A couple of months ago, I ordered quite a few sets from Banana Frog. I love my new sets, esp. my Shimelle-designed ones, but I haven't had much of a chance to get them inky. That changed this past weekend!!
The photos on these two layouts are some more of Kara's fabulous photography from when we were home. I am also usually not into papers that are this bright, but I have fallen in love with this Mira line from K&Company...it's gorgeous!!!
For this layout, I used the TakeNote set. These stamps are clear acrylic so it is very easy to create a decorative edge like the one that I did here around the Kraft paper and have it lined up perfectly. I LOVE that about clear acrylic!!
Supplies used:
*Banana Frog Take Note set
*K&Company Mira papers
*StazOn Jet Black inkpad
*Kraft cardstock
*buttons
*Heidi Swapp Chipboard letters
Isn't this photo just the cutest? I tried to stay with a very simple design for this layout.
Look at this gorgeous journaling stamp that is in this Take Note set. I just added brads on the ends to give it a bit of dimension. I also stamped a detail line from Circus Stories around the outside edge of the whole layout just to give it a bit more dimension.
For the butterflies, I stamped the swirl of the bracket on an orange paper and then strategically punched using my butterfly punch.
Supplies used:
*Banana Frog Take Note set
*Banana Frog Circus Stories set
*K&Company Mira papers
*Martha Stewart butterfly punch
*StazOn JetBlack inkpad
*CTMH Autumn Terracotta inkpad
*Colorbox Chalk inkpad
*brads
Finally the card...I love this, but only because I love these stamps so much!!! Look at those cute stamps from Shimelle...the set is called Greenwich Park. Everytime I stamp that little deer, it just makes me happy!
I just hand-wrote the "thanks" sentiment into the stamped oval.
Supplies Used:
*Banana Frog Greenwich Park
*Banana Frog Take Note
*K&Company Mira Papers
*StazOn black inkpad
*Fiskars Threading Water border punch
*ribbon
*white cardstock
I hope that you have fun plans for today. It's Jacob's first official day with no school so we are going out to lunch to celebrate!
