Happy Friday!

I have been really into watching YouTube videos lately, and y'all - there's SO. MUCH. INSPIRATION!

I created this layout as one of the ending pages of my 2015 album & I was heavily inspired by Hey Nae and a recent video she did with a Felicity Jane kit creating layers. Watching her effortlessly create these amazing layers and just show peeks of little dies or lace really inspired me & I had to give it a try. I also have been watching a lot of sequin extraordinaire, Sarah McClellan, and that was what inspired my sequin pocket on this page.

I mean, don't you all decorate your Christmas tree in your underwear?

I'm super happy how this turned out. LOTS of glitter is always my style. I just glittered the bottom half of this wood veneer to go with the metallic paper & sequin pocket.

I had some scraps of this beautiful black lace that just went super well with the lovely Modern Metallic DCWV stack I was using. This glitter ribbon from Crate Paper is always a fave.

And the sequin pocket - you'll be seeing many sequins from me in upcoming projects... Can't stop, won't stop.

I'm really happy how my page came out & highlight the sweet wonder of my little guy decorating the Christmas tree (in his underwear).

Supplies:
White Cardstock - Bazill
Black and Gold papers - Modern Metallics by DCWV
Glitter ribbon - Crate Paper
Magic wood veneer - Bella Blvd
Gold alphas - Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper

Starting off Sizzlin' Summer!

Happy Monday, all.

Today I have a fun layout using a sketch from Scrapbook Challenges. We're kicking off a Sizzlin' Summer Challenge, and there will be new sketches EVERY WEEKDAY for the next 4 weeks! It sure it keeping me busy & I love it!

Today's layout was created for my December 2015 6x8 mini album. I love that these sketches can be adapted for any size layout quite easily.

I also created a corresponding pocket page opposite the layout. It was for our low-key New Year's Even celebration we had at our house.

Even though our party wasn't super fancy, I love the idea of black and gold for NYE. I recently won a Modern Metallics stack from DCWV and it was so perfect for these pages! Aren't those glitter Thickers to die for?!

Okay, well maybe it was a little fancy. I mean look at that charcuterie! The baby bundle was quite small and definitely unable to spend the night away from me yet, but he was such an angel all night!

I recapped a bit of our 2015 on the pocket pages - it was a good year, as it saw the birth of my little one. I'm trying to keep my 6x8 album light and bright, so tried to keep it simple here.

Supplies:
All papers - DCWV Modern Metallics Stack
Doily - Michael's Recollections
Au Revoir written by my Cricut
Gold Stars - Studio Calico

I hope you all play along with Sizzlin' Summer over Scrapbook Challenges this month. It'll be a blast!
