Happy Everything With Clique Kits

Hey Bloggers! I've been having a lot of fun playing with Clique Kit's 1st Anniversary kit Happy Everything! It's jam packed with one of my favourite manufacturers, Pink Fresh Studios! I LOVE this line! It's just amazing! It's full of  gold embossed fabulousness and bright coloured and funky patterns and you can't forget the puffy stickers...right Wendy?! lol!! 

This first layout has such an old picture on it (it seems). It's from when Caleb (our 6 year old) was a baby! We took Ethan and Caleb to the carnival when it came to town, and Ethan went on the Ferris Wheel! I didn't get a good picture of him on it, but I really liked this picture, so I thought I would use it to tell the story!

You can check out my process with this layout on the Clique Kits blog here

I used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches for the first layout, but I didn't get it linked up in time to play along...lol 

This next layout I had a lot of fun creating! You can see how I played with the background at the Clique Kits blog!

 I'm in love with those hearts and that wood veneer! Oh! Did you see the exclusive printables that I used here? I printed them on vellum to give them a soft feel to go with this paper :) I added one of the Pink Fresh rub ons to one of the tag printables in the top right corner. Those rub ons are amazing! They're the best ones I think I've ever used! 

Thanks for stopping by! I'm off to bed now...at 2 am...YIKES!

March Paper Bakery Kits

Hi Bloggers!

I just wanted to pop in and share my Paper Bakery projects that I made using the FABULOUS March Kits "Daylight Savings". I just LOVED playing with the Mixed Media Kit this month! It was loaded with a TON of super cool goodies from chevron tissue paper to yellow chalkboard paint complete with chalk!!  Now I've already posted some of these projects on my blog, but I just wanted to show you just how many projects you can get done with 2 kits!  

Keep in mind I could easily still make 3 or 4 more layouts using the patterned paper I have left, not to mention I have TONS of fun paints and fresco flakes and all kinds of mixed media left too! That's one thing I love about the Mixed Media kit. You get these full pots of paint and gellatos and mica paints and mists and all kinds of cool stuff that you can use on countless projects well after the rest of your kit items are used! It totally rocks!!

My first project was a refurbished old frame that went from this:

To this: I just love how fun and funky the frame looks with the chalkboard paint and the chevron tissue paper! 

I made a couple layouts too using both the Scrapbook Kit and the Mixed Media Kit. 

This layout was made with scraps from last months Mixed Media and Scrapbook kits and this months kits too! I even used a card from the Capture 365 kit from February too! This is totally not my usual colour scheme, but I'm really loving how the colours go together :)

Do you know that with your subscription to any of the Paper Bakery kits you get exclusive Printables and Cut Files?! This month we got these fabulous Printables:

I just love the "Unbelievable" one! It totally reminds me of that EMF song! So when I saw it, I knew I wanted to use it as my title :)

I'm in love with that pink chevron canvas tag! It was in my February Mixed Media kit and I used the chevron stencil from that kit with the mists that came with it and made it all purdy ;)

This was another project I did using both the Scrapbook and Mixed Media kits. I am in love with this cute little mini!

That's all for these kits for now, but I am totally needing to do some crafting tonight, so I will definitely be back to show you what I did with the rest of these kits later this week!! 

Blessings,

Spring Canvas (and a tutorial)

 Hi all my beautiful crafty peeps!! I hope you're having a fabulous weekend so far!! I am trying desperately to catch up on my housework, and failing miserably, so I thought I'd pop into my blog and show you a canvas I created for the Paper Bakery! 

I absolutely LOVE the Umbrella Rain Mixed Media Kit! It's so full of wonderful spring things, it's very refreshing when I'm dying for spring to be here!

I put up a tutorial on the Paper Bakery Blog for how I created this canvas, so be sure to stop by and check it out!

I am soooo looking forward to spring weather and I think it's pretty much here, but I think what I'm actually looking forward to is the muck and yuck to be somewhat dried up too...I am NOT liking all this mud coming into my house and attaching itself to my kids!! They like it though, so I guess it can stay for a while!!

Well, I'm off to finish the monumental job of cleaning my house! 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Blessings

February Scrapbook Nerd Reveal

Hey there my fellow Nerds! I'm up today at Scrapbook Nerd with my kit reveal! This month they gave me Crate Paper's Bundled Up collection to work with. This is one of my favourite holiday collections so far! I love that you can use it for winter layouts, Christmas layouts and everyday layouts too!

For my first layout, I used this fab sketch from Creative Scrappers. 

"My 3 Snow Angels"

I wanted to try the Ferro metalic texture paint on this layout, so I got out my Tim Holtz star stencil and a putty knife and painted it on in a few different places on this layout. That was the first time I had ever tried this stuff, and I tell you, I'm totally hooked! I LOVE it! The texture it gives is amazing and it just looks so cool!

For my second layout, I scraplifted another one of Juliana Michael's layouts! I absolutely LOVED this one and I really wanted to add my own take to it! 

You would never even know that this was a winter/holiday paper line from this layout! I really like that you can stretch your stash with this line and use it for more than what it's made for!

"Early Morning Kisses"

Again I used a different colour of the Ferro Metalic Texture paint here and the Tim Holtz clock stencil. Sooooo loving it!

For this last layout I used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches

"Sleigh Ride"

Last weekend we took the kids for a sleigh ride and I couldn't wait to scrapbook these photos! This paper was perfect for it I do believe!! 

I do hope you stop by the Scrapbook Nerd forum and check out the rest of the design team's reveals! There are some fabulous layouts and tons of inspiration!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! 

Blessings,
