Fabulous You 8x8 Layout for ***Cheery Lynn Designs***

Goodmorning everyone,
Today I will have two blog posts to share first up is a 8x8 layout I made with some of the new Cheery Lynn Designs dies I received. And the other one is about a wonderful new design team I will be designing for so keep watching my blog today.
This time I went masculine using the blue & cream tones from the "Vintage Autumn Basics"collection by Maja Design. Without any flowers which was weird in a sense since I always use flowers. Yesterday I got my new DT package in the mailbox and I had to dig in right away. Since I was on this team the first time I really wanted to have the B360 - Hot Air Balloons but always some new die got in the way of ordering it but not this time around and I am so glad I have it!

Fabulous You:

The picture I used is one of my handsome little/big man Kevin. I really love his goovy smile in this picture and he looks a lot older here then he was at that time {he was seven}.

I went a little with the theme for this week "Sparkle and Shine" by using some black bling gems on the FRM132 - French Lattice Small Frame hopefully you can see that in my pictures. For the centers of my gears I used little metal brads. 

Lets have a closer look:

Just Saying - Masculine Layout for ***Maja Design***

>>> For My Massive Birthday Giveaway Press Here <<< 
Hi everyone, 

I am so excited to show you my first layout as a Maja Girl ;-)

Sadly though that I will be filling in for Gabrielle {I will miss her awesome work with Maja} for the next six months but I'll try and do my best for you all.

I really love this months "mood board" and I was planing to participate in it before I got asked to be on the Maja Design Team! So a masculine layout I will show you today {without any blooms yep that was a real task for me}

The picture I used is one of our handsome son in a German amusement park! He told his dad can I sit on the car to take a picture. My husband said sure you can but I never got around to scrap it.

I always take out my first sheet {that's darker blue one} cut out the middle part and on top of that a whole bunch of layers. Let's have a closer look:

I don't know if some of you already know my work but I love to use chipboard especially with the beautiful Maja Design papers. For this layout I took out all my metal pieces, that had to do anything with gears or cars.

Maja Design Papers used:
