Hello friends!  Candace back with you today to share a layout using this month’s sketch.  I knew when I saw this sketch I wanted to play with it.  I love the clean lines and geometric shapes.  With sketches like this the possibilities are endless as far as creating interesting & creative layouts!  Here is a look at the sketch.  We would love for you to play along and create a fun project or layout using the sketch too!

For my layout I used the Clique into December kit featuring the Snow & Cocoa line from Crate Paper.  I started the layout with white card stock.  Next, to create the triangle pieces, I cut 2 of the patterned papers to 6×6 inch squares and then down the center on a diagonal.  This gave me 4 equal triangles making putting together the shapes super simple!  I decided to simulate the white lines on my layout with stitching.

I wanted to add a little more interest to the layout but keep the light, soft feel of the spread.  I used embossing paste and a tiny star stencil to add subtle detail to the corners of the layout.

I let the paste dry over night then continued to create my layout by adding a photo stack using various papers and ephemera from the kit.

For the title I used the lovely large letters in the December kit along with the exclusive word & phrase stickers for the journaling.

The final touches included wood veneer snowflakes and stickers.  I just adore the final layout and the adorable memory that was captured and documented.

If you would like to play along the sketch do forget to link it up on the blog and tag us so we can swoon over your creation.  Also, make sure that you are a part of our Facebook page The Clique, this is where you can stay up to date on all things Clique Kits and share all your projects!

Have a beautiful day!

Clique Holiday Album Cover & Tag

2016-dd-cover-and-tag-1

 

Hello my dears! Previously I have shown you the inside cover of my December Album as well as many of the inside pages, but today I will show you the outside cover of my album and a little tag I made with the Clique Into the Holidays Kit as well.

2016-dd-cover-and-tag-2

First up, I layered a few pieces of ephemera and one of the chipboard stickers together and punched a hole in each (some had holes already). I added a few stickers and wrapped them all together using seam binding. I desperately wanted to add those poof balls to this tag so I ended up sewing them together using gold thread and then wrapping the excess gold thread around the seam binding to add some extra gold in there. Aren’t those little poofs so cute??!

2016-dd-cover-and-tag-3

Now typically people don’t decorate the covers of Traveler’s Notebooks but I REALLY wanted to decorate mine haha. So I did! There aren’t really rules, am I right?

2016-dd-cover-and-tag-4

Now I actually created this cover a LONGGGG time ago and I can honestly say it’s been totally fine!! Nothing has fallen off, ripped, broken… it’s been stacked and in a shelf and opened and closed a ton of times and it’s good!! And I love it. 🙂  The Clique into the Holidays kit is now sold out but we have a lot of holiday add ons still in the shop and we also have the Clique Cards holiday edition you can pick up HERE!

Thank you all for stopping by! I can’t wait for December to start so I can work the magic on this little guy!! Yay!! Much love all!

More of My Clique December Album

Hey everyone! I’m back to show you a little more of my prepped pages for my December Traveler’s Notebook. In my last post I showed you the inside cover and the first 3 pages of my album. Today I’m going to give you sneaks of a few more of my pages.

2016-dd-page-4

Above is page 4! Again, my goal is to keep things simple for now and just give myself a bit of inspiration and somewhere to start so when December rolls along, I won’t feel overwhelmed. The “Oh Deer” chipboard is from one of the Add-Ons in the Clique Kits Store.

2016-dd-page-5

Page 5! I’m really having fun with the transparencies in the ephemera set. Normally I shy away from them because they baffle me for some reason haha, but I really can’t wait to add more of these once I have photos ready to go!

2016-dd-page-6

How incredible are the pattern papers from the Snow & Cocoa collection?! I am obsessed. And the colors aren’t traditional but they are SO DANG CUTE!!!! This is page 6 🙂

2016-dd-page-7

And finally page 7! Another transparency (the snowflake) that I topped the bear tag with and a small and simple sentiment builder at the bottom of the next page.

Using a Traveler’s Notebook this year has been such a blessing for me. The small pages and not feeling obligated to fill pockets (I am not a pocket scrapbooker so I am not used to it!) has really freed my mind when creating. I found this to be a great tip to others who look at me with boggle eyes when I show them some of my past DD. Do what works for you! And don’t stop until you find exactly what that is! Because there is so much fun to be had and memories to be beautifully documented if you can only find what works for YOU. 🙂

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful week my friends!

Xo, Stephanie

Yearbook – Holiday memories

yearbook2

 

Hi everyone, Danielle here with you today! With Christmas around the corner, it is the most busy time of the year. I wanted to be ahead of things and already fixed a quick and easy mini album, so when Christmas is over I just need to add my pics. I used my Clique into the Holidays kit for this album.

You probably noticed the glassine bags in each kit, that hold the embellishments. I’ve been keeping some of the big ones and used them to make my mini album. You start folding them in half. Then you make holes on the folded line for the binding. With twine you bind your album like shown in the last picture.

I used the bigger Kaisercraft journaling cards for the front cover and every other page of the album. You need to crop them a little and round the corners again to make them fit. I used gold embossing powder with a variety of stamps throughout the album. All other pages where the photos will be placed, are embellished with a variety of papers and embellishments from the Clique into the Holidays kit.

Because the pages of the album are not very big, I will use instax pictures for this album. When the pictures are added, I will embellish the pages a little more where needed.

Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you all a wonderful Christmas!

Varied Page Sizes ~ Clique into the Holidays

Oh happy, happy first day of December!!  For many of us, holiday traditions are in full swing beginning today; Elf on the Shelf, 12 Days of Christmas, Advent, an annual Christmas tree hunt or just a good ‘ol fashion countdown to Christmas with your family!!  This season also brings us what has come to be known as the December Daily, which always seemed daunting and overwhelming to me.  It’s beautiful, don’t get me wrong.  I just cannot see myself documenting something for everyday.  So instead, Clique Kits has created their kit this year, Clique into the Holidays!!  This kit is truly, December your way and I love it!!  Here are some pages from my Clique into the Holidays mini album where I’ll be adding photos of us trimming the tree, baking cookies, pulling goodies out of our Advent Calendar, reading Christmas stories and more!  Here are a few close ups of the kit itself.

And here are some of my Clique into the Holidays album pages!  One thing I love to do in my mini albums is to vary my pages sizes and shapes to add lots of visual interest and texture.  Doing this really makes a mini album interesting, interactive and chunky!  The chunkier the better when it comes to mini albums, I say.
