Layout for Thursday December 30, 2010

This week is a Year in Review layout, and I included a printable set of the song lyrics for Season of Love from RENT.
There is space for 12 photos or journaling, so you can put something for every month of the year.
There is no technique video this week, but I did include a cutting diagram for 2 of your papers.
Thanks!

Layout for December 16th

Happy Friday to our Layout Chicks!

I hope that you enjoy this fun Christmas Page with the Everybody Loves Christmas collection by Echo Park Paper Company. You can use any 3-4 patterns to re create these pages.

The really great thing about this layout is that it has an accordion pull out piece for an extra 9 photos on your layout. It is the perfect thing for all of the Christmas pictures.


This layout is available as a kit for purchase on the Blog- over on the right margin.

The video has step by step instructions for creating the accordion piece.

Have a great week!

Layout for December 9th

Hello Thursday Layout Chicks!

This week brings a beautiful Christmas page- using one of my favorite paper lines this year from My Minds Eye- Holly Jolly. Beautiful colors, beautiful patterns, really the perfect backdrop for my Christmas photos.

Watch the video to see how the pages are put together and I also gave some tool recommendations if you need to add a few things to your gift list this year.

If you want to purchase the pages you can do that right here on our members only blog- over on the right margin.

Have a great week!

Layout for November 25th

Happy Thanksgiving Layout Chicks!

This week is a page ready for your favorite Thanksgiving photos, all about Giving Thanks. I used some really beautiful paper from Upsy Daisy Designs that is that perfect backdrop for your pics.
Our technique this week is Faux Chipboard. I cut out the title 4 times from cardstock, then glued all of the pieces together for a wondeful dimensional effect.
I also included a pattern for you to create your own library pocket. I love these pockets, they are the perfect way to hide some journalling on your layouts.

If you want to purchase a kit of this layout, the information is on the right margin of the blog.

I hope you are having fun today and taking lots of photos- especially of all of the prep work. I think that is what we spend most of our time doing on Thanksgiving!

Layout for November 18th

Hello Layout Chicks



This week is all about family- I think it is the time of year. I was inspired by this beautiful Pink Paislee tree paper, so I searched out a good family tree quote for the page.


The quote is printed on vellum- but you can also print it on cardstock if you would prefer. I used some of my favorite techniques, ribbon photo corners, Cricut letters and shapes, decorative brads, ribbon, etc. To see the recap about the pages and the techniques, click on the video below.

If you want to purchase a kit of these pages you can order them over on the side of the blog. You have the option to hold for pick up, ship now, or hold and ship.





Have a great week!

Layout for November 11th

Hello Layout Chicks

Here is this week's layout, it is all about Everyday Blessings.



I used some beautiful Fall paper by Lily Bee Designs, but you can easily change this one around to be a Birthday Layout, Anniversary, Christmas (I think I always suggest Christmas) or really any patterned paper that you like. I created the text piece and the poem for you, it is included with your instructions. The online video explains how to do the "white ink" type of text on your own.

You can also purchase this page kit at the members only price of $8. If you want your layouts shipped, I will ship the entire month's layouts in one box, you only pay postage once.

Enjoy the online video. I am still trying to work out how I can get the color better and make the video more clear.

Layout for November 4th

Hello Layout Chicks

Our layout this week is a fun Halloween layout. It features paper and stickers by Echo Park Paper Company- they have lots of great prints. You could definitely re-work this layout with any 3 patterns, Christmas, Beach, Birthday.

This week's video for our Halloween layout features some great sticker techniques.



Enjoy!
