BasicGrey: Sick Day (Mint Julep for NSD)

Did you get to celebrate NSD? My weekend was spent at a swim meet and the ballpark...making memories, right?:) I did have a layout go up on the BasicGrey Blog for a NSD challenge. It's not too late to enter. The challenges are open until the 10th and you have a chance to win a $25 gift card to the BG online store.

About my layout:

The Mint Julep Collection is so soft and sweet, perfect for baby or girl layouts. There are so many pretty patterns that I couldn’t decide on which ones to use…so I used several. I punched circles in varying sizes to create a splattering of color and pattern. I also mixed in a few Candy Buttons and spattering of paint. To frame the photo I used the decorative flaps from the envelopes. 

Here are a few of the supplies I used for this layout:

New KI Memories: Sunshine

Here's a new layout that was featured on the Hampton Art/KI Memories Blog a week or so ago. It's all new KI Memories Mini Celebrations!  Isn't that Sunshine paper amazing? It's heavy enough to use as a background. To highlight one of the phrases I put patterned paper behind one line. Super simple on the embellishments...I cut arrows from the patterned paper and punched circles others. The transparency helps separate the photos from the backround in a light and airy way. And then I finished it off with a coule fun Ruffles stickers. Love the colors!

What I bought today...

I admit. I'm pretty picky about what scrapbook products I buy these days. I just have so much. I didn't use to be that way, and I suppose that's why my storage is now bursting at the seams. But, sometimes I just can't resist. It's acutally been a while since I've ordered....but here's what I had to have today...

Doesn't that make you want to scrapbook?

This: The Layout

This month our focus was on the PHOTOS. I immediately thought of my Instagram prints and wanted to use as many as possible. I created a page cover with product packaging and filled with it tinsel. I embellished on top and inside it. You can read more about the layout here and see the full supply list.

KI Memories (Flashback): Best Birthday Ever

This one isn't actually new...but new on my blog at least. I went very pop dot crazy with this one. Stickers popped up off the page make me happy. So much cuter than flat stickers. Love how Flashback can easily be arranged to work for a girly layout.
