Let it Snow Layout | Mercy Tiara Kit Club DT

This is my Summer layout | DLS Design DT

Hey everyone! How are you doing this morning? It's actually getting cool here but I'm going to keep doing summer layouts! lol Do you scrap seasonally? Only summer in summer and winter in winter? Well I wanted to share a layout I made for DLS design, I have a process video for it as well and will add that link towards the bottom.

I pulled out some of the stencils, sime of my distress oxides from my stash and went to town on the background. It still suprises me from time to time that it really doesn't take to much time to play with a little mixed media. I added a little water to the edges so that they wouldnt be clena and perfect, well i guess you'll see that in the video lol

But I had fun playing with the stamps ontop of the stencilling, and moved on to cutting and layering papers. Ok I'll stop talking now and you can just watch the video lol. Hope you enjoy!

One Fine Day layout | Cut Cardstock DT

Good morning everyone!! Are you happy its Friday?!? I am! lol I'm ready for the weekend and some fun outdoors! Today I'm here to share a cardstock heavy layout!! And I love it! I ran 7 different cardstocks; Stardream Metallic Copper, Textured Pink Carnation, Canvas Textured Wild Salmon, Textured Flame Tree Orange, Orange Zest, Canvas Textured Rubber Ducky Yellow and Canvas Textured Galax Olive Green, through my sizzix using a fringe die. I ran a piece of the Cougar White Smooth CardStock through my silhouette and cut out a bunch of leaves. I saved the ones I cut out but I actually wanted to use the other part as my background.

I grabbed a random piece of paper from my stash and laid my fringe pieces out on it so that I knew I had enough pieces and that it was in the order I wanted. I also checked to make sure that my top piece would sit correctly. I added 3d foam adhesive to the back of the cutfile and placed it over the top, after I had gotten all the fringe pieces stuck down.

I pulled out the stash kit I've been working with. I added a few paper layers behind my photo and stuck it down, then moved on to adding embellishments and finding a title.

I thought this sticker that said One fine day, was perfect! This day had been fantastic and the kiddos had had so much fun, it worked! I pulled the leafy bits from the sticker sheet and added those in a few places. Along with a few other stickers that I layered in the bottom left corner, the left side of my photo and up at the top as well.

I pulled some older supplies from my kit and added some of the shiny rhinestone wooden buttons here and there, decided I wanted white splatters and that ended this layout! Hope you enjoyed this layout!

Life is sweet layout | Mercy Tiara Kit Club | Take me home kit

Good morning everyone!! I got my September kit from Mercy Tiara kits last night and I had to dive right in! I made a quick unboxing, you can find that on my youtube channel, along with a process video for this layout too,just a heads up lol. But I really had to dive right in and make a layout, I have other layouts with Augusts kit still, but I wanted to play. So here is my first layout with this kit.

I knew what pictures I wanted to scrap, these sweet ones of one of my daughters and this sweet horse that she loves to feed, brush, and talk to. This is probably one of her favorite things right now. I didn't want a white background so I went for the Bazzil mint cardstock with the cute little dots on it. I added a little TCW shimmery goodness out of my stash, jutst to add some shimmer to the layout.

I cut little strips from one of the Simple stories papers and a strip from one of the Fancy pants papers and added them to the top and bottom of the layout.

I'm not patient, so I started to add layers behind my pictures, tuck things here and there. Add my foam adhesivce and cut some more strips to comeout to the left of my layout.

I pulled out some frames form the ephemer, simple stores frame packet and pinkfresh studio ones as well and tucked them in here and there. I added my title at the bottom, added a few more of those rubons, I love them by the way! They work so well!! The I pulled those sweet, beautiful sequins and started plavcing them all over my layout until I was happy and then I called this lauyout done! If you liked this layout and want to see a process video of how everything came together, check it out here and make sure you likeand subscribe so youll know when I put out more content. And if you have any questions feel free to ask!! Have a great day!!

Blessed layout | Mercy Tiara kit Club DT

Good morning, everyone!! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good, had to deal with some weather again so that sucked but were all here and that’s all that matters. I am still playing with the Mercy Tiara June kit, Brighter Days. I have been absolutely loving this kit!! I also thought I would use another one of the cutfiles you get when you get your kits too.

I decided to go with quite a few photos for this layout, 8 actually. Lol I went ahead and made them into photo strips so I could stack them a little and make sure to get them all on my layout without it being to over whelming. I sent my white cardstock through my silhouette, added a LOT of foam adhesive to the back of it and then backed it with that beautiful Pinkfresh studio, Spring Vibes, Soak it up patterned paper. I love this paper!! I rotated the paper so that the yellow part looked like it was coming out from behind where I wanted my photos to go.

I added that to the right side of my layout and then went to working on my photos and the clusters that I was going to put around them lol

I pulled bits and pieces from pretty much every ephemera pack or sticker sheet there was in the kit and ephemera add on. I had fun cutting things in half and sliding them here and there, layering other bits on top. I added foam behind the photos that were on the left and then added some foam stickers there too.

