February Project Highlight - Sweet Safari

This month I used the Sweet Safari paper pack to highlight photos from a Baseball game we went to a few years ago. I totally changed the paper pack to use the primary colors to highlight our summer fun! I used Silver Glitter Gems for embellishments and the Picture My Life Cards for Journaling. I also used the Simple Serif Upper Case Alphabet Letters to stamp out my titles to customize it for my layouts.

January Project Highlight - Happiness Lives Here Part 2

These are additional layouts that I did with the Happiness Lives Here Paper Pack. This time I used the Happiness Lives Here Scrapbook Workshop Kit. In this kit, the layouts are pre-designed for you! You just have to do a few cuts on the papers and then follow the instructions. I also used the Waterfall Stickles Glitter Glue on the layout and loved how it added additional bling to the layouts. Here are the layouts that I did with my photos. Hope this inspires you to use your photos too!
