It’s Messy and I Love It – Scrapbook Layout

Hey everyone!  I am back with another layout to share with you!  I am really excited about this one because I am using a new stamp set from Precious Remembrance Shop called Happy Art that Clique Kits now carries!  We I received the email with this new stamp release I just knew we had to add this to the shop!  I love a stamp set that can be used in many ways and this is one of those stamps!  I knew I wanted to create a background with this stamp set for my layout with some fun and bright colors!  I dove into my stash of Tim Holtz Distress Inks and pulled out 3 of my favorites..Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Squeezed Lemonade!  I also pulled out my April Clique Kit along with a beautiful teal paper from Bella Blvd Illustrated Faith that matches not only the ink but also the papers I pulled from the kit!

I am documenting this photo of myself and my crazy and wild curly hair.  I had recently cut it very short and this was the first time I had not worn it straight and it looked even shorter and a little messy but I do love it!

This layout was so fun to put together and I really hope you like it!  Creating your own background is a great way to stretch your kits!  I am having so much fun with this stamp set and kit I can not wait to share what else I have created!

To see my process please check out my video below!  The Happy Art stamp set is still available in the Clique Kits shop as well as the April 2016 kit!  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and enjoy your day!

For the Love of Cards – Clique Kits Spring Card Kit

I am back today to share a couple cards I created using the Clique Kits Spring Card kit!  This kit features the On Trend 2 collection from My Minds Eye designed by the very talented Jen Allyson!  I am so in love with everything that comes in this kit including the Honey Bee Stamps stamp set!  Just a little FYI this stamp set is sold out and right now the only place to purchase it is with this kit!

I love making cards but it has been such a long time since I actually sat and made some so it felt really good to create these with the card kit!  Once I started making the cards I had so many other card design ideas pop in my head and I can not wait to get them made!  The two cards I am sharing today are very simple cards but I love how they turned out!

I hope you enjoyed my cards today!  If you are interested in the Spring Card kit you can check it out HERE!  To see my process please check out my video below!  Thanks so much for stopping and stay tuned for more cards using the Clique Kits Spring Card kit!

The Crew – Sketch Challenge with Oh Snap Gonzo

Hello everyone!  I am here to share a layout with you today using the Hello Heather collection by Pretty Little Studio!  You can find a lot of the products I used in the Clique Kits shop!  I did pick up some of the Hello Heather pieces from the Pretty Little Studio Shop!  I am using a sketch today for inspiration and doing this challenge with Oh Snap Gonzo.  I used sketches when I am feeling low on the crafty mojo!  I have a Pinterest board called A Little Sketchy that has some of my favorite sketches and I add to it often!

The sketch has three photos but I decided to use one 4×6 on my layout!  I love how simple this sketch is and kept my layout pretty close to the sketch as I could.

I love all the bits of black in this collection and anything with polka dots is a plus for me!  The photo I used is of my and Sandra and our daughters when they came up to visit us just recently!  We had a great time and the girls were so glad to finally meet in person!  They had recently been talking via text message and video messenger!  It was so cute to hear them talking and when they finally did see each face to face it was like a movie as they ran up together with open arms and gave each other a big hug!  It is amazing the people you meet in this community and because of my love for scrapbooking I have a friendship with someone who I would have probably never met if it was not for this hobby of mine!

I did add some of the new Bella Blvd enamel hearts to my layout and you can pick them up in the Clique Kits shop!  They are so perfect I just love them and want them in every color!

I hope you enjoy my layout and give this sketch a try!  If you decide to try out this sketch please tag me on social media cause I would love to see it!  To see my process check out my YouTube video below!  Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful day!
