Wow, it has really been a beautiful weather weekend! My husband finally started to weed our backyard landscaping. We need to re-mulch as well but unfortunately our dogs love to eat mulch so we have been waiting until the last minute. In fact, we did not re-mulch our backyard at all last year.
This weekend I have been working on some 12 x 12 layouts using some photographs that I came across in my photo stash.
One of the pictures is one of Terry and I during our Washington DC trip in 2011.
Since Valentine's Day has come and gone, I wanted to use Crate Paper's Fourteen collection on a layout. This collection has the most beautiful papers! If you tune into my blog, I made a video last month showing most of the papers in the collection.
I really like how it turned out. I used some embellishments from Pink Paislee because they worked well with the papers and colors on my layout.
I really liked this wide chevron pattern paper and knew I had to use it as a background paper.
The cardstock arrows are from the Pink Paislee ephemera pack. I used Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic gold glitter Thickers for my title which is just our names.
The hearts are from one of the patterned papers but I cut some of them out and used them for embellishments instead. If you notice, I stitched in the middle of the hearts using a gold metallic thread I found at Joann's - LOVE it!
My next layout is using some pictures I found from Christmas 2010. We actually hosted Christmas that year at our house. Both our families came out that day to open presents.
I decided to go ahead and use them in a layout and add to my 2011 album.
For this layout, I used scraps from Crate Paper's Sleigh Ride collection that I used in my December Daily.
I used kraft paper that is woodgrain embossed from Studio Calico as my background paper. Crate Paper's Sleigh Ride was another collection with beautiful patterned papers.
Embellishments are from the same collection. I used some Studio Calico wood veneer snowflakes and a Findingnana badge with a camera on it.
Sleigh Ride gold and the Fourteen collection red glitter Thickers were used for the title.
I also did some stitching at the very bottom but messed up a little :) The thread somehow tangled up so had to redo it. I used the gold metallic thread again.
I really like how these layouts turned out. I love that I was able to use more of these collections and use up my stash :)
I recently purchased several new items at the Two Peas in a Bucket online store which I received on Friday. I went ahead and filmed another haul video using my new video camera.
You can check it out at my You Tube channel PandPCreations but I will also link it here on my blog.
It was a long video so had to break it up into 2 parts. It showcases some of the new collections from Echo Park, My Mind's Eye, Studio Calico, and Crate Paper.
There are still several new collections that I am really wanting like the new Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm and the new Amy Tangerine Yes Please collections. Can't wait until they are in stock at Two Peas!
I hope you enjoyed my layouts/projects this week and hopefully I inspired you to keep on scrapbooking or to start a new hobby.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great week!
