I caved and signed up for yet another online workshop - this one is Sassy Scrapping with Shannon Tidwell. It just looked so fun and another class that was right up my alley (and it doesn't hurt that I get 15% off everything at 2 Peas, right? So it's a deal. I'm practically obligated to participate!) The first chapter is about inspiration and the class in general is more about going bold and even a little big with your pages. So I decided to dive right in with it. I started with a Studio Calico sketch and my April kit.
The papers were just perfect for these fun pictures of Rick, Erin, and the kids. I decided to be inspired by a layout from Shannon as well as flowers - something that's kind of just *me* and that I always love. So I decided to kick it up a notch and make them huge.
I used a rose diecut on my Cameo to do the flowers in different papers from my kit (although the yellow is from March). I also did some big hexagons on my Cameo for the background and added some sequins and butterfly stickers (also from the kit and addon... love them!)
I spritzed the Amy Tangerine Thickers with a little Mister Huey's mist so they'd stand out just a bit on the lighter paper.
This was a lot of fun and I really love how it turned out. Plus, I have a super cute family :)
Ah Gwen, this is totally adorable! Your family is adorable too! LOVE this big and bold style for you. Those big die cut flowers are so perfect with this layout. Love the big soft pink hexagon shapes too! I am in love with SC's April kit. Those papers are gorgeous.
I am really trying hard NOT to sign up for Shannon Tidwell's class. But after seeing how much you love it and your wonderful layout... (hehe). It is so NICE to get a discount isn't it. I LOVE that.
So glad you are feeling better! The flu is the worst (even if you got it from food-its still nasty).
As always, love your blog. :)
