It's your world layout!

Way late on posting this, sorry!

I love this picture of my son Ory! It is even better in color! His eyes are amazing. I am really happy with how this layout turned out. I had been playing with it off and on for about a week.

I got this neat idea of using the stamp that came in the Little Black Dress kit from Glitz and make a flower out of it. I wasn't sure how it would end up turning out, but I think it turned out really neat! I cut out the images that I stamped on the Vintage Red Bookprint paper from Jenni Bowlin. Then I pinched the bottom part together to make it look like a petal and curled the ends. I glued all the pieces together with my Helmar 450 adhesive. Also glued one of the buttons that came in the kit for the center.

I made another flower out of one of the trims from the kit. The center of the sun beams is an epoxy sticker from Melody Ross from the kit. I love how the letter came out using the cardboard from the kit. I cut the letters out of the backing from the Prima packaging first from my Cricut. I then traced the letters onto the cardboard and cut those out by hand. I also used my Glimmer mist on some of the sun beams.

Hope you have a great night!

Me Layout

I decided to do a page about me. I have very few of these pages -it is always the kids or hubby. I think most scrapbookers fall into this trap.

I started out with the 7 Gypsies Coloma paper (I used the B side). After I had used my punchinella on my other layout (painted with it) I used it on this page.

In this close-up it shows a technique that I used the Cuttlebug for. I used leftover plastic packaging from some Jenni Bowlin Chipboard buttons. I used my new Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fades Embossing folder and ran the plastic through the Cuttlebug. It makes such a fabulous emboss on the plastic. I wanted it to pop more so I painted the back with purple paint and then wiped some of the paint off. It left just the right amount of paint! So don't throw away your leftover packaging, you never know what you might be able to do with it and you are up-cycling!

I loved the 7 Gypsies wax seal! I melted the wax onto the center of the flower and then pressed the seal into the wax. Before I pressed the seal in the wax though I inked it with black ink which makes it stand out more. I love how it looks. I used flowers that I bought at Walmart a few years ago. The colors worked perfectly with this layout. I used Helmar 450 to glue the flowers together and glue the button onto the flower. I also used it for gluing the purple dots trim to the red lace. If you have not tried Helmar 450, you simply must! It is fabulous!!!!!!!!

I used my border punch for the top corner piece. Hope you enjoyed! Go try embossing plastic for your next layout! It rocks!

I can finally show you the new Jenni Bowlin Studio CHA- summer release. This new release is named Family Tree. A while back I came into the office first thing in the morning and the proofs were sitting on the table. I literally gasp and ohhhhhed when I saw these. I LOVE this line.
