# Love You Layout

  I don't post for months and then "Bam" a post every day for like a week, lol.

If you have read my posts from this week and last week, then you know that I attended a virtual Creative Gathering put on by The Scrapbook Cottage.

They had 7 sketches for cards and 7 sketches for scrapbook layouts (which I completed thank you very much, teehee)....But they also had classes!

Because they are located in Winnipeg and Steinbeck and I am from Ontario, I wasn't able to pick up the kits for these Class kits. Sharon would have mailed them out, but I was a bit late in hearing about this, and the kits wouldn't have got to me in time.

So what is a crafty girl to do....but make up her own kits with her supplies.

Sharon and Kathy shared what was in their kits, so I just tried my best to make them work.

I was only able to do 2 of the classes as this event was jammed packed!

I still have my makeshift kits put aside to work on these classes at a later date, as the classes are still up on their Facebook page .

Here is my take on Sharon's Class

What I loved about this one is the heart shape with the 2x2 papers.

Sharon used a cut apart paper, where I had this stack of 2x2's.

Another difference is that Sharon had a pattern paper for her background where I used white cardstock and added paint splatters.

And one last change I made was that she had cut her photos in 2x2 sizes and added them to the 2x2 squares.

This was a really fun take on a layout! 

Then I did one of Kathy's classes.

I was shocked that Kathy coloured and cut all of the tiny images in her kits....not only that but there were 4 cards in each kit!

I found some cute images that were coloured and some I had to colour that night to put on my card.

Even though our images are different I used the same concept as Kathy for my cards.

I only got 1 out of the 4 cards completed.

I also did a video on these 2 projects.

I would love if you visited my YouTube channel and send me some love...If you have a channel, I will return the love right back to you ❤️

Thank you all so much for visiting me today 

I hope you are all well, safe and are having a creative day.

Happy New Year Layout

I wasn't really sure about this layout at first, but I am pleasantly surprised on how it turned out.
My daughter Ashley took these photos of Sawyer and Dawson on New Years Day.

The cream coloured paper in the middle and around the outer edge of this layout is very old paper of mine (like over 10 yrs) it is hand made paper and very fiberous, almost like a fabric. It is also very thin, so I had to adhere it to some cardstock to make it more stiff.
I just had to use this paper as it has gold flecks in a fireworks pattern, how could I not!
If you saw the back of this paper, you would see that I cut out the center of this paper and adhered it to the middle of the layout....I am so so thrifty with papers!

I wanted to make a banner, but I wanted it to be different then my last one......so I used stars!
I thought this was fitting for a New Years banner with the little ones :)

What is fun about the confetti paper is that some of the dots are glossy.
I wanted to add even more sparkle to this layout, so I used these sparkly enamel dots scattered around the whole layout.

I also made a video on this layout.

Tying up Loose Ends.

I have shared these layouts in past posts, but I have just did videos on them and feel the need to share the video with you as well :)
I am going through that huge stack of completed layouts and sharing them on my blog as well as my YouTube channel and my other social media sites....so be prepared to see a lot of layouts :)

These layouts are of Sawyer from Christmas.
I hope you enjoy the video :)
If you would rather watch it on my YouTube channel (as you get the full screen on there instead of the cut off version on here) just click on the link, as well as give me a thumbs up :)

Eva's Layout

A couple of weekends ago I went to a crop.
It was a 12 hour crop that a local lady hosted at a rec center near me.
She also sells Close to my Heart, so had her tools for everyone to use and also was selling some products.
At first no one in my group was going to come with me...but then 2 of my friends changed their minds.
I think, just the thought of me having fun without them, was just to much for them to handle, lol.
We only had to pay $10.00 to attend.
We didn't stay for the full crop as it was held on a Sunday...and you know, I can't miss the Walking Dead ;)

While I was there I made a couple of layouts.
Here is one that I did that I just love so much.
This is a layout of my niece with her husband and baby daughter (who is now 2 yrs old).

I picked out these gorgeous papers a couple of years ago.
The papers are from Bo Bunny called Primrose, gorgeous, gorgeous papers.
When I saw them, I instantly fell in love with them and bought 2 of each sheet as well as the stickers and chipboard pieces.
I then went to the back of the store where they kept their cardstock, and picked out matching cardstock as well.
I made a kit in the store :)
I had no idea what I was going to do with these papers, but with 3 daughters, I figured I would find a use for them ;)
And I have many more papers to make a few layouts of my daughters.

Do you do this?
Not only am I a hoarder of pretty papers, but I am also thrifty with my pretty papers.
I like to save as much of them as possible.
Like with this layout for instance.
I cut the back of the brown cardstock out of the center to use for matting.
I also cut the one side out of the main piece of pattern paper to use for another layout.
If you are confused...this is the back of the above layout.

I have a second page to this one, but I have to change out one of the photos, as my daughter doesn't like the photo I used of her, lol.
And because I have photos on this layout, I can call this layout complete!

Oops, here is the sketch I followed for this layout.

So are you thrifty with your pretty papers as well?
If so, tell me if you do what I do and if not, what do you do to stretch your pretty papers.
I hope you all have a very creative day.

Tracy :)
