<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I loved working with the Ink Pads, and I used the <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/collections/ink-cubes"><b>minis</b></a>...they are SO CUTE!! I started out by coordinating some of the ink pad colors that I wanted to use, with the Just a Little Lovely collection. I decided on colors from these ink pad groups: Rise & Shine, Soul of Province, Indian Summer, Fairy Dust and Starry Night. They coordinated perfectly with the Around Here patterned paper from the collection.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stamped out a frame and some floral pieces from the Pinkfresh Studio <a href="http://shrsl.com/1vmjh"><b>Abstract Builder</b></a> stamp set and then I fussy cut them out, so I could place them around my photo. The fussy cut pieces created a perfect cluster on the left hand side of the page.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also used the same colors from my stamped images to add extra splatters on the layout. I rubbed the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1vmjj"><b>Sweet Mustard</b></a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1vmjm"><b>Regal Kiss</b></a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/1vmjl"><b>Slumber</b></a> ink pads onto some clear packaging. Then I wet the tip of my paintbrush and picked up some of the ink pad color, and splattered it onto the background paper. I love that the extra splatters look like they were already part of the paper!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut a heart shape from white cardstock. I backed the heart shape with my photo and one of the papers from The Basics paper stack. Then I placed it on a white cardstock background. I wanted the heart shape to really pop, so I used all of the fussy cut flowers around the edge of the heart and them machine stitched around it.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used one of the cut apart sheets from the Color Play paper stack for my title. I just cut the word Be-You-Tiful and added it over the fussy cut flowers, to the right of my photo. For balance, I also cut the word love from the cut apart paper and placed it on the upper left hand side of the heart.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the finishing touches, I incorporated a few embellishments from the Crate Paper Chasing Dreams collection, that coordinated with the paper colors. I also used the same paper from The Basics stack, that I placed behind my photo, to add two corners to the edge of the layout. Then I splattered some Black Color Shine diagonally across the page.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my second project, I decided to create a layout in my Traveler's Notebook. I love brightly colored patterned papers, so I chose some from both of the paper stacks. I wanted my photo to be Black & White to add a nice contrast with the bright papers.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started with a cut file from The Cut Shoppe, and cut it from white cardstock, then backed it with several patterned papers from The Basics paper stack. I loved all of the color on the polka dot paper, so I also used a cut file with it to create a frame for my layout. Once I had the flower cut files backed, I placed them on the corners of each side of the layout.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love to have symmetry in my projects, so I placed my photo and one of the cut apart phrases on either side of the layout. Before adding the cut apart card, which works as my title, I added some machine stitching around the edge.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also fussy cut a few flowers from one of the Color Play patterned papers, to add to the layout. Fussy cutting is a great way to create your own embellishments. And I finished the layout, with a few other embellishments from Simple Stories and Studio Calico.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On my second layout, I used the Everyday Musings collection and I wanted to add dimension and texture! Layered hearts add lots of dimension and machine stitching bring in some great texture.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the heart shapes from several of the patterned papers in the Everyday Musings 6x6 paper pad. Then I folded each one down the center, layered them together and machine stitched them. I also drew a large heart shape on my background card stock and then placed the layered hearts along the shape.</span><br />

