Yearbook: Documenting Current Life

Hello everybody! Caroli here with another project using September’s kit Moon Child.

When I first saw this kit the floral sheet of paper by Kaisercraft it really caught my eye, love its  colors and feminine look. Also, I thought it was perfect for fussy cutting, and considering this is my fave technique ever, this inmediately became my favorite paper from the kit.

I made this layout for documenting an important fact: me getting back to work after almost 10 months of maternity leave.  It’s been a smooth transition to this new life as a working mom now with two kids, I have great coworkers and a awesome boss, who have made easy my return to the office. Of course I miss my kids a lot, but it’s not been as hard as I thought it would be, so I wanted to document this happy moment and my feelings.
As I said, I love these flowers and liked the idea of overlapping some of them using foam dots.

 

The Thickers included in the kit are so cool and great for titles, in combination with the chipboard alpha by Fancy Pants, love the effect of these two together.

 

These cute butterflies by Pretty Little Studio go so well with the flowers, I used few to embellish my page.

 

And here’s the full project. I love the clean and delicate look of this layout, the colors in this kit are so beautiful!

 

I hope you like this idea, I had a lot of fun this month playing with Moon Child kit and enjoy sharing my project with you, see you around!

Geeklab: Photos with Volume

Hello everyone, how are you today? Caroli here again and today I want to show you this layout I made with lots of circles and volume.

If you know me you will know I love circles and volume, I use a lot of 3d embellies and foam dots on my pages, but why limit volume to embellishments and paper? This time I also want to add volume to my photo.

I will start by printing the pic I want to use twice, and also use my good old circle punches.

Then I will cut the focus of my photo as a circle and cut little circles of the rest of it, making sure they overlay in some parts of the main photo, this is very impoprtant to achieve the effect of volume of the photo. Finally, I will use some foam dots to stick the circles and will work on my layout.

This is how my project came out, I love the bubble-like look. Also the colors of this kit are perfect for my baby boy photos, don’t you think he is a cutie pie?  🙂 ❤

I hope you like this idea, it’s so simple but the result is pretty and fun. Thanks for stopping by and see you soon on another post this month!
