Lovely Dream

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.

Hello there!

It seems that I am always left with papers from different kits, so I am trying my best to make space for all the new goodies, by using up as much as i can from all the kits. This time, I am working on killing the BEE YOU kit from  Clique Kits.   This is such a beautiful kit full of American Crafts "Hazelwood" collection.   So let  me show you what i did with this kit.

I was drawn to the bee-hive paper in the kit, so i cut up the hexagons and set them aside.   To create the background, I used a combination of color shine ink to create three color clusters on  the page.   Once the ink dried, I simply hand stitched the hexagons leaving a small space in between each other.  Here are some close ups:

Next using the Just Be You cut file from The Cut Shoppe, I stitched the title at the bottom of the page using white floss ( i did not want the title to stand out in this layout)

The picture of my niece and daughter being silly for the camera is the focal point of this layout, so I transformed it to black and white.  I framed the picture with clusters of pieces from the kit that matched the colors of the hexagons.

I used one of the empty spaces between the hexagons to add my journal lines, and added black ink around the entire project ( too much, i think now!). Here is the final layout:

What can i say, I love the end result of this page.    The colors, the background, and all that stitching are just so my style.   To check all the details on this kit, please visit  Clique Kits to see what is included in the kit, and what they have available in their store.   As always let me know if you have any questions.

Hello!

There are only two more projects to go before the end of my reveal week for Scrapbook Nerd.  This time, i wanted to work with one of my favorite winter collections,  American Crafts's Hazelwood collection by 1Canoe2.

Here is small video on how the page came together:

I hope you enjoyed the video, here is  a quick recap, and close ups of the layout:

The background was created by fussy cutting the large floral paper.  This was attached to a premade circle (out of white card stock) backed with another paper from the collection.

The picture was placed on the opposite side of the floral cuts.  The picture is framed with pieces from the collection add ons.

The title comes from the collection chipboard stickers;  the butterflies in this layout were attached on vellum to add softness to the page.  Here is the final layout:

I love this layout - I am a sucker for large florals-.   You can find all the materials used in this layout in the Scrapbook Nerd Store, plus they are receiving all the new collections, so you want to stop by.

Remember i am a comment away if you have any questions on how this came together.

Scrapbook Layout created for Clique Kits monthly challenge  -  READ -

Hello!

i hope you are all doing well.  Still cannot believe we are headed into the second week of February already.  This means it is time for the monthly challenge over at Clique Kits, (you can find all the details at the Clique Kits blog) using the beautiful BEE YOU kit.

For this layout, my starting point was the large title created using an alphabet from the Silhouette store, and papers from the Bee You kit.   A little bit of hand stitching add texture and secures the letters to an off set cut out of the word.   This title was then mounted on vanilla card stock on a slant in the middle of the page.

Using the tags in the cut-out papers of the kit, as well as the exclusive printables, branding strips, and some embelishments, a cluster was formed at the bottom right corner of the page.  A few drops of ink of coordinated colors also were splattered from the bottom right to the upper left corner of the page.

This project documents my niece, and her love of reading.  So the picture was inserted on between some of the title letters.  A few clusters of ephemera and fussy cut elements frame the picture.   Here is the final layout:

The combination of the large title on color card stock is beautiful, and all the papers and embellishments included in Clique Kits's Bee You kit are just perfect to document all types of occasions.   You are all welcomed to visit the Clique Kits blog to see more details on joining the monthly challenge - there is a prize for a lucky contestant at the end of the challenge -

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

Hello there,

Can you believe we are on February already!

That means a new kit is available at Clique Kits.  This month's BEE YOU kit is packed with the new Hazelwood collection from 1 Canoe 2 for American Crafts.  The gorgeous papers, embelishments, and the Clique Kits exclusives are perfect to document all kinds of memories.

  Since we have had a mild weather the past week, all i have been thinking is   of travel and adventure, so I used one of this month's  Clique Kits exclusives to create a layout about the first day we arrive to my native little town.

I started by cutting the image on one of the papers from the collection, and used some foil to recreate the gold look of the stand of a globe.

adding some vellum behind the image creates a soft shadow that brings out the details of the image

Next I layered some papers behind the picture, and used the branding strips, CK exclusive printables, and ephemera to add interest to the picture.   One of the cut apart papers of the collection had a globe picture with the quote " Adventure Awaits", so I fussy cut the words and used them as a subtitle to this page.

All the butterflies in this kit are one of my favorite parts of the BEE YOU kit.  So i used them to create the idea of butterflies flying around the globe.

The page was trimmed and mounted onto the b side of the paper used to cut the image.   A few ink drops, the date and some journal lines complete the page,  Here is the final layout:

Here is a small video on how the page came together.  Please enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed the quick video!,  As you can see, Clique Kits's BEE YOU kit is so versatile.   You can check all the details included in the kit and more just by clicking here to be directed to the Clique Kits website.

I am always just a comment away, if you have any questions on how this came together.
