Smitten - Paper Camellia

If you remember my comments on my last layout for Paper Camellia, I mentioned that I am surrounded by boy stuff.  So, I took this opportunity to create a layout of my pup, Flo and to use up some of the amazing pink and gold included in this months Main Scrapbooking Kit and Add-on.  

Stop over to Paper Camellia to see the details of the kit and close ups of my layout.  

SHOOT - Paper Camellia

Good morning!

We have survived our Disney trip and I am back at creating again. 

 Hope you like my next project.

It shows you what happens around my house on a continuous basis.  I feel I am surrounded by boys and boy stuff.  Thank goodness I have a pretty girl pup!  I sometimes feel out numbered!  I am not a fan of the  target on my door but after a couple years of it being there, I don't see it anymore! For my layout, I knew I wanted a large title.  So, I started with that.  Decided next on the woodgrain background because there were so many complimentary colors in my photo.  Again, I changed the color of the gold Thickers with some black spray paint.  Tone on tone journaling helps keep the focus on the photo and title.  

Closeups of my layout can be found over at Paper Camellia.

Oh yeah, there is an awesome sketch over on the blog too.  I stayed pretty close to the original here.  Usually I like to change it up, but not this time.  

I'll be sharing Disney photos soon.  Check back.

Hello Cutie - Paper Camellia

It is reveal day over at Paper Camellia.

  It is the best time of month if you are a member (or a designer!)  It is always fun to see the unique way the papers and products from various manufacturers, are brought together to create a kit that is versatile and beautiful.  

Last summer, Roman's Grampy and Nana came all the way from Florida to spend time in the New England sun.  It was much chillier for then than what they are used to.  Here is one of the cute pics I caught of my boy and his grandparents.

The beautiful blue polka dot paper is actually silver dots.  It is stunning and is from Rise & Shine from Amy Tangerine.  As stunning as it is, the sticker words that  came with the kit were gold.  Well, the only solution I had for this layout was to dig out some of my silver spray paint to fix this problem!

This is what they looked like before I got ahold of them!

Add a little paint and voila!  

I love these labels from Fancy Pants Office Suite Collection.  Clumping them together may just be my favorite thing!

The "hello" and "cutie" are raw wood veneer pieces from Elle's Studio Cienna collection.  A little paint on them also helped bring the entire project together.  

Well, that and drips of the silver paint!

I hope that you like my project.  If you love what you see for kit embellishments, head on over to Paper Camellia to sign up and we can do this together!

You're Just Plain Cute! - The Cut Shoppe

Would love for you to stop over to The Cut Shoppe, where this layout if being featured today.  I have been digging back through old photos and realized I missed a bunch.

Have a great day.
