Beautiful Luck with Paper House Productions

Hey friends!

I have a new video up on my YouTube channel today for this layout I created using Paper House Productions products.

I brought the rustic sparkle with this green & woodgrain look. Glitter leaves and title add the sparkle.

My color scheme was inspired by the adorable puffy Jeep sticker from PHP!

The "quote" on my page is from a poem by Atticus from Love her Wild.

Definitely in my green period this month.

I got so excited when I realized these sticker flakes were metallic green and would match this layout so perfectly! Ahh when the stars align!

Please pop over to the tube and watch my process video.

Life behind bars

Hey y'all!

 I used the awesome sketch challenge in the A Cherry on Top gallery this month to create this fun, boy, jeep page.

Here's the original sketch:

I used torn paper windows instead of tags.

I had cut these "chicken wire" bits on my cricut ages ago, and this page seemed perfect to finally use them.

I added texture with some ranger texture paste, my new fave polka dot stencil and some black watercolor.

These Heidi Swapp chipboard stickers from my stash were perfect for this boyish page. Love these Kaisercraft papers too, they're textured and fab!

Hope you'll play along with this sketch challenge in the Cherry gallery!

Best Title Ever

Hey everyone!

I just had to do a quick post about this page I finished up today. Y'all I was so excited to complete my page, I forgot to drink COFFEE! What?! If you know me, you know that's wild.  Don't worry, I am making up for it now.

I created this layout about how my hubs just had to have a new Jeep last weekend. I have some hidden journaling that talks about how I was hesitant, but I just want to make him happy. And he definitely was happy.

Haha I'm super pumped about the title. You know Zack drove Kelly around in a Jeep on the shores of California. Power couple.

I used some aqua Heidi Swapp texture paste with this chevron stencil that looks somewhat like tire tacks for my Jeep page. I also splattered some Tattered Angels in Jackolantern.

I used all kinds of brands, and actually entered the page in a Spring Salad challenge for Paper Issues because I used Heidi Swapp, Mambi, Bella Blvd, Shimelle, My Minds Eye, Simple Storeies, and gosh maybe even more! I"m not entirely sure where all the ephemera bits came from because some were prizes.

I tucked my hidden journaling behind that right now tag, so it's right at the top of the page protector to be pulled out easily.

I don't normally do white backgrounds, but I really wanted to do the stencil, so I started with the white, and I am really happy with how it turned out. I also have been wanting to try using some of the tissue packaging from my Cocoa Daisy kits, so I finally did that. I used it to soften the turquoise and pink papers I used for layering. I sewed through the middle to try to create a little ruffle, but I probably shouldn't have bothered because it doesn't come through well. Also, it's difficult to sew through tissue!

Thanks for looking & I hope you have a crafty Saturday!

Jeep Fun - a LGS sketch!

Hey everyone!

I'm working on my "be more prolific" goal for the year, and it's going well. Today, I have a layout created with this week's sketch from Let's Get Sketchy - they always have inspiring sketches!

Here is the original sketch:

I'm really loving this boy themed paper from Authentique!

Here you can see a few orange shimmery paint splatters. I also folded my wood grain washi tape back on itself to create a little dimension and I really like how it turned out!

I cut the top cute little camera from some kraft stickers, and the green camera from a Pink Paislee travel collection paper pad.

Supplies:
Green paper & camera - Pink Paislee Atlas
Gray and orange papers - Authentique Darling Boy
Kraft stickers - Studio Calico
Cork stickers - Journey by Crate Paper
Kraft alphas - Colorbok
