Creative Team | Numbers!

Numbers are so fun on layouts- I just can't get enough of them and many times they help out with the them of a layout if you are not sure where to start. 

Here is a look at some layouts from the creative team using some numbers... 

5 About You by Emily Spahn

Products used: Number Tags: brights (okay, so unfortunately the paper tags of these are sold out but I have the digital version of these guys here) 

Emily says: 

I LOVE the bright numbers tags!  They have the best colors, and when put together,they work perfectly as a scalloped border. I *really* wanted to use all 10 so I could get the full spectrum of colors, but only 5 fit on my page. ;) I used the colors of the tags as inspiration for the entire color scheme of the layout, choosing papers that matched their vibrant colors.

I love how Emily used the circle tags as a scalloped border- that is something I have never thought of doing before. Definitely going to try that. 

Just the 2 of Us by Pamella Brown

Products used: Vignette Circle Tags, 2-Day Hooray Flappers, Vignette Dots n Spots, 2-Day Hooray Cut Sheet, Flora Embellishments in Vignette, TreeHugger Buttons

I got the idea for this page from the 2 day hooray cut sheet line that said "just the two of us." I knew I wanted to use it for my title for a page about my husband and I"s trip to New Orleans. The vignette circle tags inspired the rest of the page. I punched my photos using a 2 inch circle punch, so that would be the same size as the circle tags. 
I added the 2 day hooray flappers to some of the circle tags and put that through my punch again so there would be a nice, smooth edge. Once I arranged my circles in a way that was pleasing to me, I added some embellishments and stitching to each circle tag.

 

I love how Pamella layers embellishments and uses a simple circle grid to rotate the photos and embellishments. 

Master's Tray by Marti Cobb

Products used: 2-Day Hooray Number Buttons, Soft Petal Tags, Vignette Dots n Spots, Storytellers: Examiner, Vignette Circle Tags

Marti says: 

 

This year, my husband had the chance to fulfill a lifelong dream when he and I got tickets to The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. His favorite spot on the entire course was Amen Corner (a nickname given to holes 11, 12 and 13). I wanted to make him something to hang in his office as a reminder of our trip and I knew these 2-Day Hooray buttons would be perfect for it. Each hole on the course is named after a tree so I also listed the hole name with each number.

 I have had my eye on these printer's trays for a while and am waiting for the right type of project to use one. I love Marti's simple take on this, especially because it is for her husband and it can be difficult to keep a masculine look with these types of  projects.

In other news...I am crazy mad working on a new release and am wrapping things up with that along with sending out orders for Days of the Weeks buttons for Week in the Life. Are you planning on doing Week in the Life? I am thinking I will give it a go this year. I had tried a few years back and did not keep up like I had planned and ditched it mid week. But this year I feel somewhat obligated with Ali using the Days of the Week buttons :) 

Just for fun- check back tomorrow for those of you on the fence about Week in the Life I will be having a giveaway for some Ormolu items that might just push you over the edge. Plus, I will share Pamella's Week in the Life book she has already set up (she' is SO on the ball it is crazy!).
