A Baby and a Pair of Glasses

Hi all!  I'm back with another layout.  This one featuring my precious niece, Ellie.  :)

Glasses

Backstory:  My sister (Ellie's mom) wears glasses.  Somehow, Elle got a hold of them and was attempting to put them on.  She couldn't quite get it figured out.

Okay, so there's all kinds of stuff going on in this layout.  I created this little Chevron type design using an alternating mixture of washis and strips of patterned paper.  I did some machine stitching right through the center. 

Meanwhile, I found these little red epoxy stickers I'd had for years and years, so started out using them all over the page for a kind of confetti effect. Weeeelllllll....it looked like I had blood spatters all over the page, so that just wouldn't do! I went back and covered them up (at least partially) with some legitimate confetti. Much better!

Supplies:  patterned paper - Studio Calico, Crate Paper, Bella Boulevard, Lily Bee Designs; stickers - Crate Paper; letter stickers - American Crafts; buttons - Basic Grey; twine - Divine Twine; flag - Elle's Studio; punch - Jenni Bowlin (Fiskars); washi tape - Bazzill, Cosmo Cricket, Amy Tangerine (American Crafts); other - epoxy stickers, confetti

Thanks for reading!!

Lisa Antics

For my returning readers:  I told you I take TONS of pictures and I tend to scrap them ALL!  So, today, another layout about the hostel Lisa and I stayed at in London!  lol

Lisa Antics: Up to Her Old Tricks

Lisa is so super silly and fun, which is just one of the many things I love about her. So, I thought I would document that using these photos of her hamming it up in our room.

I used more of the Amy Tan Sketchbook line for this layout, since the colors work so well with my photos here.

I used some of these really cool glitter brads from American Crafts to create sort of a confetti effect and threw in a lone "vintage" brad from The Rusty Pickle (I'm pretty sure they are no longer in business) that I had floating around in my stash.

Supplies: patterned paper - Amy Tangerine (American Crafts); washi tape - MT tapes, Bazzill, Amy Tangerine (American Crafts); button, cardstock - American Crafts; twine - Divine Twine; brads - American Crafts, The Rusty Pickle; letter stickers - October Afternoon, American Crafts
