Gossamer Blue | note to self...

good morning... my blog post for Gossamer Blue went live yesterday. i created a non-photo page using a mix of September main kit, add-on and life page kits. the focus of my layout is just using words and surround them with 3x4 size journaling cards, pattern paper and plenty of embellishments to convey my story, my thoughts. something i hope to do more when pictures are not available or when the mood strikes. you can read more about my page on Gossamer Blue blog...

...xo!

Gossamer Blue | September kit layout...

hello September!!

so, if you haven't yet, you best get your hands on some Gossamer Blue this month. holy wow!!! the kit was all sorts of amazing with lots and lots of gold glam and fun embellies!

the September main kit is fabulous! what i loved more about it were the mix of graphic and whimsical patterns... the colors are fun, which screamed summer! i wanted to use every last bit of the paper, but had to pick only a few to complete my page. i added the large sunburst at top of page and machine stitched each piece for that bit of added texture to my page. the gold embellishments are perfect accents for my page, too.

i'm almost sad that summer is nearly over. we didn't spend a lot of time at the beach like i wanted to. but for the most part, we had a great time during our beach and lake visits the past three months. i'm looking forward to less humid days and lots more sunshine!

have a FAB week... xo!

Gossamer Blue | more September layouts...

happy Labor Day! hope you are enjoying the long three day weekend...

today, i have two more layouts i created using Gossamer Blue's September kits. yesterday, i shared my All That Drool layout on the blog using only the main kit contents and today, these two layouts use a mix of all the kits, bits&pieces, embellishment, main add-on, add-on #2 and life pages kits...

i used cut out circles and embellished the larger ones with stickers, labels, brads and printable images... i loved the blue ombre affect of the pattern paper, which went perfectly with the beach pictures i framed with chalkboard polaroid frames and added the clear sequence to compliment the circles against the stripes...

this next page, Us 3, uses more circle elements throughout the page. i wanted to use a lot of geometric shapes in the background and elements such as the chipboard arrows and hearts to complete the design...

i hope you had a chance to pick up this months amazing kits. it's my all time favorite and i still have plenty more to play with. you will not be disappointed... xo!

Gossamer Blue | September reveal...

hello there... i hope you're having a great weekend. so far so good here. we've been keeping busy... preparing for school to start on Tuesday, working on some home improvement projects and enjoying the company of our friends.

it's September 1st and that means Gossamer Blue kits are now on sale, YAY! this months kit is absolutely amazing, seriously! there is a LOT product to use and a set of Elle's Studio stamps in the main kit to boot. totally made me giddy!

my layout, All That Drool, uses everything from the main kit and digital die-cut files. i truly loved the black chalkboard accents throughout all the kits this month. to compliment the title treatment and embellishments, i used black stitching along the diagonal strips of blue tone patterns and layered with the bold red square background to frame my photos, journaling and title. love how it turned out.

 

thanks for stopping today. i'll be back tomorrow to share more GB layouts.... be sure to head over to Gossamer Blue to pick up your kit... xo!
