Front Row - The Layouts

• If you're here looking for a discount coupon code for my little etsy shop, please, scroll to the next post. :) 
• My knees and super soft and jiggly midsection are hurting. I just wanna lie down and sleep until the middle of next week. This so called 'healthy lifestyle' is kicking my butt, hard. Please tell me that I will not be feeling like a truck just ran over me for much longer? That the 10km trail walk is gonna get easier each day? *sigh* I'm so deep in self pity it's ridiculous! Ha! 
• Oh, and while it may look like it, whining is not the only reason I started this post. :) I'm here to share with you my layouts made with Studio Calico Front Row kits - which also means less talking nonsense and more pretty stuff. Yay? Yay! :)
• All layouts are linked directly to my gallery so you can see which kit/add-on and shop items I used for that particular layout.

Amazing Thailand
I saw the phrase 'Service with a smile' on that BG paper and instantly reminded of Thailand. As you already know, I love Thailand, I love Thais! :) 
Absolutely love the multi colored stitching I did here. The colors are just so pretty (if I may say so). That wide ombre washi is perfect for our vacation layout. Reminds me of beaches :)




1982
How cute was I in the photo? LOL! Don't you just long for childhood days? The photo was taken at my grandparents house - I'm nostalgic. The house is still there, but very very different now because different people are living in it. 
I stitched down the negatives from die cut butterflies - loving how they look on this layout. I can never get tired of butterflies.




Hello Mommy!

*grins* Hello Mommy! I went for a movie by myself and I get home to this face, constantly saying Hello mommy! Hello mommy! :) I needed to record that down! One day, I will be the one saying 'Hello Nidhi! Hello Nidhi!' when she gets home from movies with friends. LOL.

I used the new mask from Snippets to build my background, then stitched around some of the speech bubbles. I also used my typewriter to add Hello Mommys.

I think, the Hello stamp from the card kit was just perfect for this layout! :)

Loving These Moments

I had to scrap this photo I took for Aleida's Challenge one morning, no one was showered or ready for the day at that time.

I used my typewriter to journal on the PL card. Some typos, doubles and a missing word on there but I decided to just let it go in the spirit of embracing the imperfection in each of us.

Over and Over Again

I love that 'love you to the moon' card from PL kit so much had to make a layout with it! :)

Used Cameo (font Bebas) to cut the large 'AGAIN'. (can you tell I love that paper so much? I keep reaching for it over and over again :P)

i added airplanes clips from the shop - i needed them to go to the moon, ykwim? LOL.

Everyday
I love that photo of us. It's an old photo but still one of my favorite.

"There has never been a day when I have not been proud of you, though some days I'm louder about other stuff so it's easy to miss that." ~ Story Of The Day

Oh I'm loud alright. :) 

Love those JB stickers - Read This, Know This, Remember This. Couldn't be more perfect. ♥

Busy Girl
Busy busy girl, she is! I feel like I rarely see her starting from this year. :) 

All is good though, I like that she's busy enjoying school and friends and all the activities in school. Busy is nice. Busy is good. But I miss my girl - no doubt.

Busy layout as well? :) I wanted to include all the days of the week on there and decided on circles. This time, I adhere my papers and silhouette cut before I pierce so I stitch on top of them. Love the outcome of that :)

Plain & Simple
There is that cheeky boy again. 

I love you. Plain and Simple. isn't that the best kind of love?

Had so much fun with circles on this layout. I love the process of figuring out which goes where. Stitched the outlines in bright orange to match the personality of my nephew! Never a dull moment when he's around.