It's also NEW Release Day at <a href="https://www.techniquetuesday.com/"><b>Technique Tuesday</b></a> and there are lots of new stamps and dies in the Shop! I received the <a href="https://www.techniquetuesday.com/growing-garden-stamp-set.html"><b>Growing Garden Stamp Set</b></a> and the <a href="https://www.techniquetuesday.com/growing-garden-crafting-dies.html"><b>Growing Garden Crafting Dies</b></a>. I combined both of these to create a layout in my Traveler's Notebook.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you've followed me for a while, you have probably heard me say at least once, that I have a black thumb. I can never get anything to grow. Miraculously, I've manged to keep three of my succulent's alive for about a year now. The Growing Garden Stamp and Die set were perfect for documenting my photo.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started with the cute watering can from the stamp set and stamped it onto a pink striped patterned paper. Then I used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also added the cute butterfly from the stamp set to the center of the watering can. I wanted to create my title with the Home Grown sentiment, so I stamped it on a 3x4 card from the Spring Market collection by Carta Bella. I placed the watering can under the title and stamped on the cute lady bug to complete the 3x4 card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the left hand side of my Traveler's Notebook layout, I cut my photo to the same dimension as the 3x4 card and placed them side by side. Then I used a couple of the cute gardening tools from the Stamp set to create a cluster on the left side of my photo. </span><br />

Today, I'm sharing a new project for Technique Tuesday! I got to work with the new <a href="https://www.techniquetuesday.com/love-home-stamp-set.html"><b>Love Home</b></a> stamp set in my Traveler's Notebook. This stamp set is perfect for our family, because we homeschool, so we spend a lot of time at home!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started this Traveler's Notebook layout with a large photo, and paired it with a Pie Chart patterned paper. In the center of the Pie Chart, I stamped the "Life at Home" sentiment as the title of my layout. Then I added a little bit of journaling and embellishing to complete the left hand side of the layout.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted to include some stamping on the photo, so I used the <a href="https://www.techniquetuesday.com/oval-rectangle-stitched-labels-crafting-dies.html"><b>Oval & Rectangle Stitched Label Dies</b></a> with a rainbow patterned paper from the Amy Tangerine Stay Sweet collection. I loved that the rainbow patterned paper coordinated with the Pie Chart colors. Then I stamped two sentiments in black ink, from the Love Home stamp set on the die cut pieces. I placed one at the top right hand side and one at the bottom left hand side of the photo.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then I used the cute bird house image from the stamp set to create a fussy cut embellishment. I stamped the bird house in black ink on two different patterned papers from the Stay Sweet collection. Next, I cut out the pieces and trimmed away the bottom portion of the bird house on one of the patterned papers. I adhered the roof to the other part of the bird house and then placed it at the top of the Pie Chart.</span><br />

I am excited to be a Guest Designer with <a href="https://www.techniquetuesday.com/"><b>Technique Tuesday</b></a> for the months of March and April! There are so many fun Stamps and Dies in the Shop! I received the <b><a href="https://www.techniquetuesday.com/essential-stitched-labels-crafting-dies.html">Essential Stitched Labels Die</a></b> set and used them to create a Traveler's Notebook layout.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided to pair the Dies with the American Crafts New Day collection by Dear Lizzy. I thought it would be fun to use the 6x6 patterned papers with the Dies, since this size has a smaller pattern on it. I cut several of the Die shapes from the two smaller ones that are included with the set. Then I arranged them in my Traveler's Notebook to create a custom background.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Right now, I currently have a Tim Holtz Sidekick, which is a smaller manual die cut machine. It worked perfectly with the two smaller Dies, but I had to get creative to use the larger one. I decided to trace around the outside edge and the inside edge of the large Die. Then I cut it out and used my paper piercer to punch holes around the inside line. Then I hand-stitched with White embroidery floss. I love the texture this adds to the layout.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I saved most of my embellishing for last, because I knew the Essential Stitched Labels Die set would be perfect for adding different embellishments. I used a mix of die cuts, chipboard and fussy cut phrases from the collection to embellish the Dies. And, I wanted to leave some of the shapes without embellishments, to emphasize the cute patterned paper.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I kept this layout a little more on the simple side. I wanted the photo layered over the pre-printed heart page, and kept the color scheme more neutral. And, funny side story...the days of the week washi tape is a new one that I got a few weeks ago and my favorite ever. Apparently Baxter really likes it too, because one of the kids left it on the floor in the bedroom, and he chewed up the whole roll!