Hello Sunshine

Hi there!  Last week I went to a crop with my good friend Suzy West.  While we were there she gave me this fun photo of us to work with.  She used a couple of apps (phonto and frame) to get the fun text and multiple photos on one picture.  I loved the picture and decided it needed a fun and spunky layout to go with it.  Recently I was sent these awesome washi tapes and tags to play with from Downtown Tape.  I thought it would be fun to combine them all on 1 layout.  So this is what I came up with at the crop.  Kind of silly and fun but I am loving how it turned out.

Hello Sunshine Layout

I am in love with the gold washi tape! I took a few pieces of it and punched it with a star punch. I also took a thin strand of it and wrapped it around a paper straw (in case you hadn't noticed I have had an infatuation with paper straws lately).

I threw in a few pieces from the Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm collection and a sticker from the Yes, Please collection. And some stitching, sequins and gold spray mist.

supplies:
Downtown Tape: Canary Island Coast, Sizzle in Sedona, Glitter in Los Angeles
American Crafts: Dear Lizzy: Lucky Charm Flair, Dear Lizzy: Lucky Charm Lucky Coin paper; Amy Tangerine: Yes Please Stitched Vellum Shapes

Hello Puppy Love and good friends

 Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday!  Last week I traveled down to Scrapbook Territory in Berkeley to meet up with some of my awesome friends and get some scrapping done. 

We had a fun time hanging out, getting some photos taken and I actually got some work done.


While I was in the store I picked up the fun new stitching templates from Amy Tan's Yes, Please collection.  Here is a layout that I made using them.  So fun!
