Sassy Scallops- Paper Issues

Hey Y'all, it's Courtney!

Today I am sharing my latest creation for Paper Issues.

This one is for the Sassy Scallops challenge.

For this layout I am using the AMAZING February Kit.

You guys, this kit is so perfect! I seriously love everything about it!

I decided on the main background paper first, which is the Blush paper from the

Crate Paper La La Love collection.

Then I knew I wanted something bold to use for the scallops.

For this I used the Heidi Swapp Spectrum paper

from the Color Fresh collection.

I used an old Lawn Fawn die to cut the scallops out, it was actually a waves die. Don't worry if you don't have it though, Paper Issues has a ton of free cut files in the shop to recreate this!

I love this one. I cut each color down to a six inch strip and then rotated the

different size of dies that I had. I ended up with two of each color.

At first I was just going to rotate all of them on the page, then I got the idea to layer them.

I popped one of each color up on pop dots and then adhered

them to the page.

I kinda went with a rainbow placement, but I haphazardly placed them.

I just love how that made them look.

For the embellishments I used the adorable stickers called Wild Love from Photoplay.

My adventure title came from the Heidi Swapp Whimsical stickers,

and I used the puffy butterflies from the half sheet from Pebbles.

I finished it off with a few lime green enamel dots to tie together the lime green scallops, and the lime green grass in my photo. The only thing that came from my stash was the doily.

Everything else came from the February Kit.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find inspiration in the 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