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since I'm documenting photos for the month in my SC TN inserts, I thought, hey I need to have a layout for the photo of my SC Printables too! The Printables on this layout come from the monthly Workshop that goes along with each new TN Kit. This layout came together quickly and I love the brightness of the layout!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's hard to pick a favorite from all of the TN layouts I've done so far, but I think this one probably is the winner winner, chicken dinner! This fruit paper in the TN insert is SO CUTE. I thought it would be perfect for this photo of the kids entertaining themselves at the restaurant while we were waiting for our food. And it was fun to mix the ink colors for my title, using the Max Outlined Alpha stamp.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Surprise! Another layout about food!! Yes, I am one of "those" people who likes to take pictures of their food. :) This was a fun layout to put together, with all of the stamping on the left side of the TN. I am not a stamper on my layouts, but I'm really loving it in the TN!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed checking out all of the layouts I've worked on over the past week, and that you've been inspired with some new ideas to try out on your projects!! One of my favorite things about paper crafting, is the fact that ideas and inspiration are relevant to different projects, whether you're a scrapbooker, card maker, work in Traveler's Notebook, create home decor projects or whatever your favorite crafting hobby might be! </span>Ashley Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00231841700946368129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751870201320602403.post-70279637061957377052018-07-13T10:45:00.000-05:002018-07-13T10:45:14.162-05:00Traveler's Notebook | Pool Rules<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who's happy it's Friday??!! I know I am! We're half way through summer and we've taken a couple of trips over to the neighborhood pool. Honestly, it's been too hot even to go to the pool! HA! I've made sure to take some photos of the kids while we've been there, because I love documenting summer layouts. Today I have a new layout in my Traveler's Notebook, with a full page photo from one of our trips to the pool.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's so fun to use a full page photo in the TN! I loved this photo of our oldest daughter and the Teal color of the pool water. I placed it next to a Yellow patterned from Pink Paislee to give a bright contrast. I also incorporated the Crate Paper Oasis stamp set and some of the fun puffy stickers. You can find some of the Oasis collection <a href="http://shrsl.com/11yb0"><b>HERE</b></a> in the Scrapbook.com store.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before creating this layout, I had the idea in my head to fussy cut these cute frames from the Pick Me Up patterned paper from Pink Paislee and stamp inside each one. After fussy cutting the frames, I machine stitched around each one before adding it to the layout. I used three of my favorite <a href="http://shrsl.com/11yb8"><b>Color Theory Inks</b></a> from Studio Calico to stamp phrases inside each frame, with the Oasis alpha stamp. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And like I said before, I am having so much fun using my stamps in the TN, so I had to bring in one more. The sun design from the Studio Calico <a href="http://shrsl.com/11ybh"><b>Alfresco 6x8 stamp</b></a> worked perfectly with the theme of this layout. I stamped it in Black ink to make it really stand out on the spread. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finished the layout with a few Oasis stickers, and added some texture with my tiny attacher. And I used the White alpha stickers from the Pinkfresh Studio Simple & Sweet collection to add the title. I found <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1457086172"><b>THIS</b></a> fun Washi Tape from an Etsy shop and just had to have it! I love the way it looks and placed it in the bottom corner, layered over my photo. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I
used two of my favorite techniques on this layout, hand-stitching and
backing a cut file. I
worked on my title first, and used the Silhouette Cameo sketch pens to
draw out part of the title for hand-stitching. And I wanted to use a
large, vertical title on the layout to fill in the space next to the
Tangled Triangles cut file.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After
I finished my title, I worked on backing the cut file with some of the
6x6 papers from the Simple & Sweet collection. I didn't want to
fill in all of the triangle spaces, but I thought it would be fun to
