CrazyDaisy

It’s such a treat for me each time I get an email from one of our design team members. These ladies rock. I’m impressed with all they do and what seems to be an endless source of creativity. They make me want to dedicate more time to doing all things crafty.

Here’s some layouts from Grace:

1. A Mother’s Bliss

Sometimes shaped pattern paper are good as a template to create shaped from another paper. Such was the case for the blue pattern paper which framed my white cardstock. I love the My Mind’s Eye pattern paper in the kit but it didn’t work with the rest of my design, so I used it as a template, tracing it behind the blue pattern and cutting out the design, giving me a unique frame. I also repurposed “8″ stickers for my 2 S’s in the title.

2. Anniversary date

This is my two page spread for this month. Although I usually use 12×12 size, I thought that the pictures will look better in a smaller scale.
I used the back side of the My Mind’s Eye papers with a Kraft color background. I cut out the GCD paper to get the handcut flowers on this page. They served as my elements that created the visual triangle.

3. his hands

This is one of my fave pages right now. I love that I was able to finally document something that I love about my husband. We have this little routine to hold hands while driving. Of course he has one hand in the steering wheel and the other holding mine. I took that “physical” representation of love and journaled about the many ways his hands shows love for me and the kids. To create the page, I layered pattern papers and embellishments. I love the fancy black trim and used that to lead the eye to the photo. I made sure the title stood out a little bit more against the background, so I painted over the paper and then adhered the letters.

4. Little Miss Sunshine

This page was based on the sketch assigned to all the design team members, for Sketch Inpiration. I layered two papers here. Gotta love double sided papers, I used just one sheet here, representing both patterns in this page. I added the lines of circles with punched pattern paper and buttons.

5. Breakfast fit for a Queen

This page focused on one photo. A photo of my breakfast during Mother’s day of last year. I lined up pattern papers, border sticker and trim. I also added the rubon, flower and journaling block here.
