Celebrate using Fancy Pants Country Boutique Wedding

Hi Happy N Scrappin' friends! Sorry you haven't seen much of me recently, but I've been creating and just working on various projects! We are preparing for the holiday's around here so things are starting to pick up both at work and home. What about you? Are you already getting set up for the holidays? 

Today I have a card to share that I made using Fancy Pants Country Boutique Wedding Kit. 

Since this is a wedding themed kit, I thought I would make a card that could be used for a wedding, or wedding shower. It is in the classic black & white, but has some bling as well. 


Distress Stain in Vintage Photo was used on all the edges of my papers to emphasize them. 

Thanks a bunch for stopping by! I will see you next week with another project featuring this wonderful collection!

Fancy Pants Winterland LO

Happy Tuesday Happy N Scrappin' fans,
Gaby here with a layout using Fancy Pants Winterland Collection

This is my cousin Brittany and her daughter Aubrey.  Yesterday she shared on Facebook these pictures and thought they were perfect for the Fancy Pants Winterland Collection (I have not seen snow this year).
My pictures are not too clear since she shared at a low quality on FB and I downloaded them from there...

I cut a chevron (one of the trends right now right along hexagons and the coming triangles) to match Aubrey's jacket, and die cut the snowflake, journal cards/notes and heart border (hearts are also seen on Aubrey's jacket).

I also wanted to share a bit about Project Life.  If you have been thinking about it and cannot get the items or want to save money, You can get items to get you started over at the [STORE ]
 I am using the Basic Grey album and some protectors from the store are well.  In addition, if you did not know you can use 3x4" cards as journal or spacer cards.  Most Fancy Pants and other collections come with a sheet of journal cards that you can cut and use just like I used here:
 Above you can see that to match my layout previously shared HERE, I used some of the included cards on the FP Love Story collection, while others I just "decorated" with scraps or cut from left over PP.

SUPPLIES:  (just click on picture for link to the STORE)


Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment!

Be Mine LO | Fancy Pants Love Story

Gaby here wishing you a
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Today I am sharing a layout that I created using the left over pieces from the Fancy Pants Love Story Layout Kit that you can find over at the STORE





All I added was a punched butterfly and some twine (not in kit)
Each kit includes 2 single page layouts and 1 two page spread. These kits include easy to follow instructions and extra product for use on other projects.

Here is layout #3 or the two page spread:
...one this layout I changed the position and added a few embellishments created with my cutting machine.

This is layout #1
...on this layout instead of placing pictures as suggested I made it into a pocket layout by stitching around so that my grand daughter can add her Valentine's cards she will be receiving today... and it will be looking something like this:
And finally layout #2
--------





Hope you have a wonderful day today with  your loved ones!  ~Gaby

Fancy Pants Love Story | Layout/Pocket

Happy Tuesday Happy N Scrappin' fans!
Gaby here with the last of the three layouts from the
Fancy Pants Love Story Layout Kit

Instead of adding two pictures like suggested, I converted this layout into a pocket layout so that my grand daughter can keep her Valentine's cards and tags she will be getting at school.
I added some of the cards I have created for display purposes.  Notice that I stitched across the bottom of the argyle pattern so that the cards won't slide all the way down and can be seen when inserted in the layout protector.
This is a closeup of the heart.  In your kit you get a heart pattern so that you can trace and cut your own heart (I used a die).  Additionally it suggests that you create a quilt pattern with the scraps (you have plenty left over).  For my quilt pattern I used a die I have, but you can just cut random squares or use a cutting machine if you have one.
The heart is also a small pocket to keep smaller cards or tags.

Here is a look at the layout without cards... Remember, you can use pictures instead as suggested on your kit.

Reading Christmas Morning LO using FP Winterland

Today I created a layout using Fancy Pants Winterland collection
that you can find at the STORE of my Lauren reading Christmas morning.
~Music to my (librarian) ears!

I "borrowed" the layout from a Basic Grey/Sizzix kit guessing measurements and adding and taking away some elements.
I added some wild (and crazy) machine stitching with brown thread. I additionally added some tin buttons using the collections paper that I created myself.  The title was created using letter included in your collection.



Thanks for stopping by! Soon we will be sharing some new items found at CHA!!

Have a wonderful day!  ~Gaby

Layout | Fancy Pants Love Story

Hi again! Today I am sharing a two page layout that I created for Happy N Scrappin'

The Fancy Pants Love Story has the perfect color combination for my picture. I just really love when my paper and pictures match.  Okay, so there is no green on the PP, that  is why I tried to cover Jasmine's green shirt with the title, this way the focal point is not there.
This is layout #3 included on your Fancy Pants layout kit. If you noticed, I flipped the design to accomodate my picture. Remember that you receive everything you need to create 2 one page layout and 1 two page layout. You are not litimed to follow the instructions included, you can change, add or take away to suit your taste.  But, if you decided to follow the instructions included, you end up with a beautiful layout!

 All designs/cuts were cut with my cutting machine -- the notebook edge was created with a punch.
Added some twine and machine stitching

Button is included in your layout kit.

I used one of the journal cards included on your kit to print my entry using Photoshop Elements. Added a Tim Holtz mini paper clip, and a label from Mr. Tim Holtz again to enter the date. (see top right side of LO).

Supplies:
Fancy Pants Layout Kit
Tim Holtz mini paper clips
Tim Holtz labels- District Market Vial Labels



Gaby here wishing you a super week!
