Week 5 with Lauren - It Glimmers with Gold

Hello Canaries! Lauren here!

I hope that you are all having a great week so far - I have been having an absolute ball creating with the latest Scrappy Canary Kit - the March Pocket Life Kit: Whimsy. This kit is so yummy!

Today I am showing you my Week 5 spread using this kit - I am already so behind in 2015! Argh - I really need to get cracking. At least I'm up to February right?

As expected for those of you that know me, I adore the Amy Tangerine Rise & Shine Phrase Stickers. I decided to make them a consistent element across the spread and I made them a feature of the Week 5 title card. I love the look of them down the side of the card.


I then took one of my heart punches to the Project Life - Heidi Swapp gold foil cards to create heart embellishments to use across the layout. I also cut out the light blue label from one of the Heidi Swapp cards and used it for the title. I also added some of the Heidi Swapp chipboard shapes.

I love gold, it really makes a layout pop don't you think?

The Pinkfresh Studio - Up In The Clouds 3x4 Foiled Journalling Cards were awesome. The combination of geometric shapes, phrases, hearts and stars were awesome!

I loved the Pinkfresh Studio - Up in the Clouds Wood Word strips and I thought they were perfect for my nephews' cheeky first day of schools photos.

I embellished the adore card with some hearts - you may think that it looks a little plain with that empty space, but I have added a photo since, that I didn't want to have on the internet for someone's privacy (it's not x-rated don't worry!).


On the right hand side of the layout I used two of the Pretty Little Studio - You & Me 4x6 Watercolour journalling cards to capture some of the happy moments of the week. I also cut these cards in half to use for 3x4 journalling cards too.

The Elle's Studio Yellow Letters & Numbers were perfect for titles for the week and for photos.

As you can see on this page, you can also see how I have used the Amy Tangerine Phrase Stickers across the spread. They are so cute and the phrases really help add additional journalling or memories to a layout.

The 'Happy Days' card perfectly summed up a lovely afternoon that Ash and I had eating delicious treats in the sun!

You can see in the photo below how I used one of the Heidi Swapp 3x4 gold foil cards as a matt for the photo.

I also put the photo on an angle so that it coordinated with the photo of the soccer that I included on a journalling card in the opposite corner. I also added similar embellishments for consistency.
As you can see below I created a filler card using a Heidi Swapp chevron foil card and one of the heart embellishments. The filler card also matched the punched hearts that I have used throughout the spread.
