Creative Measures by Tiffany

Hello and welcome to today's post. I have a layout share that features the Echo Park Playground collection and the Heidi Swapp Project Life kit along with some exclusive alphas from the June Hip Kit. This layout was hard to put together for the challenge over at Sketches in Thyme (#205) but loved the collection I chose for the photos I was using. I had taken my son over to the mall to go to the indoor playground and while waiting for it to open he spotted the powered ice cream truck that made noise. Of course Michael just had to ride and he looks like he's really enjoying it. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . Supplies used: Echo Park Playground collection, June (main) Hip Kit alphas, Heidi Swapp Project Life kit (the stars), Cherry on Top DSP (SU), Summer Starfruit cardstock for the background(SU), ATG tape runner and Mini glue dots. I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Tha...

Hello everyone. It's been a hard day today but I relaxed a little by creating this layout. Most of the products used are from the June Hip Kit with the exception of the background stamping which uses the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and the gold sequins which are from Stampin' Up.

Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Okay, I left for a little vacation with my family but now I'm back with a new layout share. I hope everyone enjoyed the Memorial Holiday and now getting to make those summer plans. The layout today features the January Hip Kit and the stencil used to make the circles comes from Stampin' Up Dots and Stripes masks. The ink used on the stencil is the new Stampin' Up In Color Emerald Envy. I used a gold Recollections label for my journaling which I wrote out using a .01 Project Life journaling pen and I used the Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine to make my splatters. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration.
