Layouts by Tamara

Wow - MME's latest Winter release is amazing!!! Just when I think I have seen it all - MME astounds me again with incredible new designs and innovate products. I had such a delightful time designing these layouts to display at CHA.

 

Supplies: Chalk Studio II: Remember patterned paper, Word Soup patterned paper, Shine patterned paper, 6x6 papers pad (blue and dot), tags, sticker labels, decorative brads, decorative alphabet, enamel dots, sticker icons, chipboard; Misc: Black ink, pen, and thread, white gel pen.

My first layout is"Happy Today", using the fabulous Chalk Studio II collection.  I just love the fresh yellow, pink and blue colors mixed with chalk art.  I used a fun photo with all the same bright colors (of my daughter playing at the park 9 years ago).

The background paper already had a great blue border and "today" title printed on it.  I added strips of paper and banners across the bottom of the page and matted the photo with a 6x6 polka dot paper. I accented the photo with a large label sticker, tag, chipboard, and sticker icon. Aren't the epoxy letter stickers great?  

 

 

 

Supplies: Now and Then - Milo: Shimmer patterned paper, 6x6 pad, sticky notes, enamel shapes, decorative brads, label stickers, mixed bag die cuts, enamel dots, accent stickers, journaling cards, chipboard, and decorative tape; Misc: Cream thread and black pen. 

 

My second layout was designed with the "Now and Then" Milo collection.  I used a fun photo of my 2 year old son playing in the sunshine.  The 3x4 journaling cards provided the perfect titles for my page.  I only used a 12x12 for the background paper, the rest of the papers came from the 6x6 pad.

 

I used the awesome, new wide decorative tape with the beautiful medallions for the border and anchor for my page. I LOVE the giant shiny silver ampersand and silver chipboard elements. I embellished my page with enamel arrows, enamel dots, chipboard, word stickers, brads, accent stickers, and a cool "Friday" sticky note.

 

 

 

 

Supplies: Now and Then - Izzy: Regard paper, Smart paper, Dapper patterned paper, 6x6 pad, flair pins, enamel shapes, mixed bag die-cuts, enamel dots, accent stickers, journalin cards, decorative brads, label stickers, chipboard, decorative tape; Misc: Black ink and pen, teal thread.

 

 

I can't believe how perfectly the colors of the new "Now and Then" Izzy line go with my recent family portrait.  The title: "Joy, Love, Laughter, & Smiles" captures the feelings we share as a family.  I framed the photo with a 6x6 paper and a strip of blue patterned paper.  I tucked a journaling card under the edge and used another one for the title.  I embellished it with an enamel dot and fabulous blue enamel shaped ampersand.

 

 

I created a cascade of horizontal elements under the photo with decorative tape, chipboard, stickers, and a banner paper.  I embellished it with a huge orange flair pin, silver chipboard key, brad, and enamel dot. I added a double row of stitching around the page and used it to attach three banners from the mixed bag die-cuts and the cool wide decorative tape with colored label frames.

 

Thanks so much by stopping by today, have a wonderful Thursday!
