Little, a layout by Ursula

Ursula made the most delightful layout.

i love the color combination and the design.

Here's the supplies she used:

to do list stickies * vintage-style labels * doilies * a bit of plaid fabric tape * confetti washi *

gold airmail washi * silver glitter tape * yellow starburst washi * FF yellow airmail washi *

i just love, love, LOVE the confetti washi tape on white paper

and layered over the yellow airmail washi!!

xoxo, Doe.

Washi Jar

Ursula sent over another project. weeee!

 Here's what she has to say:

"Do you remember 'The Republic of Tea?  

Well there was a time when I used a LOT of their products and I ended up with a LOT of their sweet little cans.  But what can you do with so many?

I tore off the label and ended up with the naked can.

Next, I used standard Masking Tape to cover the can, 

making sure to start each piece of tape in the same place so my seam would all be on the back.

Finally, choose a few favorite washi tapes in your color of choice and, beginning where the masking tape seam is, tape down one strip of tape at a time.  When you get to the top, some will be over hanging.  Grab a pair of sharp tipped scissors and snip at 1/4 inch intervals all the way around.  Then, just push those pieces down over the edge to cover it. 

I finished with a Label sticker and some letter stickers from Studio Calico to spell the word 'Sweet'. 

Add a final little decorative piece and fill with your favorite sweetener.  Recycling at it's best!

 

Have a tin jar?

Go cover it with some washi!

xoxo, Doe.

Did you Know, by Doe.

pardon my lack of photographing skills 

i couldn't get rid of that glare.

this layout is ever dear (or deer, i should say) to my heart

it captures such a tender subject.

Little Lady became a big sister Aug 2 2010.

then, a year later on Aug 26, she became a big sister again!

just looking at her sweet face and how much she grew in that 1 year

and thinking about all the things she has done to help with the boys

how she teaches them, feeds them, reads books to them, plays with them

Did she Know how amazing she would be?

how simply perfect she could be?

from the shop i used 

yellow adhesive labels (love, love, love these)

brown grid washi tape

manila washi tape

this was the first time i used the brown grid washi
and holy cow, i realllly like it!

for journaling, i snuck a library card pocket behind the top picture

i wrote my thoughts on large kraft tags

and i will slip them in there.

i adore library card pockets

should i stock them in the shop?? :)

xoxo, Doe.
