Good Vibes LO | Clique Kits DT

Good morning everyone!! Today is kind of bitter sweet. I am sharing my last layout for Clique kits today. I've been part of the Clique kits family for over 3 years now and I am going to miss it! The online shop will stay open through August and there are great sales going on, when the store opens back up. Gia is away for a little bit and the store will be back open, with the great sales before to long. Ok, well now onto my last layout.....

I started this layout with white cardstock and the Summer Groove kit. I also pulled a sketch from 30 Days of sketches with Christy's Beautiful life. Here the sketch I played with.

I wasnr sure what I was going to do with the background at first, so I decided to play with the photos I picked and adding a few photo mats to them and getting them positioned how I wanted them.

I went through the kit and pulled different embellishments that I thought I might want to use on this layout and put them to the side. I went through my stash of clique kits stuff and found this piece of cardstock.Its an old Bazzil, Blossom. I decided to cut it into strips and use it as my background and for the strips in the sketch.

I added them to my background, ran them threw my sewing machine and ruffed up the sides and decided to start placing my photos and adding embellishments.

I tucked flowers here and there behind my pictures, I popped one of the pictures in the lower right corner up on 3D foam, to add some dimension. This was really a quick and easy layout. In the end I decided to pull another paper from the kit and fussy cut that bottom scallop at the bottm, I added some Heidi Swapp color shine in gold from my stash and called this layout good. I hope you liked this layout and I hope you continue to follow along, even though I will no longer be posting for Clique Kits. I have more scrappy fun coming and make sure to check out my Facebook group, TikTok, youtube and Instagram for more insperation!

Today's Stories layout | Clique Kits DT

Good morning everyone! I took a break for a bit and didnt make any blog posts, but I thought I would go ahead and start up agian. Why now? I have no idea, especilly since we have been having such bad weather and there is more to come tonight abd I am not looking foeward to it at all. But my scrapping makes me happy and helps keep me distracted from the weather a bit. But I'm here today to share a layout I made with the Limited Edition Level Up kit. I really like this kit and I already have another layout to share, but that will come later. I like this kit so much becuase you can make complelty different looking layouts with the one kit. This layout, I used mostley the papers in the kit from Asuko Studios.

I liked thecolors and I wanted to go outside the gamer papers. I started this layout with my picuter and then pulled on eofthe papers, the one that looks like it has sun rays on it. I cut it in half and adheared it to the top of my page. I wanted more to it though. I thought it looked to plain, so I pulled a few other papers and cut some strips form a few differnt papers.

I have this thing, I like to add some texture I guess you can say, really I like to distress the edges of my papers. So, of course I did that to this layout too.

I knew I wanted my photo of my son on the lower left side of my layout, becuase of the way he's looking in the picture. So I decided to start adding some papers behind the photo and pop them up on some adhesive foam. I placed that down and started pulling all kinds of embellishments out from the kit. But first I had to add my black splatters on my layout.

Once I took a little snack break while my splatters were drying, I decided it was time to go a head and start adding my embellishments. In the kit there is a pack of Pinkfresh studio cardstock stickers and puffy stickers and thats where my embellishments came from. I started tucking lables and little pennents and puffy stickers here and there along the strips of paper I had placed down. I popped a puffy sticker up at the top of my photo. Today's Stories, I placed that for my title.

I grabbed my type writer and tryped up my journaling, cut it into strips and added ti to my layout and called this one done. I hope you liked this layout. Have you seen all the new goodies in the Cliqu kits shop?? I mean if you havent, you need to go check out the shop, so much goodness in there right now! The kit I used for this layout is there, along with an add on to go with it.

Good Cheer Layout | Clique kits DT

Hello everyone!! I wanted to pop on here this morning and share a new layout I made using the beautiful Miracle on 34th street kit. This kit is just so pretty and has so many bits and pieces to it! I picked out my photos of me and one of my girls, printed them in a photo strip and then cut it apart because I decided I wanted to do something different.

I have some garland around the house and I liked the look of it being draped around, so I thought I would kind of treat my photos the same way. And of course, add a bunch of pretty pieces. I lightly drew a curved line on my white cardstock, laid my photos out and then started digging through my kit.

I pulled a bunch of ephemera out, fussy cut some things out and then ran some paper through my sizzix and then started to play with where I wanted things. When I finally decided where I wanted things, I tacked them down lightly with my tape runner. Then I dug back in to all the things I had pulled out, to see if there was more that I wanted to add. And of course there was.

I pulled out the stickers from the kit and decided I wanted to add a frame to one of my photos. At this point I decided to run my layout through my sewing machine. Making sure everything I already put down was secure and then I moved on to the things I had die cut. I tucked some of the longer branches under some of my photos and then added some of my holly leaves along the line I had sewn. I pulled out the self adhesive brads and added some of them here and there. And then moved on to my title.

I pulled out some of the stickers, words and that cute banner piece. I fussy cut a few word strips from one of the papers and added it too. Tucking a few of the holly leaves to one side and adding one of the longer foliage to the other side. I didn't like that my layout had nothing at the top of bottom, so I decided to cut a strip from one of my papers and use my fringe scissors on it and add it to the top of my layout. I wanted a little something more, so I went and dug through my stash and found some of my sequins from past Clique kits and sprinkled them around my layout. And that finished this layout for me. I hope you enjoyed this layout!

