Clique Kits March Blog Share

Posted in Amanda Rose Zampelli, American Crafts, blog share, Clique Kits, Cosmo Cricket, Doodlebug Designs, Kesi Art, scrapbooking, We R Memory Keepers by

Welcome to the Clique Kits March Blog Share!  If you have arrived from the Clique Kits blog then you are in the right spot!  This month we are sharing projects created with the March 2015 Clique Kit J’adodre.
This months kit features the beautiful Love Notes collection by We R Memory Keepers designed by Amanda Rose Zampelli.  Amanda was one of our March Designers in the Spotlight and you can read her full Q&A HERE.  
This months challenge was to add a pop of neon to our projects which was pretty simple with the We R Memory Keepers Clearly Bold additions to the kit!  I created two layouts to share today using this months kit.  For my first layout I also pulled out the Kesi Art Geometric Heart Die that is available in the Clique Kits Shop and cut out  a bunch of hearts from the beautiful paper in this kit!  This die cuts so nice and is one of my new favorite dies!

I added a few embellishments to some of the hearts  and added some black ink drops around the page and that was it.  I love how it turned out and I love the look of the die cut hearts!  My next layout is documenting my best friend and I.  The photo was taken about 4 years ago on my birthday and we were out celebrating!  We have always been party girls so I wanted to document this wild night we had!  The Clique Kits exclusive flair was the perfect wild touch to the layout and the bold patterns match our style perfectly!

Not only do we have the fabulous blog share we are also revealing our April 2015 kit!  Take a look at Happy Everything!

Stop by the Clique Kits shop to see what new products have been added this month!

Clique Kits February Blog Share and Giveaway

Posted in American Crafts, blog share, Clique Kits, Dear Lizzy by

Hello!  Welcome to the Clique Kits February blog share and giveaway!  You should have arrived from the Clique Kits blog but if you were just stopping for a visit you can start this blog share from the beginning HERE.  This month our kit featured the beautiful Serendipity collection from Elizabeth Kartchner also know as Dear Lizzy.  We featured Elizabeth this month and you can read the Q&A with her HERE.

I had a great time creating with this kit and today I have two layouts to share with you today using the February kit.

This first layout is documenting my daughters school photo.  I do not normally document these school photos but her outfit matched perfectly with this kit!  Plus I always end up with a ton of the wallet sized photos so I might as well put them in her scrapbook!  I love the simple and clean look of this layout.

My second layout is a 8.5×11 layout and this size layout has become my favorite!  The photo is an instax of Michael and I at the bowling alley.  He is my best friend and I would be lost without him!  I used one of the exclusive Clique Kits cut files to fill the top of my layout and added a few embellishments around the hearts.  I kept the embellishing and layers to a minimum and I just love how it turned out!

Remember to leave comments along the way to increase your chances of winning a February kit!  Your next stop along the way is Jody and the whole blog share line up is listed below!  Today is also reveal day of our March 2015 kit J’adore!  We would love to have you in The Clique so subscribe today and get $5.00 off your first add-on order!  Subscriptions are limited so act fast!  Enjoy the rest of the blog share and enjoy your day!

Clique Kits December Blog Share

Welcome to the Clique Kits December Blog Share.  You should have arrived from Jody’s blog but if you were just stopping for a visit you can start from the beginning HERE.  This month our kit features the beautiful collection from Heidi Swapp September Skies! 

I am in love with this kit and the Heidi Swapp collection because it can be used for both feminine and masculine projects.  With 4 boys and 1 girl I need a good mixture of both papers!  Heidi included some great pieces in this collection that are perfect for both!  I love that this kit included a stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop and the sequin stamps are fabulous!!  Here is a look at the layout I created using the December 2014 Enchanted Meadow kit!
I used the current sketch from Creative Scrappers as inspiration to get my layout going.  I love all their sketches and vising their site is so inspiring!  
The photo I used for this layout is of myself and my oldest son.  It was his Sophomore year Homecoming dance and I was beyond thrilled to see him all dressed up with a smile on his face!  We may not always agree on everything but this boy of mine has changed my life in more ways than he will ever know.  For this layout I did add some pink and floral along with a good punch of navy.  I love how it turned out and even he loved it!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Your next stop along the way is Lacey!  Make sure to comment along the way and let us know on the Clique Kits blog that you finished the hop for your chance to win the December kit!  Share our blog hop on your Facebook or any other social media and get an extra chance to win!  Just leave an additional comment on the Clique Kits blog!

