Happy Friday - Layout Share Recap

 

Happy Friday everyone, I guess I screwed up my video scheduling just a little last week 🤣 can you tell it has been crazy to say the least. For those of you who might have missed my post, let’s catch up with it. Here is a quick summary of layouts I made for different occasions, but all of them have one thing in common, to use lot’s of photos. It is not a process video but a share of ideas. Thanks for watching and leave me a comment which one is your favorite layout.

April 2024 Card Project 3 - Butterfly Wishes

 

Who doesn’t like butterflies right? The Close to My Heart Honey Bunny design paper has these beautiful pastel colors that remind you of spring and I had to combine them with some butterflies to get ready for spring. Have a look how you can create a fun card front by using just a few stripes of paper and some cute little butterflies.

April 2024 Card Project 2 - Sympathy Card

 

Today’s card is a simple but very pretty sympathy card. The stamp sets I used for this card are retired but still a staple in my stash. See how a little fun fold can transform a simple card into something special.

How to create more scrapbooking layouts with a Close To My Heart Workshop Kit

 

Do you remember a paper pack from way back called “Tutti Frutti”? I know, it’s been awhile, LOL. I was preparing my things from an upcoming crop event and stumbled over the scrapbooking workshop kit for this set. Now while I could have just created the 3 layouts as intended, I figured I challenge myself to see how far I can get with this set and just a few extra sheets of cardstock. I added 4 white, 2 capri and 1 pansy to the mix. I used up the entire sticker sheet and ended up stamping a couple images for the last layout to embellish. 

I created a total of 5 double page layouts and I still have some papers left to make one more …. Oh and almost an entire package of the little shaker elements seen sprinkled over the pages and in the shaker element. 

How would be interested to see a video or two about changing an entire workshop into more than just the 3 double page layouts it calls for? Comment below and let me know.💕
