T-Shirt Quilt and Project Life Week 2

I've been having so much fun with the new Glitz Designs Color Me Happy line. Seriously loving those bright and cheerful colors! Today I want to share both a layout and Project Life spread where I used the Color Me Happy line.

This layout uses one of my favorite photos from Christmas morning. It's one of my husband holding up the t-shirt quilt I made for him. He was totally surprised! He's not always the easiest to buy gifts for, so I was happy to put this together for him.

There are so many fun bits and pieces in the Color Me Happy line. I love the Happy Paper Garland and I'm pretty sure you will be seeing that garland on lots of projects until I finally use it all up.

The paper I used for the background of this page has the who, what, when and where incorporated into the paper design. It was fun to add the journaling with stickers and work the placement of the preprinted journaling space into the page layout.

Next up for today is a Project Life spread I put together.

Once again, the bright and cheerful colors make me so happy! The big "today" on the peek a boo transparency was a perfect layer for adding the date to the spread.

One of my favorite embellishments on page is in one of the bottom pockets where I cut apart the "happy" from the paper garland and placed it over the big brown polkas. Have I mentioned that I love that Happy Paper Garland?

The Glitz 6 X 6 paper pad was just the prefect size for this spread. The new 6 X 6 pads are so cool because (1) the papers are double sided and (2) in addition to favorite 12 x 12 designs shrunk down, they have unique designs that are not part of the 12 X 12 paper collection.
