Layout {You Have to Kiss a Few Frogs...}

Where has the summer gone!? It seems like I'm always trying to figure out where time always vanishes to! I'm just grateful for all the pictures to remind me of where the time goes and all the sweet memories we've made along the way. :) 

This layout is of my oldest during Easter. She got a stuffed frog from the Easter Bunny. ;) She grabbed it and started to kiss it, making us all laugh, such a silly girl. The line from Simple Stories- Enchanted was perfect for this picture! I used sketch #145 from Sketchabilities and decided to combine it with a challenge from My Scraps & More. 

A close up of some of the embellishments and techniques I used on this layout. I did some faux stitching, fussy cutting, misting, along with some distressing. Isn't the frog just adorable! 

 Here I used a heart stencil and some gesso, along with some gelatos. I stamped some stars from Sweet Stamp Shop, directly onto the picture. I love the cute little heart & flower embellishments.

Moxxie {Love}

Good Morning! I have another layout to share with you! I used Moxxie's line Autumn Glory on a previous layout and totally fell in love with the gorgeous line. If you still haven't looked at it please take a minute to check it out HERE. Here is my layout.

I just love the elegance of this line. I cut off a quarter inch off the top and side of the top sheet, did some inking with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressing ink around the edges and layered it on top of a sheet of Doodlebug cardstock. I used some other sheets from the same line to layer the picture and create the side banners along with embossing and sanding down one the layers under the picture. Here's some close up's of some the embellishments and details.

For my journaling tag I used some 3D-Dots along the edges of the picture to pop it up and create a little slotted area for my tag to slide into.

Thanks so much for stopping by! :)
