GB | colorful circles...

this weeks layout share is another created for Gossamer Blue! June kits were filled with lots of bold colors and elements and of course, i took advantage of all the bits and pieces to create this page.

i used a mix of add-on and life pages add-on kits to complete this page design. Photos used are random, from my photo stash that were already printed. if printed photos in my stash have a purpose, i try to use them on a layout or project i have in mind. i don't like wasting printed photos.

adored all the circle embellishments and stickers this month. i've been wanting to do something like this for a while and finally was inspired. there was a great assortment of colors, which made this page that much easier to put together.

thanks for taking a peek, hope you have a lovely day... xo!

Gossamer Blue | she's so lovely...

hello again... i'm always amazed and pleasantly surprised when my GB page arrives. it's like Christmas or even birthday every monthly and i get so giddy when i go through everything and find an abundance of joy tucked into each bag... it's pure joy!

Junes main kit and digital cut files are fabulous and couples perfect with this months color palette. i opted to use the woodgrain pattern paper to showcase the images of my girl, smiling so pretty in the mirror-during one of our many shopping trips to Ikea.

the images were not so great. way too much yellow and a weird green color in the background of the images. so i toned down the color without losing character. looks so much better. plus, i'm a sucker for pops of color on a page... loved the teals, yellows and orange with the woodgrain background.

thanks for stopping by and i truly hope you've had a chance to pick up one of Junes amazing kits, if not more... you'll be creating for days, there's so much goodness :)

PageMaps + Maya Road | June sketch layout...

hey there, i've been trying to update this blog more regularly, but every time i turn around, life takes priority... and i'm totally fine w/ that. but i do miss sharing a piece of our daily happenings. i just need to find a happy balance to fit it all in. i need to work on that quick, b/c the kids will be on summer break in less that two weeks.

today's layout features an abundance of Maya Road embellishments using PageMaps June sketch.

the sketch i selected below had a lot of linear detail with some randomness tossed in, which i loved a lot. i pretty much kept to the design overall but decided to flip the sketch to create my page with textured details...

i used an embossing folder on the chipboard alphabets... a quick and simple way to add a bit of texture to an element or page.

the metal "hello" embellishment was part of a quote bubble that i removed with flush metal cutters.

have a lovely day... happy creating, xo!
