Autumn Stripes with Just A Scrappin

Welcome back!

It is that time of week again. Time for a new challenge from Just A Scrappin'!!

This week it is

SHOW US YOUR STRIPES

Any theme, but use autumn colors!

I thought back to this card I did and how much I love this paper line by Quick Quotes (sorry, its discontinued). It is perfect autumn colors.

I tore a piece of stripe paper and added it to the brown card. I cut the sentiment from another sheet from this line and wrapped Cappuccino twine around it. I fussy cut some leaves from another pattern from this line and added them in a diagonal pattern.

Here you can see the dimension the pop dots give it. I like to pop-dot things I am gluing with twine or over twine so that the paper doesn't end up with creases in it or it looking uneven. I also inked the edges of all the paper in Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Biscotti. 

I hope you join us this week at Just A Scrappin'!!

I also have exciting news! I am a new member on the design team for My Cricut Craft Room!!

Look for my first post for them next week :)

Home Love Family

Who still loves 2page layouts!?!?!

I do! Good thing I have been doing so many of them lately!

A family page is always needed in a scrapbook. My co-worker requested that I title it Home. Love. Family. I have this DCWV stack that I have wanted to use forever and it just screams family at me. So I pulled out Linen Closet and got to work!

I was inspired by a page I saw on A Page for All Seasons blog that I saved as an idea a long time ago. I used their page as a sketch for this one. I inked everything in Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Biscotti and a little bit of Blue Hawaiian.

Here you can see the border on either side of the large photo mat on page 1. There was a pattern sheet in the stack that was all of these scallops. I cut 2 out and added them to the sides as borders!

I usually hate making bows but I felt like this layout really called for it. I wanted it to lay pretty flat so I put my ribbon all the way across the page first, then tied a bow with the same ribbon and glued it on top.

Home, Family and Love were all cut from the Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut Cartridge. I layered the blue from the stack with some cream to make the words stand out. 

I added some Twine in Cappuccino and Caribbean at the bottom of the small photo mats to add some interest.

I hope you like this soft family layout.
