Good Vibes LO | Clique Kits DT

Good morning everyone!! Today is kind of bitter sweet. I am sharing my last layout for Clique kits today. I've been part of the Clique kits family for over 3 years now and I am going to miss it! The online shop will stay open through August and there are great sales going on, when the store opens back up. Gia is away for a little bit and the store will be back open, with the great sales before to long. Ok, well now onto my last layout.....

I started this layout with white cardstock and the Summer Groove kit. I also pulled a sketch from 30 Days of sketches with Christy's Beautiful life. Here the sketch I played with.

I wasnr sure what I was going to do with the background at first, so I decided to play with the photos I picked and adding a few photo mats to them and getting them positioned how I wanted them.

I went through the kit and pulled different embellishments that I thought I might want to use on this layout and put them to the side. I went through my stash of clique kits stuff and found this piece of cardstock.Its an old Bazzil, Blossom. I decided to cut it into strips and use it as my background and for the strips in the sketch.

I added them to my background, ran them threw my sewing machine and ruffed up the sides and decided to start placing my photos and adding embellishments.

I tucked flowers here and there behind my pictures, I popped one of the pictures in the lower right corner up on 3D foam, to add some dimension. This was really a quick and easy layout. In the end I decided to pull another paper from the kit and fussy cut that bottom scallop at the bottm, I added some Heidi Swapp color shine in gold from my stash and called this layout good. I hope you liked this layout and I hope you continue to follow along, even though I will no longer be posting for Clique Kits. I have more scrappy fun coming and make sure to check out my Facebook group, TikTok, youtube and Instagram for more insperation!

Creative Scrappers December reveal and Blog Hop!!

Hi Everyone!

Creative Scrappers is hosting a BLOG HOP today in conjunction with our reveal for sketch 302 and our sponsor Spiegelmom Scraps. I hope you can take a few minutes from your busy day and join us!

I created 2 different layouts with this sketch. I stuck really close to the sketch with my 1st layout, Little Miss Doctor

I used some awesome Love beats sequins from Spiegelmom, I love the irradecent color of the white circle sequins and the hearts are so cute. Then I played with the cork pieces too, cork-fetti hearts. I also added a doily from Spiegeelmom.

I loved this sketch so I decided to use it again, but not follow it so close. I love the inspiration from sketches, you can use the same ones over and over again and get different results. So I went for it and loved how both of them turned out! I added some of the same items from Spiegelmom to this layou as well, but I also used a glassin baggie and filled it with sequins and sewed it shut with a cork heart to seal it.

Here's the order for today's hop!

Creative Scrappers / Love this day together 12x12 layout

Good morning everyone!! Today I'm sharing my 1st layout with Creative Scrapper sketch blog as a design team member!  

Here is the sketch, make sure to play along, share your layout with #CreatingWithSketches just like every month there is a fantastic prize for the winner and this month the great sponsor is My Creative Scrapbook.

Now here is my take on the sketch. I stuck real close to the sketch it self because I loved the way it looked.

I used the Maggie Holmes, Shine collection for this layout, it just went great with the colors in my pictures, since I don't usually scrap colored photos anymore, it was nice that I had something in my stash that worked so great!

 Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my layout and I hope to see your layout out too!

The cold never bothered be anyways/ Hip Kit CT Layout

Good morning everyone!! It is finally getting cold here so its been a blast to work with this months kits and last years pictures!

I made this layout using the sketch that Ashley Horton created for one of the challenges on the Hip kit club forums

This here is my take on that great sketch. And to be honest the title was my hubbies suggestion lol. Our girls love Frozen and it popped into his head and it stuck and ended up as the title.lol. Along with this sketch challenge I thought I would challenge myself to use a colored cardstock background. Now to some of you this may not seem hard, but I dont stray much from my white background, it feels weird. And this wasnt any different but I loved the color of this pretty cardstock, Lollipop, even the name is fun!

So I turned to my Silhouette and grabbed Nicole Nowosad and Ashley Hortons cut files and started to play to see what I was going to do for the background. And then when I needed to fill the circles I automatically went for that Pink Fresh Studio paper. I love that little penguin!!  And thought it would work as its own little embellishment. Along with that little cute deer. So I started backing my paper with pieces of that Pink fresh studio paper, then I stared to sew little snow flakes and the print and cut files from Kim watson, to the page.

