adventures in baseball | pink paislee

Over on the Pink Paislee blog we are going Design Lab posts.  We are sharing the tricks that we use regularly to make our layouts.  For this post I shared my love of all things simple.  My pages tend to be very "white-space" and focus on the photo I have used.

Dare to Dream | Clique Kits layout

I have another page over at Clique Kits using the June "Dream Quest" kit.  This one is about my journey to be me and find joy in being myself.

 Head on ever to the CK blog for details and more of the story.

this is the life | page maps layout

I cannot believe I forgot to share this here!  Last month the Pink Paislee crew was asked to help make samples with the June Page Maps.  Honestly, this was the first time I tried creating with a page maps sketch.  It was so much fun!!!!  

Also, I used a patterned cardstock for my background.  That NEVER happens.  I loved this striped paper from Pink Paislee's Atlas collection though and just had to use it.

Let's Go | Clique Kits June Challenge Layout

Wow.  It's been a while since I have posted here.  Life has really been a bit crazy.  

Today I have a page I made as a guest designer for Clique Kits.  This one is for the June "anything goes" challenge on their blog.  

the layout:

 I just loved this kit from the moment I got it in the mail.  I had and still have so many layouts planned with it.  The colors, patterns and bits of gold are perfect for my summer photos from a last year. 

 For this page I wanted to keep things simple (like most of the time) and really focus on this adorable shot of my little girl.  Keeping things in a line across the page and strategically scattering the fabulous elements helped with that.  Of course I had to use the gorgeous gold alpha (my minds eye) and add a little of my lettering.   Adding a little stitching to a few spots just made the whole page for me.
