Gossamer Blue | Love You Forever

 Well hi, it's time for a new Gossamer Blue layout!

I fussy cut this large floral piece from one of the 1 Canoe 2 patterned papers in the January Gossamer Blue Main Kit, then adhered it to this perfect polka dot paper.

I love the graphic mix of florals and dots :)

I kept the embellishing to a minimum; a few stickers that I added fun foam to for dimension.

I used my sewing machine to add a bit of stitching and added tangled thread tucked in behind the photo and embellishments.  Love that look of random threads.

I added the X O clips to the white space of the photo.  I really like adding elements on the photo when I can.

The love you forever stickers have special meaning; this is something my sister has always said to my nieces and nephews, and now she says it to Q.  You know the book, "I'll Love You Forever,"???  My sister discovered it many years ago and gave it to one of my nieces.  It's become a favorite in my family.

Gossamer Blue | 2017 TN Vol I

I made a quick walk-thru of my Traveler's Notebook so far.....

I plan to use Gossamer Blue Life Pages and Planner kits, along with a few items from my stash as I need them (doilies, washi, die cuts, etc.).

These were die cuts I made with Maya Road geo feather die for another project.  I also added in labels using my Dynamo label maker, and stamps from older GB kits.

This page is GB January kit items plus gold alphas from my stash.

I purchased a mega date stamp from Studio Calico last year, using it again this year because it's so fun :)  More GB January kit items.....

This is a sheet of patterned paper that I fussy cut to show the ups and downs I've been feeling about Jamberry, adding in enamels to further that feeling on the page.

I think it's nap time ;)

Maya Road | Grin

Hey there, I'm sharing a new 12x12 layout over on the Maya Road blog, please head on over there to read how this layout came together.  This was the first time I used dies to cut fun foam to create my own dimensional embellishments.  There's no turning back to pop dots now ;)

Say Cheese,

Gossamer Blue | 9 Sweet Months

Hi friends!  I have a new layout using the January kits from Gossamer Blue.  There is a mix of products from the new brand, One Canoe Two, and Crate Paper Heart Day.

I started the page by cutting the background paper and machine-stitching it back together so both sides of the paper are used.  This is one of my favorite ways to show both sides of a patterned paper.

I used tissue paper from my stash to mat the photo, adding in a few pieces of the same patterned paper and a Life Pages card behind it.

To embellish I used some of the awesome cork pieces, mixing them with stickers and Thickers for the title.  I also added some machine stitching to a few of the embellishments.

We received an awesome ephemera pack from The Reset Girl in the Life Pages kit, and I am hooked on her products!

Tangled threads were tucked here and there to tie in the stitching.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Reset, if ya need it ;)
