Baby Boy Layout with Alyssa McGrew

Today, Alyssa McGrew is here to share a layout that she recently created.  Alyssa says:

Since our family is expecting a new little boy in September, I've been trying to get back in the routine of baby layouts!  I've never been one for traditional baby themed products, so I used some papers from my stash to create this page, then added some felt doilies and tags from the Curtsey Boutique shop to soften the edges and add a warm feeling.

Gift Jar Tutorial with Tracy McLennon

Curtsey Boutique Project Instruction Page

Decorative Gift Jar

Original Design : Tracy McLennon

Curtsey Boutique Supplies:

Red & White Polka Dot Ruffle Flower

Chalkboard Cardstock Hearts

Red & White Baker’s Twine

Other Supplies:

Hot Glue Gun

Jar with a Wooden Lid

⅛” Hole Punch

Double Sided Tape

Patterned Paper

Pom Pom Ribbon by May Arts

This Decorative Gift Jar is the perfect way to present any little gift of appreciation. You could fill your gift jar with freshly baked cookies, candy, a pretty piece of jewelry and so much more. There are always times where you need a sweet and simple gift for someone. A hostess gift, a friendly neighbor, or for someone you think could use a little pick-me-up.

The first thing you will need to do to create this project is gather your materials (listed above).

Step 1: Using the ⅛” hole punch, punch a hole in your chalkboard heat and run the red and white baker’s twine through.

Step 2: I used my hot glue gun to add my large decorative button to the Red & White Polka Dot Ruffle Flower.

Step 3: Again I used my hot glue gun to attach the white pom pom ribbon to the wooden lid of the jar.

Step 4: I adhered the coordinating patterned paper to the jar using regular double sided tape.

Step 5: The final touch is to adhere the ruffle flower and the chalkboard tag to the lid, again using hot glue. Taaaa Daaaa! You have a beautiful package for that sweet little something for someone special.

He's a Rule Challenger with Alyssa McGrew

Today Alyssa is here sharing a layout made with some of her favorite items from the shop.  Alyssa says:

My son is all boy, often covered in dirt and clutching a bug in his hand (or trying to hide one in his room).  He is also one to challenge the rules.  All the rules.  So, on this layout, I broke a few rules and used flowers and glitter.  He rolled his eyes and shrugged when he saw it, but I really don't think he minded.

Alyssa used burlap stars and glitter stars from the shop to make this adorable layout that has just enough classic boy to make it stand out.
