Locker Room – Graphic Heart

Hello Clique kit fans, Leeann here today sharing another fabulous page created with the Alegria kit featuring Fancy Pants Designs – Happy Place! today I wanted to share with you this graphic heart,  made from cutting  squares into triangles. Graphic shapes are on trend and this heart, well what can I say it’s a winner in my books and so easy to create.  And if you own a square punch why not use that and make smaller size hearts to embellish your pages.

The possibilities are endless.

So lets get started I first sketched and ruled this graphic heart shape out so that you have something to work from!

Start by selecting your papers from the Alegria kit. I cut 3″x 3″ squares for this page. Then simply cut each square thru the middle  leaving you with 2 triangles.

Once you are done cutting you can place them on your background card-stock. It fills the background perfectly! Adhere  in place. I added each detail by cutting a few more triangles from scraps and layered them for more dimension and texture.  I also added some machine stitching and  a little watercolor paint.

The next step was to finish the page off by adding your photo and title and hidden journaling.

and here’s the finished layout and a few close up shots.

“Today was awesome and fantastic”

 

Thank you for popping by today, I hope that you give this a try and you could share this with us at the January pep rally on the 20th.

That would be fun!

Yearbook: Documenting Simple Life Facts

Hello!! Caroli here and today I want to show you a project I made using my January Kit Alegria.

For me, scrapbooking is all about documenting life, simple things and also important facts or milestones. In this case, I made this layout for documenting a simple but yet important fact: my little girl loosing 2 teeth at the same time! It’s something quite natural but so important at the same time. Also, we’ll have a good laugh when she’s a teenager and take a look at this pic, LOL!

Here is my layout:

As you can see, I used one of the exclusive cut files designed for this kit, I love butterflies and grids, so when I saw this cut file I cut it in several sizes and colors, I plan to use it a lot!
I filled some of the spaces with patterned papers and left some other empty, and in order to have more color and variety, I put the whole shape of the butterfly behind in a different paper and folded the cut butterfly, I loved the effect.

For my title I used the word “smile” from the Fancy Pant’s Puffy Scrip Word set included on the add-ons of the kit, and complement it using some Bella Blvd. alphas I got left from December kit.

I balanced the composition with the journaling, which I wrote using one circular labels, some flowers from the ephemera package, both included on the kit.

And that was my layout, a simple memory documented for the future 🙂 I hope you liked the idea and use the butterfly cut file too!  Big hugs and have a lovely day ❤

Geek Lab – Embellishments making and layering.

Hello Clique Fans, its Leeann here today. I cant wait to share this project with you all. I’m using the January 2016 Alegria Kit featuring Fancy Pants Designs  – Happy Place!

I decide to pull out a few of my punches and team them up with the Fancy Pants Designs Happy Place Ephemera pack, Clique Kits: Journal Cards, flair, hemp twine and a few of the Fancy Pants Designs pattern papers. I wanted to get stuck into these packs and make an embellishment full of dimension and layers.

Let take a peek at my project.

“smile / sweet”

 Start by selecting  a few of the tabs, tags, arrows etc from the Fancy Pants Designs ephemera pack and a few from the Clique Kits journal pack and  lay them out. Cut a few 1″ strips from the pattern papers.

Next select a few punches.

Punch out a few shapes from the pattern papers. Now all you need to do is start layering the strips of pattern papers and  punched shapes, adding bits of the ephemera at the same time. Once you are happy with your placement staple. You can add more by cutting the tags in haft, adding glue to the ends and slide them in and under. Don’t forget to fan the layers, use your fingers to lift each piece. So that you see the layers.

and the end result!

I hope today was fun and you go and make a few of these for your next project. They are great on any type of project too. Thank you for popping in today and I look forward in sharing more creative things with you soon!

 

 

Yearbook – Remember…

Hello, its Leeann here with you today. I am so happy with this page and the little memory notes I jotted down. It wasn’t that long ago that we sold this farm and moved state. I have so many photos to scrap and memories to record. The yearbook is all about documenting and preserving those memories. And here’s a great way to do this, why not print your photos mini and group them on your page.

I’m using the January Alegria kit, featuring Fancy Pants – Happy Place collection.

I was inspired by the mini film strips in the Fancy Pants Ephemera Pack and the Clique Kits Journal Spots. Once I decided on my design.  I jumped straight in, as it was simple. I wanted each of the mini squares to have texture so I created layers using pattern papers from the Fancy Pants collection. I couldn’t help but fall in love with all those puffy stickers too, seriously how awesome are they! I jotted a few of the things we did, there’s way more of course!

“Beautiful happy life”

Here’s a couple of detailed shots, showing you the layers. Once I have the layers sorted I then add my embellishments!

and finally I like to use  my fingers to crinkle and lift each layer!

Well I hope today has been of some inspiration  to you. If you have a few tiny photos maybe you would like to try this design and jot those memories down. Its quick and a lot of fun. I look forward in sharing more projects with you soon.