Lovely Layout | Clique Kits DT

Good morning everyone, how was your weekend? Well it's been rainy here so, I got a little more time to scrapbook. I had a little that needed a little dental work, but we ended up having fun. I pulled my Limited Edition Heritage Poland & Ukraine Wonderful Wycinanki kit out and thought it would work great. I printed my photos, then decided to cut them out of the strip I started with and split them up a bit. I went through the kit and started pulling embellishment and of course some of the beautiful rub ons that came in the kit.

I knew I didn't want a bunch of paper on this layout. I decided that I wanted to play with some mixed media. I pulled some distressed oxides that I had gotten from the shop and started squishing them on a piece of plastic and adding it to my background. Once I had that done, I started to play with my pictures and where I wanted them. I decided the way I wanted to seperate them and then started to play with the things I had already pulled form the kit.

I started sliding pieces that I had pulled from the kit under my photos and then decided that I wanted more color. I really wanted to add a pop of that bright yellow in. So I grabbed a few pieces of paper and cut some strips and squares and started tucking them behind my photos. I added a few to the two pictures I decided to keep together and then decided to mat the other one as well. I just played with it as I went along making the layout.

Once I had the papers where I wanted, I played a little more with the things I had already pulled from the kit. I cut some of the rub-ons in half, I wanted to make them go a bit further. I added in more of the ephemera and the sticker I chose for my title. I just chose the one work, Lovely, because she was just a lovely little goof this day. It worked perfectly lol. She had no teeth problems at all, she was in for a cleaning, but had a really loose tooth and asked the dentist to pulled it so he did lol. I wanted a little more in there so I ran some vellum through my sizzix, got some leafs cut out and added them. Added in my journaling about the day and called this layout good. I hope you liked this layout and make sure to head over to the shop and check out all the beautiful kits that are there for the picking!

Oh Happy Day | Clique kits International DT

Good morning everyone! Well I don't know about where you are in the world, but our fall has been interesting. I was wondering if I was going to get any fally pictures and that still remains to be seen. Now, we have had freezing weather and then back to warm but we will see lol. I took my girls out for a day of fun on ne of out "Fall" days and we had a blast. Fed ducks, ate lunch at a park and went and checked out a cool old mill and that's where these photos are from.

I love the kit that I chose to use for this layout. It's the Peaceful Heart, Artist remix kit. The colors in this kit are just so beautiful and I am completely drawn to right now. I have also been in a really weird place in my scrapbooking, where I am not measuring anything when I scrapbook lol. With this layout, I started with little square and rectangle pieces that I had left over from another project I did. I decided to cut those into leaf shapes and use my scoring board and score them so they had some dimension to them.

I had already added a small white mat to my photos and stuck them together how I wanted them, so once I had the leafs done, I started sliding them under my photos. I realized, yep I'm going to have to add some dimensional adhesive to make it all sit right lol. So, I did that and then decided to add in the wood grain tag and pop the piece that would have been hidden behind the photos, to the bottom left of my photos.

After getting the photo cluster all put together, I grabbed a few of the paper strips I had cut randomly and chose the ones I wanted to use on my layout. I had already placed my photo cluster in the center of my layout, so I decided to add the paper strips on the left and right of the layout.

I added my journaling behind my photos, so that's not visible too yall, but to finish off my layout, I went through my ephemera form the kit and pulled a few butterflies and a cute little bee. Along with one of the cut apart papers, I cut out my Oh happy day and used it for my title. I fussy cut a few leafs out from one of the papers in the kit and tucked them here and there as well and then call this layout done. I Hope you liked this layout and I make sure to head over to the Clique Kits shop and check out all the pretties there!!

Halloween Layout | Clique Kits International DT

OK, I know. Thanksgiving just happened and I'm still sharing halloween layouts lol. But I don't think I ever scrapbook in order of season or holiday lol. Are there others out there like me? lol I used the Happy halloween seasonal kit for this layout and I love this kit! It's chalk full of Fancy Pants pretties!

I really started this layout with the arrangement of my pictures. I decided I wanted to print them out in a photo strip, then backed them with a thing white mat. I love dots, so I grabbed the orange dotted paper and cut a thick strip for the top of my layout and thinner one of the bottom of my layout. This gave me somewhere to base my photos and have a jumping off point.

I pulled bits and pieces of paper from my kit and started cutting strips of different sizes to add behind my photos. I really didn't measure anything, just cut them and slid them behind my pictures to see how it would work and I liked it so I kept them. I had also pulled out some of the ephemera, chose a few tabs and tags and slid them in there with the paper layers too.

I had more ephemera that I could embellish with, but I decided to fussy cut some of the little skulls out and then run some of the papers through my sizzix and make some layered flowers. I had fun playing with that lol. I had so many options for layering them. Once I got the flowers layered like I wanted, I moved on to placing them around my layout. I started with the left side of my photostrip andthen decided to add somemore up to the top right of my photo strip too.

I liked the way it was coming together, but I thought it still needed a little something at the bottom right, but I also wanted to make sure there was room for my journaling. So, I went through my papers and grabbed this cute huge cat, with the little kids riding on its back and decided to fussy cut it out and use it as an embellishment. I had more flowers left but when I was playing with them and the cat, it seemed like a little too much and went into the area that I wanted to use for journaling.

I went ahead and added my journaling that I had already printed out and called this layout done. I hope you liked this and I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!

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!!
