Joyful ~ Newborn layout for My Creative Scrapbook

Hello, friends! 

Today I'm excited to share a sweet design team layout with some newborn photos of our sweet grandson Lucas and his mommy. 

I really love all the papers in the 49 and Market Birdsong range which is the featured collection for the February Limited Edition Kit from My Creative Scrapbook. For my background paper here, I've chosen the Trilling Moments paper which is a lovely collage of birds and nests done in a vintage sort of way. Loving the color combo for this work, I gathered some other paper remnants that I'd been using and built up the photo layers beneath my two photos. For matting I've used the Sweet Notes paper. 


I did something kind of unique for me this time. I started my layout from the bottom and working upward!  Sounds crazy I know but I wanted to get my florals just so-so and created a floral nest for my photos. Then it was a matter of assembling and details, details, details, knowing approximately where I wanted my photos to reside. 

I've done an after the process video if you'd like for me to talk you through this work. (Which was fun all in itself!)

You can find it here: 





Here are some of the close-ups I took for this project:

"Posh" layout with Sandi

Hello, everyone! 

Sandi here with you today sharing a layout created with papers from the "Posh" collection. Classic teal, florals and leopard … so yummy! 


I did a small bit of mixed media work on the background but kept it very light. I wanted that floral paper to really shine front and center. 

Then I built up a few layers with media, papers, embellies and flowers. I even pulled out a fabric flower I've had for YEARS~ but it was so perfect for this photo!

Here are a few close-ups:




That's it from me today.
