Welcome to another Wednesday and another layout + video!
This week I have more old photos that were in need of a new layout. In this series you are getting to see a lot of how I think and how I work. I am really on a kick to get the pages in my "re-do" pile scrapped and put back in their albums. The original page had fallen apart and because these photos tell an important story of what my daughter loved at age 2 I really didn't want them sitting in a pile in my craft room. I want them in her album for us to enjoy!
For the title on my page I used a download from the Silhouette America Online Store by Loni Stevens:
i_completely_adore_you_C00969_19547
Just a little FYI, this image (and all Valentine's related images) are only .75 for a limited time!
The main part of my journlaing was printed on yellow cardstock and tucked under the larger photos. I added a sticker strip, arrow sticker and a sewed on button to finish the bottom right corner of the layout.
The quote I had used on the original layout, printed on an October Afternoon sticker and placed on my page.
Die cut flowers are such a great accent for almost any project. Here I die cut the flowers from cardstock and ran them through the Big Shot with embossing folders to give them subtle texture before adhering them to my page.
Lots of layers add instant interest and texture to the page. I love tucking pieces here and there for a fun full page.

Thank you so much for that huge inspiration Nichol ! You just made my day. I have one question for you. I have a cuttlebug do you know if I can buy Tim Holtz dies and use it in my cuttlebug ?

Love love this layout! I joined Studio AE right after I started following your blog in march 2011. So I was a month late to get that stamp set. I have begged TT to make more for sale!

beautiful layout! Funny story about the "interesting" word. My whole family calls the TV remote a "merote" for the same reason - my son said it that way.
I'm hoping that Loni Stevens title will come in SVG for my cricut. It's super cute.

Ah Nichol I look forward to your videos every week. I have that file die and have never used it. You are inspiring me to use a lot of my tools and stash. Thank you..
Linda

Your paper choices for this re-do remind me of a quilt. The floral with the yellow gingham compliment each other really well. Not to mention that your little girl adds just the right amount of sweetness to the entire layout. Thanks for this weeks video. I've got a whopper ear infection but couldn't stay away. If you can post with a massive head cold then I need to be a trooper and watch your video in the spirit of friendship and appreciation!
Get some rest and feel better soon!

love your suggestion to go ahead and make lots of flowers to use up your scraps
I liked your 'interesting' pronounciation----my son had lots of cute sayings for words too and yes, we still say them.
great layout as always!

Wonderful wonderful video and layout again.

Nichol, do you use a typewriter for your journaling? If so, I bet that makes journaling so much faster being able to just stick the embellishment in there and go to town. I think I want a typewriter in my craft room!
Posted by: Rebecca B. | February 02, 2012 at 09:58 AM
no, I dont have a typewriter. I just use typewriter fonts and run things through my printer.

Thanks for your response.
