"You & Me"  Layout Tutorial 

In my "You & Me" layout tutorial, I altered a layout design we made at the 2016 Close To My Heart Convention.  Its highlights include the new Sea Glass card stock, Fundamentals Memo, Uptown, and Adventure Cardstock Combo paper packs.  

Papercrafting with the new Close To My Heart Fundamentals papers, its coordinating Complements, and awesome "Color of the Year" Sea Glass is fun! I love the versatility of all of these wonderful new products, and hope you do as well!

Embellishments are always a great way to add a little extra pizzazz to showcase your precious memories. Here I used the gold glitter complements from the You & Me Complements, along with its coordinating gold ribbon from the Uptown Ribbon Pack.  


Preparation

1. Trim ¾"x 12" Blossom and Lemon cardstock down to three equal pieces of 4" each. Set aside one piece of each color—these are not used. Dovetail one end of remaining pieces.
2. Cut Slate plus sign B&T paper  5¼" x 9½"; 3¼" x 12"
3. Cut 2 Sea Glass cardstock 1¾" x 12";  cut 3 6¼" x 4¼"; cut 1 4¼" x 3¼"; 2¼" x 2¼"
4. Cut 2 Diagonal Stripes Vellum paper 1¾" x 12" 
5. Cut 2 each Tangerine, Raspberry, and Blossom cardstock ¼" x 12"
6. Cut White Daisy cardstock 2" x 2"

Note:  Base papers are the loose leaf style sheets from the Memo Fundamentals Paper Pack.
