Good Co.!

Happy Friday! I'm so excited to be sharing my first layout for Write.Click.Scrapbook. The gallery was live yesterday, you can see it here WCS Gallery and I'm blown away by all the amazing layouts the team created.  Our challenge this month was based on creating a layout that reflect our "go to design", as you can see I created a layout that is very "me".  I do explain my process on the WCS website.


I used the awesome Hey You collection by Basic Grey, it is one of my fave BG release. I paired it with a CP paper for my background, which I embellished with chevron misted circles. Love the subtle effect of those circles.


I used a Silhouette cut file as a background to my title. I used a mist to color the cut file, I was going for a ombre color but that didn't really work out as I had planned. It's ok because I still like the result. I hope you'll take a moment to check out the gallery. 

Happy long weekend to all my Canadian friends and followers.

Perfect Fit

How I love this background paper by Sassafrass Lass, yes I've been hoarding some of my favorite Sassafrass items and this was one that was begging to be used. The circle template was cut using my Cameo and a cut file from the Silhouette online store. I did use a piece of white scrap cardstock that I had tried to use for a creative background of paint and glitter and turned out to be a mess, however when cut into this file it totally works. 


The title was created using the amazing POW glitter paper by American Crafts. I'm also hoarding this glitter paper (see a trend here..), it cuts beautifully with the Cameo. To create the title, I used a font of my liking, typed the words in the Cameo software and then welded the letters together, this took about 5 minutes to create, super easy and fast way to create a customize title. 


This layout also features the Hey You collection by Basic Grey, love the mix of muted colours with the pop of teal. I also used some Studio Calico butterflies (again that I was hoarding, hum I think I have a problem..) and some Basic Grey chipboard accent. So just another quick layout that was created in less than 2 hours, I feel very productive when I can accomplish this.

Shine with Basic Grey

I'm not sure how I could have missed this collection, but I just recently discovered the Hey You collection by Basic Grey, hello awesomeness!!!  This is another quick layout that I completed during Lex's nap time, I'm a girl on a mission, if it takes more than an hour to complete a layout I have to move on to the next one. So far it's working...


I only have the 6x6 paper pad, but that did just fine. I was still able to create layers, I actually love using the paper pads for layouts, I feel that I waste less paper. I also used the chipboard pieces and material stickers from the same collection, love the versatily of this collection. 


The butterfly was created using a large punch, I was too lazy to open up the Cameo, that's why I still love my punches, those lazy moments happen quite often. HA! The stamping to the right is created with a American Craft roller stamp, I'm really happy that they created this stamp without the date, I hope they will be releasing more of those, perhaps with little shapes, like a moustache, glasses, arrows...well you get the point. 

Happy friday folks!!
