Through Aaron’s lens

Here is another layout that I have had in the works for quite a long time! This layout is based on the Lens Story Stamp from Ali Edwards.

I apologize for the quality of photos. I struggled with the lighting when taking these. Being a 2 page, made it even more difficult.

For this layout I used Shimelle's Box of Crayon's project pad to for the base of this layout. I then added the Tim Holtz metal number clips to label the photos my son took for this project.

I am trying to do some stash busting, especially with my 3x4 cards, so I dove into those to find some for my journaling as well as for an embellishment cluster. 

I stamped from many of my Ali Edwards' stamp sets, not just the Lens set. I know the "what I see" was from a Technique Tuesday set from my stash, and the "stuff I love" is from the Stuff stamp set.

The title cluster uses fussy cut cameras from Box of Crayons, stickers from the sticker folder that match, some enamel dots and a flair from my stash.

Love it when I can get multiple stamps on any given page, to justify my ever growing number of stamps! Thanks for stopping by!

Brave

This layout was inspired by Ali Edwards' Brave story stamp.

I used Shimelle's Glitter Girl project pad and stickers from her AC sticker book to create most of the elements on this page.

Featured many of the stamps in this set to create the page. I created the title as well as the embellishment circle elements. I fussy cut some florals from one of the patterned papers to embellish the page.

This heart stamp was a perfect description of my little girl!

Dove in my stash and found a few odds and ends like the decorative paper clip and yellow tag. Sprinkled some Heart enamel shapes and called this one done!

 Really love when I get stories like this recorded and love how the design turned out too! Thanks for looking!

Hello Adventure

This year I am all about finishing. Still have a pile of layouts that need to be finished, even after tackling it last fall and making great headway on it. I still have around 25 in the pile to finish!

Here is one of those layouts I finally finished. The base paper was part of a really old kit from a Disney class I took. I fit the stamping on the background as part of that class. Essentially this started as a base page. I found it in my Disney stash and paired it with a hilarious photo of my son in front of an Indiana Jones photo spot.

I couldn't figure out how I wanted to embellish or title this layout. I went on Pinterest in search of Indiana Jones quotes for a title. I found one, and it wound up looking like a 3x4 card embellishment, so I went back to the drawing board.

I decided to repeat the metallic look of the ball from the photo and die cut some metallic paper with some Tim Holtz dies and layered with some metal embellishments from him as well.

I then paired it with some matching metallic Thickers, one alpha to spell adventure and the hello came from a baby boy collection.

Stamped the date with a roller date stamp and called this one done!

Thanks for looking! Have a few more pages in the works to share here, so come back soon!
