Paper Issues: 2017 Fall Crop: Supersize It!

Hi Creative Friends!

Are you playing along with the

 Paper Issues Fall Crop?! 

If not, come join us in the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook group here

I am lucky enough to be hosting two of the Crop challenges,
& I am so super excited about it!
Here's my second challenge for the crop.....

Yup! Supersize it and go LARGE!!!

For this challenge you can either use a supersized photograph OR a supersized title for your layout.

Easy to play, but tons of fun (& you go in the draw to win some awesome prizes!)

Here's my sample layout for you....

"Major Heart Eyes"

Major heart eyes, indeed! Isn't this the most beautiful photo?!!

And yes, I supersized it to focus in on that gorgeous handhold! 

These two are inseparable, they really dote on one another - it's so lovely!

You'll spy that I used the stunning Pink Paislee: Paige Taylor Evans: Turn The Page collection for this layout. That sweet floral paper is just perfect for Spring or Fall memory keeping. 

And the embellishments are just divine!

Here's a few close ups for you.....

Just look at that sweet Puffy Sticker heart! It really pops against the black n white photo.

I am also LOVING the Fresh Start Icon Thickers (chipboard stickers) - there are so many cute designs!

And speaking of Thickers..... 

The New Day Printed Thickers are amazing!!!

They really are title perfection!

Feeling like you need a lil more Pink Paislee in your stash?

Paper Issues: January Working Title

Hi Happy Arty Days Friends!

 I am super-dee-duper excited to announce that I will be hosting the newest monthly challenge at Paper Issues;

Working Title.

This challenge is all about those project titles

 & for our first challenge, 

I am asking you to Go LARGE for 2017!!!

The BIGGER your title, the BETTER!

*As an optional extra, you can challenge yourself more by focusing on 2017, the New Year, resolutions, hopes, dreams or your future plans * 

One of my goals for this year is to tell more of my story too! 

I am always scrapbooking my beautiful family, but never myself. 

So with that in mind, here's my take on this fun new challenge....

"2017"

Soft, delicate, feminine and pretty - this page is definitely all about me!

And how about my LARGE title?!! 

I have used a Free Cut File from the Paper Issues store 

(it's coming to the store next week - so keep your eyes open for it!)

I simply enlarged the file, and voila! One instant, large title!

I have use the stunning Pink Paislee, Moonstruck collection for my layout, and this includes the paper piecing inside my numerals title.
As my layout is very delicate and soft, I added the specialty gold vellum paper and machine stitching to make my title stand out just a bit more!
Here's a few close up shots for you....

I adorned my title with ephemera and puffy stickers too!

That gold vellum is just divine!!!

I also used a few inspirational words to remind me of my goals this year - wander more, take big chances, have a timeless beautiful life & be unstoppable!

And there you have it!

I hope you liked my delicate & girly take on this fun new challenge!
