Las Vegas Layout with Cruisin Papers

This is my first LO from our Las Vegas trip.  I used CTMH's "Cruisin'" papers with coordinating foil stickers and bottle caps.  The LO is based on a LO example in the "Cruisin" Workshop on the Go.  All are available in the new CTMH Spring/Summer Idea Book, which is available to customers February 1.

I used CTMH's "Token" alphabet stamps for "Vegas" and punched them out with a 1-inch punch.  The bling flourish is one of CTMH's new Sparkles Flourishes.  (Vegas deserves lots of bling, right?)  All the embellishments are CTMH, except for the dice, which is a cut-out, stamped image I got from Jess for Christmas from Studio G.

Everything on this page is CTMH except, again, the dice, and the rows of bling under the date.  The "Wecome to Coolsville" foil sticker reminds me of the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign.  The date is stamped with CTMH's "Save the Date" stamp set.

Big Easy Layout with Wings

Finally...back to scrapping.  I used CTMH B&T papers from the Wings collection for this layout from my recent New Orleans vacation.  I wanted to show the dark and ominous feel of the French Quarter, so I used the black cs as a background.  The layouts are inspired from the book "Playing with Paper" by Angelia Wigginton.

This page highlights one of my hurricanes from the famous Pat O'Brien's.  The straight lines in the background are colored pencil (as well as the white flourishes & "the" before Big Easy.)  I stamped "Big Easy" with CTMH's Token Alphabet stamp--one of my new favorites--and punched it out.  EASY!  The fleur de lis and ticket stamps are from the You & Me stamp set from this month's CTMH special kit.  The six large flourishes are freehand cut from various Wings B&T papers.

This page shows a couple French Quarter street scenes and a couple more pics from Pat O'Brien's (the flaming fountain and the tray player from the piano bar).  Again, the fleur de lis is from the You & Me stamp set.  I also used the Hope for Japan stamp at the top.  The white writing and flourishes are all white colored pencil.
