Its That Season

My busy time at work is kicking off.  It is tiring just thinking about it.  But I am determined to set priorities and try to not sweat the small stuff.

Today, I am quickly posting a recent page that showcases a photo of my daughter.  I love when you get the photos of just right moments.  Ella glaring at me, giving me "the look" is perfect.  I can't wait to show her kids this one day.

 

 

I kept the page simple and light in color.  I wanted those fiery eyes to pop out!  I added in some Kraft Polaroid squares to make the photo stand out.  I also added tiny embellishments like the wood veneer banner and the enamel dots.  Love Teresa's Daily Stories line!

 

I use my Xyron Teresa Collins Clear Hold Adhesive to hold down the wood veneer.  It is my new favorite product! It comes with the adhesive kit!  Seriously, I can't live without this stuff!

I am off to try and relax on this Friday night.  Scrapping and sleeping to be done!

Tuesday Tip: Use that Xyron

Especially when it comes in pink houndstooth!  I love the Xyron sticker maker that Teresa has designed.  I used it for my most recent layout.

 

I knew I wanted multiple frames in random places. These are different mirrors and they fit the theme of my page perfectly.  I knew I wanted the picture on the bottom. What I didn't think of was the placement of my journaling. After surveying my options, I decided to add a strip along the top so it complimented my design, yet didn't distract from it.

I was able to run the thin strip through my Xyron sticker maker and have it lay very flat on my page. Since an 8.5 X 11 piece of paper fits in the printer, your journaling strip can be the same width as your page.

I also ran the small mirrors and die-cut ticket through...the Xyron is super useful and cute!

How perfect!
