Layouts from Convention using Clementine papers

Birthday give away ends soon-Click HERE

For my Travels to Dallas TX this past July for the Convention I put together these two layouts. 
Used Clementine Papers, Irresistibles Houndstooth Chipboard letters, Our special stamp set, Mini Medley Accents in the Antiqued Gold Collection. So easy to put these pages together.  I had fun and when my pictures return, I will post the Layouts in the Layout Tab above. Hope you enjoy these layouts. The papers are absolutely beautiful together. I am afraid my pics do not do the colors justice. 
See below for photo sizes and a list of supplies.
The white card stock is where the photos will go. 
(pic sizes listed below)
Bottom 2 layouts are actually my first layouts. 
The upper two pages were my second layouts. 
Made these with one paper pack and some added cardstock. 
I still have plenty of the paper pack to make other projects.


Here, The chipboard hounds tooth letters (Having Some) is the main title that were sponged with the Cocoa Ink. The secondary title was stamped in Cocoa ink from our Convention stamp set. On the Lagoon block, I used the masking technique to stamp the YEE HAW inside of the shaped stamp trim.

Here, I used a cluster of the paper flowers and the knitted flowers with brads in the center


At the top of this page, I stamped the color ready canvas shape flag in cocoa ink and clustered a few more flowers with a couple of brads. You also see the boarder stamp above the mat papers.


On this Right side layout I used the Mini Medley antiqued pieces behind the cut out star that is stamped in sunset ink. The cocoa stamped boots were stamped on a separate piece of card stock then cut out and layered onto the other elements. 

Using Mini Medley packet, I clustered the stamped stars with the metal elements together. The bottom star is raised so you can slide the edge of a picture right under it. The top star is stamped in Cocoa and the bottom star in Sunset.


Close up of the clusters 

 Here is the Title for this layout. Used the Bakers Twine to wrap around the Sunset & Colonial White cardstock layers and made a bow. Shapes cut out from the Art Philosophy cricut; banner and the back ground shape. Used three brads and stamped the banner in Lagoon ink while the background shape trim was stamped in Sunset.
