Roadtrip | Crate Paper Cool Kid | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone!
Today I am back with you to share a new design team layout created for Sassy Scrappers using the super awesome 'Cool Kid' collection by Crate Paper! This super cool collection is currently in the Sassy store if you find inspiration from my layout and wish to purchase it!

This collection is not only great for all your boy themed pages, it can be used for travel or outdoor pages too. My family and I had a recent holiday overseas and we captured lots of Roadtrip moments including this one of my youngest son falling asleep on his Pop after a big day out! I just had to document this and what better way with the bright colours of the Cool Kid collection! 

I wrote some journaling on that tag and then popped it behind my photo, I love doing this and will quite often hide my journaling as I feel it can take away from the design sometimes. I knew I wanted to use the clear ephemera road map piece but it got a bit lost against the blue background so I adhered it to white cardstock and I like how that looks much better!

My title is cut using my Silhouette Cameo and I cut it from a lime green cardstock that matches perfectly with my Mum's cardigan in the photo. I really like the mix of fonts in the title.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

Happy creating!

Feeling All the Feels | July 2017 Main and Add-On Kits | Hip Kit Club

Hi everyone!

Today I am sharing a new design team layout created for Hip Kit Club using the July 2017 Main and Add-On kits!

I absolutely fell in love with the 'All the Feels' paper by Amy Tangerine from the On a Whim collection! I knew I wanted to cut up lots of those cute quotes and use them on a layout.

I started this layout with no design in mind, I chose a photo and then went ahead and cut up the quotes, once they were all cut, I placed them all around my photo to frame it. I used some foam tape to pop up my photo as I knew the quotes would take a lot of the focus and I wanted the photo to remain the focus.

The exclusives this month are unbelievable!! We have so many exclusives this month, including 2 x papers, Project Life cards, puffy stickers, chipboard stickers, epoxy stickers and painted wood veneer! I really hope we get those gorgeous painted wood veneers again...they are my favourite!

I used lots of the exclusives as well as some of the Amy Tangerine 'On a Whim' clear stickers and ephemera to embellish my layout. I kept the embellishments to a minimum since I had lots going on with the quotes!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you have tried your July 2017 Hip Kits? We would love to see if you have! 

Happy creating!

Smile | Shimelle | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone!
Today I am sharing a new layout created for Sassy Scrappers! This is my 6th and last layout using the awesome Shimelle 'Starshine' and 'Go Now Go'!! Time for something new to create with after this post!

As soon as I saw that paper with all the different size rectangles from the Starshine collection I knew I had to fussy cut them all out and layer them underneath my photo! I love how it turned out with all the colours and edges looking uneven!

I cut out one of the small hot air balloons from that paper and cut out some of the clouds from the cloud paper to help embellish my layout....as I am getting down to the last of my kit now, I didn't have many embellishments left so making my own was key!

This photo is one of my all time favourites...it was taken professionally last year...our first ever family portrait sitting and I love the photos...they are all so nice! I love how the black and white of the photo pops off the coloured patterned papers!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Make sure to check out the Sassy store for lots of amazing products you won't want to miss out on!

Summer | July 2017 Main and Add-On Kits | Hip Kit Club

Hi everyone!

 Today I am back with you to share a brand new design team layout created for Hip Kit Club using the gorgeous July 2017 Main and Add-On kits!

 This week, my theme is to focus on the black and white floral paper....I started by fussy cutting lots of the different florals and leaves out.....I knew before I cut them, that I was going to be adding watercolours to them to make them nice and bright.

While they dried, I picked out a few of the Summer and tropical elements from all of the kits...my favourite thing this month are those gorgeous exclusive coloured wood veneers!

 I just love these and want way more packs than just one! I added the camera, 1 of the flowers and the sunglasses from this pack along with many other things like the Echo Park puffy stickers and decorative brads and the exclusive puffy stickers too. 

Under my photo, I layered 3 of the exclusive Project Life cards and used foam tape to pop up the entire photo and the mats. I even did a Missy Whidden and added black thread under my layered flowers! I don't paint very often but I am so glad I spent the time on it this week as I love how this layout turned out! 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Up, Up and Away | Shimelle | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone!
Today I am back with you to share a new design team scrapbook layout created for Sassy Scrappers! I have used some of the cute goodies included in the awesome Shimelle 'Starshine' collection!

I started out by cutting a few hot air balloon cut files from white cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo, I then backed them with a couple of the different patterned papers from the Starshine collection to help bring them to life! This then led me to fussy cut some of the cute clouds from the cloud paper....it was very easy to create a scene like layout with all these cute elements added to my layout!

This photo is of my eldest son learning to fly his kite....its a photo from quite a few years ago now...he is almost 12 now and he is about 6 in this photo!

I have made a pact with myself to try and include more journaling on my layouts...I am not a fan of my own handwriting at all so typing it on the computer and printing it out is what works best for me and besides I really like the look of journaling strips!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope I have inspired you to pop over to the Sassy store and buy some new goodies and get creating! We would love to see what you create with your goodies!

Happy creating!

Yum | July 2017 Main and Add-On Kits | Hip Kit Club

Hi everyone!

Today I back with you to share a design team layout created for Hip Kit Club using the July 2017 Main and Add-On kits!

This is my first layout using the gorgeous July 2017 Hip Kits...the first thing that jumped out at me was this amazing exclusive paper designed by fellow HKC designer Irit Landgraf! Isn't it beautiful? 

This month, we have some gorgeous cut files also designed by fellow designers, they co-ordinate with some of the products on the July 2017 Hip Kits perfectly!

I decided to cut a few of the icecream borders using a couple of different coloured cardstocks so that I could have different coloured 'flavours'!! There are lots of ice-cream/gelato related elements in the July 2017 Hip Kits and these are what inspired this layout!

Those pink splotches printed on the paper reminded me of when ice-cream is melting so I decided to add some of the Amy Tangerine colourful clear stickers to enhance them even more!  

I have made a pact with myself to try to include a lot more journaling on my pages than I used too. I am not a fan of my handwriting and so typing it and cutting it into strips is the way to go for me! 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope I have inspired you in some way to create projects using the July 2017 Hip Kits!

Happy creating!

Hello Adventure | Shimelle | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone!

Today I am sharing a new design team layout created for Sassy Scrappers with you all using the gorgeous Shimelle collections: Starshine and Go Now Go!

I just love that colourful striped paper and knew I wanted to use it as a background for this layout! The photo I am using is one of my sons from our recent trip to Europe and the UK. We were visiting the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester....the boys loved all the old planes and transport that were there!

I had lots of the Autumn themed embellishments left in the Shimelle Go Now Go collection and even though my layout is not about Autumn, I still think they go well on this layout!

The 'Journey' cork words are one of my favourite things from my kit this month! I love the texture and the dimension they bring to my layout!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Make sure to check out the Sassy store for some AMAZING products...I know they will have just what you need! ;)

Happy creating!
