Clique Kits September 2016 Blog Share

This will be my last post as a Clique Kits Design Team member.

 I loved being on the team, learning, and growing. 

Congrats to the new 2017 Design Team! 

Thank you to Clique Kits for selecting me and sending me

so many amazing goodies every month!

Love the exclusive cut files from Clique Kits in the monthly downloads section here! They have great exclusive cut files that are designed to coordinate with each month's kits! 

Our Pep Rally challenge from our Design Team Leader, Nicole, was to scrap about someone we love to the moon and back.  I took lots of the exclusive pocket cards and layered them behind the photo, and added arrows and hearts. You can get past Kits on sale, from the Clique Kits Store 

right now! What an amazing deal! Next blog on this hop is Sandy Gonzalez .

Clique Kits and Precious Remembrance Shop Stamps Hop

You should arrive from the Clique Kits Blog, but I have the hop list below to help you.
So, stamping is still one of my fave techniques!

These Precious Remembrance Stamps are so versatile!

 Supplies: Clique Kits August 2016 Kit, Precious Remembrance Shop Stamps ("Totally" set)

Got stamps? Then, you can make your own patterned paper! Just repeat stamp until you have covered enough area, and then apply any color ink that coordinates with your layout. I used the Hero Arts Ombre Ink to stamp and the Ranger Distress Ink to blend with an Ink Blending Tool.

Then, hand cut your chevron, arrow quill shapes using the first one as a template.

Add a combination of straight and zig zag stitching, and lift up the edges of each shape for more dimension. Notice, there are three rows of shapes and four rows of stamping. That comes out to seven, since our eyes crave odd numbers in design.

Close up of the title and photo area. Love how the "Totally" title looks when stamped! Like it has been brush lettered! I used the Versafine Onyx Black Ink.


Next stop on the hop is the talented Kim! Have fun, and review the list below if you get lost!



Join Clique Kits and Precious Remembrance Shop for an amazing blog hop filled with inspiration and maybe some prizes!! We will be sharing projects using the August Clique Kit and some Precious Remembrance Shop Stamps! It all starts at the Clique Kits blog at 10:00am CST Get ready to be inspired!!

Clique Kits August 2016: Fresh Layout

So excited to be sharing my Clique Kits August 2016

'Fresh" Layout! 

 Supplies: The Rio August 2016 Clique Kits kit and the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Colour Me Happy Enamel Dots from the Add-ons for August.

This exclusive cut file is one of many available in the Clique Kits Store for August!

Close up of the title, also from the Clique Kits August Exclusive Cut files. Those translucent sequins included in this month’s kit are perfect for repeating the transparency of the ice and drink in the photo. The variety of embellishments included this month make it easy to add interest to your page with different textures. LOVE this kit so much!

I would love it if you watch, like, and subscribe: You tube video here

#LittleSummerJOY 2016: Lesson 3 - Get Into Your Story

Get Into Your Story is this week's prompt!

I am so happy with this week's ideas posted over at 

LittlePaperProjects.com !

 For #LittleSummerJOY2016 Lesson 3, we are to focus on the story. This was the perfect solution for our summer trip to Magic Mountain, where we were so focused on experiencing the moments together and quickly getting to the next ride on our "Big Thrills" list! I took so few photos, but was uber immersed in the joy of the experience.

When I got home and started to put together the rest of my traveler's notebook (started on the trip), I got stuck at the Magic Mountain day that we spent from open to park close riding big rides! #LittleSummerJOy prompt to the rescue! The journaling on the left was all completed at the hotel room during our trip. I simply added the Pinkfresh Studio Life Noted paper from the July Clique Kits at the bottom to make a pocket for the couple photos I do have from that day.

 Here are the three tags that fit in the pocket. Two have photos and the journaling on the back.  The Six Flags park map ride descriptions were a perfect way to include the info and a checkmark for each ride we experienced, on the third tag.

The tag fronts: check marked all the rides we went on so that we can always remember how much fun we had together!!




This traveler's notebook spread has a lot of the story, and now I feel at peace with that, and able to find joy in the moments we did capture.


If you would like to participate in this fun #LittleSummerJOY2016 and capture all your favorite summer joys, visit www.LittlePaperProjects.com and click on the #LittleSummerJOY2016 tab at the top. There is lots of freebie info there and links to a paid class here:

#LittleSummerJOY: Lesson 2 Hometown Exploring

This is such an amazing class! 

#LittleSummerJOY led me to explore a local desert demonstration garden 

and use my travelers' notebook to log 

an evening geocaching adventure with my bestie!

Such a great prompt and ideas from the 

LittlePaperProjects.com

website!! 

Both the geocaching and the desert demonstration gardens were a first for me! That is what is so cool about the prompts for #LittleSummerJOY, they get me out of my comfort zone and exploring new adventures and moments! More ways to be thankful for the everyday, the simple and the new joys this summer!

SUPPLIES: The Clique Kits July Kit , Project Life® Happy Place Journal Card, Digital stamp on the right photo from Kellie Stamps July Release

Join in the fun and comment along the way 

for a chance at a full kit giveaway prize! 

You should arrive from Kim Allen's blog, the entire hop list is below though.

 With just one steel rule die set, you can quickly put together a cohesive page. Used three different size stars here. I like to try to see how many different color schemes I can create with one Clique Kit!

 Using the EXCLUSIVE cut files that coordinate with your April Kit , you can find them here in the Clique Kits Store. hint: They are on the last page:)

Have you tried a grid collage style on a scrapbook page yet? This is the first one for me. There are so many cute die cuts in this kit to pick from! Those Bella BLVD enamel hearts are perfect! My fave from this month's kit, is the exclusive mirrored acrylic camera from Color Cast Designs!

Used the sketch that Erica added to our Facebook Group "The Clique" and you can join in there for lots of inspiration!

You can simply watercolor and punch into circles once dry, along with patterned paper from your kit.

Clique Kits March Pep Rally 2016

It's time for another edition of the Pep Rally

from Clique Kits! You should arrive here from Mariah Hechler's blog,

 but no worries the whole hop list is below!

This layout was on the Clique Kits Blog on Feb. 20th

From the Feb.26th Blog post at Clique Kits. 

New layout created for this hop, using the lovely Seven Paper and Studio Calico "Goldie" collection by designer Ashley Goldberg! Love this patterned paper so much! Cut-a-parts, and labels by Pinkfresh Studio are exclusive to Clique Kits. Ran them through my printer to print directly on the labels. Stamps on the background "making something" by Kellie Stamps, using Aqua Mist ink from Papertrey Ink. 

Created the fringe circles with the add on silver and gold crepe paper in the Clique Kits Store, this month, and the washi tape, and paper clip are from a glassine bag in our kits this month. Inspired by a fellow Design Team Member to scrap our road trip to meet Heidi Swapp! YAY!

This week's Creative Team Planner spread using this March kit, stamps by Studio Calico and One Little Bird.

You can visit the shop at Clique Kits here, to get yourself this gorgeous kit.
