June Pep Rally Featuring Dream Quest

June 17, 2015 by nicolemartel 18 Comments

Hi everybody. It’s Nicole here, wishing you a fabulous Wednesday! Welcome to the June Pep Rally. This month, we hope to inspire you with a variety of projects using Crate Paper’s “Journey” collection. I really love the tribal feel to this kit and my favorite part of the kit is the paper with the tepees! Totally love it.  For our challenge this month, we went with an “Anything Goes”, so I decided to challenge myself to create layouts using a few photos and I even used color photos! Normally, I scrap black and white photos because they go with any papers and embellishments, but I am working on changing that.

The Pep Rally, for those of you who are new to the Clique, is our monthly subscriber and design team blog share typically held the third week of the month and participants earn product credits-yes, free stuff to do what you love-who can beat that? It’s out with the old, in with the new time at Clique Kits when we (hopefully) have all killed our kit from the previous month and have lots to show off, and we start to chat and hype the excitement for the coming month’s kit. In other words, we party! We don’t leave out our guests-there is always a prize for a hopper who comments on each post and likes and shares on social media! Just leave a new comment for each like and share for a separate entry in the random drawing for this month’s prize. One lucky person will win this month’s Dream Quest kit that is sold out! Get the word out and have your friends join our Pep Rally because they might end up with this gorgeous kit at their doorsteps!

Here’s today’s line up:

Feel free to hop in any order, if you get lost, you can always come back here to find your place. For this layout, I adhered my photos onto the paper and then basically, I started adhering my die cuts on my photos, tucking some embellishments behind the photo to keep the layout from looking too flat. This is my absolute layout from this month. Since I ran out of space to include my journaling, I included my journaling on the photo. Yes, it’s not perfect, but no layout is complete for me without journaling!

And here’s another layout with three photos in color. Notice how I applied the die cuts similar to the first layout. I love die cuts and I use them often to fill in white space.

And because I have to use at least one black and white photo this month, here’s another layout that I created. Whenever I am stuck on a layout, I will scrap in a grid. It’s so simple and easy to do!

Now, hop along and see what our design team and subscribers have been working on.