bring in some pops of color and pattern with a few of the papers. </span><br />

used a larger than normal photo on the layout, and changed it to black
& white because I really wanted it to stand out. Then I placed
embellishments around the Tangled Triangle cut file to add balance to
the design.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thanks for stopping in today! I'll be back tomorrow with a new layout in my Traveler's Notebook! </span>Ashley Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00231841700946368129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751870201320602403.post-21319697507814953342018-07-11T00:00:00.000-05:002018-07-11T00:00:02.188-05:00Traveler's Notebook | There Goes My Hero<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you've had a chance to stop by my Blog this week, you're probably wondering if you're in the right place. You normally expect to see 12x12 layouts when you stop by my Blog, but lately it's been all about Traveler's Notebooks! You're definitely in the right place, and I'm excited to share new projects with you!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been away from posting on my Blog for the past couple of months, but I'm planning to be back on a more consistent basis. There are two reasons for that:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. For a while, I was on several Design Teams and keeping up with my own DT and Etsy shop, that I just couldn't find the time. And with all of the social media channels out there these days, sometimes certain ones get neglected. Now that my DT commitments are more manageable, I have more time to focus on other areas of the crafty community.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Because I am a WAHM and I consider paper crafting to be my favorite hobby, but also my at home job, I want to be able to share what I'm creating with you and the products I'm using. I will never share anything with you, that I don't love myself. Some of the products I use on my projects are purchased by me and some are provided from companies that I've worked with or purchased from for years. You may run across affiliate links in my posts, which means I just make a commission if you click on a link and make a purchase while visiting that site. And if you're like me, you probably can't resist awesome scrappy purchases every once in a while...or a few times a week! HA!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, with all of that out of the way, I've got a new Traveler's Notebook layout to share with you today. And I'll tell you a little bit about why I'm so in love with documenting in a TN.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_YgKApDkR-YmFkh88XFOeePaUMRH8aqHCqXo4Q-H7b8tvouWnjQQ5Q_mF1Fz9zr0-wN-9lZVBK7yHWB_20pwHd1xE5mN5Lgqc70XSugEDKCoFZSEXCAHNIlM9kU8ZsdPFuVAUDkh1zHE/s1600/Hero.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1400" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_YgKApDkR-YmFkh88XFOeePaUMRH8aqHCqXo4Q-H7b8tvouWnjQQ5Q_mF1Fz9zr0-wN-9lZVBK7yHWB_20pwHd1xE5mN5Lgqc70XSugEDKCoFZSEXCAHNIlM9kU8ZsdPFuVAUDkh1zHE/s640/Hero.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're wondering why the switch from 12x12 to Traveler's Notebooks, here's a few reasons:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. The size and they are self contained! After so many years on Design Teams, I have accumulated quite the stack of layouts. There were some months where I would be creating 15-20 layouts. That means lots of Scrapbook albums. I am not big on clutter, so having Scrapbook albums shoved in all parts of the house is just not appealing to me...currently the reason that almost all of them are at my husband's office. I have a few at our new house, but they are not something I put on display, so having to store them in a closet just doesn't do it for me. With Traveler's Notebooks, I could have 10 covers filled with inserts and not make a dent in storage space.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. I like to use my stamps in the TN. You will not find much stamping on my 12x12 layouts. I usually make a big mess when I'm stamping and just can't ever seem to work them into my layout designs very well. But I love that they are so easy to use in my TN. It's another flat embellishment I can add to my TN layout, that doesn't add bulk to the insert.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Journaling. I am not a journaler on my layouts. I gave it a try back in the day when I first started, but it just wasn't something I enjoyed doing. In the TN, I feel like they are easier for me to journal in. It's just one of those things, it doesn't make sense to me either! HA!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Time. Most of my 12x12 layouts are pretty time consuming. It can take an hour or two to complete one layout. Documenting in the TN is so much faster, but I still end up with a fun layout and the time to sit down and create.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. They are just fun! