A weekend with " Bliss - Guest Designer for Clique Kits"

Hellooo


I have been busy crafting up a storm and have managed to create another layout with the Clique Kits Alegria kit this month.. 

I can really struggle with creating a layout with aq patterned paper background but decided to challenge myself with this kit and created this little gem..




" Bliss" layout by Bernii Miller for Clique kits using the Alegria kit.

I really love how it turned out , but realised that I had to keep the embellishments to a minimum as it would become to "busy"  very easily. So this is certainly  a layout more focused on the story..

A weekend with " Scrappy Canary Kit Club DT"

Helloooo..


Well today is a little short and sweet blog post to announce that I am back at my beloved Scrappy Canary kit club ..

It has been almost exactly a year since I stepped away from Manda and the crew and I havce always missed the challenge of working with a kit only. 

 

The Scrappy canary was one of the very first design teams that I have been on , back when it was known as Polly! scrap kits.. So I feel like I am coming back home to my scrappy roots..


Thanks so much Manda for letting me come back "home" and I can't wait to start creating with these gorgeous months kits again..

Till next time

Much love

A weekend with " Celebrate Everyday - Clique Kits guest designer"

Helloooo


Well it is time to share another of my Clique kits layout shares that I made from the January Alegria kit . This time I used the leftover scraps from the 6 x 6 paper pad from the first layout I created with this kit which you can see  HERE .

I also managed to use the cut file that also came exclusively with this kit and it was perfect for this photo of my daughter on her 6th birthday.

I originally wanted to to create a cut file with this Cute Shoppe Heartburst cut file, but for some reason my blade did not cut all the way through.. so instead I decided and punch holes around the uncut edge and stitch in the design..

I love how it turned out in the end but decided it needed needed a little something extra so i added the watercolour around the edges..

A weekend with " Forever Love" DT layout fo Bobunny.

Hellooo


Well today I have a BoBunny layout share with you with a slightly older collection You're Invited which I just adore.  I have made quite a few layouts with this collection already and not one of them have been party themed. I have however put aside a misc me binder and the rest of this collection in hopes of getting around to creating my daughters birthday album. That is another scrappy goal that I would like to accomplish -getting some of my UFO's completed finally!!!

This is just a super simple layout for me and came together in no time. It was just one of those photos that I really wanted to scrapbook and all the embellishments from this collection made it so easy to whip together.

I love the new laser cut chipboard pieces that BoBunny have just released. To help it blend in with the layout I used the gorgeous gold glimmer spray to coat the chipboard.

A weekend with " Cheeky" - scrap my stash.

Helllooooo



Well  this year I have a few scrappy goals that I have penned out and would like to achieve, but one of my main goals this year is to start using up the ever growing stash that I have got going on here in my tiny scrapbooking space.. I am drowning once again in scrap goodies.

So to start off this goal I created this layout with this paper that has been sitting on my desk for months, these gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard pieces, Prima marketing flowers and these amazing hession leaves that I picked up from Scrapify

If you are curious I have added in a list of supplies I have used at the bottom of this blog post.

I love how this layout turned out and even more so as I got to play with so many flowers even on a boy theme layout.. I guess because the flowers are a more neutral colour it all just seems to work.

A weekend with " Splendid " BoBunny DT layout..

Helloooo


Today I have a BoBunny Design Team layout to share with you using the Provence Collection. This is a sweet collection that have gorgeous earthy tones and sweet French provincial kitchen images.. 
But as I scrap I always like to find photos and create layouts with collections that they are not normally what they have been designed for. 

So this is how this layout came about.

That woodgrain paper is just gorgeous !! It is a super basic layout with minimal embellishments which sometimes I just like to do.. I find that my style can tend to change depending on the collection and brand that am working with..it is weird.

A weekend with "Clique kits guest designer"

Heelloooo, 


I am so super excited to share with you today my first guest designer post for Clique Kits using their January Alegira Kit. This kit is choc full of gorgeous Fancypants designs Happy Place collection. 

 So today I actually have two layouts to share with you. The first one was based on the 6 x 6 " Happy Place" paper pad that I grabbed as an add on from the shop. I simply pulled out the papers that I loved and cut them down to 3x3  squares.

Before adding my watercolour to the back ground I made sure that I brushed those areas with clear gesso so that the cardstock would not buckle and bend. It also helps the black fine line pen to adhere and write better over the watercolour which can tend to be a little glossy.

I just had to add in this exclusive flair to the layout somewhere. It is one of the cutest little foxes I have seen about.

Here is my second layout I also managed to make on the same day with the same kit, although this time i used the Putty me Colours cardstock that I also purchased as an add on from the store. You can find it HERE. To prep this page also I used clear gesso in a thin layer as I knew I wanted to create a mixed media background.

I based this layout on the Hero Arts arrow stencil that I used modelling paste with smack bang in the middle of the layout. I wanted this to act as an anchor point / photo mat for the little 2 x 3 photos that I wanted to use. I then went around the stencil with yellow thread and sprayed over some yellow color mist.

Here is  a closer look at how I created that centre stencil.
