(Items not included in the kit: white background, mister huey's, thickers, date stamp, ink, pink thread)
The arrows on the top and bottom are from a branding strip.. way to cute to not use!!
I just love the grey, yellow and pink together! The "love you more" is from a branding strip also, I love those things! They add a cute little detail to any page!
First I have to say... just look at that Essie collection!! The biggest one I've seen yet that I had to snap a photo of it :) I love these cute wood pieces from Freckled Fawn! They add some dimension to the page without being to bulky.
And another closeup of the layers! You all know I have to add stitching to my pages any way I can ;)
Thanks again for stopping by, and don't forget to check out project the other team members are make on the Little Black Dress Kit Club blog!
Hey everyone! I am excited to share my first page reveal for Little Black Dress Kit Club using the April kit called Don't Worry Be Happy!
I thought about sharing all of my projects in one post buuuut I decided it would be best to spread them out through the month :) hope that's ok with you hehe!
I made two videos using this kit and so I will share one with you today! This layout is titled "24" here is the process video for this page!
About time I made a layout from turning 24!! I will be 25 next month already. Shows that I don't scrapbook in order but I enjoy it more that way! This kit was perfect for a page like this. The bright colorful Glitz products were fun to use for a birthday layout but don't worry, you get more use from this kit other than birthday pages! You can go check out what the other ladies are making with this kit on the LBD site!
Here is a closer look at this layout.

I've never seen these cute cards and pockets packs from Pebbles. And yes, you get a whole pack in this kit! For some reason I tend to look past pebble items but these are adorable! This is why I love scrapbooking kits, they always include items you never come by or would never purchase for yourself and it pushes you to do something new with your pages! Not to mention these fit perfectly in the 4x6 Project Life pockets. Just an idea! ;)
For some reason this kit motivated me to use the heck out of my $1 Recollections heart punch! You will catch on once you see the rest of my projects! I wanted to add a little something to the page and the Glitz polka dot paper was perfect for this! I punched one heart from a row of dots and lined them up in the same order as they were on the paper. So much color in such a little detail!
And last, let's talk about this cute garland! I cut mine apart and used just one second which was perfect to add to the corner of my page. I added pop dots under some of the pieces and let others just lay there flat. I wanted a more natural look with this garland. It's adorable!!
So that wraps up the first reveal! Stay tuned for more projects from this months LBD kit and again, check out the blog on their site for more inspiration with this kit!
And here is the process video. This one was probably the fastest layout I've made so far!
And a closer look ;)
So simple but love it! Those arrowheads and that cute tag were custom made and printed. I'm going a little crazy with making anything cute and printing it out!
Arizona has some pretty great sunsets!! I love seeing everyone post their view on Instagram and Facebook. Crazy how different it looks depending on the area you live in. Allison Waken also used an Arizona sunset photo and that's probably why I fell so in love with her page.
I found this cut file online... and I tried looking again to link you to it but I can't find it! I promise I'll look again and post the link if I get lucky! And that tiny little heart stamp is adorable from Maya Road!
Here is the tag I printed. Looks like stamped images right! And those little puffy stickers from Amy Tangerine are always a great addition when you need a little something to add.
Hello there! I finally filmed again! Seems like forever... 3 weeks is forever when it comes to videos right!?
I was totally thinking of the layout that snapping a photo of the supplies crossed my mind but here is the making process... enjoy!
And a closer look at the final page!
I so can't wait for the warm weather again!!
I haven't used a mask in forever so I was glad that the Studio Calico kit came with one. It took me a while to figure out that to do with this piece and cutting it up worked out pretty good :) I also love the tiny heart stamp I decided to add, and those ombre Thickers!! So lovely!
I finally cut into that grey paper from an older kit and love using it in small pieces!
It also feels like its been forever since I've used rubons, those Amy Tangerine ones are so cute and the sun was perfect for this page! I also love the arrow stamp, it's exclusive to 2Peas and made by Studio Calico and Hero Arts.
Love this camera paper from Amy Tan and that little arrowhead stamp is from the same set listed above.
I have another spread from my vacation album... I need to get this thing done already!!
Again no video so I do apologize!!!
I mainly used my Studio Calico February kit for these pages. I absolutely LOVE the papers that came in this kit, so brights and colorful!!
Here are the pages :)
And a closer look!
*Drool* Love how this one turned out!! The "hello" is a cameo cut that I purchased before I bought my machine. Glad I finally put it to use!!
This little square started completely different looking but I do love it!
So I wanted to add 5 of these little potty people since there were five, including myself, that went on this trip but I just didn't like the way it looked. I might add a fifth somewhere at some point but for now I'm just sticking with four.
I didn't need the exact date on this spread since it's continued from the previous page but I thought I would put my new 7Gypsies stamps to use and I don't regret it one bit :)
This has to be one of my favorite papers ever but I believe it was exclusive to the kit... sad. I know Studio Calico came out with the same design but different colors that is also awesome and already in my stash!
And can we talk about these wood veneer pieces? If you haven't noticed... I kind of have an arrow obsession and loving that trend! I believe these were also exclusive to the kit which again... so sad because I would totally purchase more! I can already tell these will be a hoarding item for me if I don't force myself to use them up!
I have have a double spread today but no video, sorry!!
Here are some layouts for the Washington album with the divided page protectors! Love these things!
Some close ups :)
The awesome yellow background paper is from the Dear Lizzy 5th and Frolic collection by American Crafts, The pink paper is a cut out from a sheet I received in a Studio Calico kit called Vivid05. The thickers are Rockabye, the blue paper is from an older Echo Park line, some Studio Calico wood veneer of course and My Minds Eye enamel dots!!
Always have to add a date somewhere!
Oh how I love October Afternoon stickers ;) This one was just perfect for this page; from the Fly A Kite line. The arrow was a negative background piece I cut from my Cameo, those little pieces always come in handy! And of course another enamel dot!
I love this little "layout", the stamp (exclusive to a SC kit) was the perfect size for this wood veneer frame!
I didn't have a lot to work with when it came to the pink paper so I cut a small strip from that card to bring a little bit to the second page. The letters are from Prima Marketing, they were an off white color so I used some Mr. Huey's in Opaque White to brighten them up a bit!
And here is the last little "layout". I knew I wanted some pace to journal and I usually like mine hidden so sewing this pocket was simple, just cut down the tag a bit to fit better, added another negative piece and enamel dot and called it done! :)
