Who doesn't love a good selfie...and even better a family selfie!! We try to take family selfies anytime we are traveling (if we can get everyone to sit still for 10 seconds). I have several photos from a trip in May that still need to be scrapbooked, so I chose this one of me with the kids and used three flair buttons from the Selfie Flair set in the A Flair for Buttons Shop.
I printed my photo a little under 5x7 and then used the Flair Buttons and a mix of product from the Dear Lizzy Documentary collection, to frame in the photo. I started the layout by doing a tone on tone die cut look with the background paper, using the You Gotta Have Heart background cut file from The Cut Shoppe.
I placed the Flair Buttons on three sides of the photo and then balanced the colors from the Thickers and embellishments around the four sides of the photo. I love the way the embellishments and flair buttons create different dimensions around the large photo.
You can stop by the A Flair for Buttons Shop and check out the Selfie Flair! It's great if your selfie photos just include you or a whole bunch of family or friends!

The new Documentary collection from Dear Lizzy went up on the American Crafts Blog last week, and I've been dying to share my first layout with you! This layout turned out to be one of my new favorites! I combined hand stitching with 9 different patterned papers from the collection. And I added machine stitching, for another texture on the page.
How To: Cut a large circle from the Wonder patterned paper and then layer it over the Me & You patterned paper. Stitch around the circle, with your sewing machine. Use Sketch Pens with your Die Cut Machine or trace letters for your title onto your background paper. Poke holes around each letter and then stitch using a variety of embroidery floss colors. Cut your title letters on your die cut machine or hand cut them and place in the center of each stitched letter. Use the Noted Thickers and the Cordial Thickers to complete your title. Add a photo on the right hand side of your layout. Punch circle shapes from the Confetti patterned paper. Machine stitch around each circle, then add them to the inside of the large circle. Finish your layout by adding Stickers around the outer edge of the circle.