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hopefully this gives you a little more insight into the world of TN. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, onto some info about my Traveler's Notebook spread. This notebook is one I am working in for Reese. Right now, I have one for Madison, Emma, Reese, and an everyday insert that I created after watching a tutorial from Heba Alsibai. For this layout, I used the center pages. I wanted my photo to span across both pages. I snapped this photo on my phone one afternoon, when we were heading home from our swim at the neighborhood pool.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my title, I used a mix of alpha stickers from Pinkfresh Studio and the new <a href="http://shrsl.com/11rgs"><b>Max Outlined Alpha</b></a> from Studio Calico. I used the stamp set on a scrap piece of patterned paper and fussy cut each letter to add to my layout. I also used the <a href="http://shrsl.com/11rhx"><b>Here & Now Stamp</b></a> on a piece of White card stock and then cut it out, to layer over my photo. To complete the layout, I grabbed the Wild Child collection from Pink Paislee and embellished with a few stickers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey friends! It's been a while since I've had time to post on my Blog, but I'm back today with a layout in my Traveler's Notebook! I have loved creating in my TN recently. It was something I wanted to do, but just didn't have the time over the past year, so I'm back at it in full force! For this layout, I used the NEW <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/626998923/the-road-trip-printable-can-be-used-for?ref=shop_home_feat_4"><b>Road Trip Printable</b></a> from The Cut Shoppe and the <a href="http://shrsl.com/11o04"><b>Born to Wander Digital</b></a> from Studio Calico.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are new to the Print & Cut feature on your Die Cut Machine, let me tell you, that it's really fun! Over the weekend Kelly Janes and I shared tutorials on our YouTube channels for Silhouette and Cricut Users. You can check out my video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oznUdxpxd6A&t=119s"><b>HERE</b></a>, and Kelly's video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmi65p0bD6E"><b>HERE</b></a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used Canon Matte Photo Paper for the Printable, and made sure to select the highest quality for printing. Once everything finished cutting on my Cameo, I decided which pieces I wanted to use in my layout. Since I did the Studio Calico digital in Black & White, I wanted to bring in Black & White pieces from the Printable and a few pops of color.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This layout documented a recent weekend trip to Laurel, MS, home of the HGTV Hometown show hosted by Ben & Erin Napier. It is the cutest little town, and we stayed in a Bed & Breakfast over Sweet Something's Bakery...highly recommended! I used an outside photo of the bakery and one of the photos from inside our room on the layout. I thought it would be fun to mix in small photos with the Road Trip Printable and SC Digital. The photos are a little over 1 inch wide.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before adding my embellishments to the right side of the layout, I used the stamp set from the <a href="http://shrsl.com/11o2h">Studio Calico Summer of Sketches</a> class, to add some lines in the background. I felt like it helped to ground the design, since I didn't use any patterned papers on this layout. I used the stamp again on the left hand side, for my journaling, and to add balance to the layout.</span><br />

I am super excited to join the awesome Moodboard Girls group! If you haven't had a chance to check them out, it's a group of talented crafters that post projects each month, based on a new Moodboard. You can find inspiration from each of the Designers by following the line up on Instagram, which I'll have later in the post.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is the Moodboard for this month!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This Moodboard has some pretty shades of Pink, and that was the first thing that stood out to me. But once I looked at it a bit more, I decided to go in a totally different direction and take inspiration from the sea bird and sea oats. That took my layout idea to a beach vacation themed page.