4th of July

Here's a couple of layouts for my Guys' albums.  I used the 213 in 2013 Challenge at Two Peas In a Bucket for these layouts.  I've been working on pages for other people and needed a break from it.  The guys will add the photos to their layouts so I used white card stock where the photos go. 

 

I started out using my Cricut cut the fireworks outs of white card stock.  I then glimmer misted another piece of white card stock with yellow, red and blue, cut strips to fit behind my firework mat and glued everything to a piece of brown card stock.  I then started the layering process. 

 

The photos just do not do them justice.

 

Out of the five creative prompts I did four on these layouts. 

1. Cut your background with your Silhouette - I used my Cricut.
2. Add texture to using stitching within a design - did not do this.
3. Glue your pictures diagonally - did this.
4. Use a stencil as your main title - cut with my Cricut.
5. Use stamps as embellishments on your layout - used lots of stamps and hand cut them out.

Thanks for stopping by.
