Session 8 Class 6


I found this cool gold flecked paper and some clear and gold "paper" in my stash that I wanted to use with this cool layout from Scrapbook Generations. It is a pretty easy layout to assemble. Just don't forget to take the plastic backing off of the clear and gold pieces. I accented this page with a gold foil Cricut title from the Flower Market. I added some sequins and some black glitter & gold foil tape.

Session 8 Class 5


This is an old paper pack, but such a cute one. This is Cherry-o from a few years back, but it has such cute paper I've been wanting to incorporate it into a class. I like this layout because it allows me to use the many pieces of patterned paper, yet it's not a busy layout. I accented the layout by using the polka dot embossing folder on the left side on the blue cardstock. I added some baker's twine and stamped some cherries for the bottom right page. I also stamped a few sentiments on cardstock to accent some pictures. Feel free to place them wherever you like.

Session 8 Class 4


The Making Waves paperpack is truly magical, it has some beautiful pieces of paper and the accessories are beautiful. My daughter keeps stealing all of the accessories off my desk so I have to go hunting for them. 

I took some inspiration for this layout from the seasonal expression catalogue by using the circles as scales on the right page. To combine it into a 2 page layout, I used an overlay from the Artbooking Cartridge. I cut out the left scales using the centre cut function and then used the outside border as a frame on the right page. I added some stamping to accent the page with the lovely mermaid, some bubbles and the super cute saying. This layout could become 2 1-page layouts as well. The picture placement is open for what works for your pictures as well.

Session 8 Class 3

I was saying goodnight to my son and the famous line "I love you to the moon and back"  from the wonderful book, Guess How Much I Love You, popped into my head. Lightbulb moment I guess as I had been struggling all day to come up with an idea for this weeks class. I played around with the CTMH stamp with the saying and the new Stargazer paper as I didn't want this layout to be overly gender specific. I like that the title box isn't overpowering the layout, but you can still see it since I used a mask to create the double coloured image. I random stamped the stars around the image and then adhered the moon with 3D foam. I used the star image from the Charming Cascades stamp set in the corners of the base pages and then completed the layout with a rocket and Saturn cut with the Cricut. As the rocket ship paper is quite busy, it was important to find balance and not have it crowd the page.