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmrwT5YadPSeuFErggfhxt-q69zuJwrIligxGiSj187N2LLY64eRcqndfR8Co71m-TWFKDwtfnU72861PDqnhRbtCGnd8DVltDLWRB79O8hcNqQbCuwOXfHLZPHdYDOPbKqSOuNSLUvq4/s1600/Vacation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1244" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmrwT5YadPSeuFErggfhxt-q69zuJwrIligxGiSj187N2LLY64eRcqndfR8Co71m-TWFKDwtfnU72861PDqnhRbtCGnd8DVltDLWRB79O8hcNqQbCuwOXfHLZPHdYDOPbKqSOuNSLUvq4/s640/Vacation.jpg" width="616" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used the Here & There collection from Crate Paper, because it's a great travel collection. Then I cut the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/576828104/the-outburst-cut-file-is-a-background?ref=shop_home_active_37"><b>Outburst</b></a> cut file from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheCutShoppe"><b>The Cut Shoppe</b></a> from my background paper. I used a mix of the 6x6 patterned papers to back the cut file. I also placed my photo in one of the open spots of the cut file to keep a clean look on the layout.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5iOPQHQSKwdHmzH0CtJVCHy40_4x24UqHNBzdEjcebjo7_2emj_G2hFrH2pDwSmhHLqdRcN-xtOS3t3nptly5wHAjjUCwc0lmyxthi2GZo_PEYz_qicu2yzxd21SM0o_MEjJt-UCr2Bg/s1600/Vacation1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="850" data-original-width="1200" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5iOPQHQSKwdHmzH0CtJVCHy40_4x24UqHNBzdEjcebjo7_2emj_G2hFrH2pDwSmhHLqdRcN-xtOS3t3nptly5wHAjjUCwc0lmyxthi2GZo_PEYz_qicu2yzxd21SM0o_MEjJt-UCr2Bg/s640/Vacation1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my title, I used Thickers from the Here & There collection, and placed a letter in each spot of the cut file. Then I added embellishments next to some of the letters. I also used a mix of embellishments in the center of the cut file to add interest and dimension.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrNd4-L-S9fs811gQ9R7dybUkwEHbNX_PuU746A0UCkZaK1zF8wOL5DGpKQ-jP2h1jpf23aKTwnKsBT6TNGieE8XZE_8FJX63z-uFJLi8IxLmLXDq4zSA8dkmXxHxCr5rOyJExuwgx0RU/s1600/Vacation2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="850" data-original-width="1200" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrNd4-L-S9fs811gQ9R7dybUkwEHbNX_PuU746A0UCkZaK1zF8wOL5DGpKQ-jP2h1jpf23aKTwnKsBT6TNGieE8XZE_8FJX63z-uFJLi8IxLmLXDq4zSA8dkmXxHxCr5rOyJExuwgx0RU/s640/Vacation2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had so much fun being inspired by the April Moodboard, and I hope you've found some inspiration in my layout. If you create a project based on the mood board make sure you share it on Instagram and use the hashtag #moodboardgirls, so we can leave you some love!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now make sure you follow the line up, to see what everyone else created!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Welcome to the <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/blogs/pinkfresh-studio"><b>Pinkfresh Studio</b></a> A Case of the Blahs Blog Hop! The Design Team is here to share some inspiration using one of the newest collections from PF Studio. You should have arrived here from <a href="http://myshinystudio.blogspot.com/"><b>Beata Valint's Blog</b></a>. If you're just starting out, make sure you head over to the <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/blogs/pinkfresh-studio/pinkfresh-studio-a-case-of-the-blahs-blog-hop"><b>Pinkfresh Studio Blog</b></a> for the beginning of the Hop.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As a scrapbooker, I have the tendency to only scrapbook the "pretty" photos from life...but we all know that life isn't always pretty. A Case of the Blahs offers great products to use for those times in life that may not be unicorns and rainbows. You still have beautiful products in the collection, but they give you the opportunity to document every facet of life, other than just those happy moments.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I'm photographing the kids, I never know what kind of photos I'll end up with. Sometimes they are cooperative and other times we just take what we can get. HA! I had an outtake photo from a tree photo shoot of our middle daughter, with her best pouty face and knew the papers and embellishments from A Case of the Blahs would be perfect with it.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided to create a vertical design on this layout. I printed the photo a little larger than I normally do and kept it in Black & White. I wanted to use a lot of the b&w embellishments from the collection to contrast with the pops of color from the background paper. And I added in a few colorful embellishments to break up some of the b&w.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I created two layouts using the Let Your Heart Decide collection. I had a hard time deciding what products to work with from the collection, because it's all so beautiful!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Welcome to the <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/"><b>Pinkfresh Studio</b></a> Playing Favorites Blog Hop! </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You should have arrived here from the talented <a href="http://myshinystudio.blogspot.com/"><b>Bea Valint's Blog</b></a>. </span>The Design Team has some fun inspiration for you, as we all share our favorite things! I decided to focus on two favorite things...the Dream On collection from Pinkfresh Studio and Disney World (our favorite vacation spot)! </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Dream On collection is great for everyday layouts! I love all of the bright, happy colors, and they were a perfect match for our photo with Mickey and Minnie! Since the collection itself, didn't I have a Disney theme, I decided to create my own Disney look with a large stitched Mickey outline shape. I used Black embroidery floss for my stitching, so the image would stand out from the background paper.