So Very Merry for Paper House Productions and Thermoweb

This week the Paper House Productions team is teaming up with Thermoweb. They have all sorts of foils and adhesive products. I've never used foils before so this was a lot of fun adding something new to my repertoire.

What better way to show off foil than with Christmas lights? I've been wanting to use some of the cut files I've purchased so the Paige Evans tree became my starting point. I sprayed mist on the tree and spread it with a paint brush. Just before it dried I sprayed it with Color Shine.
I cut the Christmas lights with my Silhouette Cameo. The cord was in black, the lights in white. I used a glue pen to spread adhesive on the lights and let them dry. Then I placed the foil with the color side up and pressed it firmly into the adhesive. Then I peeled the foil liner away. I also foiled the star on top of the tree and the title. I also used black photo corners from Thermoweb to add more interest to my photos.
I outlined the tree with a pencil on my base paper. Then I spread yellow ink with a foam dabber. To finish off the layout I used the Paper House micro stickers to add touches to the tree, stars to the background and presents under the tree.
Please check out the links below for some awesome products and make sure to see what the design team has been creating all week!

Filled With Joy for Paper House Productions

I can't believe it's time to get ready for Christmas. I've got so many pictures from last year (ok, and many previous years), that I need to get scrapping. I used the Christmas Joy line from Paper House Productions for this layout.

I used a cut file from Paper Issues. I backed the circles with the gold circles from a Christmas Joy paper. The stars I covered with a variety of gold star stickers.

Soccer Layout with Glue Dots and Paper House Productions

This week Paper House Productions is teaming up with Glue Dots! I made a soccer layout using the All Star Soccer kit. Glue Dots sent me some linear glue lines so I decided to make a layout with strips. The glue lines made it super easy to attach. I just laid my paper along the strips and pulled it off.

The Glue Dots super strength dot runner was perfect for attaching my photos. They are thick, super sticky dots that glide onto the page. Super easy to use. Of course I had to use some 3D stickers on the layout. That soccer net is so cool. I tried to mute the polka dot pattern with gesso. Here is a closer version.

Supplies

- All Star Soccer paper crafting kit

- Soccer Champ 3D stickers

Here is another layout in my Paper House Productions Journey Book. I had lots of fun making this one. I used my Silhouette to cut out a star and layered some papers behind the photos. I learned that the photos don't bend well with three layers of paper under them, so I cut them in half.

Happy Birthday Pinata Layout for Paper House Productions

This week we are featuring birthday projects at Paper House Productions. I used these super fun 3D stickers and sheets from the Color Washed Paper Pad.

I noticed how the title sticker fit in the space on the gold cut apart card. From there I picked the paper with the same shape as the card. Then I fussy cut a section of the paper and decided to add more colour by attaching hanging embellishments. Kind of like a piñata which is in the picture. The washi tape worked well to hang my embellishments. Fun and simple!

The Best Days Are At The Lake Layout Paper House Productions

I took the leftover lake pictures and filled the circles in this cut file. I used the Lake Life Collection from Paper House Productions.

The cut file is from Paper Issues but it was bubbles that I couldn't cut very well. My paper kept ripping and I didn't have the patience to find the right settings so I just made the cut file simple circles.

Corn Maze Layout for Paper House Productions

Are you ready for fall? I love the colours but not the temperature! I finally scrapped these pictures from the corn maze using Paper House products.

I backed the cut file with Autumn Woods paper. I fussy cut the leaves and branches from another piece of paper. I used cardstock and puffy stickers to finish it off. The white border is washi tape with rose gold foil.

Daughter Layout for Paper House Productions

Another challenge but this time with a girl theme. I used my most recent pictures for this one. I really love this layout and good thing because I had so many ideas it took me awhile to decide on one. We were only allowed to use certain Paper House Productions products focusing on the 3D daughter stickers and a few papers from the Color Washed Paper Pad.

I used a Cut Shoppe butterfly and backed it with green/blue paper. Then I layered the cut apart cards from the paper pad. Next I decorated with the 3D stickers and faux enamel butterfly stickers. Seriously, you need those stickers!

Laird's Bar Layout for Paper House Productions

I'm so happy to be back designing with Paper House Productions! I made this layout using the Great Outdoors Collections and Discover USA. If you do any camping, you will want these collections!

I've been waiting for the right papers to scrap these pictures. A friend at the lake bought this bar to hold firewood. When he wasn't there, everyone on the bay worked to turn it into an actual bar. It was a really fun afternoon with even the kids painting the "barstools" (kitchen chairs on 2x4s).

I used my Silhouette Cameo with sketch pens to write the subtitle. The zigzags are a border sticker that I put together.

Happy Place for Paper House Productions

Hello! I'm back at Paper House Productions for another term and couldn't be happier. We are featuring beach layouts on the blog this week so I made one with the Paradise Found collection. We had the most perfect day at the beach last year and it was also sand castle contest day. Everyone worked really hard and got really creative.

I can't stop fussy cutting those flowers! I love them. The journaling card is on a cut apart sheet and the stickers are part of the kit. The bucket and shovel stickers are Sticky Pix. This was an easy layout to make and the colours really pop!

We Are Silly Layout

I used the Pinspire Me Challenge at Paper Issues to get this layout together. It took FOREVER to go through my pictures to find three with the right colours and similar subject matter. Then it took FOREVER to go through my stash to find the right papers, etc. However, I really like how it turned out so all is good. I considered doing paint streaks in the background but chickened out. The pictures are me eating a ring pop which is a favourite lake treat. My daughter going in to bite a marshmallow and my nephew being cute.



Here is the mood board. I think it's obvious how it inspired me!
