Happy Day Layout
As we approach the end of summer, I created this layout to for a family trip to an amusement park, one of my favorite things during the summer. I used the Phrases cartridge for the title and the Carousel Lite cartridge for both ferris wheels.
The layout was kept fairly simple to provide plenty of space to display amusement park pictures.
The title was popped up on foam dots for added dimension. Two small hand cut flags were added next to the ferris wheel for a pop of color.
A few colored pearls were added to the center of each ferris wheel to coordinate with the patterned paper.
The flag was hand cut to which a sticker from my stash was attached. A small bow in Midnight Trendy Twine finished off the layout.

Pinwheel Tag
This tag was created using my stash of scrapbooking goodies. I hand cut the tag and added washi tape to the bottom and wrapped it with Tickled with Teal Trendy Twine. The twine was also used to wrap a toothpick which was added to my hand cut pinwheel. A bling sticker was added to the center.
A small flag was created with more washi tape and adhered to a stick pin. The "enjoy" sentiment is from Docerela Stamps. The tag was finished off with some ribbon, a button and a twine bow.

Disney Layout
This double page layout was created using the Mickey Font cartridge for the Mickey heads on the two banners.
The Mickey and Friends cartridge was used for all of the other die cuts on my layout.
I added some stitching and doodling with my white gel pen to provide some accent and detail to the die cuts.
This photo mat was added to the center of the Mickey ears to create a display for a family photo from Disneyland. I intentionally pointed the arrows towards the photo mat to highlight this special picture.
A smaller banner with the Mickey ears was also added to the left page of my layout. I loosely threaded the Black Licorice Trendy Twine through the punched holes.
The flags at the bottom of the page were cut by hand. I added some dimensional stickers from my stash to the flags.

Trendy Twine Design Day - Disney Layout
Welcome to Trendy Twine's special release of color #50. The Trendy Gals are showcasing the new color, "Celebration". This is a very unique twine consisting of 4 different colors; red, yellow, black and white.
For my project, I created this double page 12x12 layout featuring a Disney theme which is perfect for the new Celebration twine.
All of the die cuts for my layout are from the Mickey and Friends cartridge other than the ticket with the Mickey ears which is cut from the Mickey Font cartridge.
I used the EK Success Zig Zag border punch for the 2 borders on my layout. The borders are slightly embossed with the punch too.
The Celebration twine was used to embellish the balloons by punching a hole in them and adding the twine. I then tied the balloons together with a little bow.
The Mickey tag was embellished with some ribbon and a small twine bow. I created another smaller tag and added a Mickey button to it and tied it with the twine at the top.
More twine was used for this small banner and also for the the flags with sentiments. I used several different sentiments on my layout. The "fun" sentiment is from Docerela stamps, the "2013 and Happy Place" is from a Smash stamp. The other 2 sentiments are from Scrappy Moms stamps.
A few stars and a large die cut Mickey Mouse were the perfect finishing touch for my Disney layout.
The new twine is available in the store now. Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
