It's a birthday celebration! My niece who was too cute for words way back when! Time flies, my goodness. I created this page using some NEW Jillibean Soup - Souper Celebration. The colors in this collection are so nice and bright and not overpowering for any themed page.  The crown and little birthday cake/gift diecuts were just perfect for this page.

Coordinating Stickers:  Souper Celebration;
Pea Pod Parts: Souper Celebration; Tag You're It!: Celebrate, White Jewelry Tag; Foil Hello;

Winter Wonderland | Simple Stories

Hello Friends its Kristine Davidson with you today.  I will be sharing 2 layouts with you using the gorgeous winter collection called “Winter Wonderland”. It has beautiful soft colors and great images for those winter pages. 

My first layout is called Winter Chill -





I used a pattern paper for my background on this layout and then started layering with other pattern papers and I wanted to highlight some of those papers. In order for me to do that I used the Oh What Fun paper to create a brown border around those papers. That created a bit of a definition for me, which I like.


Layering with dimensional adhesive is nothing new on my pages and this layout was no exception. Creating a cluster of embellishments on the right bottom corner of my pictures was a great place to add a snowman, some skates, and a few word strips. 

I love flowers and even if this is a winter layout I find that these blue/yellow/white flowers add such a beautiful touch to my page.  I added those on the left side of my page but didn’t over do it. 


I love the trees and the deer stickers. I wanted to add those to both of my pages so I did. They are similar, but I am ok with that ;)
  ______________________________________________________

My second layout is called SNOW 
    

The girls were outside taking photos and it was just the perfect day. It was a mild winter’s day and the birch trees in the background were a perfect match to this paper collection. It wasn’t snowing that day but the snow in the background certainly shows that it was a winter’s Day.

This layout is really similar to the first one. I added more brown paper on the back of my pattern papers for dimension, some snowmen which is super cute by the way, and also the deer and tree on the right hand side.


You could probably do something similar to this and create a 2 page layout for yourself. Try adding a dark color around your light pattern papers and see if you like that ;)

The Cut Shoppe | Guest Designer

Hello Friends!

I am a guest designer for The Cut Shoppe this month!!! I love Ashley's cut files and was super excited to be part of her reveals for the month of January. Her cut files are so whimsical yet some are very simple and detailed. I do love backgrounds so of course I choose a few background files to work with this month.

My first project is a card that I created with The Cut Shoppe file - Hello Hearts
and Simple Stories - Love & Adore 

I love those hearts and while I only selected 4 of them for my card I find they highlight the pink so well. It had to be a sweet little valentine card  ;)
You could easily create a layout with this cut file and use parts of it or the entire design for a background.



My second project is a layout and I used the GEO Globe Cut file.

 
I LOVED the options for this cut file. You can fill out parts of the glove, all of it or none at all. SOOO many great options - those backgrounds are for sure my favorite to use.  This was created again using Simple Stories Love & Adore.



 If you have a few minutes you should seriously visit them on instagram for tons of inspiration and ideas !



Thanks for visiting today!

Oh What Fun | Simple Stories

I love the vibrant colors in this Simple Stories collection Mistletoe Kisses mixed in with blue and pink. It has a bit of a Christmas Theme but you can also use this as a great winter collection.  I used some snowmen, a few decorated Christmas trees, and hearts focusing on the love for snow!

The first layout I'll be sharing is called "OH What Fun!"


I have had these photos for quite some time and when Mistletoe Kisses came out I knew exactly what I wanted to use it for. These pictures of my niece enjoying the fresh snow fall and sliding.
I selected the blues, and whites as a major focus but added some green to give the page a contrast in color. I love that the green is used as a “pop” up color instead of the main focus.
Of course adding layers, and dimension adhesive is a must for me. I do enjoy the different colors. I added the CHEER alpha stickers but didn’t make that my title. I selected – the small sticker strip with OH What Fun my title. It seemed appropriate.


Here is a sketch I created based on this layout - Feel free to use it for your next layout! You can tag me if you'd like to share @KristineDavidson on instagram ;)
