Layouts For Scrappin' in the City

Here are a few layouts I worked on last night to take to Scrappin in the City!

I am still not completely satisfied with my own hand writing in this first layout but I am choosing to embrace my imperfections. I finally realized it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful!
Thank you Nester and Stacy Jullian for that!

 I used plain white card stock and craft paper as my base for this page. With a little brown ink, crinkled edges and stitching, the page takes on a whole rugged look.
 The accent papers are from the Teresa Collins "Hello, My Name Is" collection.
 I love the thickness of her papers!

 I sprayed some black color shine on some Heidi Swapp Color Pop ephemera stars
and banners to give it a little more of a  masculine feel. 

My next layout is all about my oldest daughter's first real home that God provided for her family.
I fell in love with this blue polka  dotted paper from the moment I first laid eyes on it.
 Bella Blvd is quickly becoming one of my new favorite lines. 

Sorry for the quality of the photos.
 I used my phone and edited them in Instagram but they will do for a quick post!

 On this page I also used a little gold  Heidi Swapp Color Shine on the tags to give it some pop. 

The letters are again Bella Blvd.  Don't you just love the muted baby blue color! 

I am still working on filling up my latest mini album!

 I will post more photos soon.
