Happy Together

Here is another layout featuring my daughter and her husband.  They took a selfie in September 2015 at the Mötley Crüe/Alice Cooper concert : )  Every time I look at photos of Brianne and John, I always think to myself how very happy they look together...

I'm a 'purpleholic' so this GORGEOUS Blue Fern Studios "Timeless" paper collection with its plum tones really grabs me!

I used one of the 'Calling Cards' from the collection to mount the photo.  The very bottom layer is from the backside of the Calling Cards page.  I love the rich brown-plum!

I incorporated some bronze colored metal pieces into the design, along with beautiful flowers : )

I stamped on both sides of the photo with the Blue Fern Studios "Essential Textures" brick wall.  I chose to heat emboss with Blue Fern Studios Imagine Ink "Oatmeal" for a subtle look.  I LOVE it, LOVE it, LOVE it!

Want2Scrap chipboard words were used for the title and inked in a beautiful Raisin colored pigment ink. 

The late 60's song by the Turtles "Happy Together", with all of its lyrics and music, would not quit playing in my head so I had to play it from YouTube! LOL   I love this happy song.  So, I included some of the lyrics on the layout!  I chose these words from the song because they are so fitting of Brianne and John.

The printing on this paper is so stunning that it well deserves to be part of the whole design, which is why I decided to not punch or distress the edges.  The edges of the layout are framed with printed white lace, so I simply added bronze colored metal filigree corner pieces as accents.  

Oh how wonderfully FUN it was creating this layout! 

Thank you so much for stopping by to take a look! 

Have a wonderful weekend!  Lisa : )

Sweethearts Forever

Welcome!  Today I'm sharing a Valentine's layout of my beautiful daughter and her handsome husband.  

Blue Fern Studios Blush collection paper is perfect!  I like using the print on the paper as part of my design. Prima Wild Roses stencil was applied with Finnabair White Crackle.  This page reminds me of an English garden, full of different flowers. 

I layered double hearts and added a cute simple bow.  For the title, I chose to use the printed 'Sweetheart' word on the page, changing it to plural by adding an 's' with a dark brown colored pencil.  :)

A metal 'forever' word completed the title.

Blue Fern Studios has such beautiful chipboard! I cut off the top half of this butterfly dangle to shorten it; acrylic painted it in light buttermilk color; and then inked the edges.  The heart shape is acrylic painted with a mixture of cherry and light pink.  Layering a paper butterfly and making antennae shaped like the heart really dressed up this piece.  

 

An eyelet was used so the ribbon could be tied to make the chippie appear to be hanging.

The resin heart is acrylic painted and accented with Old Silver wax.

Here are some close-ups of the flower arrangements I put together.

Thanks for visiting and have an enjoyable day!  Lisa : )
