Grateful | Layle By Mail

It is snow and cold winter nights here on the East Coast and honestly it looks really pretty for Santa but for me I personally enjoy Palm Trees ;)

Today I am sharing a layout called "Grateful". It's a photo of my nephew and His Bear. He loves his little bear and takes him everywhere he goes. Did you have a little bear growing up? I had a pink blanket and it was the perfect thing to keep me safe from monsters and ghosts that were hiding under my bed LOL!

I used the Fall papers from the Season's Pass 2.0 Fall/Holiday Collection. I wanted to try something different with the stamps that came in the collection but I mostly use stamps for cards and not layouts but this was something different for me.
Before I started stamping on my lined paper, I added small drops of paint and then added the leaves around those paint drops. It created something different which is what I was looking for.

Adding layers to my layouts is one of my favorite things. I added shapes of leaves and some of the diecuts in the package. I added a light brown ink with a sponge to the edges just to add a bit of dimension.

To add some journaling I printed on white cardstock using a typewriter font. I didn't want to use my own handwritting on this page and this font was perfect. I added a few more details such as sewing with a thick thread and I left it there for vision effect. Cute right?

I hope you enjoyed reading today and taking a peek at my latest layout.

Happy Holidays to You and Your Families!

Let's Go on Vacation | Layle By Mail

Hello Friends!

I am here today to share something different from my usual layouts. I made this mini album using the Layle By Mail Postcards and Passports collection to showcase some pictures and journaling about my recent trip to Los Angeles.. I'll be adding pictures and journaling shortly to finish off this super cute mini.

I used tons of diecuts with dimensional adhesive to give my project a 3 dimensional look. I always like the look of a project that has dimensions and textures. To reinforce some pages such as the first and last page I used a piece of cardboard between the two layers of papers. Just to make it a bit stiffer and easier to hold as well.

This single piece of paper can create this mini album - I cut up all the individual tags and also used another piece of two from this collection but mainly this single sheet.

Lots of room for journaling, small spaces for 2x2 pictures and much more!

I used Layle's digital files and printed them on sticker paper.
I then added that to the cardstock. Ready for journaling!

The digital files are so versatile. You can use them for diecuts when printed on white cardstock, add them to sticker paper, or digital scrapbooking!

I also added the wordstrips to each page to add more details. These are so cute in a mini!

This little project is perfect for those that love to create ;)

I hope you have the inspiration to create your own little mini album. This can be used for so many adventures with family and friends to any part of the world ;)
