happy thursday y'all! i sure hope you are having a beautiful week...and happy DECEMBER!
i have a couple of layouts to share with you today.
the first one is an extra i made for my brooklyn flea gallery.
and i think this may have turned out being my favorite for the month!!
i think all the supplies are in the grid below, but a sidenote is that the font is "1942 report".
this next layout is a page i made for nichol magouirk's scrapbook stamping class at 2peas.
i was excited but nervous when nichol asked me to join her this month...i love the look of stamping but don't do it often. so the idea of *stamping my own background* made me VERY antsy.
but i went for it. and truth be told, i love the results. someone remind me WHY i don't do this more often?!?!?
the background is stamped with SC's month stamps: JBS weathervane. the "photo mat" is stamped with a SC chevron stamp+prima chalk ink in teal damask (my new favorite). the hearts are also stamped with teal damask.
almost everything is linked below minus all of the stamps (Studio Calico), the sequins (harper and sadie's craft stash),the doily (martha stewart) and the label (twogirlzstuff).
hope you've enjoyed my creative shares today...
have a wonderful day!
xxo
I love, love, love that first layout. The picture caught my eye so quickly but then the message topped it. Beautiful and heart felt.

I always enjoy your journaling and the way that you make lovely products speak your heart but that first LO just took my breath away. What a beautiful snapshot of a relationship and the faith that keeps it strong.
