White space really can be your friend...
I don't know if any of you are like me, but I want to fill up every
single space on my layout.  I love STUFF.

Tomoko and Agniezska have put together layouts using white space and
they are challenging you all (and me) to do the same.

Make more outta less... 2 page layouts.

Hey there...
So sorry today's post is late, but I got a new puppy and I just couldn't stop playing with her...
Her little face is so cute I wanna kiss it and squish her all day!
( I call it the kiss and squish.. hee hee hee)

Moving on....
Today the best Design Team ever has come up with some fabulous
2 page layouts using limited supplies. 
They have each given you a tip to make things easy peasy  for ya'll. 

Here was the recipe they worked with:
4 patterned papers
1-2 pieces Double Dot cardstock
2 embellishment packs of your choice

First up..

Title - "2"
Julie Tucker-Wolek

 Julie says: "When I am making 2 page layouts -- I always grab a Bo Bunny Noteworthy pack!! They make for great embellishments on my pages, and there are so many to chose from that you will have plenty leftover for many more projects to come!"

Supplies:Pattern Paper: 
Little Miss, Maree, Jaquoya, cutouts
Noteworthy: Little Miss

Speaking of Little Miss... ever wonder where the cute names on each of these papers come from??
Each name an employee's daughter, sister, niece or mom's name.  (it's kinda fun...)

Next up

Fly a kite 
by Mireille Divjak
Mireille says: " Having just a few supplies you can create your own embellishments by cutting them from patterned paper, like I did with the kites. A little chalk ink and pen for finishing touches and your layout is pretty interesting and eye-catching too."
Supplies:
Cardstock: Ocean Dot
Patterned Paper: Hello Sunshine! ; dot, stripe, picnic, Daydream 
Chipboard Alpha's : Chunky Chips (black)
Ribbon : double dot

And to perfectly finish off today's layouts:

Lazy Days of Summer
By Sarah Eclavea

Sarah says: "I only used four sheets of patterned for this layout and two of them were for my background. To get more use out of the remaining sheets I used the patterns on both sides so it appears like I used more papers than I actually did. I also hand cut from my papers to make my own embellishments (bottom border and banner). "

Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Stripe, Busy Bee, Cut Outs, Hello Sunshine/ Hello Sunshine
Stickers: Lazy Days,, Dimensional/ Hello Sunshine
Cardstock: Ocean Vintage/ Vintage Dot
