LOVE TODAY/49 & MARKET

Good morning, friends. Happy Friday! I took the week off and it's been wonderful...my husband said to me that I haven't done anything and I said, sure I did! I scrapped a lot, read my book, watched Netflix and snuggled with my dogs! It's been great... I needed a little break. I'm sharing a 6x8 layout I created this morning. I like scrapping in the morning...it's quiet. I'm just about finished on my album using 49 & Market's Flower Emporium collection. I've been working on it for a few months now and I just love it! I plan on sharing a flip through video once it's done.


This layout was super fun to make. I LOVE orange and pink together... the color combo is so pretty! I backed the photo with the large chipboard frame and then used rub-ons to fill in the white space. Have you played with rub-ons before? They are truly addicting. 
I added the lace border to the side to make it more pretty. 
What do you think? What are your favorite color combinations? I'd love to know! Thank you so much for visiting today and I hope you have a fantastic weekend! 

Take care,

Nic

MASCULINE LAYOUTS/49 & MARKET

Good morning, friends! I've been working on an album for Edward. My plan is to document his hobbies, add some candid shots of him and school pictures. It's hard getting him to cooperate when it comes to having his picture taken, but I have a decent amount of photos to work with...teehee.

For these layouts, I am using 49 & Market's Rust and Revs collection. I love this first layout...it's super grungy and I love it. I added a few rub-ons to add some orange coloring on the left-side of the photo, along with chipboard and die cuts to add layers. LOVE the chain laser cut die. That was a last minute addition to this 6x8 layout and it was perfect.

I added the "Bold" rub-p sentiment to the tab after I inked the tab to add some coloring since it was white.
One of Edward's favorite places to eat is Five Guys. It's one of mine, too. Can you spot all the rub-ons? There are a few areas and I love how they look...I especially love the cluster of embellishments at the bottom.
I used foam squares to pop up the embellishments to add dimension.

For my third layout, I decided to get creative with the chipboard frames. I used one to frame the photo and cut the excess off at the end. Next, I cut the frame in half diagonally and added a pieced at the corner and top of the layout. This really makes the design of the layout pop, don't you agree?
I added a cluster of tags, die cuts, enamel dots and rub-ons on the left-side of the framed photo to fill in the white space. Aren't these pages great! I'm just sorry I waited so long to play with this collection...I've been hoarding it. Thank you so much for visiting today! Be sure to check out my YouTube channel in the next few weeks. I will have three masculine process videos using this collection!

MOMENTS TOGETHER 6X8 LAYOUT/PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO

Good morning! Nicole here with another 6x8 layout I created using the Love is Kind collection. This collection is perfect for documenting little kids...it's also perfect for birthdays, and pets! It's so versatile and cute.
I love how this collection matches their personalities...the picture is precious and so is this collection! I LOVE the large sentiments and I managed to work two titles on here without overdoing it...They help frame the photo nicely, don't ya think?
I used foam strips to pop up the sentiment to add dimension to the layout and added a few sparkling enamel dots from my stash. And I couldn't help it...I had to find a way to use the cherries! They are super fun!
I cut the "best together" word flag from the cut apart sheet to add next to the "US" title. The patterned paper really helped make this layout come together in a snap with just a few die cuts... I LOVE THAT.
I hope you found this layout inspiring. Sometimes, all you need is the right patterned paper and a few embellishments to document your memories. This layout turned out so cute and it brings a smile to my face. Thank you so much for visiting today!
