Come fly with me!

Do you have one of those collections that no matter how many pages you create with it, you still seem to have a ton left over???  I feel like I have been working with this Dear Lizzy "Lucky Charm" collection for months (and I have), and I still have so much of it!  That's OK, though, cause I like it!  :)  I used today's sketch from the sketch blog at My Scraps & More for this page!

OK, so I have some embellies from a few other lines here:  The chipboard kite is from Crate Paper and the yellow doilies are from a piece of Fancy Pants papers.  The bow is from Crate Paper Maggie Holmes collection.  The colors on the kit weren't exactly the right shade for my page, so I cut out some papers that matched and popped them off the chipboard.

Layering some papers and stickers and die-cuts....also some fun swirly stitching in the background.

And my journaling pulls out from the side!

What collections are you trying to work through???

Stay scrappy my friends!

Today I have a fun layout to share with you!  While walking through Target a few weeks ago, I saw this bed set and immediately thought SCRAPBOOK PAGE!  :)  I mean, chevrons, ombre, and white space???  Yes please!

So this is what I came up with!  I love the movement of the chevrons on this image, so I wanted to use them to help convey the movement in my photo of my daughter running and jumping off the dock.

I chose some blue papers from different collections (Crate Paper, Fancy Pants, Studio Calico) that went from dark to lighter to create the ombre effect.  I cut strips 1.25" long, and then cut chevrons from them of varying sizes  I just cut the first few chevron pieces from the dark navy free hand, but them used them to cut the right shapes for the other shades of blue so the arrows would line up.

I accented with a few other colors to make it fun and summery (most products from Crate Paper The Pier collection), and again, some more sequins to give that sparkling water look!  Finally some contrast with some circles in cork and woodgrain and some splatters of yellow mist.

Thanks for stopping by today for the hop and stay scrappy my friends!
