2 Years Layout

On
Wednesday 23 November 2016

Hello! Today I'm sharing this layout I made recently to celebrate my little Pip's 2nd birthday. I knew I wanted to use that '2' card which came in an old Messy Box, and so I worked my layout around that 3x3 card. I tried to experiment with lots of colour and texture and I quite like how it turned out. It did take me longer than usual to put together though, but I think this is because I used many different items from my supplies and tried to tie them all together through coordinating colours. I definitely think I will experiment with the 3x3 size more often!

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a recent layout I made using the new set, Gather, released by Sahin Designs. I had so much fun putting this together and I've completely fallen in love with circles and my Fiskar's hole punch. I decided to use the enamel dots that came in the Gossamer Blue September kit and some pink tissue paper circles from a very old Messy Box. And, of course, it wouldn't be complete without some gold glittery alphabet stickers! I think I may have to use tissue paper for layouts more often...

If you'd like to check out the Gather collection, you can find it on Elif's store here.

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a layout I made using my new Fiskar's hole punch. I have to say, I absolutely love this punch and cannot recommend it enough - how I made layouts before, without circles, is beyond me! I'm planning on doing a review of it soon so keep an eye out for that.
In this month's Quirky Kit, we received a lot of papers from the Indigo Hills collection by Pinkfresh Studio which has a lot of light pinks, indigo and mustard hues. I particularly loved the pink paper with the flowers on and knew I wanted to use that as a base for my layout. I didn't start this with an intention of being an anniversary layout, it just kinda happened, and I do really like it. I particularly love the pop of yellow in the corner from a Maggie Holmes paper I had - I just wish I had some more yellow embellishments to balance it out a little. Of course, I used my white alphabets and my gold embellishments - my absolute go-tos but I also experimented with that wood pattern paper from a paper pad I had too that I'd never used before.
