My first layout with is all about my boys and their Mimi (my mom). My boys have such a special relationship with their Mimi and I took the opportunity to document it with this month's kit.
I decided to keep the journaling private so I created this cute little file folder using my Cricut and an svg file I found on the internet, printed my journaling on the reverse side of the patterned paper, and secured it with a tiny glue dot to the back of this sweet heart metal clip from Basic Grey.
And just a quick image of my titlework. These chipboard letters from Cosmo Cricket are the perfect size and I loved that I could use the long arrow to ground my title.
For my next layout I decided to scrap some photos of my cutie patootie nephew Eli that I snapped while we were vacationing with my sister's family down in Ocean City, NJ a few weeks ago. Isn't he just a doll? And it just so happens that his bathing suit matched the colors in the plaid paper in this kit perfectly (and no that was not planned! LOL).
I wanted this layout to have a really whimsical feel to it so I first added a little mist to my vanilla cardstock background before laying down my patterned papers. I created a sun for my layout with a circle punch and just strips of yellow patterend paper cut to varying lengths.
One of the patterned papers had a banner border on the reverse so I cut out a few of the "flags" and used them as part of my title work. Yes, my little nephew is quite the beach babe!
And that's about it. I have two more layouts to share with you that I created using the Frugal Fab kit this month. Christy did an amazing job with the Frugal Fab kit again this month - I have no idea how she packs so. much. stuff. into a $19.95 kit but when I say it's well worth the money (and then some) take my word for it! Plus it features patterned paper and chipboard pieces by Pebbles Inc. And ya'll know how much I love Pebbles! ;)
