My Heart is So Happy...

The other day my sweet friend Suzy West did a photo shoot of our girls. Every time that she comes to visit, we usually do a couple of photo shoots of our girls together. I loved the way these photos came out and I loved even more the way the red flower just pops. I thought it would be fun to create a layout with our new photos using some scraps I had on hand from Pebbles Inc.

My Heart is So Happy Layout

I pulled in different papers and embellishments from some of my favorite Pebbles lines. I used a combination of Seen and Noted,
Walnut Grove, Love you More and Sunnyside. I love that Pebbles lines coordinate so beautifully together.

I had a lot of fun with using color on this layout. I backed it with American Crafts cardstock and used a bold red (something I hardly do and was afraid to do) to frame my page. I love the look, the red cardstock makes the red flower that the girls are holding just pop, and it such a great use of color.

I kept the embellishments simple because I already had so many colors and patterns going on, I just cut some simple hearts using my Silhouette Cameo and grouped them in the left corner of the page.

Supplies:
Pebbles Inc.: Seen and Noted collection, Walnut Grove collection, Love you more collection, Sunnyside collection

Maya road smile banner...

Hi friends,

I hope that your Monday is off to a great start. Mine sure is, I got the kids off to school, made it to the gym and got our grocery shopping all before 9am. Now I have the rest of the day to play in my scrap room, yay!

I have a fun project to share with you today. This week Epiphany Crafts has teamed up with Maya Road to bring you some amazing projects on their blog.

I am up today and I created a fun little banner for my scrap room


Smile Banner by Gina Lideros

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:
Epiphany Crafts: scallop 25 shape studio tool, round 25 shape studio tool, round 14 shape studio tool, scallop 25 shape bubblecaps

Maya Road: canvas banner pieces (from canvas banner album), wooden bird pieces, craft doilies, buttons
Pebbles: pattern papers, smile sticker, smile clothespins (Sunnyside collection)
Studio Calico: Mister Huey’s spray mist (mint julep)
adhesive: Beacon’s 3-in-1 quick dry glue
Brother: sewing machine
Guterman: thread

To create my banner, I first sprayed some Maya Road canvas banner pieces with spray mist:

Then I used my Epiphany Crafts scallop 25 shape studio tool, to make scallop epoxies and adhered them to my banner along with Maya Road craft doilies and Maya Road buttons.

Next, I used liquid glue to adhere Maya road wooden bird pieces.

Lastly, I punched some pieces of pattern paper using my Epiphany Crafts scallop 25 shape studio tool, round 25 shape studio tool, and round 14 shape studio tool.

Then I sewed them together in a long chain to make a stitched banner to hang from the top of my canvas banner. I then attached them with wooden clothespins.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a fabulous Monday!
