TSK CLARA ~ MY CUTE DARLINGS ~ CHARM

I've been a little flustered these days, busy with kids back at school, feeling like I am driving non-stop with dropping them all off in the morning, then picking Ryarne up for her half days and then going back to pick the other two up in the afternoon. Of course, then I have the shopping to do which seems to be an everyday occurrence as I seem to be forgetting something or needing something different everyday!

Anyway, I thought I would share this layout I started a while ago and have finally finished, by adding a little machine stitching - I think adding a little coloured thread has really made it POP!

I just love using the mixture of chipboard, die cuts and vellum in the TSK Clara kit again.


It's so easy to layer the many different pieces, giving it a 3D look...

and how adorable are the Typewriter thickers ??

I have to say I have got SOOO much out of this kit, it's so easy to work with and has such a great mix of embellishments, which makes it even easier to play! Especially when I'm not feeling the mojo & feeling highly strung and stressed out!

I hope I have inspired you to just go for it, and get out your kids and have a play! Once you get started I guarantee you will find it very therapeutic! I know I have!

Happy Creating!

TSK CLARA ~ LOVE ~ SOPHIE

Hi all, I'm back with my 3rd layout using the December TSK, Clara. Plus a couple of cards and let me tell you, I still have enough left over for at least two more layouts. I went for a Valentine's day themed layout. Not necessarily the photo but the feel of the layout. I did this by combining reds and pink with black and gold. And love hearts and lots of flowers of course.

I started off with some white card stock from my own stash, as usual, and created a background with mist, stamping and texture paste. 


 I mixed some paper flowers with the a couple of die-cut flowers from Maggie Holmes to create dimension and add a little extra interest to the page.


 I also added quite a few sequins and enamel drops from previous kits. I actually used quite a few things from previous kits.
 I add heaps left over and the colours worked perfectly with my layout. The wooden buttons can be found in the December BPK.


 I also created two cards, perfect for Valentines day. (Not that I have anyone to give them too *sigh LOL)


 I love the flower ephemera pieces from Maggie Holmes as they make creating cards so easy. Essentially you could just add it to the card, add a title and you're done.


 I also added some chipboard pieces from the pack in the kit as my titles.

Another, very different layout using Clara. I love this kit and it's versatility. Can't wait to continue scrapping with it. Until the January and February kits arrive that is.

Until next time,
thanks for stopping by,

The Scrappery Kit ~ Clara ~ Flower Girl (with Kayla)

It's Kayla back again with another layout share and process video for you.
This is my second layout using the CLARA kit. I loved the colours and patterns in this gorgeous kit.

This page is a layout of niece. We went to the annual tulip festival in our local area and I got some gorgeous photos and they match so perfectly with these colours.


Here is the process video that goes along with the layout. Sorry for the rambling!






I hope you enjoyed this little look at another layout made using Clara.
Stay tuned as we have the new kits to reveal very soon.

Love

TSK - Clara - Layout (with Sophie)

Hi guys. It Sophie again. 
Today's layout is a bit different to the other Clara layout I created. Seeing as the Maggie Holmes' style is quite vintage, I decided to use a old photo and create a vintage inspired layout. 

I started of by creating a mixed media background using mist, masks and a little modelling paste and a stamp. I also used lots of fabrics, calico, muslin and tulle (which can be found in the kit) behind my photo.

 I used a brad and some chipboard. I layered some twine I found in my stash on top of the chipboard piece to add a heritage feel. And it creates an awesome matte for my photo and adds dimension.
 I also added some of the flowers and leaves from the pack in the kit. I seriously love these. This is my kind of ephemera pack.

If your wondering, the photo is of my dad and auntie. It was taken in our front yard on our farm, in 1969 I'm pretty sure. It looks a lot different now, however the fence and gate is still there.

How versatile is this kit to be able to create two layouts, using slightly different styles? I'm sure there will be many more to come so be sure to subscribe. Remember we still have an amazing prize up for grabs for anyone who purchases a six month subscription.

Thanks for stopping by today,
Happy scrapping,
Sophie

TSK ~ Clara ~ Process Video (with Kayla)

Hi it's Kayla here again with another process video for you.
I absolutely LOVED this kit and I have THREE process videos to share with you. I definitely got the best out of the kit.

I adored this page of my puppy Bella. The gorgeous Open Book papers from Maggie Holmes.







I used some embellishments from the bits and pieces kit too and some bits from older kits. Like the bow and the hello wood veneer word. The mist able butterflies are from my own stash but tied in really well with the page when misted with the Heidi Swapp Colour Shine Georgia peach mist.


I must admit that I found the thickers really hard to work with. I think it is because I am used to working with actual letters and not circles. It took me a bit to arrange them but I thought they looked best when they were overlapped a little bit. The journalling was typed with my typewriter on some scrap paper. I also used more of the Heidi Swapp colour shine Georgia Peach mist to mist some dots on the background and of course some black velvet which is my go to mist.



I love how this turned out and I hope you enjoyed this little look at my page.

See you soon.
