Sharon's August Layouts!

Hi everyone!  Welcome August!

Today is the day I have been looking forward to all month.  It's the time I get to share 3 new layouts with all of you!  My pages for the month of August all have a family theme  - I want to honor and preserve my family photos and share with you how wonderful (and easy!) it is to make layouts that mean something to you!

So without further ado, here they are:

Layout #1:  Life is Full of Surprises

I used a photo that I took of my daughter, Anne, in 2012.  She loves to ride her bike,  and on this particular afternoon, she got on her bike while she was still in her dress that the wore to church.  I have hidden journaling about this tucked under the photo.

For this layout, I used the gorgeous "Tattered Walls" collection.  I really love all of the beautiful paper in this collection.  This particular paper is entitled "The Sun Room."  

Here is a close up:

As you can see, I stamped and embossed directly on the edges of my page to bring your eye directly to the photo.  I also embossed my chipboard with Buttercup embossing powder.  You have to try Blue Fern Studios' embossing powder - it is a dream to use!!!

Here is another view:

Layout #2:  Fabulous

Here, I used a photo of my niece, Sarah, age 3, and my daughter Katie, age 8, taken for Mother's Day in 1997.  

This time, I used the beautiful and versatile "In the Mood" collection.  I love how the pinks and reds of the paper go perfectly with the pinks of Sarah's and Katie's dresses.  

To give you a better look, here is a close up:

Layout #3:  Our Family

This layout features the very gorgeous Tattered Walls collection.  The paper is entitled "The Carport."  (I have said this before, but I really love how each of these papers are named after a room!)  

For this layout, I featured photos of our immediate family that were taken for our Christmas photo this past year.  I especially loved using the small chipboard frames embossed in gold and the gold Lace 9C to emphasize and clearly define them.

Here are some close ups:

I stamped and embossed the edges of my paper with the "Night Sky" embossing powder.   I also embossed the chipboard "solar dangles" with Night Sky EP.  This EP is spectacular and goes perfectly with this patterned paper.

May Inspiration With Debbie, Featuring Tranquility

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today sharing three layouts created with the new  Tranquility paper collection, Chipboard, and flowers.  I really enjoyed working with the new papers.  The muted tones in the Tranquility paper collection were a perfect match for some added vibrant pops of color.


 My first layout features the Blissful side B paper.  I added some random stamping with the Serendipity Medley and Romantic Accents stamps and misted with the Imagine Ink Winter Mint Mist.    The layers under the photo are from Calling Cards, Serenity and Patience. I also added flowers from the new Tranquil Blooms, Tranquil Lilies and Courtship Blooms.

I used the new Jubilation Corner Chipboard and embossed it with a mixture of the Mushroom, Melon, Cotton Candy and Sea Mist embossing powers. Aren't the new flowers pretty!!


To the right of my photo I used the Butterfly Friends, embossed with the same embossing powers that I used on the Jubilation Corner.

My title Serenity is from the Serenity, Calm, Hushed Chipboard set which I inked dark brown.

On each side of the photo I used the Tranquil Foliage Chipboard, embossed with Auburn, Chili Powder, Mushroom and Sage Imagine Ink Embossing Powders. I added some dimension with  some Imagine Ink Tangerine Glitter, gold micro beads and chunky glass glitter.

Here I placed a Royal Monarch Butterfly chipboard which I embossed with a mixture of Auburn, Chili Powder, Mushroom and Sage embossing powders.

The title Peaceful was embossed with a mixture of Auburn, Chili Powder, Mushroom and Sage embossing powders.

I framed the photo with a Mini Frames shipboard with I embossed with a mixture of Imagine Ink Mushroom and Bonny Blue Embossing Powders and added some Imagine Ink Blue Ice Glitter.  The longer layer beneath my photo was embossed using the Bourbon Street Stamp and Mushroom and Bonny Blue embossing powders.


To the left of the photo I used the new Scalloped Border chipboard, embossed with Mushroom and Bonny Blue embossing powders.  I added some pink ink and micro beads.  The same treatment was used on Doodle Corners chipboard placed at the top and bottom, left side of the photo.


My title Stillness was lightly inked blue.
