As you can by the photos, I can never get a good photo the first try. It usually takes 10 tries just to get one shot where all the kids are smiling or at least not blinking, but I figured it makes a funny multi-photo layout. 😀

For this lo I used MME Union Square Favorite papers and diecut.

This lo was created for sketch challenge #68 on Let’s Capture these Sketches. I turned the sketch sideways so I could use horizontal photos instead of vertical ones. I’m also submitting this lo to Sketches in Thyme for their lo challenge (use any sketch) and Two Peas in a Bucket for the CHA challenge #1. TFL!

For this layout, I used Webster’s Pages Wonderfall papers, trim, bloomer, diecut sticker and alphas. I handstitched the “strings” on the balloones that overlap the striped paper.

Created based on Let’s Capture These Sketches Sketch#67. This lo will also be submitted to Sketches in Thyme, Scrap Whispers (use fabric and material) and Two Peas in a Bucket.

Review – My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found Collection

From their Wild Asparagus range to Tres Jolie to Lost and Found, one thing I’ve always loved about My Mind’s Eye is the heavy weight and texture of their cardstock. For this layout I used the Moments papers from the Union Square range. A great feature to this line is that they’ve already included glittered elements on the papers that really make the gorgeous details pop! I didn’t have any lettering that were the color I wanted, so I used white alphas by Pink Paislee, inked them w/distress ink and embossed them which created a really cool marbled affect.

MME also offers many items that coordinate with their products. There are trims, tags, buttons, brads, dimensional stickers, stamp sets and chipboard mini-albums that go with each range in this line. You can see more of their fantastic designs HERE.

I just created a single page, multi-photo layout using the BoBunny Midnight Frost Collection Pack. The package includes 18 sheets of double sided cardstock (2 each of 9 designs) and 1 accessory sheet with alphas and coordinating diecut shapes. This line has such gorgeous, deeply rich colors, that I was very impressed. I love how many of the papers have one side that is more muted and feature a distressed appearance, making them fabulous bases for layering. I also greatly enjoyed the accessory sheet that comes with the papers. Here’s what I created:

For this layout, I used the sketch provided on their blog for their Friday challenge. CLICK HERE if you’d like to create a layout for their challenge too. Hope you enjoy the Midnight Frost collection as much as I did! 😀
