Movie Day Layout for LM #811

Hello, everyone, and happy Sunday. Today is the reveal for the latest challenge over at Lasting Memories, and this time, Jill has challenged us to  create a layout showing our favorite brand or designer. This is always a challenge for me, since I was so loyal to CTMH for many years, but then they went out of business - bummer. I have a few new favorites now, with anything by Vicki Boutin topping the list. Here I used her mixed media paper as my background, then added patterned paper for the frame and the strip across the page. The "with you" puffy sticker is from one of her collections, too. We would love to see who is your favorite designer or brand, so feel free to swing by Lasting Memories to share a layout with us!

Here are a few close-ups - the extra ticket that pulls out of the envelope:

The Light and Glory of Christmas Layout

I am almost done with scrapping the photos from a Christmas musical I directed and sang in way back in 2002 (can't believe it took 10 years to get around to these pictures!), so here is another layout. I wanted to incorporate the ball and jacks challenges from Child's Play into my layout, and the design on the green patterned paper reminded me of jacks, so I added red circles for the ball and a row of "jacks" next to the title. 4 Crafty Chicks wanted to see ribbons and bows on our projects, so I tied four cute little faux bows for their challenge.

Benihanas Layout

For this layout, I got to combine an old and a new favorite. The old is my Wishblade, which I used to cut the title. After my computer crashed in October, I never re-installed the software for my Wishblade, and then I had to figure out how to make it work with Windows 7 - ouch! Finally got it up and running, so you can expect to see some more Wishbalde-cut titles from me in the near future. The new is the Art Philosophy cartridge for my Cricut, which I used to cut all the dragonflies. I then stamped the dragonflies using images from the "This Way" stamp set. Love that look. It's Christmas Eve and my hubby took our boys out for the day, so I'm off to create some more layouts. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Another one of those "not sure I'm loving it" layouts, but I do love the photos, plus I used up more discontinued supplies, so I'm leaving it as is!
