it's reveal time!! i wanted to pop in quickly with my layouts for the month before i head out for cha. i'll start with my main only LO for the month. =)
i love this photo of my littlest daredevil and i thought it would mix well with the softer tones of this kit. i knew pebbles bag would be perfect for holding a bit more journaling that i could fit on the page.
i took the journaling from my blog post about sam's playground adventure, and added a small photo to the strip as well. i did cut the bag down a bit, then stitched it shut across the bottom.
******************
this was made with addon 1, CLARKSVILLE. i started by placing the photo, the envelope and the polaroid cut from the dear lizzy paper. i dressed up the envelope with some patterned paper on the flap, and then added some misted stars and an arrow from the brad pack. i punched some stars from the polaroid paper and then backed it with the dear lizzy crepe. i stamped the background stamp with malted milk ink & added a few sequins, and cut a few shapes with my cameo and misted them with mister huey's heirloom blue.
******************
i'm also quite in love with the stamps from STEPPING STONE. i stamped the outline with black ink, and then i stamped the solid image with the same - i just stamped it off first so the image would be more faded.
from there, i cut bits and pieces from the number dear lizzy paper from LADY LANE and scattered them around the page, and then added typed journaling. i've been feeling a little melancholy about my littlest dude getting older, and this was the perfect page to record that. i misted the background little mister huey's cameo + shine. i also used some paper from the main.
******************
this was my "use all my favorite bits that haven't been used yet LO for the month. ;) i mixed together DAYDREAM BELIEVER + CLARKSVILLE, LADY LANE and STEPPING STONE.
i used grey paint on the stamp from clarksville for a tone on tone look w/ the background - i also used it on the solid letter stamps, and then went over it with the outlines in black ink.
