Hi all and I'm super excited to be sharing with you my May projects in my very first post over here at the My Little Shoebox blog. I was able to "play" with the Lovely Day collection and here are my shares for you today....
Melts My Heart
In this page, I wanted to play a bit with the journaling blocks from the Lovely collection. I cut out three of them and placed them on the bottom of the page where I treated each one differently, housing my journaling and other elements like cut out paper and punched out butterflies. I used two die cut banner pieces as an accent for my larger flower. They remind me of the ends of a ribbon.
Supplies Used:
Pattern papers-(Seeds of Happiness, 11892; Easy Breezy, 11896; New Story, 11897; Sweet Memory, 11894; Chocolate and Chiffon, 11899) Lovely Collection; Letter stickers- Glitter Alphabet sticker, Lake 10114; Ribbon- Hobby Lobby; Twine- Twinery; Buttons- Pebbles; Pearl- Recollections; Flowers- Prima, Accent Creative Designs, Piggy Tales; Butterfly punch- Martha Stewart Crafts; Circle punch- Creative Memories; Border punch- EK Success; Decorative Scissor- Fiskars; Black pen- Creative Memories
Family Gamers
In this page, I used the “Lovely” collection’s graphic papers. I did add the birdhouse paper on the right edge which, if you notice, the way my son and husband in looking in the photo, leads them to that direction. Because this page is a masculine page, I used chevron and star shapes. I love layering items on top of each other like the circle accents, stars and brads in this page.
Supplies Used:
Pattern papers-(Chocolate and Chiffon, 11899; Let the Sunshine, 11895; New Story, 11897; Raspberry and Aqua, 11898) Lovely Collection; Letter stickers- Glaze alphabet sticker, Snowflakes 10117; Mini Alphabet Sticker, Peppermint stick 08431; Ribbon- American Crafts; Twine- Twinery; Star punch- Fiskars; Circle punch- Creative Memories; Rubons- Scenic Route; Brads- SEI; Decorative Scissor- Provo Craft; Thread- Coats and Clark; Sewing Machine- Kenmore; Black pen- Creative Memories
Mother's Day
I made this page a two page spread so I can fit all of my photos and still have room for my accents. I love how the papers from the Lovely collection are so soft and feminine in style that it fit perfectly for this page about last year’s Mother’s day celebration. To break up all of the boxy shapes of my photos and journaling/title block, I had cut out the papers into circles and made a border for most of them. I added some of the circles with foam adhesive so it will create some dimension.
Supplies Used:
Pattern papers-(Seeds of Happiness, 11892; Let the Sunshine, 11895; Easy Breezy, 11896; New Story, 11897; Sweet Memory, 11894; Raspberry and Aqua, 11898) Lovely Collection; Letter stickers- Glitter Alphabet sticker, Lake 10114; Twine- Twinery; Buttons- Pebbles; Circle punch- Creative Memories; Circle Cutters- Creative Memories; Decorative Scissor- Fiskars; Typewriter- Royal
and last but definitely not the least...
For this card I used some more papers from the Lovely collection. I handcut the flower accent from paper to create my own embellishment and finished it off with some pearls. The bright pinks from the paper background, the flower and the red button really stands out against the mostly blue hue of the card.
