Love With All My Heart



Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook  Nerd  - LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART -





Hi there!


It is theme week over at Scrapbook Nerd.  This week's assignment is all about documenting someone you love, or Valentine's Day.   Well that is an easy subject for me, and my choice will always be my Family.  So i decided to document my page (2 more will be done -one for each kid's album) of our latest family portrait.





To create the background, I used some Prima Marketing Pastel Dreams confections to bring a soft watercolor look to the page.





Next, I pulled a Felicity Jane cut file to create the title of the page.   Once cut, it was all backed with papers from Crate Paper's Main Squeeze collection.   Then glued to the page, followed by a small Simple Stories stickers that finish the title of the page.





To frame the picture of our family, I pulled one of my favorite Just Nick studio (Leaf Cluster)  cut file. I cut the file from white cardstock, and backed it with vellum.   It was then added to the bottom of the title.   The picture was then glued above it, and pieces from both Crate Paper collections (Main Squeeze, and Heart Day) were used to create clusters that frame the picture.  A third cluster was then added to the title so that is completes the visual triangle of the page.





A few lines of journal, and gold splatters complete the page.   I love the result of this page!  The soft colors of the background, contrast with the bold title, which brings the softness of the cut out forward, hence bringing the picture forward.


I hope this inspires you to stop ny Scrapbook Nerd to check all the materials used in this page.  Sometimes it pays to keep somre previous collections to combine with more recent ones.


Remember, I am a comment away if you have any questions on how this page came together.


Take care!

MY PERSONAL JOURNAL - Week 5





Hi there!

It is  February!   Time is quickly passing by, and reminding us that life is all made of moments that can mark and define you.  With that in mind, here are the TN entries for the week ( and it has probably been one of the hardest weeks we have to live in a while!)





This week's entries were created with a combinnation of Citrus Twist Kits and Studio Calico kits.   All i focused this week was on bringing color to my outlook of life





The dashboard was created using one of Heidi Swapp stamps, and stickers from the AC sticker tabs.









I hope this inspires you to pull your camera and start capturing some of life's moments. 


Take care!

Be Mine


Scrapbook Layout created for Simple Stories  -  BE MINE-




Hi there!

Nathalie with you today, bringing you some inspiration just in time for Valentine's Day.   And what better way to document your especial one than to use the beautiful Simple Stories's "ROMANCE" collection.




All the floral motifs in the Romance collection are beautiful, so a bit of fussy cutting was all that was needed to create the clusters that frame the picture of my husband and I on our Thanksgiving walk.





Since the picture of us was taken at a bridge, I was inspired to continue the pattern of the formation onto the background of this page.   There are so many beautiful embellishments in this collection, that it was so easy to combine them to create the title for this page.




The collection is perfect to document all those special moments in your life, not just Valentine's Day.   Remember to check the collection, you will love a bit of "ROMANCE" in your life.





Remember to contact me if you have questions on how this came together.

Take care.
