Hola Scrapbookers!
Today I come with a Basicgrey two page layout! Christian is Heather’s youngest son, and the main subjet of this layout! Isn’t he just the cutest! He is in love with “dancing” around the house! Especially when hes excited!! So when its his birthday, we always make sure to have a video camera, and camera present!! Heather made this layout using Basic Grey and Bazzill Paper. She used the Obscure Basic Grey Line. She also used S.E.I Brads to accent plain spaces throughout the layout. . Its simple, cute, and uses that new paper you’ve had waiting for a project to come around!!!
So sit, and enjoy!
Keep Scrapping!

Attention Making Memories Lovers!
Sometimes its just about the embellishments! This ADORABLE Making Memories Page would have not been the same if Heather hadn’t used all these embellishments! From the epoxy flower, to the buttons, to even the little accents of ribbon. This page is adorable!!
Its a cute and simple way to make any page!
Heres HOW!:
- Adhere 2 photos to Bazzill paper, and then adhere to page.
- Trim a 7 ½” piece of white eyelet lace and mount below the photos.
- Use the Making Memories Tag Curler to attach one Making Memories epoxy curling tag to cream brulee beaded ribbon and mount over white eyelet lace.
- Use scissors to trim one die-cut frame in half diagonally. Staple 5″ piece of white eyelet lave round frame and adhere to page.
- Create layered flowers using die-cuts, blossoms, buttons, and velvet brads.
- Adhere flowers to page. Adhere one die-cut journaling shape to page.
- Embellish using epoxy shapes, buttons, and velvet brads.
- Use a black pen for journaling.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
