Follow Your Heart with SEI

Friday greetings to you! I have a pretty SEI project to share with you today.

 

My project today features the Spiral Bound Journal and the Always Yours collection. I wanted a pretty journal that I can use as a mash up for inspirational thoughts and quotes as well as to document some fun mom memories and moments for reflection.
 

 

I began by choosing my focal point papers, then trimming them to size. I adjusted the left border by adding another layer just to the left, then embellishing the transition space with a touch of eyelet lace that I had on my desk. I stitched around all of those layers, then adhered.

 

The sentiment chipboard was inked with a soft green chalk ink and layered with a coordinating sticker from the collection and a flourish that I cut using a die and my die cut machine. I added the tiny grey chipboard heart in the bottom right corner.

 

 

Here you will see my first two interior pages. I kept it fairly simple but thought that the quote was perfect to grace the intro page vellum pocket. This collection is so lovely, the finish of the papers and the foil and pearl accents are amazing.

Happy Heart featuring SEI's Always Yours

Saturday greetings to you! I hope you are having a nice weekend so far. I have a project to share with you today featuring some SEI products.

My project today is a scrapbook page featuring the Always Yours Assortment Pack. By nature, this is a very romantic and pretty line. I decided to use it with some very non romantic type of photos.

I recently took my boys to the circus and they were so excited they could not behave to take a photo before it started. Since I believe that life is not all "Pinterest Perfect", I always scrap the funny and not so perfect photos too.  One of my favorite ways to show them is in a collage.

The sentiment in the heart, "You make my heart happy" was just perfect for the page. I simply trimmed it out a bit from the doily border and it took on a new crisp look. I've used a mixture of grey, cream and pink for the page.

I really like the swirl cream background paper, it is silly and fun. To soften the borders on that layer, I used a border punch only on the right and left sides.

A few pieces of Kraft Chips and Silver Glitter Dots completed the page.

Just Chillin' with SEI

Monday greetings to you!  I have an SEI project to share with you today that was recently up on their blog.  I've created this with the vibrant and fresh new collection called "Florets" which will be featuring in their upcoming April Scrapbooking Kit.

When I opened up this collection, I was really impressed by how fun and fresh the design elements are in it, there are floral elements, some pinks and blues along with a bit of geometric type of designs. It is truly versatile for any project, masculine to feminine.

I used a bit of everything including the cute die cut circles and doilies as part of the design mimics the background glass within my photo. It was fun mixing the various patterns together until I had my final design.
