Guest Designer | My Little Shoebox (July 2010 In Review & Sweet Corn Layouts)

This month I am the guest designer for My Little Shoebox. I have always loved MLS's colorful collections and I am thrilled they asked me to guest design for them again! Each Thursday through the month I will have new MLS projects to share with you.

This week I have two new layouts featuring MLS's newest collections.

First, another month in review layout. I used pieces from both the Home Tweet Home and Farmer's Market Collections for my page.

The photo collage was created with Kerri Bradford's Picture That Go Long Template Kit:

I love the ease in which I can create a quick collage with Kerri's kits. This particular kit is probably my favorite. ;)

I adore MLS's die cuts. I layered several circles and a flower die cut before adding a button secured with string for this matching embellishment. I also layered my favorite border die cuts above and below the photo collage.

The cardstock stickers in these collections are so sweet. I popped this little guy up on foam adhesive and perched him atop the photo collage border.

The die cut title was created with a combination of die cuts from Kerri Bradford and Silhouette.

I combined lots of borders for the right side of page and added some Doodlebug buttons to the centers of some of the flowers.

For my second layout, I used lots of goodies from the Farmer's Market Collection (and another photo collage!).

I used the same photo collage template kit as above (Kerri Bradford's Picture That Go Long Template Kit), opting for the template with 4 photos for this page. I also printed a couple of 2x3" photos to tuck into the border up top.

I used a combination of a shape from the Silhouette store and a font from my library (honeyscript at www.dafont.com) to create the die cut title.

I used coordinating stickers, die cuts and clear buttons for accents on my page.

I printed the journaling directly on one of the die cut tags and embellished it with coordinating stickers.
