Sweet Brooklin - Hip Kit Club

Happy Friday! I'm sharing a layout today that I created using the kit from the February Hip Kit Club. I love the colors in this kit! I created this layout for a challenge to scraplift a layout that was posted on the Hip Kit Facebook forum. 

I used a lot of mixed media on this layout. The top part is bright dots of gelatos. The bottom portion is paint. 

Of course, I added splatters of ink!

Lots of layers!

I love the elements in this kit. They are so well coordiated and the colors are gorgeous! 

I have a process video up for you if you'd like to watch the whole process of how this came together.

National Scrapbooking Day is tomorrow so be sure to check back because I'm taking part in a huge video hop and I'll have a brand new layout to share!

Thanks for stopping by!

SNL Saturday Stash Dive ~ Stamps

Happy Saturday! It's time for the SNL Saturday Stash Dive! Today is all about stamps! I have soooo many stamps but to be honest with you, I don't really use them nearly enough. Well, today that is going to change. I'm using mostly stamps on this layout.

I started by using a big background stamp in polka dots. I used some Dylusions Ink Mist and pressed the stamp into the ink on my worksheet, then stamped the paper.

I used several border stamps to add layers of texture. 

Here you can see I used a few stamps to make embellishments. The doily stamps and the circular stamp.

I have several layers of paper under the photo to add dimension. 

Again more layers of stamping. I then finished it off with some ink splatters.

I hope this inspires you to get some of your stamps out and put them to use!  If you'd like to see the whole process I have a video for you!

Have a great Saturday!

Project Life ~ Week 1

I have finally been able to start my Project Life album for 2015! I am excited. Even though I'm already late, I'm ok with it because at least I'm getting it started. I will catch up through the year. I don't really worry too much about it because then it becomes a chore or a job. I know that most of the time I will always be behind because life is just busy. I'm ok with that.

Here are some photos of my Week 1 layout:

Here is a process video for the layout:

Merci ~ Dec Hip Kit

Happy Sunday! Hope you're having a fabulous weekend! I wanted to share a layout with you today that I created using the December Hip Kit. I love the softness of this layout. I think the cut files add an airy feeling to it.

This is a photo of my sweet niece, Coco.  The flourish cut file is from the Silhouette shop and the hearts are leftover cuts from a file from The Cut Shoppe that I used on another layout.  I used Ranger Texture Paste and colored it with a bit of mist and used a heart stencil to apply the heart confetti. I colored the hearts with watercolors.

Here you can see the watercolor on the hearts 

I love that texture paste! It is such a fun element to add to a page!

I do have a process video for this layout if you'd like to watch!

Thanks and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
