Cosmo Cricket Rocks!!!

Hey everyone... Sorry I've been MIA but I've been under the weather but I'm so excited to reveal my very first design team layout for ScrapbooksNStuff . I'll be creating layouts for the store to give customer ideas of what to do with paper lines.



My first assignment was using "Cosmo Cricket". I love their lines because they are so child friendly and I love to make layouts of my boy. I used LIL Man for this double layout. Here's the sketch and then you'll see how I placed my photos.






I used a lot of paper for these layouts because I loved how they blended all together and I wanted to layer. I made the bracket with a Techinique Tuesday chipboard and cut it out. I distressed the edges of the paper with cat's eye just to give it a bit of dimension and I used cardstock as the background so the double layout would flow together. I added Cosmo Cricket stickers on the right side layout so that the phrase would pop a bit. These pictures really don't do my layouts justice.


I really need a 12 *12 scanner/printer. (Shamless plug on my behalf because my birthday is this month :-) A girl can wish...


This is the final layout with my pictures...I used boyscout pine derby photos from two years ago that I haven't gotten around to scrapbook. (I know I'm a terrible mother... NOT!!! LOL) I'm just not into the whole boy scout themed paper. The colors are so dreadful. Sorry for those of you who like it. It's all about preference but I do like things to be related and matchy. Do you get my drift? Well, look at the pine derby cut out on the left hand side. Total perfection for my photos...













I love how they turned out... It's simple, clean lines and the pictures pop... Total perfection for my son's boy scout album.

Remember to stop on by the store and pick up LiL Man line before it's all gone. You can also check out the message board starting next week for more wonderful ideas and techniques from the design team members.

We'll I hope you enjoyed my first DT layout... I'm excited to be working with them and I'm also trying out for Cosmo Cricket DT because why not work with companies that you love so wish me luck.

I promise to blog more frequently because life is back to normal in our household. If I don't get back to the blog in the next couple of days. I wish everyone a wonderful 4th of July and let freedom ring...

Goodnight...
