Social Media Butterflies Blog Hop: March

This month the Social [Media] Butterflies are featuring Glitz Design, and are so excited and happy to be included in the Uncharted Waters inspiration week. If you haven't checked out their blog, make sure you check it out now: http://glitzitnow.com/blog/

Here is the layout I created for this month's hop:

A couple of notes about the layout: 

• The photo is from outside the window of our airplane when we were coming home from Los Angeles. 
• The background is an Allison Kreft/Webster's Pages white chevron overlay on white cardstock
• The title was stamped (very carefully) with staze-on and then filled in a bit with a Sakura Microperm pen
• The wood veneers were painted with a the same Sakura Microperm pen

Layout: He Likes it Hot

Happy Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing a quick 8.5x11 layout. I used a silhouette cut-file from Studio Calico's Trendspotting class to cut out the triangles and placed two different sheets of patterned paper underneath the cut-outs. I added my photo, a little bit more paper, some stamping, and some handwriting.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the triangle pattern. The same look can be emulated with a craft knife if you don't have a die cut machine. 

To get the raised look, I used several foam dimensional dots around the outside of the die-cut cardstock to make it rise above the patterned paper. 

I layered two sheets of patterned paper underneath the cardstock to give the background a little bit more interest. 

And a little bit of stamping & handwriting at the bottom!

Layout: Who Killed Rosie Larson??

I'm super obsessed with AMC's The Killing. It's a drama centered around the murder of a 17 year old girl in Seattle, and they weave multiple complex stories throughout the narrative.

So tomorrow night we finally get to find out 'Who Killed Rosie Larson' -- which has been the show's tag line for the past two seasons.

In great anticipation for the season finale, I came up with this quick no-photo layout.

Close-up of the journaling:

I love when I remember to make quick pages about whatever stuff I happen to be thinking about right now.
