video is below for your viewing pleasure.

Best Friends// Sunny Days by Maggie Holmes

Hello scrappin ladies!  I have a simple scrap lift from a fellow crafter.  It was the first layout I saw using the Sunny Days collection by Maggie Holmes and I definitely wanted to re create it for my album with a photo of Miguel and I.

I started out with fussy cutting out the beautiful florals in two patterned papers and the bright blue butterflies from another.

There are two main clusters in this layout, one around the photo and one in the right lower corner to balance out the layout. I pulled some pieces from my stash, like the dollie, vellum gold flowers and acetate leaves.

Once my clusters were adhered, its time to start adding the bling/sequins to the layout. I love adding a little more sparkle to my layouts. The gold glitter sequins and hexagons are from Hexa Glam. While the opal pinks are from Dragon's Tale.

The black and white bow is from an older Maggie Holmes collection and the heart charm is from Pick me Up by Paige Evans. I tied it off with some embroidery thread.

Till next layout, keep scrapping!

Evi
