New Basic Grey in the store!

Nicole here, back to share another page I made for Let's Capture Our Memories using

Basic Grey's Clippings & Paper Cottage lines.

First off, let me be totally honest - I used to be a HUGE Basic Grey fan - then for whatever reason, I was 'meh... now, I think I could be back lovin' it again! Especially with these 2 great lines! I could use Paper Cottage all the time!

for this page, I used mainly the Clippings line - with a few pieces of Paper Cottage to add a little colour:

I used my new Silhouette Cameo ( YAY!!! ) to cut the title out. Love the font BLACKOUT so I cut out the 2012 and pasted some scraps behind each letter. I added the ME with some black cardstock and one of the cute Jenni Bowlin tiny tab chipboard pieces I had picked up too!

 

I roughed my page up just a little by cutting a strip of the paper, rolling/tearing it a bit and adding a pop of colour behind it and stitching over all of it. I made a few flags with leftover stickers and paper and a couple toothpicks :)

I used more of my scraps and punched out a ton of confetti and seriously sprinkled it on the page. Used a bit of wet Tobow glue to stick it in place. I cut out some circles from one of my Paper Cottage papers and adhered them with 3D foam squares.

For the wave, I actually pieced these two papers together that way as I had already cut one of the whiteish circles from the main paper before and needed to make the page 12x12 ! lol

So, with a little paper and a lot of adhesives...lol, I finished the page! I hope you will check out some Basic Grey out at Let's Capture Our Memories... there is lots in stock right now!

For the love of Prairie Hill

Have you noticed the New Pink Paislee Collections in the store?  They totally caught my eye, and I think they look even better in real life.  As soon as I saw the Hilltop sheet from the Prairie Hill Collection, I knew I wanted to cut it into itty bitty pieces. 

I had a feeling I would  love it even more with a little cardstock showing through.  I used my paper trimmer to get nice straight lines, placed them evenly on the cardstock,then glued them down one by one.  Isn't that kite the cutest?

This is the design I ended up with. 

I apologize that the little stickers are difficult to read.  They say "They make life even sweeter" The white ink text reads: "There are sure to be a lot of laughs when our families are together"

I left the layout like this for several days, despite felling like something was missing. Then a couple of weeks later while showing it to a friend I realized what was missing.  I had the idea to add a few strips of jounaling to the top right of the layout.  So I pulled out some Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type, and added sentiments that were fun, matched the colours, and were appropriate for the photo of the family I was featuring on the layout.

Here's a close up of the Tiny Text stickers.

Here is the layout that is in my album today.  I feel as though the little journal strips finish it off much better, and add a little more character to a page that's all about a family that's full of character.
