My Summer Journal

Traveler's Notebook Spread created for Clique Kits  - MY  SUMMER JOURNAL -

Hi there!

 Today marks my last day as part of the Clique Kits design team.   The past year has been one of the greatest experiences, creative wise.   And i will be forever thankful to Gia, Erica, Lacey and Nicole for having invited me to be part of  the team.  LOVE u ladies!!

Today is pep rally day for the Sundance kit!, which means we get to share with you all what we have been working on with the beautiful Sundance Kit.   Since I got the TN kit this month, I chose to document a picture of one of our car rides.  I started with the idea of creating a hybrid page, so I used Photoshop to create the journal page, by adding one of the ck printables as the letterhead of the page.

Next I typed up the journal lines, and added the sticker from the Wish You Were Here collection at the bottom of the page.   This was then glued to a piece of paper from the Creekside collection that had been trimmed to fit the TN's page.

For the picture, I went bold, and used Photoshop to edit, and add an Ali Edwards Digital Stamp on it.   I made sure to print the page to fit the TN size, and glued it to the notebook,   A little bit of foam adhesive adds a bit of lift to the little ephemera piece on the page.  Here is the completed spread:

I love how simple and bold this page is,  Sometimes all you need is a story, and a bit of editing to complete the page.  Remember to check Clique Kits and  instagram to see what the DT, and subscribers have been creating with this month's  Sundance Kit.

Let me know if you have questions on how this came together.


See you all soon!

Scrapbook Layout created for Clique Kits's Pep Rally   - LOVELY DREAM -

Hello friends, 

It is pep rally day over at Clique Kits!  Which means two things, there will be a lot of inspiration from the DT and subscribers using the beautiful BEE YOU kit, and a new kit will be unveiled.   

For today's project, I chose to play with two of this month's kits exclusive cut files.   I simply welded some of the flowers together, then welded this image to one of the hexagons in the beehive cut file, and cut the image on white card stock.  In addition, I used the pencil attachment to draw the rest of the hexagon shaped around the hexagon.   

The cut out was backed with vellum and then with one of the papers from the kit,  a bit of hand stitching  to the pierce edges completes the look of this layout.

To bring softness to the page, I simply trimmed a bit of the white card stock, and stitched it to the a side of the paper that backs the center hexagon.   The picture of my cousin and my goddaughter (her daughter) was then attached to the bottom corner of the center hexagon.   A few pieces from the kit form the title and frame the picture.

I hid the journal on this page using a small envelope ( taped to the back of the layout),  and wrote all the details on how much  i love these girls even when they are so far from me, and i have to live through video chats and pictures.   To bring attention to the journal card,  I added some of the cork triangles at the top of the page, and glued a small butterfly along with it,  Here is final layout:

It is amazing how  two images can be manipulated to create the background of this layout.  You can find the cut files used for this layout at Clique Kits.   You can find all the digital products at the Clique Digital Store, and since you are there, take some time to check what is available in the shelves  -there is always new stuff being added-.

As always let me know if you have any questions on  how any of  this came together.

Thanks for visiting today!
