Make Today Amazing!

Hello & welcome back…Dani here today to share my most recent 12×12 page with you.  Today I wanted to feature the 2016 October Clique Kit using the softer colors (basically without using the blue).  This page is of me & my girl friends at a Rascal Flatts concert.  We had such a good time, I knew I had to document the event.

I wanted to try this technique I saw Missy Whidden use on one of her YouTube videos.  I didn’t have transparency sheets, so I used some acetate I bought a while back to make shaker cards…It worked PERFECTLY!! 🙂

I used Heidi Swapp‘s Color Shines, in the colors; Patina, Blush, Gold Lame & Coral.  So excited about it..its such a cool new technique that looks really awesome on scrapbook layouts & cards.  I’m just so thrilled with how it turned out!

Here’s a few more close-ups of my layout using the 2016 October Clique Kits:

I inked the edges with my gold Delicata ink from Tsukineko, of some of the exclusive 3x4s & 4x6s cards included in the kit.  I also made a hidden pocket at the top of my page to hold my journaling.

I cut a few stars out on my cuttlebug..yes I know its old school, but use the products & tools you have, no matter how new or old they may seem.  What’s that saying?  Everything that’s old is NEW again.  I truly believe in using what you have…ultimately it will make your layouts feel new & fresh all over again!!  I added some black ink splatters to finish off the layout…here’s a look at my completed layout:

Thank you so much for spending a few minutes of your day here with me…I know time is very precious, & I so appreciate it!!  I hope you will stop by Clique Kits today & check out these amazing products.

Big Hugs~Dani

Yearbook – Hello

Hello, It’s Leeann with you today, I hope you all are well and have been busy crafting after checking out the cliques blog each day. How amazing are all the inspiring projects that pop up. I hope you are in love with this months kit, I am! So today I am sharing this page with you. Today’s focus was all about scrapping more than one photo. I scrap heaps of one photo pages. But sometimes I have lots of pics from a special event or outing. This page  makes my heart happy as it features my family and my beautiful friends from Western Australia. We recently moved state and I just don’t get to see my best friends that I’ve known for a long time! So this is us hanging out in Melbourne seeing the sights. We all had so much to talk about and the kids loved seeing there old school buddies too!

 

So because I had lots of photos I wanted to be a little more creative with this one and because I am a circle kind of girl I chose to create a circle grid. Before I added my photos and embellishments  I added a splash of color using my watercolour paints. Waited for them to dry and proceeded to back each circle with pattern papers and other embellishments from the Tapestry kit.

 

 

and here are a few detail shots. You will notice I layered lots of the embellishments and sprinkled the mini hearts like confetti. Added some doodling around each circle for extra detail.

 

 

So if this is a design you would like to try, it offers the opportunity to scrap lots of photos and some creative journaling spots.

Can’t wait to see your take on this design.

Happy Recording!
