For anyone who does follow me here make sure you come join me over at my FB page Nerd Girl in the Craft World too, since I do post waaaay more often there. Anyway I did want to do a bit of a project update since in the end that's why people would come to see my blog! <br />
<br />
In this post I decided that I would showcase some of my favorite recent layouts! I have been making layouts like crazy and I have really been loving some of the ones I've shared since 2017 started! So here you go, and thanks so much for stopping by!<br />

The Scrapbook Circle kit for March was loaded with bright colours and
funky designs. I really wanted to showcase all of those fun papers and
colours so I chose the dreamcatcher background 1. There were lots of
awesome spaces to back with papers! I used a small star stamp to create
a fun pattern around where my cut file would rest and then popped my
file up on some foam for added dimension. Since all the products
worked so perfectly together embellishing was a piece of cake! A big
thank you to Nicole and Scrapbook Circle for this awesome team up!<br />

We had fun being inspired by post office and stationary supplies as well as by Valentines Day and all things lovey dovey. Well even though I don't do too much for Valentines Day I can't help but love all the scrapbooking products for it so when my daughter and husband decided to play around with some SnapChat filters I knew I had an awesome picture to scrap and to go super pink on! I went all out with lots of patterns and bright pinks and blues to make a layout as fun as my picture! Thanks so much for taking a look and don't forget to check out the <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.ca/2017/02/new-issue-lets-play-post-office-round-2.html" target="_blank">blog</a> to see what some of the other amazing DT members came up with! When you're there if you decide you want to get some of the new beautiful goodies that are in the store right now make sure you use the code CATMARTIN20 to get %20 off!<br />

This month the mood board is focused on all things sweet and lovely :) I just love all the hearts in this mood board, it definitely makes me wanna grab some cute pictures and make a sweetie layout. I was very inspired by the rainbow heart. The soft colours are exactly the kind of rainbow that I like! I found this sweet picture of my daughter when she was little in a cute wide brimmed hat and couldn't help but want to scrap this summery pic, even though it's 20 below right now!<br />

So it's round 2 of our January Stash Buster series over at <a href="https://www.paperissues.com/" target="_blank">Paper Issues</a>! This time we were challenged to dig deep into our stash and use up some of those products that maybe we had forgotten about, or had been hoarding!<br />
So for myself, I have a tendency to buy lots of beautiful products with full intention of using them and then they just kind of sit there, mostly because something newer comes along and I always tend to gravitate towards my newer stuff. I decided to grab lots of products from the Maggie Holmes Shine Collection, which is definitely a few collections old, but I still love the vibrant bright fun bold colours and patterns of this collection! I even used up a little bit of the Open Book collection, which is definitely on the older side! The glittery accents of the Shine collection fit in perfectly with a layout about my husband and I on New Years Eve 2016. I even broke out my fringe scissors for some extra texture and visual interest! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look and be sure to check out the Paper Issues <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.ca/2017/01/new-issue-stash-busters-round-2.html" target="_blank">blog </a>and Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PaperIssues/" target="_blank">page</a> to see what some of the other DT members have been up to!<br />

So first things first, I had day surgery on Thursday, and I'm still recovering, and am in a bit of pain, but that hasn't stopped me from creating! I have been loving that being on the <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Paper Issues</a> Design Team means that I get to participate in as many of the challenges as I want, and so far I have wanted to participate in all of them!<br />
Since I love using cut files I knew I had to participate in this challenge. I already new exactly what photo I wanted to scrap, and after tweaking it a bit to get the colours just right I got to work. I wanted to keep my layout bright, and funky, with lots going on, and I decided, on a whim, to delve into mixed media. Now mixed media is not my forte, I am no expert in it, and the few times that I have attempted to do the "packaging technique" I have failed miserably, but this time I love how it turned out! Since I was using a big title I kept my other embellishments to a minimum and just let the pic and the title shine through! I love the carefree silliness of this layout and as usually I used a mish mash of lines, including Crate Paper Cute Girl, Amy Tangerine Oh Happy Life, and Paige Evans Take Me Away! Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the Paper Issue <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.com/20%E2%80%A6/%E2%80%A6/cut-it-up-january.html" target="_blank">blog</a> for even more awesome inspiration!<br />

