Fun in A Tree Layout with Alyssa McGrew

Fun in a Tree Layout
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Alyssa McGrew

This week's Project Life spread focused on our trip to a local ropes course.  I got so many fun photos of the kids (and their dad) in the trees, working their way through the course.  I used a series of tags from the shop as the base of the layout, and built on top of them.  I also carried the tag theme into the divided side of the page.  

All of the shop's tags can be found in our Labels, Tags, and Library Supplies Sections Here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/curtseyboutique?section_id=10929714

Library Pocket Butterfly Card with Kim Stewart

Kim made a little card using the library cards and pockets.  She  made a collage butterfly to staple onto the manila pocket.  It's such an easy project that you can make using found office supplies and tags you have just laying around.  Then add a sentiment of stickers or hand written journaling.

Thanksgiving Day Place Card & Utensil Holder with Andrea Amu

Thanksgiving Day Place Card & Utensil Holder

When I came across the burlap bags in my stash of Curtsey Boutique supplies, I knew instantly that they would make wonderfully fancy utensil bags for dressing up our Thanksgiving dinner table!  

The chalkboard tags are the perfect accompaniment for displaying everyone's seating arrangement.  Better yet, these bags were so easy to put together.  I used some faux leaves that I purchased at the local dollar store and started by attaching two leaves to a yellow hand-dyed doily with glue dots.  I also adhered a fabric Curtsey Boutique flower on top of the leaves and then affixed the embellished doily to the burlap bag with a heavier glue dot.  

To finish off each bag, I simply tied on the chalkboard tag with a string of burlap and wrote the name onto the tag with chalk.  Easy and elegant!

Halloween Layouts? I know you're thinking I'm a few weeks late, but I just got my Halloween photos back from the my local pharmacy and couldn't wait to try out this cute layout idea Jenifer shared. Perhaps you too aren't ready to let go of all that's spooky and fun?

Project Instructions:

Take a fun piece of spider patterned paper and do some layering with ribbons and lace.  Make a fun “spider web” by layering a few doilies, string and adding the wonderful glitter spiders.

Finish the layout off with a fun title and a chalkboard tag.

I find scrapping my husband and male relatives to be a bit of a challenge so I am absolutely in love with Connie's neutral toned layout. Her use of vintage inspired imagery, burlap and office themed ephemera is perfect for highlighting the important men in her life.
