Layout Share: Girlfriends Rock and Scrappinnwrappin 2000 Subscriber Giveaway Challenge

Yay for besties.  They are there for you whenever you need them and they support in ways no one else can.  Whether it's finding something special or lending an open ear, they can never ever be replaced.

This past Christmas, my YouTube bestie sent me a super sweet box full of special goodies.  The box itself was decorated with fun snowflake washi tape and cute die-cute snowflakes.  When it came time for cleanup, I couldn't just throw everything out, so I kept the pieces I loved and used them in a layout that would remind me how special it was.  Here's that layout:

A close-up of the snowflake.  You can see the UPS mark in the background.  I just kept the tape from the box and added it to the kraft paper to recreate the look.

I used a stitched fabric brad from Basic Grey's Out of Print collection.  I also used some leftover tissue paper to layer under the photo.

The next layout was the one that I made for Cheri's 2000 giveaway challenge  (YouTube scrappinnwrappin).  Check on the video link below to see the giveaway guidelines.  

This picture was actually from my boyfriend's birthday.  But the colours in the photo work well with valentine colours.  Looking back in time, I found out this picture was taken in 2006.  My roller date stamps don't even have a 2006 year on them.  So I just stamped his birthday and left off the year.

Using my copic multiliner, I drew lines around the entire layout and added an ''xoxo 2006'' to the corner.  The paint splatter was created using a water pen and a watercolour palette. 

I really wanted to use my PTI heart border for this layout and I wanted it to stand it.  Then the idea came to me to  used a gradation of valentine colours.

Two types of thickers were combined for the title.  I wanted to added a bit of sparkle along with the shiny alphas to make it pop.  My boyfriend never buys me cake for my birthday, lol.  I also wrote my journalling right under the title using my multi-liner again.
