Today I’m sharing two pages I scraplifted from Lexi Bridges using Studio Calico’s Penny Arcade kits. As soon as I saw Lexi’s sneak peek for her Pineapple Whip page, I knew I wanted to lift it. I had pictures from my recent trip to Hawaii that were perfect for this layout and was so excited when I saw her page. So I waited for my kits to arrive and began recreating her layout. I painted the pineapples about a week ago and then saw that Lexi recently posted a tutorial on how she created them on her blog here if you want to check it out. I finally finished the layout last night so I thought I’d post it here as part of my series of 40 Pages.
The second layout is also a lift of one of Lexi’s pages. I thought it was so cool how she cut out the clouds with the Silhouette and then had the patterned cloud paper peek through the back. Plus, it was a good opportunity to use my sewing machine again since I loved all of the stitched touches she included. The photo here is another one from Hawaii but this one is from a previous trip back in 2011. The stamp from this month’s Studio Calico kit (“The Sky’s The Limit”) worked perfectly with my photo and overall I’m really happy with this layout. It’s probably the first time I’ve used so many techniques on one page! (Die cutting, stamping, sewing, watercolors and printables.) I think that’s definitely a record for me!
Thank you, Lexi, for the amazing inspiration and for motivating me to use so many techniques on my pages! So glad to see you back at Studio Calico sharing your work each month! 🙂
Nice layouts! I love the picture on the second one!
Thank you, Marie-Eve! Just me being silly on the beach! 🙂
