Mask Life | Clique Kits International DT

Good morning everyone!! I hope your having a great Monday morning, I'm hoping it will dry out here some before to long! Well I wanted to share a layout with you today inspired by life lately. I think pretty much everyone and understand where I'm coming from with this one.
I loves this kit, September song so I wanted to try and use as much of it as I could and you cant even really tell that I pieced it together from scraps I had left over. The mat for the white background is pieces together from three different pieces, but it worked. I knew what picture I was going to use, so I started layering scrap pieces behind my photo. I found a big enough piece to use for a pocket and a tag and cut those out too.
I went ahead and placed those two bigger parts of my layout down and then started to work from there. I knew I wanted some of that yellow plaid on here somewhere but didn't have much left so I added a strip to the bottom and a tav I cut from the same paper I had made the pocket out of.
At this point I knew I really wanted to get my title on here so that I could start to embellish, so I pulled my alphas from the kit and painted them with gold paint from my stash and sat them aside to dry, while I stamped out the mask part of the title. Then it was on to embellishing! I love this part!.
I added some of the 3d brads here and there, along with some of the puffy floral stickers and then to finish it all up I splattered some gold Heidi shine on my layout to pull a bit more gold in and the warm tones and that was it. I hope you liked this layout and I hope you find a way to scrap and use your scraps too! Clique kits Products used: September song kit

Merry Christmas | Clique Kits International

Good morning everyone and happy New years!! I hope you had a safe and fun New years last night!! Well this morning I'm here to share a new layout with you that I made for Clique kits International
I pulled the stripped paper for my background, I keep trying to do something outside of my own little box latley. If not a color background then a patterned one. We will see how long this goes lol. But I pulled it and grabbed my gold paint and dry brushed some of it down the center of my page, from the top to the bottom. When that was drying, I pulled a few papers form my Hey Santa paper pack and layered them behind my photo.

Once I had those layers done and the edges a little scruffed up, I grabbed the print outs I got off the Clique kits site. There in the store under digital. I didnt even know they had these, I knew there were cutfiles, but look what you find if you peek around! lol. But I liked this printable so I got it, cut it up and started to tuck bits and pieces of it behind my photo and its layers.
I made sure to keep the little cozy thing they put on your cups at Star Bucks so that I could use it in the layout. I tuked my picture, its embellishments and such inside it and attached it all to the layout. This gave me my place for my title, so I added that cutfile to the bottome of the layout and then went to a little more embellishing.
I used some more of the pieces from the printable, to the right side of my photo along with some stars I had cut out with the dies from the shop. Those things are great!! Once you cut them, you fold them and they have dyminsion! They are just too cute!. I popped a few more little rhinestones here and there on the layout and was done.
This is a pretty simple layout, but it captured a moment of me and my oldest together. Even if his face isnt in the picture, we went and got our 1st Peppermint mocha of the Christmas season. He loves coffee just as much as I do,so it was nice to catch this little thing we do together and scrap it. When the Clique Kits site is back up after end of the year inventory make sure to head over and check out the shop!! There will be new kits coming and new supplies. There is always something beautiful to play with!! Clique Kits products used: Hey Santa paper pack Peintable | Into the Holiday's 2016
