Good Morning, sweet friends!
Hope today dawned full of sunshine and possibilites.
And that Springing Forward didn’t kick your hiney too hard. 🙂
As for me? I’m always sleep deprived, so today is no different.
But I’m thanking the good Lord for that extra hour of sunshine in the evening.
I need that here in snowy RI.
I have a new layout to share today…I threw this one together yesterday…all in ONE chunk of time!
I discovered that I could scrapbook with the babies. By using washi tape. All I had to do was hand them piece
after piece
after piece
while I was working on my page…and they just stuck it all over themselves. And laughed REALLY hard. It was awesome.
And luckily I’m a fast scrapbooker!
I’ve been wanting to make a washi heart for a layout ever since I made them with the bigs in February.
So I made one using my favorite tapes. Easy,right? Cover a piece of cardstock with your favorite tapes and then cut a heart from the paper.
A note: I trimmed the gold AC glitter tape into chevrons/arrows because I wanted some white to peek through.
I grabbed the triangle tag from Chic Tags and wanted to add it to the layout somehow…and discovered I could just adhere it as the bottom of the heart.
I mounted the entire heart on a doily (natch).
Supply List:
yellow anchor tape- glitz design
bokeh (dot) tape- glitz design
yellow floral,black and white dot fabric tapes-basicGrey
gold glitter tape- american crafts
teal stripe tape- freckled fawn
pink woodgrain tape-not sure, think it’s an older american crafts tape
with love tape- you can find it on Etsy
glitter alphabet- Reminisce for Michaels
“awesome” badge- Dear Lizzy
heart paperclip- Target dollar spot
star sequin,doily- Michaels
“you melt my ♥” triangle tag- Chic Tags
“happiness captured” fabric tag-basicGrey
chipboard floral accents-basicGrey
enamel dots-MME
small chipboard hearts- dear lizzy
pen- american crafts precision pen
My final step was (of course) one of the embellishment clusters that I have to always put on my layouts.
I added a cute badge, some chipboard pieces, a clip, a fabric tag, and a sequin.
A glitter title (added some tiny chipboard hearts in place of the o’s)+journaling+my ever-present enamel dots= DONE.
Aren’t those heart clips SO cute? i got them a while back in the dollar spot at Target.
I have to say that this page makes me happy.
One of those “grin the whole time you’re making it” pages.
The best.
And the babies agreed! Ha!
Happy Sunday, y’all!
xoxo
and indeed this is one fabulous layout!! wish I had been there while you were making it to see the girl taping bits and having fun!
That. Is adorable! And I’m dreading getting up tomorrow. Luckily my work is on my own time, but my girlie has to get up at 6 for school…..I might sneak back to bed 😉
Love!!! Love everything about this LO. I’ll have to give the “washi distraction” technique a try over spring break. 🙂
Such an amazing page, Steph!!
This is really cute!!! I love your washi tape distraction too!!! LOL That would of been so fun to see! 🙂
The extra hour of sunshine didn’t exist here.. it started raining in the wee hours yesterday morning and now has turned back into snow. One positive, temps are in the 20’s.
Darling page!! Love the idea of using washi tape and then cutting out a shape! LOVE!! And the dollar spot at Target is the best for finding those rare scrapbooking pieces. Just the other day I found some craft shaped stickers! 🙂
Picturing those chubby, beautiful babies chortling whilst plastering themselves with washi tape is an instant shot of happy to the arm. 😀 AWESOME. 🙂 Love your page, too, mama. Precious.
