Strike A Pose | MME's Miss Caroline

Today I have a two page layout that I created using
the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody Collection

I had lots of fun creating this layout --

I was able to use the cute brads, twine and embellishments included in this girly collection!
For this tag I used a SEI tag just by changing the cord to MME's twine.

This tag I had in my collection but you can find Tim Holtz tags at the STORE.
The journal card is from the Project Life collection I already had in my studio.
I added a sticker from the MME's collection and a Tim Holtz mini paper clip.

A closer look at the tag and twine (notice how I created the kite's tail with the MME's twine).

Here a closer look at the kite using the PP included in the MME's collection, some twine and an embellishment also from the collection.

Finished it up with some stitching (if you do not have a sewing machine remember that we have Sew Easy by We R Memory Keepers at the [STORE HERE]

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

Trimming the tree 2 page layout

Today I am sharing a two page layout using Fancy Pants St. Nick Layout Kit

With this kit, you get everything you need to create two 1 page layouts and one 2 page layout and have enough left over to create additional items.

This is the 2 page layout- ..or layout 3 on the included instructions.

I pretty much followed the instructions for the basic layout, but changed the embellishing part a bit and the setting of two of my pictures.

Instructions included but will condense a bit and will share what I changed:

1- Two Stockings papers for base.
2- Cut 4 strips 1"x12" from the Tinsel paper, red side up
3- Cut Gleaming paper in half.  Adhere to each of your base papers 3" from top (or from bottom) across.
4- Adhere the 4 strips of red Tinsel paper above and below your Gleaming paper.
5- Trim the "jolly old st. nicholas" strip from the top of the Strips paper.
6- Trim around the striped bracket from Strips paper (include the "happy holidays scallop")
7- Adhere above striped bracket (step 6) and "jolly...." (step 5) to left edge of the left page vertically.
8-  I skipped this step because I did not use mats for my pictures (cut 2 4"x6" from the Strips paper, green side up).
9- I skipped this step (Ties a piece of woven ribbon around the 4" end of one of these mats.)
10- Instead of adhering pictures horizontally on the left page, I adhered vertically.
From here on I changed the placement of the embellishments.... you can do that too!  I wanted to personalize it a bit more.  You can see from the pictures that I added different embellishments, more buttons and floss.

You can do this so easily because you get enough supplies to make it your own!

Hope you create your own!

TIP: instead of adding mat, I sanded around my pictures to give them that matted softer look with my Tim Holz sander that you can find over at the [STORE]

Here I shared Layout #2 included on your kit  (click link for instructions)

Two Page LO using Doodlebug's Santa's Workshop

Happy Tuesday!  Gaby here with a layout using the oh so fun and playful
Doodlebug Santa's Workshop Collection

It is super cute and fun!
Here is a picture of the two page layout I created--

Here with a bit too much light but more true to its colors.  The first picture is a bit darker but you can appreciate the glitter on all the embellishment from this cute collection!

 All PP, tags, brads, letters and embellishments are from the collection! The only thing I added was two pieces of white cardstock and a bit of machine stitching.

The pictures I had them develop at Costco for under $3... I used Picasa, a free photo software from Google, to arrange both pictures on a square and I had them printed on a 12"x12". I just cut down the middle to get to 12" w x 6" h   I am really liking the linear look of this layout with a large picture across.
