Hey Guys!  Jill Keller with you today and I am so happy to be doing a guest spot with Clique Kits this month, special thanks to everyone on the CK team for having me!

My first creation is a 12×12 layout using the gorgeous papers and exclusive pocket page cards from Clique Kits.  One of my favorite things about the monthly kits are the exclusives, and the December kit is packed with tons of amazing pieces!  I used two of the cards to mat my 4×4 photo.

Adore those page tabs by CK, so I added a couple of them to my photo layers.  I also stitched the acetate piece straight on my photo, and added a second acetate piece below my photo as another layer.

For the layout background I cut a large piece of those gorgeous butterflies and adhered it to white cardstock, then used silver thread to sew it near the paper seams.  The contrast between the dark blue/black patterned paper and the white is so striking, and it really makes that beautiful pink pop!

Word stickers are a favorite embellishment and the exclusives in this month’s kits are fabulous!  They make the perfect accent for my layout.

After scattering the word stickers down the page I added my title and stitched through it, also adding a flair badge on a silver thread nest as part of the title.

I used black and white inks to finish the layout.  There are so many fun colors in the December kits but I focused on black, white, pink and blue on this page, making this baby photo of my girl really stand out.

Thanks so much for stopping by the Clique Kits blog today!
