Girl Squad- Paper Issues

Hello, my loves! Courtney here and it's my turn on the blog today and I am so excited to share the layout I created for Scraplift Sunday. This week we are lifting Becky and her original is so good!

Here's a look at what I created. 


Now I am going to be completely honest. I struggled hard with this one. Typically I love scraplifts because I don't have to overthink, but this one I did. I think it's because she had all of that beautiful Crate Paper. 

I knew I wanted to use Crate Paper’s line Hooray to show off a photo from one of my bestie’s 30th birthday. This picture is special to me because we don't always get to see each other, but these girls are my support system! I didn't have the entire collection and sometimes I feel like I have to. I was able to work with what I had to create this. 

Anywho, let me jump into how I created this! As I said, I used the Hooray line by Crate Paper, but I didn't pick up a ton of it. I'm really regretting that though because this line has me smitten. The colors and patterns are amazing and probably some of my favorites that I have worked with. 


Here's a list of what I used: 
  • Crate Paper- Party Paper for the background 
  • Crate Paper- For You- Cut apart for two of the tags and the cut out of the girl
  • Crate Paper- Birthday Girl- for the Rainbow part 
  • Random Crate paper ephemera for the hearty, craft tag, love this, and the tag. 
  • Frames are from Crate Paper Good Vibes 
  • #girl squad thickers- Pebbles Girl Squad

I used the frames and cut them apart so I could use them in multiple spots. I also popped everything up with pop dots. I added a few random black stars that were on my desk and some yellow enamel hearts. Then I finished it off with gold Heidi Shine. 


I hope you love this layout as much as I do.
I can't wait to see what you create over in the Facebook group!

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
