Elle's Studio and Therm-o-web

When Elle asked if we wanted to team up with Therm-o-web I was so excited. I'm always on the look out for amazing adhesives. Adhesive is kind of a big deal in a scrapbookers world ;)

Until a few weeks ago I had very limited experience with Therm-o-web and their amazing products. I fell in love with them one by one when I pulled each new product out of the box. I adore the glitter photo corners and the Sticky Tape Mini Runner. The mini tape runner is the perfect size and is a great adhesive. I will be throwing it in my bag for my next crop!

Now, lets get to the project I created...
I'm guessing that most of us have a terrible photo that's taken with your phone in terrible lighting. Well, here's mine! A photo taken late at a night in a fast food restaurant with my sisters and myself isn't exactly a photo that's going to be hanging on my living room wall, but I did want it my scrapbook because it has a great story behind it.

 I cut the title with my Cameo and added lots of foam squares on the back to make it pop off the page.

The journaling is hidden on this project. I created a pocket on the back of the black paper using a piece of scrap paper and double sided sticky tape from Therm-o-web.

And here's my completed project. What do you think? Have you used a not so good photo to tell a story? I'd love to hear about it!

Paper Camellia April Kit

Today is the day Paper Camellia revealed the April kit. This was such a fun kit to work with. This is the first layout I created using the main kit. These boys were very reluctant for me to take their photo...they were a little embarrassed. They are in middle school and way too cool to have their picture taken.

I went a little crazy with my sewing machine on this project. I didn't do a lot of embellishing because the back ground is so bold. I decided machine stitching was a good way to add some texture without adding to the busyness of the page.

 

I created this little mini album with the Oh Boy add on kit
There are a lot of elements in this kit with the Boy's Rule collection by Crate Paper. I triple heart this collection. With 2 little guys in my house I'm always excited for a really great boy's line.
Here's the cover of the mini album. The rest of the album will be on the Paper Camellia  blog (and here) in a few days. Stay tuned....

 

This layout I created using both kits. I decided to create a layout all about me and about being a mom. Things have been busy around our house and I'm trying to keep things in perspective...I am a mom, first and foremost! 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog! It means the world to me. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. I love the little bits of love from my readers.
