Secret Garden Sketch with ACOT

I have another layout using the ACOT sketch challenge this week. Find my process video on my YouTube channel!

This is the original sketch: 

I translated it to fit a 6x8 page in my vacation album about the garden at Middelton Place. Secret Garden was my favorite book (and movie) growing up! This reminded me of it.

Thanks for looking!

Floral Travel with Momenta

I'm here today with a fun Momenta layout that completed my summer vacation album from last year!!

I worked my die cut machine in one of my favorite color schemes to create this page of me and my boys.

 I just cut a few patterned papers in a couple different florals and sewed them onto my page. Love these jewel toned papers from Momenta. They're perfect for the rustic part of my #rusticsparkle.

This awesome mixed media sticker fit the theme well too, adn I added a glitter strip below it to tie in with the glitter florals.

Yay! That makes me happy.

A completed album before we head to our next family vacay is also something that makes me happy!

You can find a flip through of the entire album on my YouTube channel today!

Thanks for looking, friends!

Hold the Door with IRS

Hey friends!

You can read all the details on the IRS blog!

Georgia on my Mind - Lasting Memories

Happy Sunday, friends!

There's another great challenge over at Lasting Memories today. It inspired me to create the title page for our July 2018 vacation album.

The challenge was to use this photo as inspiration for the layout:

I used the circles, the colors, and the butterflies within my page.

I layered this green map transparency over a watercolor pink background to soften it up. I actually used the transparency backwards because the green was too lime for the southern belle look I was aspiring toward.

I sewed my circles down. I cut them from Maggie Holme's Crate paper and a Webster's pages floral piece.

I used these Pink Paislee's Thickers by PTE as a tiny title - GA on my mind. 

I hope you're inspired to create something fabulous with this week's challenge over at Lasting Memories. There's tons of great inspiration on the blog!

My Love with Momenta

Valentine's Day is almost here, friends!

Today I'm bringing another fun page using Momenta products to document our 10th anniversary trip to the Grand Canyon.

I used these awesome nested rectangle dies to cute different sizes from this gorgeous paper pad.

I used Heidi Swapp gold shine for splatters to compliment the golf foil accents on the Moment wood veneer stickers and the gold glitter sentiment stickers.

I used a poem from one of my favorites, Attticus. The glitter words formed part of the poem perfectly!

This paper pad has some really great spring florals! I cannot wait to use it again.

Thanks for looking! 

Arrrgh, Matey! - a Momenta page

Hello matey's! Tis National Talk Like a Pirate day! To celebrate, here's a fun page I created using Momenta products.

I used this awesome screen stencil for the background! I think it is intended for fabric, but it worked fabulously on paper.

I used silver metallic paint to paint the background. It dried super quickly.

These are photos of me and my boys at the Pirate House - a cool, historic, haunted restaurant in Savannah.

Isn't that the cutest pirate you've ever seen?!

I'm loving these gemtones pages from Momenta!

I ran some cardstock through my embossing machine and I distressed all the edges of the project life cards I used as layering pieces.

This is some halloween felt embellishments I picked up after the holiday last year - perfect for a pirate page!

A little journaling at the bottom of the page finished it off - it's amazing how many small photos I'm getting comfortable at fitting on an 8x8 page!

Enjoy National Pirate Day!

Mixed bag FUN with Lasting Memories

Hey friends!

Today our challenge at Lasting Memories a mixed bag - today's challenge is to use the word fun on a summer layout.

This was a great challenge for me since I'm working through a summer beach vacation 8x8 album.

I used a collection of outtakes from a photo session with my boys on the beach to create these pocket pages. I even printed a blooper photo because i just loved the little blurry sandy hands, and it was perfect to hold my "fun" title!

I stamped with fun sentiments from the new mermaid stamps at Ink Road and used lots of Amy Tangerine papers.

These kids are so crazy - it's hard to get "good" photos these days, but I'm loving the outtakes!

Thanks for looking & I hope you'll play along at Lasting Memories!!

Road Trip Tip - a Lasting Memories page

Hey friends! Today a new challenge theme begins at Lasting Memories - Transportation!

Here is my page about cars - it's my boys on a recent road trip.

My road trip tip is to stop for bathroom breaks at donut stores! Two birds with one stone - you get to use the bathroom and you get to eat a donut on vacation!

I also happened to be driving and glance down when I hit the big 88888! 

They look like good donuts to me!

I hope you will come play along with us at  Lasting Memories this month!

Believe in Mermaids - a Momenta page

Hey friends! I've got a new, summery page for you today, inspired by the lovely products by Momenta.

I wanted this selfie to be super beachy, so I used tinted glitter paste for waves atop the Momenta watercolor cardstock.

These Spiegel Mom Scraps sequins were perfect for my beachy theme.

I tinted half of this Momenta wood veneer sticker with a pink gelato to compliment the rest of the title I cut with the alpha die from Momenta.

I added glitter paste to the tails of the little mermaid beauties because we all know mermaids sparkle!

I die cut a few other sea creatures from glitter cardstock as homemade embellishments.

Momenta has so many nautical and tropical themed products for your summer scrapbooks!

Aren't these puffy stickers the cutest?! Go grab some of these great products for your beach themed layouts. The dies are so versatile with endless page possibilities.
