Rainbow Alphabet

Good morning from Gracie, and I. When I was photographing this spread, she photobombed me again. It's so cute that she wants to be a part of it. Today I'm sharing a layout that I made about my nephew. It's about time I documented him a little while he's still small and adorable. I love that his personality is starting to come out, and he's such a dork.

Here's the full spread. I love the colours, and I think it turned out perfectly. I decided to do the letters in rainbow order, and love how the different patterns compliment and contrast each other. I put the photo on the O and used little letter stamps to stamp his name above the photo. I stamped the date below the photo and journaled in the bottom right corner. I added a couple of embellishments to corresponding colours and called it done.

Here's a close up. I cut the letters out of white cardstock, and added rainbow order patterned papers to the back of the page. I cut them to make sure they didn't overlap another letter, but so that I had enough to tape it to the back without it falling off. It turned out beautifully.

Thanks so much for coming by to check out this spread. I'm having so much fun making more use of my silhouette, and on my birthday wishlist is the attachment for the sketch pens, and some sketch pens. The possibilities will be endless then! Have a great day!

Michael's Haul #8

My hauls keep getting smaller and smaller because I've begun to realize that I have way too much stuff. Okay that's a lie. I just feel that I can't think of anything to use a lot of what I see for. I'm currently more focused on trying to organize my supplies in such a way that I can see them and I'll start to use them.

.

I bought three more bead organizers. They're super handy for storing different embellishments (paper punch outs, buttoms, die cuts, etc.) by colour, theme, etc. I also picked up two more sets of Tim Holtz binder rings. I'll share my project made using them later on (when I actually finish it).

I've been growing my punch collection as well. I bought a medium star, medium heart, large hexagon, and a mustache bowtie combo. Perfect for cake toppers. 

I bought two different Colourbox Petal ink pads. I've never used the petal inks before, but I'm excited to try all the new colours. I also bought a bunch of thickers. Two sets of map thickers, one set of kraft corrugated paper thickers, two sets of  black, one set of white, and one set of lowercase black. I never used to like alphabet stickers, but I've grown to love using them in project life.

Thanks for stopping by! Sorry this haul wasn't as exciting as past hauls. I've been exploring storage options and some new furniture pieces for the craftroom. I was also shopping in Saskatchewan, so there was extra taxes (boo!). 

Have a great day!
