Sunrise Flight

I wanted this layout to be very simple and to concentrate on the beautiful sunrise image. When I found LisaJane's Evergreen border, I knew that I had to use it to enhance this layout. I choose a single set of trees and cut them out in various colors and then placed them throughout the layout.

TECHNIQUE TIP:  Using the same embellishments three times in this layout creates a visual triangle that helps move the readers eyes through the layout and pulls it all together. The natural fiber paper provides a great base for the trees and definitely mimics the rugged Alaskan coastline where this photo was shot.

Garden of Life

Sometimes all it takes is a phrase or saying that starts motivation for a layout and then adding a FILEKUTZ by LisaJane is sure to complete the inspiration.  I have created this layout using Flourish Flower Frame lk00265....I love the gorgeous flourish and how you can layer the flowers from this file.  The mat is very versatile and can be placed vertical (see file image) or horizontal (like my layout).  

After cutting and layering the flowers from the file, I also added some Recollections tiny mulberry roses as centers and throughout the layout.  I inked the silver Making Memories bling that I had a teal color and added some small bees and ladybugs to give it more of a "garden" feel.  I then dug into my old fiber drawer and added some around the flowers and clouds to give it a "whispy" look.  Tiny alphas spell out the saying "If Mothers Were Flowers in the Garden of Life, I Would Pick You".

Toolbox Birthday Card

I needed a birthday card for my Father-in-Law and LisaJane had the perfect file. I used her Father's Day or Birthday Card file (lk00098) which you can find HERE. I cut the tools out of a shiny silver cardstock so they really look like metal. The front of the toolbox is embossed with the Oriental Weave 5x7 embossing folder to give it some texture. My FIL is quite the handyman so I know he will appreciate the card.

I've been working feverishly to finish up my Bald Eagle scrapbook by the time we leave here in two weeks. It's been great fun, but I will be glad to get back to some different types of layouts and be able to start on our trip through Alaska last summer.  The Bald Eagle scrapbook will contain 28 layouts.

JOURNALS: Bald Eagles battle for a salmon meal in the last run of the season.

PHOTOS: Bald Eagle images by Shetzers Photography

SUPPLIES USED: K&Company Julianne patterned paper and mats, Kraft cardstock, Ranger Tim Holtz Distress ink (Antique Linen, Weathered Wood), Judikins Treasure Cube and Textiles Cube stamp, DCWV Neutrals cardstock, Bazzill Basics Just the Edge, Stampin Up Notes and Details and Dot Dot Dot stamps, Eagle cut file by FileKutz by LisaJane, Smooch pearlized ink, Sketch by PageMaps 2 (page 104), Font: Evie's hand

TECHNIQUE TIP: I used four different borders by Bazzill on this page. Two of them started out being off white so I used my stamps and inks to colorize them and add more texture to the layout. Another one started out to be off white and I decided that a pale blue would give a bit more separation to the zig zag border so I sponged some of the Tim Holtz weathered wood ink onto it to recolor it. The bluish textured flowers also started off in plain off white and with my stamps, I blended them in with the theme of the layout.

Here is a closeup of the wonderful cut file from LisaJane at FileKutz.  What a great way to finish off this layout.

Easter Egg Hunting File

Bunnies are Brown, bunnies are white.

Bunnies are always an easter delight.

Bunnies are cuddly, the large and the small,

But I like chocolate ones best of all!!

Hello all, this is Sharon and we have all noticed that Spring is popping up everywhere, from the small buds blooming to the songs that the birds are singing....many new beginnings....perfect time for my new beginning---my first post and layout as DT here. I was so excited to create a spring layout, to use a color that I hardly ever use (purple) but mostly to use this adorable svg file called EASTER EGG HUNTING w/RABBIT from FileKutz By LisaJane. I wanted to create this layout with the bunny faceless but as you can see at the file image below, the file does include an adorable face for it.

I started creating my layout by blending distress ink on the edges of the white cardstock, using the Fiskars Read Between the Vines punch on the purple cardstock, and added various easter papers and a cardstock mats. Then I got to work on cutting and creating with the file. I like to create depth so the fence was cut, crinkled and chalked with distress ink and then I cut the grass 6 times - inked, crinkled and assembled them into one piece. I cut out the bunny pieces and the basket pieces - finishing them up by chalking and assembling them also. I put together the finished pieces and added some flowers, ribbon and a poem. Now all I have to do is take that perfect picture on Easter to add to my layout...gotta love being a page ahead!! This was a fun file to play with and I know I will be using these pieces, like the fence, over again on other layouts.
