Butterfly Frames Layout by Yui Oku

Wednesday, August 2, 2023

Hi everyone! Yui Oku here today with a new layout using Paige's Butterfly Frame cut file along with her Blooming Wild collection!
I shrunk the Butterfly Frame to fit in a 6 inch square and cut 4 of them from white cardstock. At first I thought I would paint them with watercolors, but I found Paper 18 for the background instead! And I have same photos of my daughter in dresses in the same colors - except yellow, do I need to buy a yellow dress just for this layout? Lol! I wanted to use embellishments tone-on-tone to give a sense of unity. So I chose hearts from the Chipboard Stickers and frames from the Chipboard Frame Stickers. I also searched for phrases of the same color. I couldn't find a yellow phrase that worked so I made my own with yellow Thickers. Lastly I placed a flower from the Cardstock Stickers in the middle of the layout. "Give me all the Colors" is the perfect phrase for this layout! My daughter wants dresses in all the colors!
I hope this layout inspires you to use Paige's Butterfly Frame cut file along with her Blooming Wild collection!

A Dream is a Wish (Hand Cut Title) Layout by Paige Evans

Tuesday, August 1, 2023

I taught a Virtual Layouts Class last week and here is the other page we made featuring a ransom style hand cut title! The class is available online HERE. I used the Stardust collection by Jen Hadfield to create this page and documented Jane after her first solo trip to the mall - an important rite of passage :)

I looooove patterned paper most of all so whenever I can include lots and lots of patterns and designs on a page, you can be sure I will! A great way to do just that is to make a long title and so in class we learn how to cut our own letters - all using the Stardust collection.

Upon purchase of the Virtual Layouts Class a PDF will be emailed with the link to the YouTube video on the first page, a list of supplies to buy or gather from your stash, photo sizes, instructions, any homework needed to be completed before the class, and templates to download/print/cut. The class is saved for rewatching at your convenience.

Let me know if you have any questions about anything, always happy to help!

I hope you are inspired to check out my Virtual Layouts Class featuring layered die cut flowers!

July 2023 Highlights

Here's what we were up to in July 2023!
For the 3rd year in a row we went to Wallace for the 4th of July to be with my entire family. I scrapped the entire vacation in a 6x8 album which you can see HERE.
An evening walk with Fox.
Johnny Was is coming to the Park Meadows Mall! I'm giddy!
Finally figuring out how to curl my own hair hahaha. Only took 38 years ;)
I got Invisalign. So far I have 15 trays. I'm excited to have straight teeth!
Flowers from around our yard.
Homemade snow cones at Nana and Papa's.
Summer evening storms continue. We got the biggest hail I've ever seen.
Minutes later a double rainbow appeared.
Nana took Fox and Jane to the Denver Art Museum to do some fun projects. Fox sent me this cute selfie.
Jane turned 11!!!
She got a smooch from Sandy as a present.
I took Jane and two of her besties and Fox and his bestie to Pirates Cove for the day.
Happy boy!
For dinner Jane requested Fujiyama Hibachi Grill.
On Saturday July 1st Berry & Cherry laid 4 eggs. Two weeks later on July 14th they hatched. Two weeks later on Sunday July 29th they flew the nest! This is the 3rd clutch of the year and 5th clutch overall that have hatched in our sconce. We've populated our neighborhood with 23 house finches and I couldn't be more proud :)

We saw two movies in July - Mission Impossible and Oppenheimer. Both were pretty good!
My boo!
