Love in a Bowl

Good Morning Clique Kits Fans! Sarah here to share another fun layout I made using this fabulous We Go Together Limited Edition Kit! Now I have 4 boys, and we don’t do a lot of mushy, and I’ve learned recently that The Hubs and I are terrible at getting into pictures together (which I plan on fixing immediately!), so I wanted to share how you can use this awesome kit for more than just Valentine’s Day layouts!

One morning I woke up and decided to have a bowl of Cheerios. I love Cheerios, but I hardly EVER have them, so it was extra special that I found this heart in the middle of my Cheerio! I knew I needed to take a picture of it and scrapbook it! I wanted to emphasize the heart shape in the picture, so I used many of the different heart elements that came in the kit! I also used this heart pattern cut file from Elle’s Studio.

I had a little bit of the pink polka dot paper and the light pink stripe paper left from my mini album and I really wanted some pops of pink in this layout, so I cut strips of both of those papers and alternated them unevenly throughout the back of my layout so they would show through the heart pattern.

 

 

I made this layout at a crop a couple weeks ago and I have defintely become a minimalist when packing for crops because I really hate unpacking it all! lol I also find that when you have a kit, you don’t need to pack much more to get crafty with! I bought this adorable die cut from Dear Lizzy here in the Clique Kits Shop a couple months ago, and I’m finally getting around to using it! I brought the die, knowing someone else would have a machine! lol I was right! The one problem with not bringing a lot of stuff is that sometimes you don’t have the exact thing you want for a layout…I wanted gold letters…but didn’t have gold paper….so I walked around at the crop (getting a little exercise! lol) and tried to see what kind of glittery stuff my crafty companions had…a friend had some glitteritz (I’m not even sure I’m spelling that right), but it’s this super fine really cool glitter…so I added some glue to my die cut and pressed this fun glitter into my “LOVE”. Voila! See, you really don’t need to pack your entire scrap room while cropping! lol

 

How awesome is this gold heart foil paper?! I just love the little bling it adds!

 

I added the adorable heart and arrow stamp from the kit to my layout to add an extra layer 🙂

 

I still have quite a bit left over from this kit and I’m dying to get some more crafty time in soon to power through the rest of it! I do believe everyone I know is getting some Valentine’s Cards this year! lol

Thanks for stopping by!!