I backed my photo of my youngest daughter with Kims exclusive papers and then started to add puffy stickers and those pretty pretty glittered silver foam stickers, also exclusive to this kit! I added little thread messes behind some of the embellishment clusters and then remembered I had those My minds eye enamel dots and had to add some of those too! Like on the cute little deers bow,lol. 

To finish off my layout I grabbed my white acrylic paint, because at the moment Im out of my while mist, add some water to it and splattered it around my layout.

Thanks for stopping by my blog to check my layout out. Head over to the Hip Kit Blog and check out what all the other ladies have made with the kits from November and then head over to facebook and look up the Hip Kit group, come join in on great chats and fun challenges with chances to win!!

Good Morning and Happy Monday!!

This last week or a bit more have flown by!! Between kids being sick, me being sick and then Halloween and family stuff, everything seems to have flown by and I have barley got to scrap! I'm joansing!!

Well Im here to share a layout I did for Lets Get Sketchy and this month were doing things a bit different over there. There is a mood board and a sketch!! And I have to say, I'm loving this!! The colors are so great for this time of year, just perfect!

And this is the sketch for this week. Brenshevia did a fantastic job with this sketch too!! 

So with the combination of the two, this layout came together without a problem and soooo fast!

This is my grandparents and the pictures aren't the best, ones a but to bright and the other a bit dark but I love them! So I decided to use these and I dipped into my stash and grabbed some of my old crate paper and some of my Amy tangerine Cut&Paste and just started layering. I stuck really close to the sketch this time because it seemed like it was perfect for these pictures. I used a Heidi Swapp, gold, glitter sticker for the title and some gold color shine as well.

Well thanks so much for stopping by my blog today to take a peek and I hope that you come back. You should head over the the Lets get sketchy blog and play along to!! There are always monthly prizes and great inspiration!!

Full of happiness today! / Hip Kit CT

Good morning everyone!!

 I am here to share a layout with you that I made for the Hip Kit club Creative Team using the amazing Hip Kit Clubs October kits! I used a sketch for the inspiration of this layout, Ashley Horton created the sketch and the cut file you see on my layout. 

When I saw the sketch I knew that I wanted to do a sewn circle, because one its on the sketch and I loved it and two because I love sewing on my layouts :) Well to do everything else on my layout I had to first choose a starting point, my starting point was the background and I chose this lovely Amy Tangerine paper from her finders keepers line. As I've said before, Im a fan of patterns, polka dots, stripes, florals, plaids....lol pretty much anything thats got a pretty pattern!

After I used the cut file, I added a a strip of the American crafts Fountain cardstock from the cardstock kit. I love the combo of the orangey/coral color mixed with the aqua/teal color.  I had pulled some of my fall pictures and decided I wanted to scrap these photos from our 1st "camping trip" last summer. All the kids were phsyced to do this, but I wanted to do a dry run and see how it was going to be since we had a one year old that had never been, so we grabbed all of our camping stuff and camped in the back yard, lol. It ended up being a really great night! All of the kids had a blast, including the youngest.

Here is the sketch created by Ashley Horton

If youd like to play along with us, please feel free to! You can go join the Hip Kit club facebook page and see the weekly challenges.

Now to embellish this layout I grabbed a bunch of the Pink Paislee, Cedar Lane embellishment in these kits! I grabbed some from the embellishment kit, Project life kit and the the Main kit

The Pink Paislee ephemera pack is beautiful with all of the cardstock pieces along with the acetate and gold foil pieces! ooohh! Love! And all the pretties went great with my layout! I tucked different pieces under the edges of my photos and around my title. And I cant get enough of those cute puffy stickers, I became a BIG fan of those fast! And I'm really happy that the shaped paper clips are back! All of these different things make great embellishment and make the pages pop!

Well thanks so much for coming by and checking out my layout and I hope that you head over to the Hip Kit Clubs facebook group and participate in the fun weekly challenges.
