Layout for June 9, 2011

Hi Thursday Layout Chicks

Our pages today are all about Dad. The paper collection is the The Paper Company-if you are local to Seattle they have it at Ben Franklin in Redmond.

I also did a trip to the hardware store for these pages using 2 different sizes of metal washers. They add such a cool looking texture and shine to the pages.

I used my Cricut to cut the title- the cartridge is Designers Calendar. You could absolutely do the same type of title using sticker letters or Thickers.

I hope you are having a great week!

Layout for June 2nd 2011

Hi Layout Chicks

Sorry I am late again this week- I have been having trouble getting files to upload in the evenings- sometimes I get very cranky with our Comcast high speed connection!

This week's page is one of my favorite color combos- Red, White and Blue. You can definitely use these pages for Memorial Day photos, 4th of July or really any summer snapshots.

I did some faux stitching around the denim patterned paper- I show you how to do that technique in the video below. I love to do real stitching on my layouts, but I also like figuring out ways to get that same effect without dragging out my sewing machine. I also used some flat metal star charms from my stash - old ones by Making Memories. You could also use some punches, die cut some shapes or use a dimensional embellishment in those spots.

Enjoy!

Kerry
