Gossamer Blue: December Memories Inspiration Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Gossamer Blue December Memories Inspiration Blog Hop! Several members of the design team are sharing our ideas with the Gossamer Blue album kit. Be sure to check out my fellow team members for lots of inspiration!

Here's what I do... December is usually an incredibly busy and stressful month so I throw the "daily" idea out the window and make it more about 31 memories of the month. Then, I don't find myself stressing about trying to work on a page of the album every day and I'm not stretching to make up something if we don't do anything on a particular day in December. There are many days where we have more than one memory too.

Here's a peek at my cover this year.... I love this exclusive album and the gold doily had to be a focal point... I jazzed it up with wood veneer and flair.

And here's a look at the inside so far... I honestly didn't do much yet besides set up pages 1-10 with the addition of the "Get Happy" collection wood veneer numbers. I'll add in a lot of details later and make some cover pages as I go.

Webster's Pages: Gingerbread Joy

Today I have a new layout to share featuring the "Gingerbread Village" collection from Webster's Pages. This collection was perfect to use for a layout about creating a gingerbread house! We have started a tradition where we put together our house with my mom. It's very fun to do together!

I cut the ornaments out of the patterned paper in the collection using my Cameo. Then I backed each ornament with vellum. The bow at the top of the gold ornament is vellum and part of the "All That Glitters" collection.

I cut my title using my Cameo and green cardstock. The little "Joy" stickers are mini alphabet stickers. 

Thanks for stopping by today! :)

Gossamer Blue: Love You & Blog Hop

Today the Gossamer Blue team is showcasing projects we created with the November kits. This layout was created using only the main kit. We were out and about on a gorgeous fall day last month and snapped this photo on my phone. I really loved the exclusive paper I used for the background, designed by One Little Bird.

The Gossamer Blue kits always include exclusive printables and I cut out the circle to use my journaling.

For the title, I used one of the exclusive cut files and then punched out some leaves to draw out the golden color in the background paper. 

And here's the rest of the team's projects you can hop around and visit their blogs:

Webster's Pages: Our Family

Good morning! Today I have a new layout to share for Webster's Pages and the gorgeous new collection "The Nest", designed by Brandin O'Neill. We recently had family photos taken by my good friend, Carrie Krupke. I absolutely adored this photo - the trees were just the perfect shade of yellow. It was a beautiful day. I knew I wanted this one to be the first photo I scrapped.

I love the warm colors in this collection and I helped draw it out the orange in our photos with orange cardstock. 

I created a simple grid so I could highlight the frames (easily cut out of one of the patterned papers). And I just adore the vellum - perfect for adding a softness to the layout.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Gossamer Blue: Happy Halloween

Good morning! I have one more layout to share with you using the October Gossamer Blue kits - this one focuses on the Life Pages themed add-on with my favorite orange, black and white patterned papers thrown in from the rest of the kits. These are photos from last Halloween when we went to Night Eyes at our local zoo.

I created a couple focal points with the cut out spider webs.

The middle of each spider web is embellished with layered die-cuts and stickers.

I also used my Cameo to cut out the "halloween" part of the title.

I love being able to use so many photos on a two-page layout. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
