Tags, Tags and more Tags!

I have been loving tags on layouts recently and couldn’t wait to make a layout
 focusing on tags.

For this layout, I created my own tags from the GCD Studios Special Delivery collection. 

 For that, I used Jack (#2043) and Zach (#2048) papers.  The little cards were prefect for tags.  I use a pre-made tag for my template and then traced and cut the cards into tags.  I punched 5/8 circles from black cardstock and adhered them to the tag.  Lastly, I punched a hole through each tag and added twine. 

Here are some close ups:

Product:

GCD Studio’s Special Delivery papers: George (#2037), Dillon (#2040), Guido (#2042),  Jack (#2043), Zach (#2048) and Spencer (#2046);  Paperclips (#2054);  Brads (#2053); Alpha Stickers (#2051) and Label stickers (#2052).  Other: cardstock and twine.

GCD Studios - Dream a Little Dream Layout

Hi There!  Today I am sharing with you a layout I created using GCD Studios Pure Bliss collection:

 I just love working with GCD Studios product and Pure Bliss collection was perfect for this photo of my daughter.  I also used different pieces of Pure Bliss scraps to make the lollipop flower. It was simple, I just free hand cut a bunch of different size circles from different papers. I then distressed the edges and crumbled them in my hands.  After that I layered and placed an awesome brad in the center.  The leaves were cut from scraps of the Bows paper. Here's are some close ups:

GCD supplies: Pure Bliss Papers - Alphabet (#2019), Happy Hoops (#2018), Bows (#2028), Journal tags (#2025) and Crossword (#2021).  Also used Pure Bliss Embellishments - Die Cut Borders (#2036), Paper Clips, (#2035) Brads (#2034), and label stickers (#2033). Other: Twine.

GCD Studios - Spring Layout

Hello Crafters! I am sooo excited to present to you my first project that I created as a Design Team Member for GCD Studios!  I can’t even begin to tell you how much I LOVE this stuff!!  If you haven’t gotten your hands on it yet, you need too! :) 

Fun Spring Memories

For this layout, I wanted to showcase how to use multiple photos on a layout without having to create a double page.  I struggle with double page layouts so this is a perfect solution for me.  

I use a free photo editing program online called Picasa.  Picasa allows you to create collages with a variety of choices.  This program allows me to get 6 photos into a 5x7 allowing me enough space to create a one page layout without over crowding. 

The Nostalgia Cutouts were prefect to add dimension to my layout.  I fussy cut some of the flowers and popped it up and added the adhesive pearls from Kathy Davis’s Ambrosia and Happiness collection. 

It all went together great!

GCD Studios supplies: Nostalgia Flourish in Red (#1993) and Floral Tile papers (#1989), Nostalgia Cutouts (#1992), Donna Salazar’s Fun & Funky Chipboard Alphas (#2106), and Kathy Davis’s Ambrosia Adhesive Pearls (1886 & 1887) & Glitter Epoxy Dots (#1868) Adhesive Pearls. Other:  washi tape, ribbon and pins.
