I love this!!! I found it the other day and pinned it on my Pinterest "Words to Live By" board. I knew I wanted to use it on a layout & found the perfect pic while searching through my photos.

This is Ryan outside this fall, enjoying being outdoors & looking so cute with his puppy dog cuddled up beside him - love it!!! Almost all supplies are from the November Polka Dot Whimsy kit - such a great mix of goodies in these kits!!!

A quick close-up of my "messy" border stitching (had fun with this) & this great stitched tag & butterflies that were included in the kit . . .

Love playing with title work - both alphas were included in the kit & the typed strips I did myself :)

One more close-up of the journaling . . .

I also had an urge to play with some of October Afternoon's Campfire line - LOVE IT!! Although my family doesn't really do the camping thing - we do enjoy the outdoors & I have tons of outdoor pics that are perfect for this line :)

A quick close-up on the cute, cute, cute chipboard & stickers this line offers . . .

And my title work/journaling . . .

When ordering my own stash of October Afternoon, I ordered a bit extra - thought it would make a GREAT giveaway!!!!

So . . . if you'd like your own stash of OA Campfire goodies that includes an 8" x 8" paper pad, coordinating word stickers & label stickers, coordinating tin pins, and coordinating wild cards . . . just leave a comment below to be eligible for the drawing :) I will draw a winner Sunday night . . . happy Friday everyone :)

  21. Julie, your pages are beautiful. Your son is too adorable with his puppy riding his bike. I love your sketches and was just looking for one to do a page myself.

  22. Oh Julie I always leave your blog feeling inspired and ready to create. My favorite parts are the titles and journaling. How do you get your journaling strips so even? I have tried doing them and they always are off centered top to bottom and my lines around it are never this straight. I must do too big of a font or something. What is your go to font size for this?

    ReplyDelete
