The Hub

I took this photo on One More Disney Day around 9am. I did do a bit of fun editing to to bring out the pink the tree. Which doesn’t come off well in the photo. I started this layout with one element. that small stamped “My Happy Place” banner. The black cardstock is 6×8. The butterflies are each a different medium. The smallest is a sticker I picked up in the Studio Calico shop, the pink one is a wood veneer one  misted in Sunset and the blue is a mistable with Powder Blue.

The yellow button, twine, paper, and tab are all from So Cal kits. The title is the Stepping Stone alphabet with the HeyDay collection. I did the solid in Wet Cement and then did an off outline with the same soft pool I used for the banner stamp.  The black button is a Jenni Bowlin that I picked up at my LSS a couple weeks ago.

One More Disneyland Day

This layout is for this weeks Lawnscaping challenge 

I started this layout with a very different plan. I had the Lawn Fawn chevron paper cut to 8.5×11, the castle pieced from the 6×6 Bright Sides paper pad, and a bunch of stars and hearts cut out. The castle and hearts and stars are from Critters Ever After.  I had a different photo in mind…but I decided to splatter the paper. I used Mister Huey’s Inky Black and Calico White. I then added some washi tape to the corner and then I realized my small square photo of Sleeping Beauty Castle wasn’t going to work. I printed this collage shortly after becoming addicted to Instagram. They’re my favorite photos I took over the course of 24 hours at Disneyland. I did the title with a chevron piece from the 6×6 pad. I left the centers in because 1 I was getting tired and that’s a lot of letters to fussy cut…and look at how many insides and 2 I like the solid look of the letters with the splatters. I added a tab with the year using Say Cheese too and a Jenni Bowlin punch. I added in the stars and hearts I cut before and it was done.

I’m thinking this will be the section front for all the One More Disney Day layouts I’ve done/will do. I have so many cute stories and favorite photos to share.

Does this count as using 20 photos or just 1?

Welcome

I love love love this layout. I all started with the woodgrain paper in my May Studio Calico kit. I loved both sides of the paper and I was afraid for weeks to cut it. I trimmed it to 8.5×11 and I figured it would make me use it. I then started pulling some of my favorite pieces from the kit. The Hexagons were colored in powder blue, boss lady, and silver. I pulled one of my favorite photos I’ve taken in a very long time.

The page then came together so easily. I played around with some ideas for the title.  When Walt opened Disneyland in 1955 he gave on opening speech, and thus the title/journaling was decided. “To all who come to this happy place” was done in Jillibean tiny text from my stash.  Welcome was done with the thickers from the kit.
