Jess's 22nd Bday - Mixing Paper Packs

I made this busy LO with pics from Jess's 22nd Bday.  I used three different CTMH paper packs (Cherry-O, Sweetheart, and Daydream) to make this playful, girlie look. 

White mats around the pages and photos tie it all together.  The banner was made with CTMH's "Pennant Alphabet" stamps, and "November 10" was made with the the "Vintage Type" stamps, which punch out perfectly with a 1/2" circle punch.  The numbers "22" on the flower are CTMH Dimensional Elements Numbers.  I used flowers, pearls, rhinestones, pins, and tabs for embellishments.  EK Success edge punches were used for the scalloped and birthday candle borders.

Mostly more of the same materials.  "Celebrate" is from a set of CTMH Irresistibles, covered in coordinating ink.  The two hearts toward the bottom center were punched, then I crinkled the all the edges up.  The long strip of pearl embellishments is from Recollections.

Christmas 2011 Layout

My favorite pictures from this year's Christmas.  I used a bunch of snapshots on the right, and stacked them to balance out the single photo on the left.  I used mostly CTMH's Elemental and Typeset papers, and a variety of stamps.  Nothing is over-the-top Christmas, but by this time every year, I'm pretty much over red and green.

This picture of Jess & Neal was my favorite, so I highlighted it on a page by itself.  All the pictures and papers are lightly distressed with brown ink.

This collage is definitely top heavy, but I it balances with the first page.  I wouldn't use this layout for a single-page layout.  Also, carrying the stamped leaf/flower image over the two pages brings them together.
