Lovely Pink Layouts with Lisa Andrews

Pink isn't usually one of the first colors that catch my attention when I'm creating, but this month the pinks in the Glitz Beautiful Dreamer line seemed irresistible.

This month the Glitz blog challenge is to use this color palette on a layout.

 

The pinks in the challenge plus the topic of a baby girl baby shower had me using as much pink as I could fit on this page.

This page started out as a regular 12 x 12 page, but it just wasn't feeling right. I decided to do something that I haven't done in years: make a 2 page 8.5 X 11 layout. This size was just right for fitting my pictures and leaving space to tell the story.

This page was so much fun to create. I layered long banner strips with tulle and then the photo. I sewed it altogether with hot pink thread. The little flags added a playful touch to the page and were a perfect spot to place the title. I wrapped the flags around pearl topped stick pins to add another bit of a feminine touch.

Another thing I haven't done in a very long time is type out my journaling. My handwriting just wasn't working on the page, so I trimmed down one of the Glitz papers, fed it through the printer and then cut the journaling into strips.

The inspiration for my second layout was the sweet "You are My Sunshine" card in the Glitz Whatnots. I love that song and wanted to use it one a page. The grid design with photos of my three kids plus the song card came to mind mind and I went with it.

For the title on this page, I cut this paper layer apart and pieced it back together to spell "I Love You."

Now that I have my sewing machine set up and running, I'm finding it hard not to add a touch of sewing to each of my pages and this one was no exception. I hand tore the hearts and then sewed them right onto the page.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my PINK layouts today.

Hugs & Kisses Cards with Kristii Lockart

Happy last day of January my friends!!  Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I'm totally inspired by all things red, pink, hearts and flowers!!  This month's Glitz Design Challenge fits right in with my Valentine inspiration and I am hoping that you'll join in on the fun!!!  The focus is on color:

  

I do have to say that this is one of my all time favorite color combinations and I thoroughly enjoyed playing along!!!  I really wanted to challenge myself to make a card using red as the main color, which would be a bit tricky since I don't currently have any red Glitz Design papers.  I was able to pull the red highlights out of aBeautiful Dreamer Whatnot using red cardstock and wrinkled ribbon.  I am thrilled with how it turned out!

I used a heart doily to add texture and create a shabby chic feel to the card.  The sentiment was made using Beautiful Dream Epoxy Stickers.

In this photo you can see that I layered a Peek a boo over the patterned paper to give the card depth and interest.

Supplies Used:

Glitz Design Beautiful Dreamer Patterned Paper: Polka

Glitz Design Beautiful Dreamer Whatnots

Glitz Design Beautiful Dreamer Peek a Boos

Glitz Design Beautiful Dreamer Epoxy Words

Other Supplies:  Papertrey Ink Rustic Cream and Pure Poppy Cardstock; My Craft Spot Wrinkled Ribbon; Button and doily from my stash

My second card is sweet and romantic....so very Beautiful Dreamer inspired:

I used Beautiful Dreamer Papers and a Whatnot to make the layered base.  I added a heart shaped doily and a Rose Whatnot to create the beautiful focal point and I added some ribbon, hat pins, and Filigree Border to embellish.

Supplies used:

Glitz Design Beautiful Dreamer Papers: Polka and Stripe

Glitz Design Beautiful Dreamer Whatnots

Other Supplies:  Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select White Cardstock, Friendship Jar Spring Filler Stamps, Double-Edged Banner Die and Filigree Border Die, My Craft Spot Wrinkled ribbon and Red Bakers Twine;  Floral Ribbon and Doily from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll join in the Glitz Design Challenge fun!!!

Wishing you a very Glitzy Day,

Kristii
