PHOTOBOOTH

Happy Friday friends and family! A few weeks ago, my work threw an amazing dinner party for the entire company. They do this every year and every year, the girls and I make sure to stop at the photobooth. HAHAHA... I just love these girls. They are super funny and crazy.

For the base, I used a few pieces of patterned paper from Paper House's Marbleous collection. I love how the teal and orange really makes the photos pop.

I altered the "The Photobooth" 3D Sticker using markers from Altenew. Initially, it was all cream and white with a touch of gold. I added some blue, pink and orange to it. I also added some orange jewels from Queen & Company.

I picked the "Grab a prop and strike a pose" 3D sticker apart so I could have a flat piece (die cut) to tuck slightly behind the photo next to the journaling tag.

I used Creative Memories's Lace border punch to create a pretty lace border to help break up the white at the top.

What do you think? I tried to make this layout fun and colorful. Isn't it so pretty? :) This layout literally makes me smile.

ADORE TODAY

Hi everybody. Hope you're having a wonderful week. Today, I'm sharing a layout I created using the "Adore Today" perspextive that is available in the Bramble Fox shop. I love the two fonts together. And it looks perfect on this layout!

I used a few kraft tags and the kraft butterfly die cut from Maya Road to embellish this layout. I love the way the kraft looks against the papers and they blend nicely with the "ADORE TODAY" acrylic.

Here is a closer look at the acrylic. I just love it...

Before I started embellishing this layout, I splattered red acrylic paint in the background. I think the red adds a nice touch.

Patterned Paper: 49 & Market, Acrylic Stamps: 49 & Market, Prima Marketing, Acrylic word script: Bramble Fox, Die cuts: Pretty Little Studio, Maya Road, Metal Butterfly: Prima Marketing, Chipboard: 7Dots Studio, Cork Flowers: Pretty Little Studio.

Thanks for stopping by today!

HOLIDAY FUN

Happy Sunday all. Pinkfresh Studio is having a fun challenge for December. Go ahead and pull out your holiday photos and start playing. I used their holiday collection from last year to create this layout. I've been hoarding it until now. For this layout, I included lots of layers using die cut embellishments, enamel dots and chipboard frames. That snowman is adorable!! He makes me smile.

SHINE BRIGHT

Good morning friends and family! I'm sharing my first Christmas layout of the year. A few weeks ago, my family celebrated Christmas early so that my sister Katie would not miss out... She moved right after Thanksgiving to Colorado. Every year, it's a tradition of mine to have someone take a photo of the three of us. I've been doing this since Edward was born and it never gets old.

Scrapbookingstore.com was nice enough to send me their December kit to work with! At first, I was hesitant because I'm not a big fan of scrapbooking the holidays... I have such a hard time scrapping Christmas photos for some reason, but I really like how this turned out.

The stickers in this kit are too cute for words. I just love them all. I added a few foam squares and jewels to make them pop.

Isn't that little reindeer adorable?! I had to find a way to use him on this layout. :)

The acrylic was from my stash. It is part of the December Fox Box by Bramble Fox. If you have not checked them out, check them out. Their acrylics are fabulous!

I stapled the end of the "Merry Christmas" sticker label just for fun. I love my mini stapler.

MOVIE NIGHT

Happy Friday friends! I've been playing with my acrylic paints from Bad Girls Couture along with my stencils and lots of fun 3D Stickers from Paper House!

For the background, I used a paint brush to color the white cardstock using coral paint and red paint.

I used the Movie Night 3D Stickers from Paper House to frame the photo.

These stickers are so cute. I spotted them a few months ago on scrapbook.com's website and knew I would find some use for them in the future. :)

I framed the photo using a few tags from Pretty Little Studio. Then I clustered a few stickers to the right-side of the photo.

I used a stencil to create the stars in the background. This was done before I embellished the layout.

I love adding dimension to my projects and I especially love layering pretty embellishments together to create a fun layout.

HO HO HO

Happy Monday friends! I used Paper House's adorable Christmas papers and stickers to create this layout. Last year, Pete bought Edward an electric scooter for Christmas. Edward was so excited because daddy got one too... that way they can both ride them together.

The Christmas Magic Cardstock Sticker Pack is filled with cute  stickers! I just love them all.

I clustered several stickers together to create such a fun layout.

I used the 3-D "HO, HO, HO" Sticker to frame my journaling. So much fun!

Celebrate

Good morning everyone, Nicole here with a festive, mixed media layout. For this layout, I used the Celebrate perspextive from the December Fox Box from Bramble Fox and the shiny stars! Ah, aren't they gorgeous? What a fun box of happy this month!  ​​

For the background, I used some green and blue acrylic paints from Bad Girls Couture. If you look closely, you'll see the little paint splatters I created using white gesso and a stencil. This was such a fun layout to create. When I started this layout, I wanted to make something fun and funky with lots of paint and embellishments.  ​​   ​​

Here is a closer look at the star perspextive from this month's box. LOVE... ​​And the embellishments are all from Pretty Little Studio's newest collection,  Christmas Joy.

What is your favorite part of this month's Fox Box? I know...there's so many good things about this box, it's hard to pick just one. :) ​ If you're looking for a few more festive embellishments, check out the Document December perspextives!
