Scrapbook Layout created for Clique Kits  - RIGHT NOW -

Hello Clique friends!

 Today, I am sharing a new project created with the beautiful "Jellybean" kit, and one of the exclusive cut files included in this month's kit; I think the entire DT is in love with this cut file, not to mention the colors and patterns in the kit!

 

 This project is the happy result of the fusion of scrapbooking and Bible Journaling,  as it was created inspired by the  beautiful cut file, the colors in the kit, but above all Psalm 9:1, "I will give thanks to you , Lord with all my heart;  I will tell of your wonderful deeds" 

   


 To frame the beautiful flowers cut out, I chose to go all artsy,  and use a combination of watercolor, ink, stamps and gelatos to create the background of the page.  Using the packaging technique, some green ink was spread on the page.  A little bit of gelatos was then smeared on the  page using some water and watercolor

  Once all these dry, I used the new Altenew's Daisy layering stamp, that can be found in the Clique Store - to add just a few of the outline  of the leaves.   I have created  a small video on how the page was created, so sit and enjoy!

I hope you like the video!  As you can see, even when i mistakenly  smeared ink on the page, the beautiful flowers (created with the exclusive cut file and Paige Evans' Oh My Heart collection  paper #14  -both included in the Jellybean kit- ) cover a large amount of the background, so the big smeared just becomes a hint of color under the flowers.

 


 I created this page after working on my Bible journal,  and since I had just taken the picture for an updated head shot, i used the page as  a ways to journal about me and what i am thankful for.

    For the title, the beautiful wood piece in the Jellybean kit fit this layout perfectly.  So i simply added a thin layer of gold acrylic paint, and then gold embossed the letters for that added shine in the page  ( i love the end result!).  Here is the final layout:  

  I am happy with the end result of this page (even when the subject of the layout is me!).  The inspiration i found in combining my Bible journey, the Jellybean kit and color soothes my soul.  I hope you like it, too!  If you are not a subscriber, there is still a few a la carte Jellybean kits available, so don't forget to check the store.

 I am always  a comment away if you have a question on how this came together.

 Thanks for stopping by!

My Personal Journal

  Hello there! I hope you are enjoying all the projects that the beautiful April kit, "JELLYBEAN", and that they are inspiring you to use every single piece included in the kit.  The papers, embellishments, and the exclusive printables are so versatile, and perfect to use in all kinds of paper projects.

 I have kept a journal throughout my entire life.  The format has transformed to the years, but once I discovered Traveler's Notebooks a few years back, i have been hooked on them.    I try at best to make at least a daily entry on my journal, it works as my PL format.  This month, I have loved adding bits and pieces from the JELLYBEAN kit to my journal.

    This month's challenge sponsor is Latina Crafter; their stamps are just gorgeous.  I was lucky to receive this beautiful wood veneer stamp, which i used to create the background on one of my TN entries.   Using archival ink, I stamped the image at opposite edges of the TN's page, and a small piece of white card stock.  Once I placed the picture on the opposite page,  I used the stamp card stock to create a small arrow that tied the two pages together.  The PL cards included in the kit, and the exclusive printables are just perfect when documenting in this format.     My next entry is all about my kid's first day of Spring Break ( we survived!!).  For this entry, I  used the small scraps of the Oh My Heart paper #  to cover one side of the page.   The large PL card, included in the Jellybean kit, was then glued across both sides of the TN - I simply cut the card with the paper trimmer, and glued it to the TN-
.  


     



Once again, I used this month's exclusive printables to add interest to the page, and the small letter alphas from Elle's Studio, included in the kit, are just the perfect size for this entry.  I am always trying new ways to journal on my pages; this time, I chose to write along the edge of the page!.

 


 Finally, the last entry i am sharing with you, is just a fitting example of how versatile the kit is,  and how easy is to document in a TN format.   Once again, I picked  the last piece of the Impossible paper -included in the kit-, and covered one side of the TN.  The beautiful ephemera pieces from the Make Your Mark collection  serve as the sentiment and embellishment on the page.


 


 By using the TN on a landscape format, I was left with  a large space to add my journal lines (this entry is all about me, and how happy my DSLR makes me!).  I balanced the page, by adding some of the ephemera pieces, and a sentiment fussy cut from the cut-apart paper from the JELLYBEAN kit. I hope these all serve as inspiration to take a look at Traveler's Notebooks, and how to use the kit when documenting in this format.  TNs are versatile, and work for many different types of memory  keeping/ planner/ art journal.  Clique Kits has just launched a new subscription program all about traveler's notebook, just click here to see all about this new venture. As always i am just a comment away, if you have any questions on how any of these came together.   Thanks for stopping by!

Be Impossible To Forget

Scrapbook Layout created for Clique Kits   -  BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGET -

Hello there,

Today, I am up on the Clique Kits Blog with  a new project using their April kit "JELLYBEAN".   I was inspired by the Impossible paper from Bella Blvd's Make Your Mark collection to create this layout.

The background of this page was created with the Silhouette Store's cut file #65661.  All the empty hearts were backed with the  kit's papers that matched the color palette of the paper.  A bit of dimension was created by using foam adhesive to back the cuts, and create the lovely shadow on the page.

The picture of my daughter, and nephew showing a milestone on their growth was nicely framed with the PL cards included in the Jellybean kit, and clusters created with  the embellishments from the kit.

The fussy cut words from the paper easily formed the title for the page.   After adding the journal lines inside some of the hearts in the background, and a few more small details, the project was finished.  Here is a look at the final layout:

I have created a small video on how this layout came together, just sit down and enjoy!

I hope this serves as inspiration on a fun way to capture and document your kid's milestones.  Don't forget to stop by the Clique Kit site to check the complete kit and what the ladies are always bringing to the store.  Remember I am a comment away if you questions on how this came together.

Thanks for stopping by!
