Hi, all!  Happy Monday!  Today I have another layout to share with y'all, but there's no video for this one.  The layout came together really quickly, actually, but you'll notice that I had forgotten to add the title until after I'd already taken the photos.  Oops. =)

 

 

The background paper is from Carta Bella's "Hello Again" collection; one of the papers I got in my giant 2Peas haul (if you haven't seen that post yet, go check it out!  It comes with a video, too).  I matted the photo on a dark purple polka dot, which is barely visible, but just enough to have the photo stand out a little bit.  Without it, the photo was blending into those gray papers too much.  Both purple papers by the way, are from older collections and I honestly can't remember the names of them.  The dark gray polka dot and medium gray striped paper are both from 3 Bugs in a Rug, from their "Frisky" collection, which at first glance is a very themed cat collection.  But the back sides are all very versatile and mostly neutral.  The light gray/white stripe is from Amy Tangerine's "ready set go" collection, and I used the smaller 6x6 sheet from the paper pad instead of cutting into a whole 12x12 (mainly because I like the paper so much as a background).

 

 

I love that super cute yellow fabric camera with the potty people on it!  It's so cute!  And also from Amy Tan, from her "oh yes!" collection.  The purple washi tape is one of my favs, but I don't use it often, so I'm super glad it worked in this layout.  It's from etsy, but I don't remember the name of the store, unfortunately.  Both journaling stickers are from the Dear Lizzy "Everyday" collection.  And yellow rhinestones are from Abi's Craft.

 

 

You can really see the pretty gold mist in the photo above (Heidi Swapp Color Shine in "gold lamé).  The dimensional sticker is from Amy Tangerine's "doodle" collection, and sadly I'm almost all done with the embellishments from that collection.  Though, I guess that's also a good thing, so I can move on and get more things! =)  And I adore that label sticker from My Mind's Eye, from "The Sweetest Thing" collection.  It reads: I love you just the way you are and it's adorable!

 

Anyway, that's it for this layout!  Hope you all have a great Monday!

Happy scrapping if you get the time!

2Peas Black Friday Haul

Happy Saturday, friends!  Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.  So, if you haven't checked it out already, definitely do so now!  I have a video posted over on my channel about my Two Peas in a Bucket haul from Black Friday:

 

 I know it's so belated, but I made sure to keep everything in the box until I filmed the video, and as tempted as I was, I didn't play with any of the goodies until I got some good photos of them to share with you all.  =)  Two Peas had some amazing deals, and I scored on a bunch of stuff! 

I was able to get 2 out of 3 Glitz Design collections that I had been dying to get: Raven and Finnley (pictured above).  I had also been really wanting to get Wild & Free, but it sold out so quickly!  That aside though, I love these collections, and am so stoked that I got my hands on them!  The colours of Finnley are beautiful and bright, and the little icons of Raven are oh so fun.  

I also got a ton of Echo Park papers.  Though I didn't get whole collection packs, I did get a bunch of 12x12 patterned papers and cut-apart sheets from Paper & Glue, Let's Picnic, Yellow Submarine, Totally Teal and Here & Now.  That top cut-apart sheet in the photo above is from Crate Paper, from their The Pier collection.  Also from Crate Paper, I got their Bundled Up winter collection, which I absolutely adore!

One of my favourite papers that I picked up from Studio Calico includes that navy anchor one (pictured above) from their Atlantic collection.  I managed to get a couple more from that collection, but not as many as I would've liked.  

I had been wishing for some Freckled Fawn wood frames, and those awesome 2Peas exclusive wood vaneer cards (in the pictures above and below) for the longest time, so I'm glad I stocked up!  Also really loving those Christmas Wise Words from Jillibean Soup.  They're perfect for all the Christmas scrapping I've been doing lately.  And that 12x12 die-cut, also from Jillibean Soup (photo above) is so freakin' gorgeous!  It's perfect for someone like me, who doesn't have a die-cutting machine of my own.  =)

 Lastly, some of the other Halloween collections that I scored include Thirty-One by Pebbles (I love those chalkboard stickers!), and Bewitched by We R Memory Keepers.  I don't know what it is about Halloween collections, but I just adore them, and usually tend to hoard them more than actually use them.  Because they're just so pretty!  I also picked up some of the papers from the Hello Again collection by Carta Bella (that floral and arrow paper in the photo above are some of my favs!) and a couple from the Lucky Charm collection by Dear Lizzy.

Anyway, hope you all have a great night!  And I will be back with another post in a couple days.

Happy scrapping, friends!
