And So It Begins

Hello there! 

Today I'm sharing a layout I made with the June Scraptastic Club kit and add on, The Best Day of My Life.

I went ahead and pulled out papers and embellishments from the kits that went along with my photo. 

I decided to cut out a bunch of little strips and this is what I got!

I love how all the colors go together but this is a great way to add a lot of pattern without making the page look so busy. Not to mention it's always a great way to use up scraps you might have laying around!

I stitched on each strip along with a row of wood grain sequins that came in an older kit. I stamped the date at the bottom using the Prima ink you receive as an extra goody!

I used a sticker for my title and took one of the paper bows off the clothes pin. I also added a couple of embellishments to the paper strips and the number 26 for my age. Even though this isn't a Birthday layout I took the photo on my Birthday and I captured that using the glitter stickers and stamping the date :)

Scraptastic July Sneaks!

Seriously....time is totally flying by!

And it's that time for some July sneaks of some totally awesome kits!

Here is a peek at the July This Life Noted kit!

Loving the wood veneer in this one! 

Here is a peek for the Either Way kits!

It was really hard to not go with this kit for July, it's totally my style and color scheme and I've been obsessed with arrows for who knows how long.... But I wanted to challenge myself and go with this next one..

Here is a peek at the Summer Nights kits!

I normally don't go for the really bright colors but I seriously love this kit! The wood grain with the rainbow elements is pretty darn awesome and I can not wait to get my hands on these kits!!

Which one is your favorite?

Hello Let's Chat

Hi everyone! Sharing a quick post today with another cute card using the May Scraptastic Club kits!

I seriously love all the little bits that were included in the May kits!
And here it is!

Here is a good example of making the best out of your mistakes when it comes to crafting. The white Hello diecut ended up ripping off the speech bubble card I have in the background so I went ahead and just cut the other side off and I started the card from there. I thought it would be fun to but the Hello on some pop dots and layer behind it. I added some more diecuts and enamel dots to make a quick yet cute card!

When you make mistakes while crafting do you start all over again or work with the mistake to make it look like nothing happened? :)

Every Picture Records A Little Story

Helllo there!

I have a simple layout to share using a die cut as my title and main embellment!

When I got the email for the May Scraptastic Club kits I already fell in love with this die cut!!

Take a look!

Love love love!!

Since I am still obsessed with using a white background for my page, I needed to add something to make my title pop. I took the Heidi Swapp Color Shine in the color Bronzer and sprayed twice fairly close to the page. I love how the gold shine stayed in the center and the brown mist came out evenly!

I added a wood veneer heart from an older kit under the title, put some patterned paper behind my photo, a tag and layered on some die cuts from the kits. Above my photo I added a little heart die cut I had in my stash!

Hope this inspires you to use a die cut for a title!!

Happy Scrapping!

xoxo
