Silhouette Frame

Hello and Happy Tuesday!! Today I have a cute and simple home decor piece to share with you using the "Balboa" kit.

I have been putting pieces together, both homemade and store bought, for my oldest daughter's room. We are going to do a mini gallery wall, with a collage of fun, and inspiration pieces. I loved the bright colors and chalkboard elements in the "Balboa" kit, and knew that it would go along perfectly with her room decor.

I knew I wanted to use this sticker from the Hazel and Ruby set the minute I saw it, I thought it would be perfect to pair with a simple silhouette.

I layered it with some a label sticker from Chic Tags, and one of the speech bubbles from the Hazel and Ruby set. Made for a fun little bit of interest, and helped it to stand out more against the bold pink background.
It still needed a little something else, so layering one of the acetate flowers and wood buttons, I made a "bow" for the ponytail. Then using the glitter glue, included in our kit, I thickly applied it at an angle to the ponytail, this gave it texture, and sparkle!

All put together, this is going to make for a great addition to her collage...and she loves it, so that's always a plus! :)

My World

 ~ HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ~

Hearts, candy, red, pink...however you celebrate, I hope you don't forget to treat yourself good too!

My family is "My World," day in and day out, we are together all the time.  We are a bunch of goofballs, but that's the way we like it.  This photo of us says it all.

My first idea to scrap about my family was to cut a lot of hearts, and stitch them into a heart shape.  It didn't turn out the way I expected.  I let the cut hearts just fall on the paper, hoping to spark something, and it did...so I glued them onto a piece of pattern paper, layering them one on top of another.  

Then pop dotted the frame to put on top, trimming the excess hearts.  So it looks like a shaker, but they don't shake.  I added the banner on top with more pop dots.  I picked a few more pieces of paper and embellishments, and I needed to find a photo or photos before I went on.  

This is from one of those photo booths at the mall, and was perfect.  I added a border punch to the Basic Grey paper, and started to layer.  Decided to add some swirls and drops of mist, and a little bit of masking with dye ink, so did that before I glued everything down.  For a little more color, I fussy cut the banner from Crate Paper to layer at the top.

That flower is just gorgeous, and even though I had the large embellished frame and hearts, the flower was a nice touch to add some sweetness to the quirky photos of us.

Love to you all, and hope you have a wonderful {Heart} day!