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once I was finished with the stitching, I placed my photo in the center of the Mickey shape. Then I started filling in all of the inside space with embellishments from the collection. I mixed the ephemera pieces, leatherette pieces, chipboard pieces and puffy stickers, to create a lot of dimension and texture on the layout.</span><br />

We don't get many of those this far south, so we have to take advantage of the opportunities when the cold weather makes it down to us. Thankfully, we had a cold night in November and we all had a cup of hot chocolate. Since it was a pretty cute cup of hot chocolate, I snapped a photo and documented it with the fun FaLaLa collection from <a href="http://crate.typepad.com/"><b>Crate Paper</b></a>!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG8LFfWkS4Obg-OylXm96Bt5wwG8-Y1v3Nx61nWduYu1__v-GMeIe3qXFmdwQzjZy32RiGlCUb_eefb9D6H4aadfjMSrkHSs1OS7OiRs9npFCfb_h34cStfkmvctYdM311pHPOXu8Nb94/s1600/Yum.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="801" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG8LFfWkS4Obg-OylXm96Bt5wwG8-Y1v3Nx61nWduYu1__v-GMeIe3qXFmdwQzjZy32RiGlCUb_eefb9D6H4aadfjMSrkHSs1OS7OiRs9npFCfb_h34cStfkmvctYdM311pHPOXu8Nb94/s640/Yum.png" width="638" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to create a banner look, so I cut the FaLaLa words from the Festive paper and arranged them on the background paper at an angle. Once I had them in place, I machine stitched through each one to add some texture. I loved the FaLaLa banner in the Chipboard Stickers, so I placed it in the center of the page, next to the photo.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Snowflakes embellishments are one of my favorite things from this collection! Sadly, I've already used them all up! HA! I placed one at the end of the FaLaLa paper strips, on the left and right side, to anchor the look of the banner. I also used two of the snowflakes from the Chipboard Stickers to add at the end of the other two paper strips. I wanted less dimension on the Chipboard Sticker snowflakes, so I peeled away several layers of chipboard on the back side, to make the embellishment sit flatter on the layout.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finished the layout with the title, "YUM", using the Joy Thickers. Then I added several pieces from the Ephemera Pieces, Stickers and a few more Chipboard Stickers. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can find the FaLaLa collection in some of your favorite online shops!

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Christmas Magic patterned paper is great for giving you a head start on your layout! I love that it already has the "Christmas Magic" sentiment and cute ornament printed on the paper. I placed my photo near the ornament and under the words, which helped me with the placement of all of the other elements on the layout.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I kept everything else on the layout in a diagonal design. Since I love to use cut files on my layouts, I cut some snowflakes to embellish the layout. I used one of the papers from the 6x6 paper pad for the larger snowflake and some White card stock for the smaller ones. I layered the large snowflake under my photo and scattered the smaller ones throughout the rest of the design.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I combined the Chipboard Alpha Stickers, Foiled Woodgrain Sticker and a die cut word for the title. I love to mix different alphas and textures to add interest to my titles. I finished the layout with a few ephemera pieces, wood buttons and puffy stickers!</span><br />

It's always good to start off the week, with a fun new collection from <a href="http://crate.typepad.com/"><b>Crate Paper</b></a>! The Good Vibes collection has some awesome patterned papers and embellishments and I used them to create a cute, girly layout with a photo of our daughters from a recent trip to Disney World.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxfR2MOPylmz6IJ22KP4pmF-aGK0ddoxWPvzzSUslTBD2fUT2v5FA3AiO_4sHOGPVr4t_k7o9YroHh9dhXNqkww3vTvu-fER6qfcEcj7swHEl3MLXVyigJU1Ee8dXgPJS26PsJkxBzJdY/s1600/You+%2526+Me.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="800" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxfR2MOPylmz6IJ22KP4pmF-aGK0ddoxWPvzzSUslTBD2fUT2v5FA3AiO_4sHOGPVr4t_k7o9YroHh9dhXNqkww3vTvu-fER6qfcEcj7swHEl3MLXVyigJU1Ee8dXgPJS26PsJkxBzJdY/s640/You+%2526+Me.