Loved / 12x12 LO Stash Scrapping

Hello everyone! 

Today I thought I'd share a layout with you that I created a while back. I'm just now getting the bloom collection, yes I know, so late to the game here!! lol But I still love it and all the pretty little pieces!

If you follow me on instagram, facebook or here on my blog, you might know I recently had a baby. I didn't think I would share some of the layouts that I created because they were quite personal. But having a baby is personal and not always completely...covered I guess, lol so some I wont scrap/share lol, but I thought this one was ok to share and I love this picture! One of my favorites from that day.

The day I had her was so CRAZY, I was actually at the hospital 2 times that day and finally had her. My mom got to be there and thats who you see in the picture with me, so I have three lovely generations here. It was amazing.

Ok so back to the layout, lol. I started with a cut-file with this layout. I dont usually do that, I usually have papers or a collection or a group of things in mind but I found this cute little deer and it had little hearts on it. I know I wanted to scrap this picture and that deer was to precious so in my mind it was perfect. 

I pulled out my bloom collection and backed my little dear, placed it on a white background and started my layering behind my photo, adding a gorgeous doily from Pretty little studio. I did a little fussy cutting for those flowers, they were begging to be fussy cut! 

I wasnt happy with the layout on just the white background, I wanted more color but for it to be kept simple still so I trimmed it down and put the pink and white plaid behind it and was happy with the pop of color and drawing more of the pink out. I added few of the chipboard pieces and pulled out my gold glittered word thickers and finished it off with a little bit of gold color shine.

I'm not big on journanling on my layout. One, I don't like my handwriting really and two, I don't always like to share what I'm writing. So a lot of the time I'll write on the back of the layout, then I'm not so ify about my handwriting messing up the layout, thats how I see it sometimes, or I don't journal at all. Do some of yall feel this way or do this too?

I love this month kits, they are amazing!!! You can go soft and light like I did here or you can go bold and bright, which I did on another layout that I'll share later. I made this layout in honor of Friendship week, so heres me and my goofy best friend! lol

I used +AmericanCrafts  white cardstock and the White vellum from the Cardstock kit,  I used the white for the base and my vellum behind my photos, then I grabbed that beautiful Maggie Holmes, Bloom, Flutter paper from the main kit and this was really the only patterned paper I used on this layout,lol.

I fussy cut quite a few of the pretty little butterflies out, I knew when I saw it the 1st time I was going to do that lol, they're just to pretty! I grabber that Heidi Swapp frame from the Embellishment kit because the light pink matched well with the butterflies. It also gave me a good way to keep a vertical line going on my layout like I wanted.

Like I was saying in the beginning, I want to journal on my layouts a lot of the time but don't like my handwriting or I don't want to share what I'm writing, well lucky for me I got the Project life kit, with the amazing exclusive project life cards created by DT member Kim Watson. So I decided to get a little creative with the project life cards, keep the vertical line going and cover my journaling in a pretty way. Not only that but I also got to play with another pretty card Kim made, but I cut the butterfly out, did my journaling and layered it with a few of the butterflies I had cut out. 

I know I shared my journaling here a bit but this is a great way to have your journaling on your page but keep it hid and hide it pretty. lol 

Well to finish off my layout I wanted to add some of the other side of the Bloom paper, flutter, the wood grain, love it by the way. I wanted to add a little texture to the page but keep it soft so I cut 1x1 and 1/2 inch squares out and placed them along the side of the layout and then sewed them down and ruffled them up a bit. I added the acetate Pinkfresh Studio word form the Main kit, sewed it too, then added some of the pretty yellow coloringz by Shimmerz, No yolking, from the Color Kit and that was the end of it.

I would love for you to come back and check out my blog again and make sure to head over to Hip Kit Clubs face book page and blog to check out whats going on there!

Hip Kit Club CT Layout/ Ooh Lala

Good morning everyone!! I hope your having a great morning and see so far. We had a bit of a long week last week and going into this past weekend. Our youngest daughter had to have a procedure done and we've been trying to get back to normal since then. Its always hard when one of your little ones is sick though, but shes doing better now so I'm happy.

But in the midst of everything this past week, I did get a chance to sneak in a little scrappy time while she was napping.

The layout I made for this week is about my sister. She moved this past year and its been hard not having her close, but I ran across this pic from a few years ago. its a little yellowed and a bit grainy but I love it. Its so her! I love my big sister! lol 

I dove back into my February kits and grabber my Pink Paislee, C'est La Vie patterned papers and that beautiful gold title. Thats more so what started this layout for me. I love those gold words, there are silver ones too but I thought the gold went so well with the photo. 

I added the fringe heart from Maggie Holmes Bloom collection and some little enamel dots from Simple stories, but that was about it. I wanted to keep this layout pretty simple and just focused on my sister. I dont always journal on my pages and when its a bit more personal like this, I'll journal on the back of my layouts. I didnt show my journaling because it was personal to me, it came out more like a letter to my sister about missing her, so kinda sappy lol. 

But I hope you enjoyed this layout and make sure to head over to the Hip Kit website and check out the Mark kits and grab one before there gone!! Marchs kit has so many pretty exclusives in it, you wont wanna miss it!!
