Hello My Little Shoebox fans! Today designer Nicole Wragge is sharing some fantastic layouts and cards she created using our Destination collection.
STORYTIME LAYOUT:
Nicole's notes: This layout was 100% inspired by the picture. Our family loves to read and the idea of making a mini-3D book using foam board and the bright papers and cardstock stickers just made my heart happy! I made sure to create a bookmark made of ribbon because we wouldn't want to loose our place in the story! I used a few of the role-up flowers along with the flag banners for the leaves to add additional dimension to the layout. The journalling was done using the a few of the icons which were popped using Therm-o-web's 3D Zots and of course the Mini Alphas and Glitter Alphas. I love this layout on the TRIP OF A LIFETIME Circle Scallop paper!!!
WELCOME HOME CARD:
Nicole's Notes: For this card I used the HAPPY HOUR paper as the backdrop, then trimmed the bar-code strip off and used the "B" side grey stripe to anchor the top/bottom of the card. The journaling tag found on the POSTCARD paper helped tie in the grey and the turquoise in the HAPPY HOUR paper. I used the LOLLIPOP MINI ALPHAS and the LADYBUG SPRINKLE ALPHAS for the sentiment. The two flowers on the die-cut sheet were secured with Therm-o-web 3D Zots and added a pretty touch to the card.
SWEET ADDISON LAYOUT:
Nicole's Notes: For this layout I wanted to highlight the bright-happy red and pink combination of this line. The HAPPY HOUR and SIT BACK AND RELAX papers are so pretty when they are layered together and then there is a pop of the fun turquoise color! I hand-cut the journalling tag off the POSTCARD paper and then layered it with the photo and the "B" side of the HAPPY HOUR paper. I added a few of the flowers from the die-cut sheet and then added a homemade role up flower using the "B" side of the SOUVENIR paper. Making the title was the fun part... I like to stretch myself sometimes and I was trying to come up with a way to use all the fun icons on the JOURNEY and POSTCARD papers.
A = made from the triangle flag on the die-cut sheet
d = flipped the "parking" sign to make a lower-case "d"
I = turned the "do not enter" sign to make the "I"
S = fussy cut out 2 of the "U-turn" red arrows and then turned them over to use the "B" side and connected the arrows to make an "S"
O = fussy cut out the "60 mph" sign and then layered it with white cardstock to create a white border
N = fussy cut the letter "N" off of the "ONE WAY" sign on the POSTCARD paper
THIS GIRL LOVES SUNGLASSES LAYOUT:
Nicole's Notes: Let me start by saying this photo makes me laugh hysterically! I know you don't know my oldest whom I call our Desert Darling, however she is so the opposite of what this picture shows. She is kind, she is friendly, she ALWAYS has a smile on her face... never a growly-bad-to-the-bone look. To say the least when it came time to edit pictures I knew I had to scrap this one!!! I used the "B" side of the JOURNEY paper as my backdrop and then layered a newly-punched "B" side of the HAPPY HOUR strip of paper to the right of the layout. I really liked the look of the turquoise die-cut Rollie flower undone so that was added in the upper right corner. I used the punch out clouds - My Little Shoebox is known for their clouds and personally I can't get enough of them - to round out that same corner. I layered the picture on white cardstock {TIP: if I don't have white cardstock handy, I go to my scrap pile and reach for the My Little Shoebox Circle Scallops since their "B" sides are white} and then again on the "B" side of the SOUVENIR paper. The SPARKLE GLITTER ALPHAS and MINI ALPHAS make up the title along with a hand-cut heart out of the polka dot journalling tag on the POSTCARD paper.
Weren't these layouts fun! Thanks for the inspiration with Destination today. We love that Nicole shared that while Destination is a vacation and travel themed collection it can also work well for everyday photos too!
Have a creative day!
