Hello everyone! I’m so excited at the new COZY TIME collection ... It’s so delicate and full of beautiful and sweet patterns. So today I want to share with you my two clean & simple layouts. It’s not something I do very often because I love all kinds of embelishments, especially chipboards, paper cuts etc. So for me the hardest part was to stop addind more and more embelishments to my projects. But anyway ... let’s have a look at my two layouts.

Time to time I use photos of my niece and nephews because I just want them in my album as they’re family and my sister in law just does such beautiful pictures (well ... she’s a photographer so for her no big deal).

For the first page I chose one of the papers from the collection and made a wide strip down the page and little bit at the bottom. Then I chose some of the embelishments aside with two buttons and put them “on the string”. Lastly I put my photo on 3D sticky squares to make it look more dimensional and adhere the photo over the strings. I added more chiboards on the pattern paper, added joutnaling and a few stickers. And the page was ready.

My youngest nephew turned 3 a few weeks ago. And that’s hell of a reason to scrap that down. This time I involved my Silhouette Cameo and cut big “3” digit. And I stitched around the digit with white thread. Well that took a bit of a time. Again I used 3D foam squares to make some dimension and placed the cut paper onto another one. After that I cut several numbers from different TN papers and placed them inside the number. I also added a few thickers from my alphabet leftovers. And again - placed round photo, added few chipboards and enamel embelishments and the page was done.
