Yup...a layout

Hang on to your seats....Tracy has a layout to share ;)

When I was at Crop and Create the other weekend, I bought a kit that Vickie Boutin put together.

The kit is jammed packed, you have all the supplies, plus more, to make 2- 2page layouts.

On Friday Night Scrapbooking my friend Debbie and I cut all the papers to made all 4 pages. 

Today I completed 2 of my layouts and I am so happy with how they turned out.

Considering I haven't done a 12x12 layout in a year and a half ;)

If you know me then you know I only do 2 page spreads....when I actually scrap that is ;)

I can never follow instructions, I always have to add my touch/style to everything.
One thing I almost always do is ink my edges.
We were supplied flower die cuts, but the completed photo in the instructions showed hearts.
So I found some coloured chipboard hearts in my stash. Because they were coloured and had a glossy finish, I alcohol inked them to a colour that went better with the papers supplied in the kit.
I then used brown Staz-On ink to ink the script onto the front of the hearts.

I also added the flag on the photo frame. The chipboard flag was also supplied in the kit.

I switched up a few of the embellishments to go more with the theme of this page.

I didn't use as many butterflies as used in the sketch. I also inked up the butterflies as well.
The letters were not supplied in the kit, these are from my sticker stash ;)

I had fun layering the chipboard pieces :)

Here are the completed pages side by side.
The colours are a bit washed out in the photos.... I need to work on my layout photos....I guess that means I need to make some more layouts to practice on ;)

I hope you all had a wonderful and creative Tuesday :)

Tracy :)