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The patterned paper that I chose for my background, did most of the work for me on this layout. It already has a mixed media kind of look, and I loved the mix of colors too. You could turn this paper in any direction and it would still look awesome!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR6bCRwRrNjZ1lHubTLYXw4P__G7xYVX1g_YtmJ_uPJqm4JZ66IhKfUtkQgHAv7MADPWPrenSddiCsm4hgBqGjgSRZtfkToVTxJ7qlnjGs_oq0wAv4qt2twwCFOoHWHlO4fOjUAQAtb3w/s1600/You+%2526+Me1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR6bCRwRrNjZ1lHubTLYXw4P__G7xYVX1g_YtmJ_uPJqm4JZ66IhKfUtkQgHAv7MADPWPrenSddiCsm4hgBqGjgSRZtfkToVTxJ7qlnjGs_oq0wAv4qt2twwCFOoHWHlO4fOjUAQAtb3w/s640/You+%2526+Me1.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The rest of the layout was really easy to put together. I wanted it to have a free-form kind of design. I decided where I wanted the photo and then went with the rest of the design from there. The large ampersand from the Ephemera Pieces adds a great contrast and texture, being placed near the photo. And I used it to complete the title of the layout.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I completed the look of the layout, by alternating different types of embellishments from the collection, such as ephemera, chipboard, and stickers. I also placed pop dots behind some of the embellishments to add dimension. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Welcome to the <a href="https://altenew.com/"><b>Altenew</b></a> October 2017 Release Blog Hop! I am excited to join in with fellow Scrapbookers and bring you inspiration using the new "Our Family" Scrapbook collection. You should have arrived here from the talented <a href="https://vibgyorkrafts.blogspot.com/"><b>Erum Tasneem's</b></a> Blog. If you're just now joining in the Hop, you can also visit the Altenew <a href="https://www.altenewscrapbook.com/?p=18719"><b>Scrapbook Blog</b></a> or <a href="http://altenewblog.com/?p=19701"><b>Card Blog</b></a> to get started.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I loved working with the new "Our Family" Scrapbook collection. There are so many fun, bright colors and lots of embellishments to work with. I used the collection to create a layout with a photo of our oldest daughter, from a recent weekend trip.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I loved the color and diagonal stripe on this patterned paper, so I knew it was perfect for my background paper. It's always fun to follow a diagonal design, and I love the way it turned out on this layout. I mixed some of the wood pieces, chipboard pieces, die cuts, enamel dots and stickers to complete my layout. I love to mix a bit of everything!!</span><br />

And one of our favorite fall family activities is the fair! The kids love the rides and the fair food is always so good...even if it isn't good for you. The <a href="http://crate.typepad.com/"><b>Crate Paper</b></a> Carousel collection by Maggie Holmes, is made for documenting fair photos. I combined it with a fun cut file, to create multi-patterned paper look on my layout, today.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT2YEaHmoEVz2_jpF54ve9INvk92I4SHGSLPEPlOoLqjGGnjFP-HagHuTWom6NMxrb1Sozlz8B1JSHPXTcCNubaWbsG_EgxyMzP9WVO5bQPhb4SekpfImXHdptz80MilKxyqZEvGaUr6Y/s1600/Fun+Times.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="800" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT2YEaHmoEVz2_jpF54ve9INvk92I4SHGSLPEPlOoLqjGGnjFP-HagHuTWom6NMxrb1Sozlz8B1JSHPXTcCNubaWbsG_EgxyMzP9WVO5bQPhb4SekpfImXHdptz80MilKxyqZEvGaUr6Y/s640/Fun+Times.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I cut the cut file design in two different sizes, and then backed each of the open spaces with a different patterned paper. Once I had that finished, I layered the two cut files, adhering the smaller one with pop dots for dimension. I placed my photo near the bottom right-hand corner, and layered it with the title. Then I tucked in a few other embellishments to draw attention to the photo.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I created a second cluster area at the top left-hand corner of the layout, to give the page balance. Those cut flags from the chipboard sheet were a must have on the layout! And I couldn't leave off the adorable ferris wheel chipboard embellishment! I also worked in some of the puffy stickers, to add more interest to the layout.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When I thought I had everything finished, I spied the cute Sticky Note Banner Shapes and had to find a way to incorporate them. The scalloped half circles fit right in, tucked under the edge of the outer circle, and I love the way it turned out!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can also find ways to use the Carousel collection for everyday photos and special occasions. It would be great for a girly themed birthday layout! </span>Ashley Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00231841700946368129noreply@blogger.com2
