Scraplift Sunday  Hey y’all it’s Courtney here and today is my last post as a design team member. I’m forever grateful for the time I have gotten to share my work with all of you, but never fear! I’ll still be around sharing what I create!  For today’s layout I am doing Scraplift Sunday, and we are lifting the amazing Kelly.  Here’s a look at my finished layout  Here’s Kelly’s original that we are lifting.  I used the Sunny Days collection by Crate Paper with a picture of my kiddos from our recent beach trip.  I really love how this layout came together, The colors are so perfect!  My title is a combination of the 6x12 sticker sheet and the Thickers and I think the title says it all. I went with the half circle shape like Kelly, but I made mine a little wider because of the title. Each cluster is a combination of a phrase, an icon, a piece of glitter washi, and a heart.  The paper cluster behind my photos is just some scraps from some

You Can Have This or You Can Have That Hey Y'all! Courtney here sharing the layout that I created for the  This or That  challenge. This challenge screamed for me to make a July 4th layout when I saw to use red,white, and blue.

I chose to go with two 3x4 photos that I layered on two different mats, I used some of the pocket cards that I knew I wouldn't use on another layout.

ANCHORS AWEIGH! Hey y’all! Courtney here on the blog today sharing a layout that I created using the really cute  Crusin’ line. Now I haven’t been on a cruise lately, but we did just come back from a long beach trip. I have a ton of pictures that will go so perfectly with this collection. I chose these two precious pictures of my youngest on his daddy’s shoulders. I chose to do two 3x4 pictures that I matted on the Ports of Call individually and then double matted them on the Ahoy and the Seas the day paper The background paper is Lost at Sea and it’s cut down ¼ of an inch and matted on the 4x4 elements sheet. I also used a free cut file from paper Issues called Sailing into summer that I backed on Man overboard and the lined card from the 4x6 element sheet. I used the 6x12 chipboard sheet, the combo sticker sheet, the 4x6 sticker sheet, and the bits and pieces to create my clusters around my photo.  The title came from the bits and pieces pack and I added so
