Hello Precious | Bella Blvd Island Escape | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone!
Today I am sharing a new design team layout created for Sassy Scrappers using the gorgeous Island Escape collection by Bella Blvd! 

For this layout, I actually started out with the super cute borders paper from the Bella Blvd Molly collection as I received that paper in my kit along with the Island Escape collection this time too! I decided on a banner/pennant layout and took my large banner punch and punched out a few of them to place horizontally across the page!

I just had to fussy cut one of the adorable foxes also from the borders paper and added it beside my beautiful photo. The photo is of my 2 gorgeous nieces with my Mum (their Grandma that they call Marnee) when my Mum was visiting them recently. Oh how they love their Marnee!

I love that strip that says 'Beauty Might Bring Happiness But Happiness Always Brings Beauty' from the Borders paper from the Molly collection and wanted to include that above the banners along with the blue and white distressed strip from the Island Escape Borders paper also.

The Elle's Studio wood veneer from the Cienna collection were perfect to add to the layout as they say things like Precious and I Love You...all things that go with this gorgeous photo!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy creating!

Hello Adventure | May 2018 Main and Add-On Kits | Hip Kit Club

Hi everyone!

Today I am back with you to share a new design team layout created for Hip Kit Club using the amazing May 2018 Main and Add-On kits!

This week my assignment was to create a masculine layout! Having 2 sons and my hubby, there is certainly no shortage of boy photos to use so I chose this one of my youngest son trying on his sunglasses and being silly!

Most people may not add pink to masculine layouts but I really like too and I feel you shouldn't be limited to using certain colours! Anything goes in my opinion! My layout ended up having loads of colours purely because I wanted to use that colourful Adventure title and the rainbow too!

Underneath my photo, I layered the cool grid Heidi Swapp lace paper plus a couple of the exclusive Project Life cards! Our Project Life kits are always amazing, the cards included are always exclusively designed by Kimberly and Kim Watson!

I absolutely adore the new stamps by Vicki Boutin included in the May 2018 Color Kit! I love the different circle designs that are included! I used the small circle stamp with all the dots on my page, I love how it adds a pop of black and ties in with the circle elements I have included on my page! This month's color kit is low in stock so if you were thinking about getting it, you should totally order it before they all go out the door! 

Don't be afraid to add pink to your next masculine layout! You can just add a hint of it like I have done by adding some circles or another geometric shape! 

Don't hesitate to order the May 2018 Hip Kits if you would like them! Lots of them are low in stock so visit the Hip Kit Club website and order yours before they all walk out the door!

Thanks so much or stopping by today!

Happy creating!

Splash | Bella Blvd Island Escape | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone!
Today I am back with you to share a new design team layout created for Sassy Scrappers using the gorgeous Bella Blvd Island Escape collection in the Sassy store now!

I absolutely love this photo of my niece on a flamingo floatie from last year! It is a perfect photo to use for this collection! I started out by finding a flamingo cut file and cut it out from the pink paper from the Island Escape collection!

I also cut a title to suit from the purply/blue waves paper. Once I had placed the cut files where I wanted them, I placed my photo and tucked one of the floral ephemera pieces under the right hand side of my photo! 

Embellishing was easy after I had my title and photos down. I added a couple of wood veneer that I got in the Sassy store plus I also added 2 flairs, some enamel dots and phrase stickers from my stash too! 

Make sure to check out the Sassy Scrappers store and get the Island Escape collection before it sells out! I have noticed that some of the goodies are already sold out so be quick!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Mr. & Mrs. | May 2018 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 gorgeous May 2018 Main and Add-On kits!

This week I am using the sketch for inspiration and to make it interesting I was given the extra assignment to flip the sketch! I flipped it to the right so that the tag was on the top.

I started out by picking the Pinkfresh Studio 'A Case of the Blahs' as my background paper, I like the softness of this paper for a background, I also knew I wanted to use some of those stunning lace papers by Heidi Swapp as layering pieces. I cut up the pretty rose one and used in three different areas to create that all important visual triangle.

I chose one of the exclusive Project Life cards as a centre piece above my photo and the small tag was perfect for just above the PL card.

The Creative Devotion watercolour stickers are amazing and are the perfect element for extra colour and interest without having to add wet medium! I love how they look!

For my title, I used the gorgeous pink chipboard Thickers from the May 2018 Main kit and placed them down the left side of the photo.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Be sure to check out this week's awesome sketch in the Facebook group and check out the Hip Kit Club store to order these amazing kits!

Happy creating!

Super Moon | Boys Rule | Cocoa Vanilla Studio

Hi everyone!

Today I am excited to be sharing a new design team layout created for Cocoa Vanilla Studio using the amazing brand new 'Boy's Rule' collection!

So instead of creating a layout about my beautiful boys, this time I have created a layout to show how versatile this gorgeous collection is by documenting one of the awesome Super Moon's we had earlier in the year! The inspiration for this layout definitely came from all the awesome stars and the ephemera piece that says 'The Best in the Galaxy'! Perfect elements for this page!

I found a star cut file that I liked and cut it out from the navy blue paper with stars on it. I layered some of the chipboard and ephemera stars over the top of the cut file ones plus scattered some others around the page too. 

I matted my photo with one of the pieces from the cut apart paper plus one of the frames from the Miscellany pack. On the right hand side, I  cut apart the small blue star banner piece and tucked it in and tucked the other half on the left of the photo. I also tucked in a little tag on the right side.

There are no alphas stickers included in the Boys Rule collection so I pulled out some from the Totally Rad and Colour Me Happy collections to form my title. I love how they co-ordinate just right with all the other elements I have on the layout!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy creating!

Sea | Bella Blvd Island Escape | Sassy Scrappers

Hi everyone!
Today I have a new design team layout to share for Sassy Scrappers using the gorgeous Bella Blvd Island Escape collection!

I have had this picture of my boys from this past Summer printed for a while now! This photo was the inspiration for this layout! I knew I wanted to include some boating/nautical elements on this page today!

I started off by finding a ship's wheel cut file and cut it out from the dark blue paper in the Island Escape collection. I used foam tape to pop it up off the page. I also cut some strips from the 'Borders' paper in the Island Escape collection to add to the left side of the layout! I like the pop of pink and the addition the floral also brings.

That sticker that says 'Summer Buds' was perfect for this page too! Since they are brothers and good friends it goes so well! I added some ephemera and some of the chipboard stickers to embellish and I also added a wooden ships wheel from my stash to finish my page! 

I really liked that Sea title on the chipboard sticker sheet so that became my page title, I added another part of a border strip below this also!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Check out the Sassy store for amazing products you absolutely need!!

You'll Move Mountains | The Cut Shoppe

Hi everyone!

Today I am sharing a new design team layout for The Cut Shoppe using one of the travel themed cut files called 'Going My Way'

I cut the cut file from white cardstock as I knew that I wanted to use that blue paper as a background paper. I like how the white pops against the blue background.

Once adhered, I machine stitched around the circles. 

The cut file is awesome for travel pages and just general outdoor pages too!

I attached foam tape underneath the photo mat to create some dimension and also under the 'You'll Move Mountains' ephemera piece that acts as my title for the layout.

I added a few extra embellishments to finish off the layout including layering the corresponding wooden letters on top of the N, E, S and W. 

Make sure to check out The Cut Shoppe Etsy store and grab some gorgeous cut files to use in your craft!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
