Locker Room: You are dearly missed, Australia!

Hello! Cassandra here and hope your week has been great! I am back to share another layout with the September Capture kit! Love every bit of it!:D

To create this layout, I first chose a patterned paper as the background paper then layered it with a 11.5"x11.5" white card stock. Then I splattered red ink from Maya Road randomly around the card stock.

Next, I added a few vellum hearts from the Cocoa Vanilla Hello Lovely die cuts pack so that it won't appear too plain!

Then the rest would be layering it bit by bit. I like to first arrange everything so that I can get an overview of my end product and snap a photo so I know roughly where to put them. Though tedious, this has proven to help me make all my layouts more cohesive.

Geek Lab: Being Me.

Good day to all! I have heard from quite a few of my friends recently asking me what's the best way to add text into my photos or edit them, so I thought I would share some tips! Basically, I am almost a computer/IT idiot that's why Photoshop is too difficult for me (though I know everything can be done through it). I, however, edit almost all my photos through PicMonkey because it's FREE!

Here's how: Click on the link and it will direct you to the page as shown below.

Then, open a file and upload it. You may crop it to Instagram square sizes (though we finally no longer need to) or any dimension you want. I like to play around with the exposure to add brightness to the photo, sharpen it a little and even adjust the temperature of the photo (warm or colder).

Then to add text to your photo, simply click on add text. The best part is that even your own collection of fonts may be found under the "Yours" section. Do note that those with a crown sign beside it requires extra charges.

 After playing around with the text, here's how it looks like:

Then click save. I like to save the photo quality as sean but if you are concern about the photo sizes, then there are 3 options to choose from.

Then finally, have it printed out and here's my layout with the hello lovely collection!:D

Yearbook: Melbourne - Sydney 2015

Hello all! Thanks for dropping by Clique Kits! Here's sharing a Project Life spread I did with WRMK plastic folder. Love their square format and what's even more amazing is that in the September Capture kit, it has a variety of square format patterned cards as the ones shown below! 

Using Cocoa Vanilla's Hello Lovely collection, I first cut a few pieces of patterned papers into 9 squares of 4" and place them randomly over the squares to add colors and variety to the spread. Love how it looks and had lots of fun documenting my Australia trip!

Hope you like them as much as I have enjoyed creating them!

Locker Room: Great Ocean Road Trip

Heyyie good day to all!:D I am up on Clique Kits blog today to share a layout I created using the September's Capture Kit! I absolutely love this hello lovely collection from Cocoa Vanilla! The colors and patterns are bright, cute and fun to play with:) 

Here's sharing a few tips on how I create this layout:

I like using patterned papers as the border and a white card stock in the middle so it won't appear so clustered and draws attention to the middle. In choosing which patterned paper as the base, I like to first decide on the photos I am using. A tip that won't go wrong is to use colors that match the colors in your photos. For instance, the 3 photos I have are mostly in shades of green and blue. Comparing the first and second layout, the blue in the second layout feels more cohesive compared to the first. 

Secondly, since it's a beach sort of theme, I chose a brown patterned paper to match my layout and split it into halves at 6" and did sort of a arrow pattern so the attention will be drawn to the middle photos.

Then the rest would be adding details and foam dots for more dimension.
