July Layouts

2 double months in a row!

My Close To My Heart scrapbooking group might be getting frustrated with me...

Layout #1:


We used the Magical Paper Packet, the Magical Sequins, and some ancient long-retired chipboard stars colored to match with alcohol markers.

I love the title:


I got the idea from a Jamberry wrap I wore for the 4th of July!

Hooray for circle cutters:


Layout #2:


We used the Florence Paper Packet, the Florence Compliments, the Florence Sequins, and the Rose Gold Foil Tape.

A perfect title just happened to come on the sticker sheet:


SO convenient!

I love any flourish stamp, and this one is no exception:


This layout did not want to photograph... everything is much brighter and rose-gold shiny:


Sorry it took so long to post Valerie and George!

Happy scrappin'!

Here is my sample:


This is so different from my "normal" style! I LOVED it!!!

Using Kiwi Lane Mini Borders on 12x12 layouts really helps draw your attention right to the photos:


Ok, I admittedly derailed from the sketch on the right page... but I was having too much fun cutting up my swirls and splats:


The background is really not as boring as it looks! Promise!!! See:


It's embossed and shiny!

This one was FUN to make!

MWM Orchid #10

Stupid Bronchitis!!!

I am getting NOTHING done!

I forced myself to finish just this one little layout because tomorrow is my birthday and I need to do JUST ONE THING fun while I'm coughing my lungs out...

Anyway, here is Scrapbook Steals' Mid Week Mojo Orchid #10 sketch:


And here is my of course 2-page version:


Darn Out On A Limb had a sale again, so I just had to make the layout work around my new ice cream cut-outs:


The title didn't stand a chance against my super busy background! I added strips of white paper lined in pink pen and then attacked the letters with my sparkle ink:


MUCH better!!!

Here's to another fun filled night of cough attacks!

KL July Card Sketch

Wow.

It's JULY?!

Whew!

Here is Kiwi Lane's FREE printable/sketch for this crazy month:


And here is my sample card:


You know, normally I'm not a huge yellow gold fan... My Dad is a jeweler so I've always had options! I always choose white gold/silver when it's on my skin. But for some reason I am LOVING the shiny gold trend for scrapbooking:


Remember vellum?! LOVE the polka dots!!!

I like that I can go anyway I want with Kiwi Lane's printable sentiment:


Skiwampus and a little crazy in this case!
