Hey everyone, I'm here today sharing a little something different today. It is hard to believe that we Christmas is nearly here! This year sure has flown! It is time to get gifts for loved ones so I decided to do a pillow pouch which in size can hold gift cards, money etc.
Here is the finished product which I created using the Tis the Season collection.
To create the pillow pouch I did a bit of googling to find a good pillow pouch template which I cut using my cameo. Such a gorgeous and practical little box. And something that is so versatile too. I see many pillow pouches being made in my immediate future.
To embellish the box I have wrapped a piece of 12″ around the entire thing. And then finished with some seam binding and a bow. I also created a fun little tag from the stickers, ephemera and veneer that coordinate with the goodies. I also added a little touch of typewritten journing.
The size of the pillow pouch is perfect for holding gift cards. And it is a nice way to jazz up a plain and simple gift card. I added some tissue paper to give the recipient a feeling of being able to unwrap too. Thanks so much for popping by the blog today. This gift idea would be perfect for family friends and even as a teacher gift!
Hey everyone, I'm here today sharing a new layout featuring the latest collection ‘Endless Summer’ collection. For this layout I decided to scrapbook another photo from our fun summer day here in our household.
I had a small floral design from Silhouette store and teamed that with a few fussy cut flowers. Here is the layout I created.
For the title and my journaling I used my silhouette and font I had in my library. I typed the words ‘cutie patooties’ and then created an offset which I cut out on the Sweet Treats paper. The journaling is typed and short and sweet, then cut into strip form.
To the right of the photo I added a small cluster comprising of fussy cut florals and die cut ephemera. And of course we can’t forget the woodies and enamel shapes. I adhered the pieces in a variety of depths to create some added dimension.
Here is my layout again. I’m hoping to have a process video for this one up on my You Tube channel very soon.

Here are some close up images of my project. I decided to stick to a vertical circular design for this page.
Journaling is something I do on pretty much every layout, and normally by using my typewriter.
There were a lot of bright colours on this layout, I loved the paler pink paper to mat my photo. It added that softness that I was searching for. Especially with such a soft photo. I absolutely loved the floral chipboard piece. It inspired the whole colour palette for this layout.
I just love this photo of my little man and his caring big sister.
