November Freaky Fast all Wrapped Up in 1 POST!!

***Looking for Sneak #5? See the post below...

Ok, ok, ok...it's been busy, but I promise Freaky Fast Friday is not going anywhere!! As a matter of fact, it will be better starting with December. Wait and see!!

Anyhoo, I am here to share November's FREAKY FAST LAYOUTS ALL WRAPPED INTO 1 POST!!

Here is November's formula.....

1. Cardstock or Patterned Paper Background
2. 1-3/4 X 6 patterned paper strip
3. 1-1/2 X 6 patterned paper strip
4. 1-1 3/4 X 6 patterned paper strip
5. 1-2 X 6 patterned paper strip
6. 2-1 X 6 patterned paper strip


And here are the steps to completing your layouts using the November formula...

1. Collect a few pics.
2. Cut your patterned paper to the dimensions stated above.
3. Push the paper around your cardstock till you achieve the look you want, or simply copy my layout below!
4. Adhere and EMBELLISH! It is that easy!!

Here is a look at my NOVEMBER FREAKY FAST LAYOUTS...

4 Booties in a Row

Cozy Nights at Home

These layouts were created using the Crate Paper Random and WRMK Autumn Splendor November Doubleshot Kit. And again, they were really east to put together. As you can guess, the 6 inch length of the paper strips is to accommodate a 4 X 6 photo, but of course this could be modified if you use larger or smaller photos. Also, can't you just see this working for a double? You could add more pictures and patterned paper, and tada...finished!! The first layout took about 35 minutes and the second, about an hour....only because of the journaling! Pretty good, right?

Sorry for the delay! And if you are looking for Sneak #5, see the post below!

Design Team Inspiration with Kim!!

Hi Scrappers!!!! Hope all of you are enjoying the season of Thanksgiving as we prepare our turkeys, dressing, and the arrival of loved ones. It seems like a lot of "ho-hum" as we prep, cook, slave away in the kitchen, but all of it comes together once we look around the table and are surrounded by those we dearly love. With that said, we are rapidly approaching the next season...Christmas!!!!! I don't know about you, but I have been looking for inspiration for all things "Tis the Season" As the rest of you I have found tons of inspiring ideas over at Pinterest. I have decided to make most of my gifts and cards for my family and I needed to find ideas that were fast and easy. So for those of you who like to add that special "Crafty" touch for the holidays, let me show you a few cards and such that I plan on using....

I hope you find some inspiration from these few items and I wish you and your family a very safe and happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Are You Ready for Thanksgiving?

Here's a bit of Thanksgiving Pinterest Inspiration!

Product Spotlight: Little Yellow Bicycle Autumn Tree!

The Little Yellow Bicycle Autumn Tree...gotta love it!
And you certainly can't have a good Fall Collection without trees and leaves, right? The Little Yellow Bicycle Hello Fall Collection, was a perfect addition to our November TSR Flavors of the Month Kit. The colors are vibrant and bright...perfect FALL!! But papers with a scene can sometimes be tricky, don't ya think? Some of the problems...If you put too many pics you could cover the images, you can only put your pics in one place, and how do you add a scene image to a double layout without fussy cutting for hours? It can present problems.

Here is a look at how our DT tackled the dilemma!

Happy Fall by Jenny

Jenny added strips of paper to the left hand side of her layout to give her layout balance, and she also completely filled the white space of the Autumn Tree paper with pics! Great layout!!

Wise Beyond Your Years by Kim

Kim did just a bit of fussy cutting, by just cutting out the trunk of the tree! Who knew that the tree would look this cute on a layout without the colorful leaves...smarty pants!

One Happy Tree Climber by Melanie

I think Melanie added every single Little Yellow Bicycle Embellishment from this kit to her layout...love it! I love the way she used the Autumn Tree paper "as is" and a different colored piece of the LYB patterned paper for her left side of her double! I also LOVE how she added threaded buttons to her leaves to give it some dimension.

Fall Is On Its Way by Frances

I really tried to keep the tree the main focus of my layout, so I added just a few LYB embellishments here and there to the right side of my layout to draw your eye there. I also doodled around a few of leaves to make them POP!!

Happy Fall by Aphra

Aphra was just genius to slap the LYB Autumn Tree paper on some coordinating cardstock!! And again to balance her layout, she added her pics and embellishments to the left side of her double. LOVE the vibrant, blue cardstock with her pics!

There you have it! Hope this encourages you to use your Little Yellow Bicycle Autumn Tree Paper, and scene patterned paper too! Have a great Tuesday!!

***By the way, if you look to the post below this one, Tammy's Steal of the Week is a LYB Fall Pack for $7.15...50% + discount!!!! WOWEE!!

Design Team Inspiration with Jenny!

Ahhhh....Fall. One of my favorite times of the year! I love the cooler temps, longer nights, and time spent doing fun things with my family, like visiting the pumpkin patch and going on a hay ride! :) Another thing I love the most about Fall is the beautiful colors found in nature and home decor around this time of year.

The November TSR kit is loaded with beautiful, rich Fall tones and patterns....perfect for those October and November photos!

I recently found a lovely website with some awesome ideas for color palettes. Check some of them out:

Aren't those gorgeous palettes of coordinating colors?!! I love them all. The good news is...most of these colors are found right here in our November kit! I cant wait to use this website for some more ideas for pages and even for some room decorating in my home. :)

I hope the colors of Fall inspire you like they do for me!
