Canvas Dream Big

I have been meaning to make a canvas for work some time now and the soft tones of the Nature Walk and Cold Country inspired me to finally go for it. I taped a video while working with this piece so you can see the process. Hopefully you’ll enjoy!

And here is step-by-step video:

Happy No. 1

This layout is about my happy place, my craft table which is also known as our living room bureau. I combined the peaceful, neutral paper from Illumination to colorfulness of the Hopefully papers. The embellishments are mainly from Illumination collection, but I also added a few diecuts from Nature Walk and even a lady sticker from Cold Country. She had such a nice, a bit mysterious smile so I thought it would make a great addition to the layout.

My 10

I did a layout about my first born not so long ago and asked her about her favorite things. When my younger one saw that, she immediately wanted the same kind of page. So the next day, I did this for her. The journaling is at the back of the layout and it lists her current 10 favorite things. I used gesso and Gelatos for the background and layered papers from Illumination, Nature Walk and All I Ever underneath the photo. I love how well all the collections co-ordinate and you can mix and match them!
