This is Halloween mini book | Clique kits International DT

Good morning everyone!! Are y'all excited about halloween and fall?? I have already started decorating and doing some fun things with the kiddos! Usually I just make 12x12 layouts for every month and never in order, and I still plan on making some layouts, but with things going on here I thought, well hey why not make a mini for the month and document everything like I do in December? So I did lol.

I started with an older Maya Roades album I had in my stash. Did a little white dry brush strokes, pulled out my TCW marigold stencil butter from my explore mixed media Halloween kit and started to play with this. After that dried, I grabbed some ink from my stash and grunged up the cover a bit. I pulled my alphas from my A little scary seasonal kit and put my title on the cover along with a few paper strips and a too cute ghost and some balloons.

I moved to the inside cover and decided to make a pocket so that I can stick extra stuff like movie lists for october and a good Halloween playlist for the month. But I still have room do I can stash some more things in there too. On my 1st page I had to use that little witch. She is just soo cute and I also wanted to document that this was Halloween 2021, so I made that pretty big. But I like the way it turned out. I ruffed up the edges and added a cut little spider too.

I mean, really! Isn't she so cute!

Next I moved on to my 1st real page about the 1st halloween movie we watched this month. I love Hocus Pocus and me and the kids like to sit down and watch it. Along with other movies we watch in October. I did a little paper layering on most of my inserts, I had to make sure to get some of that beautiful lace in there too. I made sure I had a journaling spot on my 2nd page so I could write about what we did. Like our 1st bonfire of the year!! The kids loved it! It had finally gotten cool enough outside to have a nice big bonfire and we stayed up late talking and playing. I can't wait for more of these!

I moved on to my last page for this week and added pictures of the bonfire we had. When we 1st started it and then when it was dying down at the end of the night, along with some fun little selfies with my girls that we took playing out there, cuddled up and having some good family time.

I wanted to use some cute 3x4 pocket cards I had as well, so I slipped some of them into pockets. Cut out some of my own tags from the pretty paper and aded embellishments here and there for some more pop. I had a blast with this kit so far and will be adding more to this mini album threw the month and you can keep up with it on my Instagram account and on Clique kits IG account too! ​Make sure to head over to the shop and check out all the new goodies that keep rolling in and get your hands on some great kits and get to craftin!

Paper Sweeties August 2019 New Release Sneak Peeks!

Good morning everyone!!

Sarah here this morning to share with you a sneak peek of this months stamps and sweet cuts. They were perfect for me this month! My youngest turned 3 this month and the cute little cupcakes are just fantastic!

 

I thought I would share my mini album cover with yall today. I pulled an old crate paper collection out of my stash, it was already birthday themed so I thought it was appropriate and cute. 

 

 I pulled some of the flowers from the ephemera and used then to cut out parts of my cupcakes. This way there were added in sparkles and pretty patterned papers there too. I only added three of these cute cupcakes to the cover because that's how old she turned so I wanted to keep it there. On top of that, the cover was kind of small. 

 

I thought it would be cute to use the cake platter, so I placed 2 of my cupcakes there and added the number 3 on top, this way it was front and center. I added my title but at this point hadn't put my 3rd cupcake down and decided I wanted to. So I added another to the bottom right of my album cover. 

I think these little stamps and sweet cuts are fantastic and have been playing with them and cant wait to share more over the next couple of days with yall! make sure to stop back by and see what else I've come up with!

And make sure to head over and check out the Paper Sweeties shop and the rest of the girls blogs and see what they have created as well!!

This mini album/Pretty Little Studio DT

Good morning scrappy friends!! How is your week going?? Good I hope! On the plus side its almost Friday!! Yay! 

So I'm here today to share with you a mini album I made for my mommas 60th birthday!

I used the beautiful With all my Heart Collection to create this mini. I dry brushed my chipboard mini with white paint, let it dry, grabbed all my photos.

I layered a tag, along with some pretty die cut flowers and some little word stickers. I picked the word stickers so they would make a little saying that was sweet for my mom.

I did use a lot of photo strips for this mini, I loved the way they fit. 

I layered some patterned paper behind the photos, played with tags and labels and of course I had to add in the flowers too!

All the colors in this collection are just amazing! It works for boys and girls. And the little sayings are to cute!

I added a few Flair badges here and there, with thread clusters under them.

I love mini albums and I think my mom is really going to enjoy it.

To finish of my mini I added some tags, frames and stickers, so that I would have a sweet little saying for her.

I hope you enjoyed this mini I made and I hope you come back by to see more!

Little Moments mini album/Pretty little Studio DT

Good morning everyone! Are you ready for the beginning of a new week??

I have to say that I'm not quite ready for it, we've had a long weekend and lots of house guests, but it has been fun!

Well I'm here today to share with you a mini album with you that I made for my MIL. She loves when I make her mini albums and I thought the Woodland collection would be great. I has a variety of colors that work well for boys and girls.

I started by picking the back ground paper and I used some of the package backing for bits and pieces of the mini album too. I mean, if the packaging is so cute, why not use it, right! lol. 

I added tags, tabs and word stickers through out the mini and I ended up really happy with this mini. 

I've added pictures of the rest of the album for you to look at and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!
