Dream Big// Clique Kits DT

Hello scrappy friends!  I have a 9x12 mixed media scrapbook layout for you.  I am using the Fancy Pants Dream Big collection featured in this months Clique Kit.  It has a dominant fall outdoor theme, and I live in Florida where its never fall, so I am challenged to use this kit for brighter lighter moments.  My sister was recently down from NJ and we always take tons of photos together, especially when I am 6+ months pregnant.  

I started off with cutting off 3 inches of this 12x12 patterned paper to fit into my album.  This paper was named Field of Fancy.  I started off with applying gesso in a vertical position to dull down the background.  I then used the "packaging technique" to apply mists, Lindy Stamp Gang in Mad Matter Mint and Shimmerz Mists in Egg Noggin.  

Using my ATG gun, I added 2 rows of crepe paper ruffles in a vertical position too.  For added detail, I also added a mint green sheer ribbon in the center as well.  This is where I positioned my photos over it.  

I did a large embellishment cluster on the left side of my photos, included pieces from the Creekside collection and puffy stickers from Dream Big: Fancy Pants.  A few flair buttons in my stash add more interest and then I added enamel dots with gold texture gems from Faber Castel and Nuvo Dots in Banana Split.  Some light journaling finished off my layout.  

Thank you for stopping by and linked below is my process video.

Mermaid Hair Dont Care// Clique Kits DT Instagram Share

Hello fellow memory keepers! Its our monthly Instagram share where we post our latest projects using that months kit.  You are able to hop along and find tons of amazing inspiration.  I love the Summer Lights collection by Pink Paislee that is featured in the August 2017 Clique Kit.  My sister recently came to visit and I have tons of photos to scrap.  She lives on the beach everyday when she is down from NJ, so its truly the only time I go to the beach.  I prefer to be poolside.  lol.

I started out with cutting the Palm Trees out on my Cameo, (file from Silhouette Design Store) on white AC card stock.  Then I surveyed all the patterned papers peaking through and this pink ombre striped paper won.   

I did a little bit of mixed media with some Shimmerz mists in Egg Noggin, Color Shine mist in Gold and Dylusions mist in Sunshine.  I used the lighter yellow and gold around the palm trees and did an orange sunburst behind my photo.  A little messy, but most gets covered up anyways.  The joy of mixed media.

Then I took out the ephemera pack, the sequins, the flair buttons and glass sea shells bits from the kits and do a fun cluster of embellishments around the photo.  The holographic alphas from the kits are amazing, so I have to make another word on the page to use some again.

I added some light journalling to remember the moment and that finishes this 12x12 layout.  Process video for your enjoyment.

Electric Love Pocket Page// Clique Kits DT

Hello Scrappy Peeps!  I am still playing with my August 2017 Malibu Scrapbooking Clique Kit.  It features the Summer Lights collection by Pink Paislee.  Todays grouping of pictures is a family gathering for my MIL birthday and my good scrappy friend Katty also stopped by.  

Is there other scrappers like me who keep a 12x12 scrapbook album going as well as a pocket page album?  I always scrap a 12x12 for the best photo and then print the rest of the day or event for my pocket page album.  I currently am using a Studio Calico 9x12 album that has 2016 and 2017 together since I seemed to have slipped in keeping up with the photo pages.  

I live in Florida and I love taking the occasional photo of all the amazing palm trees that grow here. I managed to capture a good one and printed it for this spread.

I took a few photos with my doxies before we left and I could have printed one of the perfect ones, but I thought why not print the spontaneous one where Kobe licked me perfectly and Miguel caught the moment of my eyes closed and in the moment with my little man.  lol

The elements for this spread are from the cut apart page and the 6x12 sticker collection.  I am in love with the holographic features in this kit and love the summer vibe. 

If I could hoard the rest of this kit I shall or I may kill the kit as we say.  Happy Scrapping ladies.

Beach Life 4 Ever// Clique Kits DT

Hello scrappy friends!  I have a fun summer vibes layout for you using the August 2017 Clique Kit.  The kit features the Summer Lights collection from Pink Paislee.  I am also using the scalloped 12x12 cut file available on the Clique Kit site.  I am scrapping a few photos of us walking on the beach after we painted out baby nursery light pink.  I am 22 weeks pregnant in these photos with our first baby.

Our challenge for this layout was to create a title using multiple alphas.  I cut out 'Beach Life' from paper 10 of the collection, '4ever' are holographic alphas included in the kit, 'in' was from Bella Blvd and 'florida' was an AC pack of alphas from my stash.  Challenge complete.

I first started off with the cut file and used my Ranger Distress Inks in Straw, Maralade, Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen bough with a blending tool.  I matted the cut file with the back side of Paper 10 of the collection which had a yellow ombre to a mint green color.

I did some light journaling in one of the scallops and did a few embellishment clusters using the ephemera pack.  I also added the lovely sequins included in the kit this month for added details to the layout.   I love the summer vibe this layout has and living in Florida its an obvious feel.
