{Love ♥ Love} Anniversary layout

Hello and Hi! I have a layout I put together of my husband and me on our 2nd Anniversary. I used the current colors at CCG for this layout. Here is my page:

 

Here are the colors from CCG:

 

Here are some detail pics(I took alot, lol):

My title is the song title by John Michael Montgomery: I Love The Way You Love Me. This was my first attempt at paper rolling, and I think I did pretty good!! I also decided to stitch down my title letters. Thought it gave a good look to it. You can see my transparent flourishes coming out under the paper roll.

r

My very, very short amount of "journaling", more of just a detail of what the pics are, lol. Also some close-ups of some of the embellies.

Here are the roses he sent me on our Anniversary, So sweet! I added a flourish photo corner, and stitched down with opposite color thread.

Here is an angled view to show the dimension...

And another...

I got some great advice from some friends on this layout, and I think it turned out great because of their help!! So, thank you ladies(you know who you are!)!!

For this layout, I used:

• Bazzill Cardstock
• Crate Paper, Portrait Collection, patterned paper
• Echo Park, For The Record, patterned paper
• MME, Lost & Found, patterned paper
• The Paper Studio, transparency
• SpareParts by The Paper Studio, brads
• The Ribbon Boutique, ribbon
• tulle
• RicRak 
• flowers from a friend
• wooden letters, from Walmart
• acrylic paint
• Cricut Cartridges: Heritage, Lyrical Letters

Hope you all enjoyed my post today, and thanks for your kind words!!

Much love,

My Favorite Outfit {CCG 204}

Hi Everyone!! If you didn't see my exciting news, check it out here!!

Okay, on to my layout!! I just absolutely loved the color challenge this week at CCG!! I had a lot of fun putting this layout together!!

 

Here is this weeks challenge:

 

I used the current sketch at Sketches In Thyme(sketch #53):

And here are some detailed shots:

I hand stitched the ribbon onto the layout, folding it in every inch or so to give it a layered-type look. I used my Cticut and cut out the title word FAVORITE, and used a white gel pen to outline the letters.

Found this cute as a button sticker in my stash and it was just perfect! I adhered it to the creamy yellow pp to give it a nice border/background. I wrapped the photo in ribbon twice, and then wrapped the sticker once, tied it off, and added the flower and button.

Its hard to tell from the photo, but the layout does have quite a bit of dimension. I used a bunch of my pop up adhesives throughout the layout. Some of the squares from the grid strip are popped up, the title words FAVORITE and OUTFIT are popped up, and the cute as a button sticker is popped up.

Here is a close up of the ribbon and stitching. I wanted you to see the blue ribbon I used. I just love the look of it against the brown ribbon.

I am also entering this into ScrapFIT's current Weekend Warmup (#11): Flowers. I am also adding it to Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge: Animals.

For this layout, I used:

• Cardstock from HobbyLobby
• ColorBok patterned paper
• MME pp
• TPS pp
• Making Memories- puffy alphas
• Crate Paper Phrases, Toy Box Collection- journal sticker
• K&Co, Wild Saffron Die-Cut Cardstock- journal tag
• Me&MyBigIdeas, Cute As A Button- sticker
• Stickopotamus, alpha stickers
• Tim Holtz- mini paper clips
• Buttons Galore and More- buttons
• Spare Parts by TPS- brads
• Pentel Sunburst Gel pen, white
• Glue Dots, pop up adhesives
• ribbon and flower from a friend
• twine
• Cricut cartridge- Lyrical Letters

Thank you all for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing day!!

Much Love,

CCG Feature Member!!

Hi everyone!! I am sooo excited to be the Feature Member for ColorCombosGalore this week!! Yay! Doing my happy dance!! lol...Anyway, Thank You to everyone over there for being so amazing!! Special shout-out to Debbi (I love you lady!!) Okay, lol, here is my layout:

 

Here is this weeks challenge over at CCG:

I used a sketch from Sassy Lil Sketches(July 21st sketch):

 

Here are some close-ups for you!

I really like how the title turned out. The alpha stickers from Echo Park(For The Record line) with the teal border reminds me of baby blocks!

close up of the journaling and one of the flowers. I had absolutely NO dark teal anything (besides the beads). So, I had to ink some medium teal cardstock to get the correct color. I also inked the thread! lol

I thought this was such a sweet picture, and it needed something to draw your eye to it. I love the look with the "border". The flowers came from a dear friend(thank you Shaunery!!), and I cut the vellum with my cricut to give them one more layer. Attached them all together with teal brads from SpareParts.

 

 

 

Here is the border. I didn't want it to overpower the layout, or the pictures, so i put the vellum over it to give it a softer look. I love the look of the eyelets on the border, too!

I am also going to enter this into ScrapFIT workout #49 : Put A Banner On It

For this layout, I used:

• ColorBok cardstock
• scrap cardstock
• MME Simply Delightful paper
• MME bellabella paper
• MME breaking free paper
• EchoPark For The Record paper
• vellum
• CratePaper borders
• EchoPark For The Record alphas
• rope
• SpareParts by TPS brads and eyelets
• ColorBok Woodhaven cardstock stickers
• glassbeads
• Craftsmart bye based ink, teal
• Cricut cartridges: DonJuan, Doodlecharms, Lyrical Letters

Thank you for stopping by! I really hope you enjoy!! Have an amazing weekend!

Much love,
Jenny♥
