Happy Halloween Mini Album | Clique kits DT

Hello everyone!! How are you doing? Been getting any scrapping done? Well I have. I pulled out the Happy Halloween Seasonal kit and decided to make a mini album. I love all the cute Fancy Pants papers!

I grabbed an old mini from my stash, it was an old Maya Roads tag mini. I pulled my Distressed Oxide in Black soot and just drug it over each page. The cover had texture on it so it looked great! The rest of the pages were plain, but I liked the distressed look it gave them. While that was drying a bit, I decided to grab some vellum and the Costume party paper and ran them through my sizzix.I wanted to add some little leaves here and there, but I thought I would add some fun shimmer to it too. I got the TWC Shimmery Goodness from the shop and a paintbrush and added it to those and let them dry.

I started with my cover, grabbing an orange chipboard piece from the li'l davis designs chipboards that came in the kit. I inked it, along with my circle title piece that I had punched out with my circle punch. Popped the chipboard up on some dimensional foam, along with the circle piece and slid a few of the leafy pieces behind it all. I pulled some puffy stars from my stash and a few word sticker sheets from my stash to use through my book too.

As I started on my pages, I grabbed my papers and started to cut rectangles and squares out and sat them aside. I also went through and fussy cut out multiple skulls and flowers so that I could embellish with them as well. By doing this, when I started my pages I could just grab pieces and layer them on my pages and move through my album. Inking all the edges as I went.

Having all these things pre-cut to size for my mini, along with embellishments, it made it all too easy to get this mini done fast. And with kiddos running around, fast is nice! lol I made sure to make little pockets, with tags and places to slide more pictures and journaling into.

I really had a lot of fun making this mini album and this kit is sooooo adorable! I hope you enjoyed this mini! Make sure to go check out all the new stuff in the shop and see all the pretties that are there!And if you make something with this kit or any of the others make sure to share on the Clique kits facebook page. We love to see what you make!

Sunshine Wanted Layout | Clique Kits

Good morning everyone!! I have a 12x12 layout to share using the Wildflower kit. One I love this kit! There are so many pretty papers and all the embellishments!! But for this layout I had to scrap a picture of one of my pups. It was a rainy day and he didn't want to go outside and he just moped around the house. He's so goofy.

He looks so mopey in this picture I kind of wanted to stick with more blues, but decided half way through that I wanted to add some of the yellow for some pops of color. This layout is really simple, but it was so fun to play with. I pulled a stamp, Flowers Always Add on, along with my watering can archival in and stamped on the upper part of my layout. Then I grabbed my Chartreuse stencil butter and watered it down and splattered it around on my layout, trying to keep it more towards the center of my layout so that it would show from behind where I was putting my layers.

I sat my background to the side to dry and started to play with the papers from the kits. I found a 3x4 pocket card that I decided to do my journaling on, so I knew that I wanted the first layer behind my photo to be larger but not to colorful. So I cut a large piece that fit both my picture and journaling card. I popped both of those up on foam adhesive and added them down. Made a mistake there. I hadn't added my stamping, but it worked out.

I pulled out a few of the other 3x4 cards and cut a label out of one to add in my layers, I didn't want to waist the rest of the card and thought the color of it worked great for adding to another layer, so I tucked it in at the top and off to the right side. It was all looking a little light at this point so I grabbed a large tag from the kit and cut it in half and added it to the right and left of my layers. I was liking the way it was looking so far but this was when I decided to add in some of those pops of yellow. I pulled a sheet of paper from the kit and fussy cut out a few strips of the scalloped strips and tucked them in at the bottom of my layers.

At this point I wanted to start adding more of my embellishments, so I dug in and pulled all sorts of pieces to tuck here and layer there. I found that yellow tab and added it onto my journaling card so that it would hide some of the writing that was on it that didn't really work for me, along with a piece if a tag from the kit as well to cover some more. At this point I added my journaling and then decided to pull a stamp from my stash and add a little rain cloud. I popped on my title and that was it for this layout. I hope you enjoyed this layout!!
