Love Always Mommy Layout by Lisa Spiegel
 |
| Love Always Mommy Layout Curtsey Boutique Designer Lisa Spiegel |
Have you ever pulled out a coat or purse after having not used it in awhile and discovered a $10 bill? It is such a lovely unexpected surprise. The same thing happened to me today when I was doing a bit of inbox cleaning I found one more project from Lisa that I hadn't shared yet with you - a lovely surprise!
Lisa filled her layout with doilies, a library card, vellum bag and our shipping tags.
In her own words "I use all of these products on almost every layout I create! I just love the subtle layering they allow and the ability to hide my journaling in the vellum bag is one of my best tricks to sharing meaningful journaling that you might not want everyone looking through your album to see."

Wherever You Go Bring Your Own Sunshine Layout by Lisa Spiegel
 |
| Wherever You Go Bring Your Own Sunshine Layout Curtsey Boutique Designer Lisa Spiegel |
Layering is one of the best ways to create interest on a page, and I like to use not just paper but several types of products to create that fun layered look. I love how many there are to choose from with Curtsey Boutique!
My process goes like this...I select my photo or photos and then I usually pull all my embellishments first, trying to find some that match my photo. Then I'll select a background paper.
My process goes like this...I select my photo or photos and then I usually pull all my embellishments first, trying to find some that match my photo. Then I'll select a background paper.
In this case, I chose a retired Sassafras Lass paper because I loved the clouds which I felt help tell the story of my photo of my daughter and her friends on a rainy day. Then I started layering.
First, I choose papers. In this case, I chose a vellum and tape measure paper. I started tucking things in like the sunshine, a Glassine bag (I cut it in half and tucked in top and bottom for the illusion of a larger bag), a doily (also cut in half and tucked top and bottom), and some tulle ribbon.
I decided to embellish the corner of the flower girl with a Garland Flag, a doily and a Round Tag. (I thought she was so cute with her daisy umbrella and sunny disposition. She totally echo'd my daughter's and her friend's faces while they ran to class in the rain.)
I used my Silhouette to create my title and backed it with the polka dot paper. I created a custom sunshine with my trusty zig zag scissors and my sewing machine and used it to highlight the word Sunshine for the title. A few dew drops, some vellum circles and a clothespin all add even more dimension.
The last little touch is some random thread, I love how thread softens the look of papers. As always I added some journaling to tell my story...I just don't think a page is finished without journaling!
I hope you've enjoyed this little look into my layering process and would love to see your take on layering..be sure to stop by our Facebook Fan page and share your pages with us!!

Gift Card Holder Tutorial with Lisa Spiegel
Today I'm
bringing you a Shabby Chic Package Tag or Gift Card Holder you can
create using some simple Curtsey Boutique supplies.
You will need:
To create my
tag, I first trimmed 1/2 inch off the bottom of the tag, then I
wrapped the doily around the shipping tag to create a pocket and
glued the flaps down with my tape runner. I tied seam binding
into two bows to embellish the tag. To create the doily flower on the
front, I simply pinched the doily together.

Then punched
two leaves from the Glassine Bag and attached them to the flower with
a mini stapler. I then wrapped the bottom in washi to secure the
layers and hide the staple.
.JPG)
This flower was
attached to the front of the pocket and I added a couple of paper
flowers from my stash as well.
.JPG)
The
final touch was a two layer Glassine butterfly that I punched from
the bag and stapled together.

Thanks for
stopping by today!
