TRD Presents: 4x4 Friday Lives: Episode #2

Well I think our second TRD 4x4 Friday Live went a little more smoothly, but I definitely still suffer from decision stress when trying to scrap live, which is why THIS final layout is not what we ended up with at the end of the live! But let’s roll back a minute…

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, during the entire month of August, I’m scrapbooking LIVE on YouTube every Friday night at 9 PM EST and at the kickoff party, we rolled the dice to find out what the challenges were going to be all month long!

You can watch that live HERE if you want to see how we decided and how I put together my stash-busting kit I’ll be using all month:

This week, the challenge was off-theme, so I went with a birthday layout using the FUN Fruitfully Frosted and Party Sentiments stamps I designed for Catherine Pooler!

This is ACTUALLY where the layout ended up after just over an hour of scrapbooking live:

It was great, especially all the stamping we did and the cake came out fabulously (BTW, that cake is popped up on Big Mama foam tape from Spiegelmom Scraps and I am IN LOVE)

So after the live was done, I decided we needed some more embellishing and I got to work adding bits and pieces from my Sun Kissed collection for Echo Park, the lemons that I just couldn’t seem to make work LIVE, gold foil stickers from my Magical Birthday line for Simple Stories and of course, that green twine!

The star of the show is still that gorgeous cake, but now everything just feels a little more done, doesn’t it?

If you watched live, you’ll know I dropped a stamp with green ink on it up in this corner, but I think it’s recovered nicely, don’t you?

You can watch the full stream HERE and I hope you join me Friday Nights at 9 EST to play along! If you do play along, tag me on Instagram so I can see your layout and use the hashtag #TRD4x4FridayLives!
