Happy

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new layout to share for Echo Park using the Oh Happy Day collection.  Have you ever fallen in love with a collection at first sight?  I did with this one.  I think it was the combination of florals and the pops of black.  It is simply beautiful!

This collection has a lot of tags and pennants. I knew I wanted to use them in a creative way so I decided to make kind of a banner across my page.

I added some machine stitching with black thread to tie it all together.

Look how gorgeous these colors are!

Easter Egg Hunt

Hey everyone, I'm here today sharing a new layout for Pretty Little Studio using the Color Me Happy collection. When I first saw this paper, I immediately thought of Easter eggs. Add all these beautiful bright colors and it was perfect for an Easter themed layout!

I cut out paper strips and stitched them on my cardstock. I also added some zig zag stitching just for fun!

I then finished the layout by adding some word strips and a few embellishments.

Love This

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new layout to share for Simple Stories using the Simple Vintage Garden District collection.  If you're like me and love to work with florals this collection is for you!  The pretty and soft floral patterns are perfect for any feminine project.

One of my favorite items in this collection is the big chipboard frames.  It's so easy to make a big impact on your layout just by adding one of these frames.

The final touches of this layout was just adding bits of ephemera and chipboard pieces.  It was hard to limit myself to just a few, they 're all so pretty!

This sweet black and white photo of my daughter was perfect for this collection.  Any photo can be made to look vintage just by printing it in black and white.

Vintage Beauty

Vintage Beauty layout by Michelle Gallant

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new layout to share for Echo Park

using the Farmhouse Market collection.  Anyone who knows me as a scrapbooker knows how much I love to use florals.  This collection not only has florals but everything about it screams feminine.  It's so very pretty!

I decided to get a little messy with this layout. It's not my usual style, but once in a while I like to try new things.  I created the background by using the vintage grid stencil and some gesso.  I added a little bit of watercolors too.  

I then took out some butterfly punches and cut out a whole bunch of them.  I used a variety of sizes and pattern paper.  I added them randomly to my layout.  

To finish off I added some little embellishments and word stickers.  I like how this layout turned out.  It was fun to try a new style of scrapbooking.

Happy Place

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new layout to share for Pretty Little Studio using the Indian Summer collection. There's just something pretty fantastic about a bold striped paper isn't there? I knew I wanted to use this as a background as soon as I saw it!

To start off I added a row of stitching to each stripe with my sewing machine. I may have a slight obsession with my sewing machine. lol

I then clustered some flowers and phrase stickers on each color of stripe. I then finished it off with some pops of black!

Birthday pinwheels

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a fun new project to share for Pebbles using the Happy Cake Day collection. Both my kids have winter birthdays so I decided to make a cute little centerpiece.

I made 3 simple pinwheels using papers from the 6x8 pad and glued them to paper straws. I added a puffy sticker to each center.

I then added a few tags and pennants to make it a little more fun.

I finished it off by adding it to a small glass bottle with some string and little tags. It turned out so cute!

Hello Summer

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new layout to share for Simple Stories with the Best Year Ever collection. If you haven't seen this collection yet it's absolutely fabulous!  It practically covers all the seasons and holidays.  It has to be the most versatile collection I've ever seen!  

I decided to focus on the summer elements from the collection.  I just pulled out everything that felt like summer and went from there.

I started by cutting out a big heart from pattern paper. I then added machine stitching on each strip.  For the outside of the heart I hand stitch using multi colored thread.

I layered some ephemera in a few spots.  The florals are so pretty!

I don't very often journal on my layouts so one of my favorite embellishments is word and phrase stickers.  I always try to add a few.  I then finished off the layout with a few enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by!
