Color My World- Paper Issues

Hey Y'all, Courtney here! Today I am sharing the layout I created for 
the You Color My World challenge.  


For this colorful layout, I used a photo of my mom, daughter, and myself.
I used the Dream Big by Simple Stories collection for this one.  

Here's a list of supplies I used:
Chasing Rainbows Paper-Dream Big
Be Younique-Dream Big
Be Meowgical-Dream Big 
2x2 elements (background paper)-Dream Big
Bits & Pieces-Dream Big
Cardstock Stickers-Dream Big
White Doily 
Gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine
Black Watercolor for Splatters
Doodlebug So Punny Glitter Sprinkles
Dream Big Cutie Free Cut File


I decided to cut out two different patterns in the shape of triangles and place those on a white sheet of 10x10 cardstock. The triangles were a 6x6 square that I cut in half. I backed the Dream Big cut file that was cut in black with the patterned paper, Chase Rainbows. When I glued the cut file down, I popped the word Big up on pop dots to give it some extra dimension. 


I backed my photo with a few random scraps I had from the collection and stuck a white doily behind that. I didn't pop the photo because I wanted the ephemera cluster to be popped up. I had the cloud cluster, unicorn cluster and house cluster on the layout to begin with. Then I found those adorable word strips from the sticker set and decided to make coordinating clusters. 


I added some doodles around the white space, some glittered sprinkles, and some gold Heidi Shine to polish it off. Between those touches and the extra clusters I felt like it was perfect.  I wanted this layout super girly and full of all the cute things. I definitely feel like I achieved that! 

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create!

My Happy- Simple Stories

MY HAPPY! Hey y’all! Courtney here and I am sharing my last layout as a Design Team member. I’m using the collection, Hey Crafty Girl. I found it only fitting to highlight my two Design Team announcements from last year. I knew that I wanted a colorful layout, so I picked the Crafty & Happy paper. Instead of just using it as is I decided to use a cut file from Paper Issues called Just a Few Bumps in the Road, and I cut it in black.i wanted all of the colors to really pop against it. I cut my pattern paper down to fill my cut file in rainbow order. I was super excited to see all of the embellishments that I could use to color block on my layout. I layered my photos on some dot paper and a 4x6 card to match the collection. I went through every embellishment and matched them with their color and chose wanted I wanted to keep on my layout. I also used a 4c6 photo photo flip so I could add my design team pictures. I added some enamel dots from multiple coll

Love You- Simple Stories

LOVE YOU! Hey y’all! Courtney here and today I am sharing my layout that I created using the collection My Valentine. This collection has some amazing vintage images and beautiful colors. I loved using it with a cut file by Paige Evans I cut the cut file out in the Lace Dots paper and then in white as a solid background. Then I cut each letter in various patterns from the 6x8 paper pad and the 12x12 sheets. I added foam to the top portion of my cut file and adhered the patterns to the white cut out to give it some dimension. After I adhered my cut file I added my 4 pictures. They are approximately 2x3’s and I added a white card stock mat to them.  Once I was happy with the placement I began to add my embellishments. I used the bits and pieces, My Valentine Card Ephemera, the mini sticker tablet, the 6x12 chipboard, and Combo Sticker sheet. Then, I finished the layout off with my clusters of enamel dots from the So Happy Together collection. Thank You so much

Scary Cute- Simple Stories

SCARY CUTE! Hey y'all! It's Courtney here! Today’s layout is made with the amazing Happy Haunting line. How fun is this line? When I saw it I knew exactly what picture I wanted to use. For this layout, I cut out 2-inch strips that varied in length. After that, I randomly placed them on the background page which is Utterly Spooky. I used a few different pages for the strips. I used both sides of Hocus Pocus, Fright night, Bootiful, and the 2x2 elements. I used some black crate paper, the bat border sticker, and the spooky house border sticker to add some different dimension and texture to my pattern. All of my clusters we're a mixture of the chipboard, the combo sticker sheet, the icon bits, and pieces, and the Happy Haunting journal pieces. I embellished each cluster with the small enamel dot from the Spring Farm House collection. I added a tab, tiny word sticker,   and a flower to my photo from the combo sticker sheet. I hope you are inspired to