Once I had everything where I wanted, I pulled out my typewriter and did my journaling. I cut that all down and added it to the left side of my layout and then decided I wanted to add some of the enamel dots and then I called this layout done!

V√I hope you enjoyed this layout and I hope you come back and see what else I come up with. Make sure to head over the Mercy Tiara Kit club site, there are some of this kit left and you can also grab the new July kit, Summer Vibes!! Totally worth it!!

Treasures layout | Mercy Tiara Kit club DT

Ok, so these kits are big! There is so much in them!! I can’t believe after 7 layouts I still have so much left! I decided I was going to go a little different route with this layout. I started with the pictures and one of the foam sticker titles and that’s it. I liked the color if the title so I thought I would go with pinky/ coral colors and yellows. So, I went through the kit and started to pull things in those colors. When I was done with that, I had quite a bit!

I added a little glue to the backs of my photos when I got them the way I liked and then started to play with layering behind them. Before I started sticking any of that down I decided that I wanted to add a little mixed media to the background. My saltwater taffy was a little too pink so I added a little crackling campfire to it and it worked just fine.

While that was drying, I started to glue the layers together behind my photos. I added 3d foam to the back of my photos before adding some of the paper layers and ruffing up the edges. I got a couple layers in and decided to add more 3d foam for some more dimension. This way I could tuck a little more in there and there too.

I played with the different pieces I had pulled. I loved the little moths! I added a little foam to them too and popped them on here and there. I tucked a label in towards the top, little word stickers that made me think of my little miss and then I moved on to the title and my journaling.

To finish the layout off, I had already added some mixed media to the bottom right side too, so that I could add another cluster of pretties. So, I went to layering some of the labels, tucking a happy days chipboard piece, adding some dimension and tucking a glower in, popping up a moth and then adding a few enamel dots around the layout and I was done!

Make sure to head to the Mercy Tiara kit shop and check out what’s there and keep a look out for the new kit!!

Discover | Mercy Tiara Kit Club DT

Good morning crafty people!! I’m here this morning to share another new layout with you using the Mercy Tiara Brighter days kit. This kit just keeps giving and giving! I have been having so much fun playing with it, and I still have more projects to share!! This layout is about me, and all the journaling is hidden, but I have been trying to be better about writing down the story, even if everyone else can’t read it. I really started this layout with the picture, the foam sticker title and a piece of white cardstock.

I cut multiple flowers out from the cut files you get when you purchase your kit, I thought since I was doing a layout about me, I could use the pretty flower cut files and flower paper too lol. I pulled the floral paper, it’s from the Flea Market collection from Simple Stories, You’re my fave paper. I knew I wanted to use that, come on its soooo pretty!! Then I pulled different papers that I thought would go with it, some other patterned papers and some that I considered plain or can be used as one for me at least.

I added layers behind my photo, after adding a white boarder of course. I added adhesive foam for dimension and played with the papers till I got them just how I wanted them. I ran some of them threw my sewing machine, added more 3d adhesive and ruffed up the edges. I tucked the pretty flower cut file behind my layers there so that some of it would be sticking out and showing. At this point I hadn’t adhered down my photo and its layers.

I cut a 3-inch strip of that beautiful floral paper and added it to the bottom of my layout and ran it through my sewing machine. I played with the same papers form the ones I used behind my photo; I used the same ones on the bottom. But I didn’t stick them down right away. I decided I wanted to play with a little mixed media and get a bit more of that darker teal color on the page. So, I did. I added a “puddle” behind my photo and its layers and hidden journaling, then I added some to the bottom of the layout where I had picked my title to go.

I added some splatter around the layout too, waited for everything to dry and then stated adhering things down! I tucked some labels behind my title and in those layers I had already made, I slid some foam florals in up by my photo and a cute little camera too!

I tucked in some of the pretty vellum leaves, a life is beautiful banner to the right of my photo, and I decided I was done with layout. I have a question?? Do you show all your journaling where everyone can see it, or do you hide some of yours too? When it’s something personal? I hope you enjoyed this layout, and I hope you come back to check out more!!

The Best Day layout | Mercy Tiara Kits DT

Good morning crafty people!! How are you this morning? I’m doing pretty good, getting crafty lol I wanted to share another layout with y’all using the Brighter Days kit by Mercy Tiara Kits. I am seriously loving this kit!! There are two papers now that I have completely cut up, but having the paper add on made it easier for me to do! I knew exactly what picture I was scrapping for this layout so grabbing papers was where I needed to start. And I wanted bright colors, so no white background this time.

I had a hard time with this one, I love all the papers in the kit, but I finally decided on the Tell the story paper. I though the light pink would be nice, and I could use bolder paper on top without it being TOO busy. I have had a problem cutting up the flower paper, Your my fave, but I decided to go with it and ripped it down! I have an issue with wasting stuff, so I flipped over the extra piece and slid it under the flower paper and loved the way it looked so I cut another piece down and slid it under the bottom side too.

