Donut Shoes - Hip Kit Club

I mean, what can I say.  I had a picture of my daughters cute donut shoes, and there are a ton of donuts in the August Hip Kits.  How was I not going to do this!  I used a fantastic donut cut file designed by Kim Watson to create my background.  I then used the Crate Paper Cool Kid alphas to create a delicious title!  They were so fun to make and since they were wood already it worked out perfectly!  The new Amy Tangerine collection Oh Happy Life has so many donuts in it too that I had no problem embellishing my layout!  Make sure you take a look at my process video so you can see how I made everything and put it all together using the awesome Hip Kits!

 

Sweet Blues - Hip Kit Club

Hey!!!  I'm ramping up for my little mini kid-free vacay but I wanted to make sure I got this blog post up before I left!  This time I'm playing with the beautiful August Hip Kits and add-ons!  Seriously guys, I didn't even know where to start when I opened them.  I just loved all the colours and embellishments that I was scared of not using one!  Well in the end I decided to create a large paper cluster with multiple papers from the Crate Paper Cute Girl collection as well as some of the papers from the Dear Lizzy Saturday collection (which is one of my favourites right now!).  I love how well the papers coordinated and the exclusive ephemera pack matched spot on!  I also dug into the adorable Cute Girl puffy stickers.  I love how even with everything going on in this layout the picture still remains the focus.  If you wanna get your hands on the kits I believe they are still available in the shop, oh and be sure to check out what's coming for September, you are gonna swoon when you see the colours!

Our Adventure Together - Hip Kit Club

Hey hey hey! It's almost the weekend, so I'm sharing the layout that I made for Hip Kit Club at the beginning of the week.  This layout is the last one I'll be making with the July Kits because my August Kits arrived this week!  For this layout I was working with a sketch and moodboard created by Ashley Horton.  I loved both of them and used them as my jumping off point to get started!

So here is the sketch and board that I worked with this week:

And here is the layout that I created using these as inspiration!

Of course I also created a process video to go with it, so be sure to check it out and see how I made my layout!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have an awesome scrappy day!

No Rain No Rainbows - JustNick Studio

Hey everyone, I'm back showing another layout that I created for JustNick Studio using her amazing cut files!  This time I used 2 cut files for my layout, one for a background and one for a title.  For my title I used the file No Rain No Rainbows and for my background I used the Confetti background.  I used watercolours to create a funky multi-coloured effect on my title, and I backed my confetti file with a multi-colour paper to get the effect of a rainbow of raindrops!  I kept my embellishments simple for this layout since I had such a bold title going on that I didn't feel it needed too much more.  By keeping my photos black and white they don't compete with all the splashes of colour and every piece just compliments each other!  Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to pop over to her shop to check out all of her files and her new releases, and make sure you scroll to the bottom of my blog post to get your code for a freebie!!!

 

 

Here is my process video, hope you enjoy!

Is She A Good Witch? - Hip Kit Club

Hello hello hello I'm back :)  Here we are already headlong into August, and it's crazy!  On Saturday I celebrated my 12 year wedding anniversary with my awesome hubby.  We had a blast together and enjoyed some much needed child-free time together :)  Of course the next day I was right back into the thick of it working on my projects for the next week.  I really wish I could get ahead of my projects, but I guess I'm doomed to be a last minute scrapbooker!

Well, lets get into it then!  Here is my layout for this week for Hip Kit Club.  I am using the July Hip Kits again for this one, and I still have so much left!  I know my August kits are on the way buy I really want to get the most out of this kit first :)  For this layout I dug into my Color Kit and used the lovely Dylusions acrylic paint and the exclusive stencil designed by Kim Watson.  I drew inspiration from the bright colors in the pictures I was using and went with bright greens, orange, pinks, and turquoises.  I also did some simple painting to complete my title!  Thanks so much for stopping by and have an awesome day!

And of course I made a process video to go with my layout, so be sure to check it out too!

Love This Life Together - Hip Kit Club

Hi everyone, I'm back sharing another layout using the amazing  Hip Kits!  I am using the July Kits and am in love with how funky the kits are this month, the doodle inspired ephemera, the bright cheery colours, it all calls to me!  As always I had no clue where to begin as I liked everything, so  I was happy to take on my challenge for the week, which was to "supersize it"!  I decided that I would supersize my title, and I was inspired by all the sheet of exclusive tapes that we received in the Project Life Kit to piece together the word love.  I also used the exclusive heart cut file designed by Ashley Horton to create my "O".  I layered strips of patterned paper along with the tape and created a giant LOVE on my background.  I then added my photo and embellished around it I used lots of the exclusive ephemera and well as the puffy stickers from the Embellishment Kit. I topped it off with some of the awesome Becky Higgins Chipboard pieces too!  I also created another embellishment cluster on the bottom left side of the page to offset the picture at the top right.  This layout came together so quickly and easily and I barely even had to think about what I was doing!  Hope you all like and can't wait to show you what I make next with the kits!

And of course if you'd like to see how I made my layout then check out my process video!!!
