LIFE IS LOVELY

 

Hi there!  Danni here again today, to share one of my latest 12×12 scrapbook layouts with you.  I used mostly the February Clique Kit, Bee You.  This kit features the Hazelwood collection by One Canoe Two and turned out to be one of my favorite kits since I joined the Clique Kit Design Team!  It’s just absolutely Stunning!

I’m seriously over the moon with how this page turned out of me & my good friend, Brandi.  We went to an Amy Tan (Tangerine) class at our local scrapbook store; Paper Tales, here in San Diego.  Here’s a few close-ups of the layout:

I fell in love with the cork embellishments and the butterfly rub-ons.  I WANT MORE OF THEM…haha!! 🙂  I also used a few of the ephemera pieces and some of the chipboard from the Hazelwood collection.  The chipboard was an Add-On you could purchase in the Clique Store.  Another embellishment I quickly decided was perfect to add to my page, was the triangle enamel shapes.  I used them the same way you would typically use photo corners..I love the pop of color & dimension it gives to the layout.

Here is another close-up of my page:

To finish things off, I cut a banner from one of the cut-apart sheets, added the navy & white polka dot strip above my title (also from cut-apart) & added the word “FRIENDS” with some Maggie Holmes gold letter stickers from my stash.

Here’s my completed layout…hope you like it, half as much as I do!?

Thank you sooo much for stopping by today…I hope I have inspired you to use your Clique Kits for ALL your crafting needs!!

Crazy Fun

Hi there & welcome back!  Dani here again today to share another 12×12 layout with you using the Sapphire,  October Clique Kit.  I really wanted to make a page using some of the positive inspirational quotes and phrases in the kit.  The cut-apart sheet from Simple Stories, Posh really caught my eye.  I immediately knew which photos I wanted to scrap of my son, Dominic. Don’t you just love when that happens!?

Here’s a few close-ups of my layout:

 

I just fell in love with this quote and couldn’t wait to add it to my page!  I also decided to do a little bit of mixed media again, so I used my Dreamscicle Shimmerz and Melon Gelato by Faber Castell with the packaging technique.  Then I added some Heidi Swapp, Gold Lame, Color Shine splatters to complete the look I was going for.  I cut it up to use in my layers and to border the quote.  I purposely cut free hand to give it that not so perfect artsy look.

I love to add tangled thread in my embellishment clusters and sometimes behind the photos.  I love the texture that it gives to my pages.  I really liked the color blocking on the background paper by Simple Stories.  It really helped the design of my layout come together quickly.  To create more layers behind my photos, I used one of the awesome exclusive 4×4 cards that comes in the kit and some of the turquoise map paper from Simple Stories, Posh.

Of course, I had to use the beautiful flair…the saying was just too perfect for this layout!  I just really enjoyed creating this.  The embellishments are just amazing & endless in this kit.  And those leather alpha stickers by Pink Fresh Studio are to die for!  🙂

Here’s a look at my completed page.  Hope you like it as much as I do?