So I'm back into the full swing of creating for the various teams that I'm on in 2017, and I absolutely love that I still get to work with Nicole Nowosad's amazing cut files over at the <a href="http://www.justnick.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">JustNick </a>shop! For my layout this time I grabbed her sweet hot air balloon cut file called Up In The Air. There are six different hot air balloons all with different patterns that are great for backing with patterned paper! I decided to choose 3 that I thought had a similar style and I resized them to 3 different sizes to create a depth of field for my layout. I backed them all with vellum first, and then with various patterned papers from my stash. I scrapped 2 square black and white photos of my littlest one Rhys and used quite a bit of ephemera and chipboard from the older Little You collection from Crate Paper! Thanks so much for taking a peek!<br />

I am loving my time on the team already and can't wait to make tons more layouts! In the meantime though here is one I created for the Working Title Challenge. This is a great challenge for me because I love the chance to mix and match alphas or use a cut file to create a large title. This time around I decided to go with using a few word chipboard embellishments instead of individual letter stickers.<br />
I decided to get a little deep and create this layout, not only about going out on a date night with my husband, but what doing something like that meant for me. I wanted to focus on how doing this made me happy, but that not every day is a happy day for me, and that's okay, but it's also important to take a moment to enjoy those days that do make me happy. Since I had no actual pictures from our date night I went with one that I had taken as I was getting ready to leave. I had gone out of my way to do my hair and makeup and I wanted to take a picture to remind myself that I am beautiful. I used a black background to help everything stand out, and I fussy cut out large florals from the Paige Evans Take Me Away collection. I absolutely love how this layout turned out!<br />

It's been quite a year for me, as I'm sure it has been for you too! It was a year of extreme highs and crushing lows. It was a year where started a great many journeys, where I went from barely even stepping foot inside my craft room to being on some fantastic design teams and starting my own YouTube channel. It's also been a year when my depression reared it's ugly head and I am still working on managing it as best I can, in whatever therapeutic ways I could find, as well as realizing when it was time to reach out for help. I decided this year to try and be happier with myself and happier with what my life is offering right now. As always it's a work in progress, but by being vocal about it I feel I've gained so many kindred spirits!<br />
<br />
So in wrapping up this year and moving forward to the next I have created my favorite 16 of 2016. Below I'm showcasing 16 of my personal favorite layouts that I've created over the year. Some of them are from design teams and some are ones that I created just for myself, but they are all ones that I am especially proud of!<br />

Well I'm back, but not with another layout or process video, but with a special gift for all of you. So before I was scrapbooker I was an designer and illustrator. After a while I stopped drawing and creating, and moved on to other hobbies. It's been at least 2 years since I actively sketched or worked on a piece, but just recently I have had the motivation to create again, so I started with a cute printable! Since it's so snowy where I am right now I created a cute snow kitten. She is in 5x7 format, but can be scaled down to 3x4 to make a cute Project Life card. Click on the picture to download her!<br />

I'm back again, and yes, I'm still suffering from a creativity rut. I don't know what it is but I just can't seem to get out of this funk that I'm in, and I really want to be creative, but every time I sit down I draw a blank. Even though I can't seem to get out of my rut I still wanted to make a new video since it's been a little while. I decided to try something new for myself, and I gave myself a challenge. I went with a black and white theme, something I wouldn't normally be drawn to, since I just love working with lots of colour, but having a set idea in mind and knowing what I wanted to use helped in deciding on papers and embellishments. Instead of taking forever to scour though all my papers I went immediately to the papers I knew would fit. It also helped that the Cool Kid collection from Crate Paper had a ton of black and white embellishments for me to use. I am really happy with the funky sketchy look of the layout, it has a very loose feel to it, and though I didn't do a ton of layering or embellishing it definitely pops!<br />

