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.

Supplies Used:
Happy Harvest Fall Paper Pad

Star Power - Queen and Company

Good morning!
Mary-Ann Maldonado here with a fun way to use your shaker die cuts to their fullest potential. I was assigned the Stars Shaped Shaker Kit over at Queen & Company, and I incorporated it into my title two times!

You can see below that I used a cut file for my title from Paper Issues. I used a FREE cut file and cut it 3 times. Twice as a background and once in black as shown. There are three stars in the kit and I chose the one that would best fit in the place of the A. I filled it with random toppings to help coordinate with the colors in my photo.

I used the smaller star for the O in Power. You can sere that I used think strips of papers to create a background for my layout. Then I journaled on white paper strips and stamped a few sentiments on white as well and tucked them in random places.
