Layout a Day in June - Catch UP!

#23 Cutie Pie - This layout was seriously the most fun layout I've done... it is 95% rub ons!!! I used almost an entire book of American Crafts rub ons on this page. The only product that is not a rub on is the paint I used in the background, the title alphas, the little strip of Dear Lizzy Sweet Strawberry patterned paper and the yellow scalloped ribbon beneath the patterned paper with a bit of stitching... oh, and the gemstones. This was SO fun, I definitely want to do this again!!! 

#24 Four Wheelin' with Papa 

#25 Hot Air Balloon Fest - Another fun page... I used some repurposed packaging for my painted circles in the background and a lot of bits & pieces from here and there. 

#26 Sweet Treat - photos are of my sweet little girl from 2 Summers ago... amazing how quickly they grow up! :) 

#27 UR Sweet & Stylin' - I used another Studio Calico Sunday Sketch as inspiration for this layout! I LOVE their Sunday Sketches!!! 

I will share #28, 29 & 30 Tomorrow!!!! It's hard to believe the month it's the last day of the month!

Layout A Day in June #10 - Friend or Foe?

Here's layout #10. This one was a bit tricky for me today... I usually have a design idea, story idea or an idea of what photos I'm going to use before sitting down at my scrap table. Today... none. I did some online searching and found this sketch at Studio Calico. It was a bit out of my comfort zone, but I decided to go with it after looking through some photos and coming across this one. I had the idea for the story a while back but never got to it. It's a bit personal and a bit out of the ordinary of things I scrap about, but it's good to challenge ourselves as well as to be real and authentic in our pages, although this is sometimes hard for me, but Stephanie had a good post about this very thing today which is maybe what helped me to just go for it. 

The little swirl flowers on the left side are from a little scrap of fabric that was in the May Scarlet Lime kit. I was inspired by the inspiration of the day at Scrapdango (thanks Lynn!). 

Thanks for stopping by today!
