Love Lives Here

As promised I am sharing a layout with you today. I pulled out my water colours and got busy. This is not typically me or my style but this is so popular right now and I love the look. At first I was a little weary but I really like the look. I then added layer on layer and then some more layers to create my background. I thought a few times it was overkill but once I stood back and "took it all in" I realised I loved it. My only complaint- the moisture makes your paper curl and that drives me crazy. Anyone have any pointers on fixing that? 

Product: pattern paper,stickers, gold label stickers & photo overlay: Crate Paper, alphas & script: American Crafts, wood veneer: Studio Calico. Used water colours and Heidi Swapp colour shine to create the background on white cardstock.

I was going to start a new feature called Layout Love Tuesday in March but I couldn't wait. The plan is to share a layout every Tuesday, this way I will be intentional about setting time aside in my schedule each week to create for myself.  

We have received SO MUCH new amazing product at Treasured Memories, I get dizzy trying to choose what to take home and what to leave behind. So far I have not been doing very good on the leaving behind part.

This layout celebrates Anna's first drawing of her family. I had this picture blown up to 8x10 and framed for our bedroom, seeing us all holding hands makes me so happy.

Treasured Memories has been getting so much new, beautiful product in stock and I am loving it!  Here are a few layouts I have been meaning to share.

Before we get to that...I have added a link to my Instagram feed on the right sidebar. You can go here and follow along with me from day to day. I post pictures of home, life, decor, food & fun.
