Beach Bound - Queen & Company

 Hey there.

Just take a look at the new Beach Bound Kit from Queen and Company.  

I love it so much.  I created the layout during a FB live over HERE.  Then I created this card during a different live, HERE.  I have decided that I will NEVER create with Queen again without the Outline Dies.  They made making the shakers so much easier.   Almost every collection is being created with a new matching Solid 6x6 Paper pad.  The one to match the Beach Bound kit is gorgeous.

The Amazing A Team - Queen & Co.

Good morning!

Today I am on the Queen and Company blog. 

Ever pull something together that seems completely different but really works?  I feel I did that on this football layout.  The stars are an obvious choice but the color palette is the question.  If you look closely at my photos, they were taken in the fall of 2017.  So, I wanted to focus on the colorful background of the photos and not necessarily the bright blue of the uniforms.  Using the Happy Harvest Fall Paper pad from Queen and Company, and it helped me do just that.  I pieced together 2 - 6 inch strips of paper with the seams falling behind my photos.  This allowed me to have longer papers.

I then filled some of the Stars Shaped Shakers with Pearls Neutral Toppings and Wood Toppings.  

I pieced together a title for my layout with the Word Dies and some old Thickers I had from long ago.

To emphasize the word amazing, I cut scrap white cardstock several times and carefully layered them on top of each other.  I then finished it with a yellow layer on top.  Making it thicker and almost like it has a shadow effect.  

Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope you are inspired to create with our Shaped Shaker kits and word Dies.

Good morning!
Have you seen the Fright Fest Shaker Card Kit from Queen and Co.?  It is filled with the perfect shakers for cards and for layouts alike.  I knew the exact photos I was going to scrap when I received the coffin in the mail.  

The best way to show off the coffin, and the creepy zombie pictures, was to line them up like many zombies rose from the dead!  I changed the center papers that lined the coffins and created one shaker and stamped another.

For an additional creepy effect, I added spider webs with my own eerie spiders.  Made from Halos and Iridescent Bubbles.  I drew legs with a silver glitter pen.  

Easy Peasy.  So, even thought you may have already sent out your Halloween cards, don't forget to leave the Fright Fest Shaker Card Kit on your craft table, so you can document the fun memories you will be making next week.  

Thanks for stopping in.

Good morning!

I am here today with a fun layout using the Bug Jar and Love Jar kits from Queen & Co.  They were made to coordinate perfectly with each other.  The Love Jar Kit provides the jar and the Bug Jar Kit provides new jar covers, Toppings, and embellishments to match.

I played with the title of my layout and used a full jar of goodness as the 'O' in Love.  

Then I stamped and die cut flies, die cut vellum and layered those together to soften the look of the black bugs.  

I 

I wanted to emphasis flowers on the side of the photo to offset the heaviness of the Jar in the title.  I clumped several different styles together to match the color of my boy Milford and his eyes.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  I encourage you to use your shaker kits on a layout page.

Father's Day - Queen and Company

Morning.  Today I am sharing a layout on the Queen and Company blog.  I used the coolest Say Cheese Shaker kit to create a crossword puzzle.  Q&C has the most amazing bling and scrapbooking supplies.  If you LOVE to add small things or even shakers to your projects, head over to the Q&C website and check out what they have.

Sweet as Candy - Queen and Company

My favorite girl surrounded by candy is just right. 

I used the papers in the Candy Land Kit from Queen and Company to help draw out the colors in the photo.  Flo can not leave her basket alone.  She can't just pull out the one toy she wants.  She empties the entire bucket for the one toy on the bottom.  

Look how adorable the candy jars and candy are from the newest Shaker Kit from Q&C.

Morning!

It is not often that my sister and her husband come down.  But when they do, Roman is hooked to Uncle Mitch's hip.  He laughs so hard that he cries.  I am seriously not sure who is more immature. I swear, that some of the jokes don't even make sense.  

Anyway, I captured this moment of Bub sitting on Uncle Mitch's lap.  He's bigger than his uncle but neither one of them care. 

I used so many Queen and Company products on this layout.  It was super fun and kinda girly cause my sister is the the photo too.  I need to take the chance to use pink any time I can!  lol.  

Head over to the Queen blog, to get the details on what projects I used.  

My poor Boy! - Queen & Company

Morning and welcome to a glorious Sunday morning!
It snowed her last night and the ground is covered in white.  Its beautiful.  But so is lots of color!  Have you seen the What's New section of the website?  Have you seen that the Washi Tape Bundle, normally $19.95 is now $6.95??  Also, the Holiday Binder Bundle gives you LOTS and LOTS of embellishments for a ridiculously low price.  

Like my last layout I did for Queen, I applied lots of Washi to my white base for color and pizazz!  I chose colors from the photo to use as the base. 

It is bright.  But it is fun too!  

Thanks for stopping in.

Head over to Queen & Co. and give it a look over.  

Be sure to read my journaling on the page.  Poor kid.

Summer - Queen and Company

Well, this is different for me.  I decided on the rainbow paper first.  Then, the Windows Shaker Card Kit.  I wanted to do more than the norm for my blog post on the Queen and Company blog today, so I added 3, THREE different die cuts, with two being shaker cards.  ON a layout!  What!

So, right now, it is all about summer and our pool.  We had friends over recently and I printed and trimmed my fave photos to fit within the Windows Shaker.  But my fave, the color bling that matches the rainbow paper.  I love it!  It was fun to find just the right colors to match. 

Head to the Queen and Company store to get yourself some fun embellishments and shakers.  

Tell them I sent ya!