So, for me the main part of this layout was done. I knew where my photo was going and that left everywhere else to put my title, journaling and all my pretties!

I pulled out the container that I put all my fussy cut Woodland Grove gold foiled paper and started sliding the florals behind different layers, behind my photo and then at the bottom right end too. I pulled out my typewriter and did my journaling, this way I knew how much journaling I had and where I needed to put it so I could add more to my layout.

I have been trying to finish off the foam sticker sheet cause they are usually hard for me to use, so I had picked that to be something I was shooting to finish completely with this kit. So, I picked my title and placed it. There was a good area for it and the white around it made it stand out a bit. I popped my photo up and slid a few more flowers under it, part of a frame and a cute little word ephemera piece and moved on to tucking things here and there.

I didn’t fully glue down my flowers that I’d fussy cut cause I wanted them to stick up a bit and I also still wanted the option to slide a few things under them or in them too. The Pinkfresh vellum pieces were too cute so those are a few of the things I slid in with my fussy cut florals. I added some word stickers here and there that when with my layout and that was it for this layout! I hope you enjoyed this layout and I hope you come back for more inspiration! Make sure to check out the Mercy Tiara kit club site too so you see the past kits, what’s still available and what the new kit is!!

Yes, PLease layout | Mercy Tiara Kits DT

Good morning crafty people!! How are you today?! Its mid-week, halfway to the weekend and oh man am I looking forward to that! Well on another happy note, I’m here today to share another layout for the Mercy Tiara kit club. This is my second layout for the design team,using the Brighter Days kit and I already have some fun summer photos and they go perfect with this kit!!

I started this layout with my pictures I chose, my white cardstock background and the plaid for my boarder. I decided up front I wanted a boarder on this one, I trimmed my white cardstock down and added the boarder up front. I knew I wanted to use the Pinkfresh Studio paper from the delightful collection called Full Color. It’s so bright and pretty, kind of reminds me of Q-bert lol, showing my age! But I didn’t want to use to much cause it’s so bright, I’ll get there!! I pulled other papers that I thought I would use.

I backed my photos with more white cardstock, decided I didn’t want a bunch of layers behind my photos, so I started to cut strips. Fussy cutting the edges of the Full Color paper, putting another strip through a punch from my stash and then added a few more and making sure I had some for the bottom of my layout too, so I could make a cluster there too.

Like I had said, I’m really trying to use the foam titles from the kit, so I had pulled the Yes, Please and used that for my title. I placed it to the left of my layout, on the picture of my girls after I had figured out how I wanted my little paper strips.

Then I pulled out the embellishments from the main kit and the ephemera add on and started pulling things I thought I would use. I have to say, I also did some fussy cutting from 2 papers in the kit. I ended up with quite a few round pieces I can use and a whole page of labels!! And I love labels!! Lol I slid a few of the circles, plates lol, behind a tag that said this, tucked a label in with my strip layers and moved onto the bottom right corner for my cluster.

I added pap-er strips to the bottom right, along with some circle stickers, labels, and a few other ephemera pieces. I decided I wanted to add some of those pretty gold butterflies and sequins. I added those, splattered some HeidiShine and called this layout good! I hope you enjoyed this layout, and I hope you come back to check out more!!

Amazing Girls Layout | Mercy Tiara Kit Club DT

Good morning all you crafty people!! I'm back again this weeek to share another layout made with the Brighter Days kit form the Mercy Tiara Kit Club!!.

I started this layout by picking my photos. I knew what ones I wanted to use, so I grabbed them. I pulled papers from the kit and started to back my photos anf get them in the configuration I knew I wanted and then remembered I had these beautiful cutfiles I could use!! Soooo, of course I pulled out my cutty machine, added the papers I wanted to use, patterned paper and some white cardstock and let it cut the rainbow and flower out.

I decided to put the rainbow on the left side of my layout and everything towards the top because of the way the girls were looking. It just seemed to fit for me. So I added the rainbos down, and then added the flower behind my photos to just add a little more dimension and I thought it looked nice too.

Once I had the area around my photos the way I wanted, I added my title, one of the large fome stickers from the Flea Market collection, I dont tend to use these but this year I have been trying to make my self step out of my own box. But it worked perfect for my title, along with some of the amazing thickers in the kit too!! I love these Eclair foam thickers!! I layered some of the little bits and bobs form the embellishment under my title and I thought I was done, but I decided to cut my layout down and add a boarder for some more color. I'm glad I did, I like it so much better. I also decided to run the edges of my white Cardstock threw my sewing machine and the rainbow too.

I popped up a few of the stars from the cut file and then added some Heidi Swapp gold color shine from my stash, added some of the beautiful exclusive sequins here and there. Pulled out my typewriter, typed up my journaling, added it to my layout and called this one good!! I hope you enjoyed this layout, and I hope you come back to check out more!! Make sure to check out my Instagram for more insperation, along with my Youtube TikTok facebook and the Mercy Tiara Facebook Group too!!

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!
