city of lights is live! another month, another kit, right? this one is filled with some gorgeous exclusives from sassafras and studio calico, as well as new crate and jenni bowlin. the mix of papers in the main just makes me happy.
i figured such a pretty kit was a good excuse to put myself on a page for once - with three boys, i don't often get to go all out girly. ;) i loved the little arrow section of the Sassafras exclusive patterned paper and used it as a starting point for my page. from there, i added my photo and then filled in with little pieces of PP - playing with different shapes and textures.
there's a big decision in alex's future - i wanted to get that down onto a page. the tag pulls out for some hidden journaling - just some thoughts on pros and cons behind the school decision. i have been DYING to have this pattern as a background stamp - sososooooo excited that it happened! i cut out different sized triangles and then backed them with patterned paper. the kesi-art pie chart paper was perfect for the theme of this page - i cut it down to a square and then stitched it in place along with some embellishments and journaling. i used Pinstripe Mister Huey and the Plano mask on the background of the page - both will be in the SC shop soon.

matthew and i went down to kansas city this month, and spent a few hours exploring an antique mall with 4 floors. some of these treasures came home with us and some didn't, but i figured they all needed to be recorded! i started this page by cutting the "4" with my cameo (Bebas font) and then arranging my photos into a grid. i left a few blank spaces and filled them in with triangles - i'd just been looking at pinterest, it seems triangles are EVERYWHERE right now! i balanced the page off with a couple of larger blocks + some messy stamping, then added sequins and brads.
