Summer Layout | Fancy Pants Designs

Happy Tuesday!

Today I'm sharing a layout I created for Foundations Decor/Fancy Pants Designs...

This layout was SO FUN to put together...and it definitely has me longing for warm summer days spent with friends...

One of my favorite things about this layout is the background...is that weird?

Probably.

This is the paper I used...

I know, I know...this probably doesn't look like the perfect background paper...but it works perfectly for this layout. When topped with the other background papers, it creates this cool colorblock look I love.

I took another sheet of this same design...cut it down a bit...and used the "B" side as the next layer of my background.

Then I cut down a sheet a white cardstock to make the final layer of my background.

I added my photo and then began layering ephemera & tags.

I played around with things quite a bit before I decided on a design I really love...

I added a few journaling strips & some puffy dots, and then I stamped the PERFECT ink splotches exactly where I wanted them.

**TIP: Use adhesive dots to adhere layers to your page.

This will give your embellishments depth and will add visual interest**

I love all of the layers in this page...and I hope I've inspired you to use some fun layering on your next page.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

xoxo

A look through my latest TN | Day 5

Hello, hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

How was your Easter?

Ours was fine...super laid-back...online church, card games, driving practice for Grayson, Easter dinner & movie night.

We're going through a cold snap here in Chicago, so, unfortunately, the next week staying home may be a little more difficult...ugh.

BUT, that's OK...we're one day closer to normal, right?

How about a look at Day 5 in my "think HAPPY" TN?

This is another super simple spread that came together quickly, and without too many supplies.

To create this design, I printed out a single photo, and cut it down the middle. I matted each side of the photo on a cut of white cardstock, and then adhered them across the middle of my notebook.

I typed up my journaling on some white cardstock and then cut and added each strip to the right-hand side of my spread.

Next, I cut some strips of patterned paper (just slightly over 1/4" wide) and added them to the top and bottom of each side of my notebook.

Finally, I added a few more little embellishments and called it a day!

This basic layout can be customized simply by...

*Changing the orientation of the photo or paper strips

*Using washi tape instead of paper to embellish the edges of your notebook

*Handwriting your journaling

*Keeping your photo on one side of your spread, and moving all of the journaling & embellishments to the other side

*Adding patterned paper to your notebook pages to create a background for your photo

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Come on back on Wednesday for Day 6!

A look through my latest TN | Day 4

Day 4!

Here's today's spread...

This is probably one of my most simple spreads in the notebook...but it's also one of my favorites...and I made it with just a single photo and a set of stamps (and a sticker...😊...oh, and a little piece of patterned paper...that's it...).

I layered & overlapped the stamps and my journaling a bit to make them look a little more natural and utilitarian. I love the look of all of the old-timey notebooks and journals...and a little less deliberate look really makes me think of those older books.

Thank you so much for taking a little time out of your day today to stop by!

In case you missed them, you can see my first 3 spreads from this notebook HERE, HERE, & HERE

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend...😘
