Scrapbooking Process Video 'You Are My Happy Place'

Hello there, and welcome to another post with a Scrapbooking process video.  This layout features my husband and our dog Trail, giving him some serious 'face time,' (usually he just lays his face on top of your face, unless you coax it back, like my husband, Stan did here, and he's ok with just wrapping himself around your neck :)

For this layout, I again, started by mating my photos.  The main photo, I lightly matted on black cardstock, so I could tuckin the little 4x4" squares I cut from a Teresa Collins 12x12 pattern paper.  I embellished the squares with some Heidi Swapp stamps, and arrow die cuts using dies from Carta Bella.  The  kind of shabby looking paper with some red script is very old Making Memories paper, which I stamped a stripe border from some Art Warehouse stamps.  'You are My Happy Place' is from a Papertrey Ink stamp set, Phrase Play #1.  The two tags featured on this layout are also Papertrey ink dies, but I cannot find them on their website to give you the name.  There are four different dies in the set, and they are just a great size, about 3"X 1".  The stamping on the top tag is from Papertrey Ink's Button Boutique stamp set.  The heart border is from W Plus 9, the chevron border stamp is Kaiser Craft.  The background grid paper is also Teresa Collins, I added the background stamps (PTI, Polka Dot Basics, and Background Text Style II) just to create a little interest and contrast.  Finished off the layout with a bit of twine on the second tag. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, any questions about the project, products, techniques used, please leave a comment.
