Six Pages in One

In case you haven't noticed, I am OBSESSED with flip-flaps! I love that I can use them to add more pictures to a layout, so that I don't have several pages for one event. I especially love that the large assortment can be used to create additional pages attached to an original layout. Essentially, you can create six pages in a single layout! Plus, the layouts become interactive, which my two-year old son LOVES!

In the past, when I have created these full spreads using flip flaps, I have used a pattern from one of CTMH's how-to books. But, this time, all of the pages were original designs, which was super time consuming, but I am really happy about the end result. 

For the left page, I created my own B&T using stamping and accented with a Picture My Life card and stickers. Although the cardstock is CTMH, the paper pack I used for this spread was from Bella Carta.

This is the inside of the left page. I used random stamping and PML cards here again. The paper gears on the right side were cut using Artiste. 

For the right page, I used some stenciling for the background on one side. I also colored some stamped images of a robot family.

For the inside of the right page, I used more random stamping, and created a banner using stamping and the Art Philosophy cartridge. In the middle, I highlighted the number 2, because these pages are for my son's 2nd birthday trip to the Science Museum. 

And there you have it! Six pages in one layout! I am entering this layout in Heart 2 Heart's Through the Window challenge.

Ingredients:

• Later Sk8r Picture My Life Cards
• Great Job
• Positive Chemistry
• Bodacious Banners
• Colonial White Cardstock
• Cranberry Cardstock
• Saffron Ink

Happy Scrapping, My Artsy Friends!

Cars, Trucks, Boy's Life

Hello again, scrappers! I am a little behind in my posting, because I was attending my upline's mini convention over the weekend. I learned so much about the new catalogs that I cannot wait to share it with all of you in a few short weeks! I am still booking parties for the fall, but I am filling up fast, so if you are interested in earning some awesome hostess rewards please contact me ASAP.

Onto the fun stuff... Last week, the Heart 2 Heart Challenge was Ticket to Ride. Since, H2H gives participants the entire month to complete tasks, I am posting mine today!

I decided to create a layout showcasing my son's awesome playroom that my husband and I created for his 2nd birthday. My son is a busy boy who absolutely loves cars and trucks.

So, for this layout I used CTMH Honey and Cranberry cardstock and Topiary ink, but the bulk of the layout was made using Bo Bunny's On the Go paper pack and accessories. This paper pack had the feel we were going for in the playroom.

To embellish, I used some of the coordinating accessories, a Rub-on from Hobby Lobby, and a stencil from Heidi Swapp. I put it all together using a layout from the Make It From the Heart Vol. 1. This layout is a fun design perfect for this topic!

Ingredients:

• Honey Cardstock
• Cranberry Cardstock
• Topiary Ink Pad
• Make It From the Heart Vol. 1

Happy Scrapping, My Artsy Friends!
