Hello Autumn | Clique Kit international | Mood Board challenge

Good morning everyone!! I wanted to share the layout I made for Clique Kits Facebook mood board challenge. I had fun with this one! The kit I used, September Song, and the add on kit from Fall Stories, it had a stencil in it and with the leaves in the mood board and the watercolor look I decided to use it and some distressed oxides from my stash.

So I started out with the stencil, some dazzlerz from shimmerz and some fossilized amber oxide ink from my stash.

Once everything was dry, I started playing with the papers to layer behind my photo. The photo isnt great quality, but I loved the pic of my little miss throwing up a peace sign and smiling lol. I added layers behind my photo, distressed the sides of them and placed them on my layout. I added some 3D adhesive behind my picture to pop it up and give a little more dimension and also to give me places to tuck some embellishments in.

The title was easy, there we those gorgouse American craft fall thickers in the kit. So the title was a no brainer and so easy lol. I pulled some of the florals and leaves from the ephemera pack and tucked those in. I had to use one of the super cute buttons from the kit too so I slid that in behind the beautiful tag I put on there.

At this point the layout was missing something, so I decided to fold down the top left corner and add a bit of color there and a cute floral thicker. Then I moved to the bottom of the layout to add a bit more color. I have issues at t imes creating with yellow, I love it but will have issues with it on a layout in large amounts. As you see with this layout, I was trying to push myself. SO I added a few strips of the yellow to the bottom, tucked a tag and some florals and called it done. I hope you enjoyed this layout and I hope that you decided to jump over to the Clique Kits facebook page and play along too!

Creepin it real 12x12 layout | Clique Kits

Good morning everyone!! Today I'm sharing with you my first layout for the Clique Kits design team! Today I am using the Fall Stories kit. This kit has so much in it, but I decided to challenge myself and pull the one sheet of paper by Simple Stories in the kit that has all the cute little halloween stuff on it and see what I could make from that, adding other pieces in from the kit as well.

I started with a white background, but as you can see, I changed that. Color backgrounds aren’t something that I normally do, but I'm really starting to like it. I cut the Boo Crew 3x4 elements paper apart, did some fussy cutting of those and then started layering behind my photo. I pulled out other papers from the kit that complemented the Boo Crew paper, did a little fussy cutting and pulled a few things from the embellishments and started to tuck things in here and there.

When I put my photo cluster on my background, it looked to plain, so I went through the kit and grabbed the yellow/orange cardstock and tried my cluster on top of it and I liked it. I wanted something else too, so I grabbed a cut file I made and played with it behind my photo. I found where I liked it, but it needed something else. So, I decided to dry brush some black paint where I was going to put the cut file.

I put my cut file back and really liked how it looked, but of course I wanted a little more texture, so I ran it through my sewing machine with black thread. I added a little bit of messy stitching to the left of where my photo cluster was going to go as well.

I watered down some of my black paint and added some splatters across my layout, popped up my photo cluster on some 3D adhesive and placed it down where I wanted it. I tucked in some of the pumpkins I fussy cut, with little messy thread bundles behind them. I pulled some alphas from my stash and added my title and was done. This layout took me about 35 minutes, and I was pretty happy with the outcome. I hope I have inspired you to scrap and make sure you check out the kits over at the Clique Kits Shop, you wont want to miss any of them!