Clique Kits June Blog Share

Posted in blog share, Chic Tags, Clique Kits, Heidi Swapp, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Lawn Fawn, layout, mini album, Pinkfresh Studio, scrapbooking by

Welcome to the June 2014 Clique Kits Blog Share!  This month we are featuring 2 fabulous paper collections in our kit and of coarse some amazing embellishments.  Heidi Swapp’s Favorite Things and DIY Boutique from Simple Stories.

If you have arrived from Jody’s blog then you are in the right place!  If you just stopped for a visit please click here and start the blog share from the beginning.  The challenge/theme for this month’s blog share was to share one or more of our favorite things either by photos, journaling or in the blog post.

So lets get to some of my favorites!  I have 2 projects to share and the first one is of my favorite crew, my kids!  They are my world and I am so blessed to have each and everyone of them!  They fill my heart with so much joy and love and at times heartache but I could not imagine my life without them!  Each one of them unique and different but I can see myself in each one of them.  Time sure does fly by so I document everything!  The big events in life but most of all the little moments that I do not want to forget!  Here is a snapshot of us(except for dad he was working)backing out of our driveway!  My oldest, Drake, looks back and then looks at me and says “Mom can you believe you have this many kids?”  My reply was, “Yes Drake I can believe it and I love it so lets take a selfie!”  He just laughed and snapped a quick pic!  This is one of my all time favorites!

I used the current sketch from Creative Scrappers and the June 2014 Clique Kit and had a lot of fun with these fun colors and patterns and I love the mix of black and white!  The Pinkfresh Studio embellishments,  Chic Tags acetate pieces and Clique Kits exclusives are a perfect combo to finish up my layout!

My next favorite is of coarse Mrs. Heidi Swapp herself!  She is the Julia Roberts of scrapbooking in my book!  One of my absolute favorite designers and I was lucky enough to take one of her class and meet her in person!  I drove almost 2 hours to see her at Hannah’s Home Accents in Antioch, IL and it was so much fun!  I decided to create a fun banner to document some of the photos and memories from this day.  This banner will be used as decor piece in my scrap room and when I am ready to take it down it will easily become a mini album!  It is nice to have these memories displayed for everyone to see!

I even added a little interactive piece on my banner to add another photo and some journaling.  Now for a look at what it looks like as a mini album!

I used the new Lawn Fawn Stitched Party Banners to create the mini album and I love how it turned out and how quick and easy it all came together!  I hope you enjoyed my projects sharing some of my favorites!  Remember to comment along the way and on the Clique Kits blog for your chance to win a $10.00 gift certificate to the Clique Kits shop!  Sign up to receive the Clique Kits newsletter and follow the CK blog for an extra chance to win!  Your next stop in the blog share is our very own Lacey and she has some amazing projects to share!  Here is the complete blog share list in case you get lost along the way.

Clique Kits May Blog Share

Posted in blog share, Clique Kits, Erica Thompson, Evolution, fancy pants designs, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, Lawn Fawn, layout, mini album, scrapbooking, We R Memory Keepers, WRMK by

Welcome to the May Pep Rally!  If you  have arrived from Jody’s blog then you are in the right place.  If you are just stopping for a visit please head on over to the Clique Kits blog and start the Pep Rally from the beginning.  This month we are featuring projects using the May 2014 Clique Kit Field Trip.  This kit features the line As You Wish by Fancy Pants Designs!

I wanted to play along with the sketch challenge from Fancy Pants Designs that is featured in their new newsletter!  In case you missed it our very own Gia Lau is the featured designer for their May newsletter so be sure to check it out HERE!  Here is a look at my layout using the sketch provided in the Fancy Pants newsletter.

For my next project I put together a mini album filled with photos of our youngest baby Eli James and his many adventures.  The cover photo was just taken yesterday as we were leaving the doctors office.  He is getting so big he likes to walk on his own now and carry his own bag like a big boy!  I had to photograph this time and document it.  Time goes by way to fast and I want to remember every bit of it!  If you have been to my blog before you know how much I love to make minis!  I used the new We R Memory Keepers Evolution machine to die cut some of the papers from the kit for the pages of my album.  The machine came with some great dies that were perfect to create my pages.  Next all I needed to do was add some layers, my photos and embellish my pages!

Thanks so much for spending some time with me today!  You next stop is Lacey and you are going to love what she has to share with you!  Remember to leave comments along the way, follow the Clique Kits blog and Facebook for your chance to win the Wish You Were Here stamp set by Lawn Fawn and a roll of green chevron washi tape!
