Monochromatic In White Layout

Hey everyone! Have you ever done a monochromatic scrapbook layout? Well, I saw one in the gallery on Scrapbook dot com and I was inspired to try it. I love using some color and was tempted to add other soft colors but resisted! LOL! The picture had some lavender on the cake and I added a tiny bit of it to the title "love."

A few years ago, my sweet mother-in-law was given a surprise birthday party at her church. It was an amazing event and I just loved this picture of her cutting her cake. I wrote all about the event and hid the journaling behind the picture.

This layout was featured on my latest YouTube video entitled, "My 6 Quarantine Favorite Craft Buys- PART 2" if you missed it. These flower dies were the 6th item on my favorite craft supply list.  Link Here

I used Sizzix flower dies, Anna Griffin's floral embossing folder for the strips and leaves, "love" and swirl dies. Also, I painted the flowers with silver glitter paint and added silver sequins. Love how this page turned out.  Take a closer look!

Sizzix dies are from Scrapbook dot com and the Anna Griffin folder and dies are from her website.




I love adding hidden journaling!

I hope you are inspired to try a monochromatic style on your next scrapbook page. It was fun to make and I hope to try it again.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

    This layout is gorgeous. I love the embossed white paper and the diagonal stripes of embossed and non-embossed paper. The hidden journaling is a great touch. Beautiful, elegant page.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
