It's not an official class, but rather just a few close friends coming over to join me in doing some scrapbooking. One friend offered to bring dessert. Doesn't get much sweeter than that.
Anyway, I decided to go ahead and get an early start so that I can be a good hostess and have something a little bit inspiring to get them started. Here is the layout I created tonight:

I really love how it came out. I used a packet of paper from Close to my Heart called Footloose. This paper did not excite me when I first saw it. However, I began to see some really cute scrapbooking layouts being shared on Pinterest and on some consultant blogs. It began to grow on me. So glad I decided to get some to use for this summer's pictures. I also used a few of the coordinating dimensional elements. LOVE IT!!!
I am in the process of doing a few more summer layouts while I am on a roll with this paper packet. Here is another one for you:

Can you spot my boo-boo? I erroneously stamped the date incorrectly. As I marveled at how I managed to do that, I then spotted a photo I almost added that was from 2012 instead of 2011. Thankfully it was fixable. I love looking back at how much my children have grown even over just a one year period of time. I added a few cutouts from a Cricut Cartridge I had on hand called Life is a Beach. Next to my Close to my Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge, I think this one is my second favorite cartridge that I own. Lots of fun summer goodies are on it. Perfect for doing beach layouts like this one.

ReplyDeleteThank you Crafty Texan for both your visit and your comment. I thought the pink really popped out and coordinated with the outfit my baby was wearing as well.
ReplyDeleteTwo layouts! Awesome! and they both look great. Love all the fun embellishments. I think beach layouts are my favorite. Thank you for playing along at H2H
ReplyDeleteFunny how a paper pack doesn't really hit us until we dig in and start working with it. You've done a wonderful job with Footloose! TFS
ReplyDelete@Dania and Marg, thank you for visiting and your compliments.Yes, I always love paper better more when it's filled with sentiments and memories that are "Close to my Heart".