I only have one or two more of these layouts left as I am not continuing on as part of the Design team after September. I was initially saddened by the news that I would not be staying on, and of course hearing news like that while also suffering from mental illness is never helpful, but I decided my best bet was to focus on the positive aspects. I'm looking forward to getting back to doing some more of my own videos and starting a few new series as well! Meanwhile though I am still enjoying my <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/august-2016-main-kit" target="_blank">August kits</a> while I wait patiently (okay IMpatiently) for my <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/september-2016-main-kit" target="_blank">September kits</a> to arrive! <br />
For this layout I decided to focus on some of the ephemera I had left in abundance, particularly the Crate Paper Cute Girl puffy stickers and the Pink Paislee Paige Evans Take Me Away wood veneers. I punched out some of those cute circles from the Dear Lizzy Saturday paper that came in the kit to create a fun cascade! This is a simple sweet layout that really kept the focus on the photo. I used the September sketch (picture below) and the September mood board (picture below) to help me out with my design concept! Also, I didn't actually make a process video for this layout, unfortunately, but hopefully I'll be back in the swing of it soon!<br />

I had a picture of my daughters cute donut shoes, and there are a ton of donuts in the <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/august-2016-main-kit" target="_blank">August Hip Kits</a>. 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 <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/" target="_blank">Hip Kits</a>!<br />

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 <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/august-2016-main-kit" target="_blank">August Hip Kits</a> 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!<br />

It's almost the weekend, so I'm sharing the layout that I made for <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/" target="_blank">Hip Kit Club</a> at the beginning of the week. This layout is the last one I'll be making with the <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/july-2016-main-kit" target="_blank">July Kits</a> because my <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/august-2016-main-kit" target="_blank">August Kits</a> 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!<br />
<br />
So here is the sketch and board that I worked with this week:<br />

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 <a href="http://justnick.myshopify.com/collections/all/rainbow" target="_blank">No Rain No Rainbows</a> and for my background I used the <a href="http://justnick.myshopify.com/collections/all/confetti" target="_blank">Confetti</a> 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!!!<br />

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!<br />
<br />
Well, lets get into it then! Here is my layout for this week for <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/" target="_blank">Hip Kit Club</a>. I am using the <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/july-2016-main-kit" target="_blank">July Hip Kits</a> again for this one, and I still have so much left! I know my <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/august-2016-main-kit" target="_blank">August kits</a> are on the way buy I really want to get the most out of this kit first :) For this layout I dug into my <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/july-2016-color-kit" target="_blank">Color Kit</a> 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!<br />

I am using the<a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/july-2016-main-kit" target="_blank"> July Kits</a> 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 <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/july-2016-project-life-kit" target="_blank">Project Life Kit</a> 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 <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/july-2016-embellishment-kit" target="_blank">Embellishment Kit</a>. 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!<br />

We were given a sketch to use and a fantastic cut file from the <a href="http://justnick.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">JustNick</a> Studio shop! For my layout I backed my cut file with lots of spring inspired colors and used lots of chipboard and ephemera from the Shimelle Starshine collection to really bring out the sweet pictures of my son.<br />

I am a busy busy girl, but I did manage to squeeze out another layout for<a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/" target="_blank"> Hip Kit Club</a>! This time I was focusing on tags, which I will admit, I have never made before. I am a tag noob so to speak :) Well, here's the scoop, if you're looking for a great way to use up odds and ends in your stash or left over from a kit this is a great way to get it done! Added bonus : Now you have a stash of tags to whip out when gift giving!<br />
<br />
So here are the four tags that I created using my <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/june-2016-main-kit" target="_blank">June Hip Kit</a>, <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/june-2016-embellishment-kit" target="_blank">embellishment kit</a> and <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/june-2016-project-life-kit" target="_blank">project life kit</a>.<br />

So from there I decided to use them the only way I would know how . . . I made a layout with them! I positioned them in a kind of staggered grid formation with my photo. I did some quick simple layering under my photo as well. I fussy cut out some flowers from the Simple Stories Sunshine and Happiness paper that is just gorgeous! All in all this is a busy layout with lots going on and lots to look at but I wouldn't have it any other way!<br />

I'm popping by to show the layout I created earlier this week using the June <a href="http://www.hipkitclub.net/" target="_blank">Hip Kits</a>! For this layout I decided to channel the sun in the hopes that it might show it's face around here! I decided to create a sunburst using the Simple Stories Sunshine and Happiness paper as well as some Fancy Free from Pink Paislee. I added some bakers twine from my stash and then topped it all off with some enamel dots and brads both from Happiness and Sunshine. This is such a simple and fun layout to replicate and a great way to use up odds and ends!<br />
