CANDY CARNIVAL LAYOUT | with Caroli

Last year, for the very first time since I became a mom,  I didn't spend a Halloween with my kids. The reason was because I was out of my country on a scrapbooking convention. The kids had a blast anyway with their dad and my in-laws, and I got to enjoy a different kind of halloween with my friends!
This is what I wanted to document on this layout, of course I used fabulous Candy Carnival collection.

One thing I loved about this collection is the new shaped brad package, in particular the spider brad which is really cute and not scary at all! I started thinking of ways of using these brands and I came up with some interactive photos here and there...

Using brads you can create cute movable elements on your page, in this case I used circle shaped photos and being them I wrote my journaling. I love the effect!
As base of this page I used this gorgeous patterned paper, love the black and white on the back. Also, I created few embellishments clusters here and there using the Odds & Ends package and some Doodle Pops.
For my title I cut word "halloween" using my electronic cutting machine in black cardstock and using Better Together free front. I completed the sentence with some Tiny Typos alpha in orange color.




I love how simple this page came out, but at the same time it has a lot of thing happening! I feel so proud I got to use those cute brads, I'm definitively trying this on another layout again :)



I do hope you like this idea, maybe you have some brads there waiting to be used, now you have a excuse to crack the package open! Thank you for stopping by, have a lovely day!

I❤️TRAVEL - PAPER TOTE FILLED WITH GOODIES | with Shellye

Travel in style with this adorable paper tote filled with fun goodies featuring the brand new "I Love Travel" Collection! Inside you'll find old-fashioned board games, cute luggage tags and a mini journal for jotting down memories.

To begin I crafted this simple luggage-style tote from Doodlebug Bon-Bon cardstock.  Here are the measurements for creating the 7" X 4.5" X 1.75" tote:
Cut cardstock to 12"X7".  Score the 12" length at 4.5", 6" and 7.5".  Fold along score lines and then corner round all four corners.  Next make two tabs from the same brown cardstock that measure 2.5"X3.75".  Score the strips at 1" and 2.75".  Attach to the front and back of the piece to create the sides of the tote:

For the front and back I cut two strips of Ladybug cardstock to 3/4" X 4.5"  and adhered them as shown:
The handles were made from a loop of the same 3/4" X 12" Ladybug cardstock. I used large brads to attach the handles.

Next I crafted a couple of "board" games that were laminated so that they could be written on with a dry-erase maker and then easily erased. 


Using the sheet of  4X6 journal cards I made this quick and easy booklet:


To create the booklet I scored each journal card approximately 1/4" from the left edge. After prepping a cover from a 8.5"X 6.25" sheet of patterned paper, the cards were attached  along the scored tab.



Finally I used these adorable 3X4 cards and turned them into luggage tags.  The fronts were embellished with enamel shapes and sweet bows.

You can find more ideas for board games and even printables that can be printed onto patterned paper! So whether one is traveling by train, plane or automobile, this cute tote makes a great gift and keepsake!
Thank you for joining me today!
