Gossamer Blue | December Memories blog hop...


Hey Hey, Hello!

can you believe Christmas is around the corner? i'm surprised it's creeping up as fast as it is... but super excited at the same time! i'm not even done with all of my gift shopping. i fell a little behind this year, but as usual, i look forward to find the 'hope it's the right' gift for our love ones! none the less, the holiday's always put me in the spirit of creating and that's documenting our lives throughout for 25 days with the ever so awesome December Memories kit, YES!

i've had a lot going on these last few weeks and haven't had the chance to really sit down to create my fondation pages. so, i decided to keep it simple and just create each daily page as i go. sometimes the pressure of getting all the foundation pages done can be overwhelming let alone trying to make sure that days photo fits the page inserts. trying to rearrange everything can be a bit time consuming. that is why i've decided to just go with the flow without the stress of feeling overwhelmed. i'm really looking forward to how we spend our 25 days of holiday cheer.


today, i have my album cover and cover page completed... i used the exclusive stamps and plastic word embellishments to decorate my cover page. i really love the look. love the angle of the thick pattern and the continuous flow.



tone-on-tone is a favorite technique of mine when creating projects. I went with that look for my cover page and will continue to do so throughout my entire album... giving the album a cohesive look along with keeping it simple.

good luck with your own December Memories album this year and have fun documenting your holiday memories. continue on over to Diane's blog for more holiday inspiration

gossamer blue | a Christmas layout...

YAY, it's finally Friday :)

this months there were two beautiful theme kits, life pages themed add-on (sold out!) and December themed add-on. each kit is filled with a mix of pretty Christmas colors where you can mix and match to your liking. perfectly coordinates with Gossamer Blues December memories kit, which i LOVE! i really enjoyed playing w/ these two kits and have a few other projects in the works using both, which i'll share later this month...


my "Oh Snap" layout uses both of December themed add-on kits. i love these photos of my friend Penny and i. we had such an awesome time last year during our photo booth session at the Craft Mafia exhibit in Richmond.




are you inspired? be sure to take a gander in the shop and pick up your December Themed add-on kit, there's still a few left... xoxo!

GB | November layouts + December Memories sneak peek...

good morning!!!

a few days late w/ my blog post... life got in the way, in a good way, so no time to sit down and share my projects. i'm sure most of you have already seen them in the Gossamer Blue gallery, but of course, i'm always eager to share on my blog. there was an abundance of products in the November kits, which completely inspired me to the fullest.



my first layout are of my parents w/ Corinne... giving goodbye hugs during one of our many visits. it's always wonderful to capture sweet, loving moments like these. i was excited to scrap these photos. i used the Main kit and digital die-cut files to complete this page. i love the Elle Studio exclusive heart stamp for Gossamer Blue, too. they gave a nice subtle contrast to the overall design with all the other heart elements throughout the page.




for this page, i used a mix of the add-on and bits & pieces kits. i was drawn to the pink background that i had to create a simple layout. this was one of those layouts that came together super fast. the Heidi Swapp bag of vellum, transparent and paper die-cuts was my favorite to use on this page. it is jammed packed with lots of embellishments.




lastly, i had more time to create an extra page this month using a variety of goodness from the life pages kits including printables... i centered the design around a trio of photos of my growing little man added layers of tags, 4x6 cards, stickers and stamped elements. love when pages come together so easily... a good sign of well made kits!!!



thanks for stopping by and i hope you join us tomorrow... December Memories class begins... here is a sneak peek from my own holiday album...
