More Cards and Planner Goodies with my Violet Kits!


Hello scrappy friends!! Cathi back again! I am back again this week with some more cards and planner projects to finish off my Violet kits while I wait for the Willow kits to land here in Ireland!  I really love how everything turned out and can't believe how many projects I was able to do with this kit. I am really looking forward to the next kit and what I can make with it!


For my first card in the set, I used the Beautiful Mess paper from the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK).  The Violet kits are chock full of the Cocoa Vanilla Bohemian Dream collection. I layered a scrap of paper from the collection and then added the tag and flower ephemera from the TSK.  I added the gorgeous chipboard butterfly sticker from the Bits & Pieces Kit (BPK) and finished the card off with the beautiful heart stickers from the TSK


For my second card I used a piece of the gorgeous cardstock from the kit and layered it with the Beautiful Mess paper and another layer of the cardstock.  I used the ephemera from the TSK and the chipboard sticker flower from the BPK. I finished the card off again with the heart stickers from the TSK.


For my final card with the kit I have used the Beautiful Mess paper again for the base and another scrap of paper to layer on it. I used some ephemera form the TSK and the diamantes from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK) and chipboard word stickers from the BPK.


This year I am using a B6 traveler's notebook for my journaling and planning and I decided I needed some notebook covers and folders for it and made some gorgeous projects using the Bohemian Dreams papers!


For this notebook I used the gorgeous Abstract paper from the TSK, the moments cutout from the PLK and the chipboard sticker from the BPK.  The ephemera frame and butterfly and tab as well as the heart stickers are from the TSK.

This is the folder I made for my notebook, I love having pockets in the traveler's notebook for stickers and other loose bits, and a pretty folder is even better!  I used the Kaleidoscope paper from the TSK. I love the weathered wood on the outside of the folder but the inside has the gorgeous kaleidoscope of colors!  I used the vellum ephemera and heart stickers from the TSK, the cardstock sticker from the PLK and the chipboard butterfly from the BPK.


For this notebook cover, I used the Flower Child paper from the TSK. The chipboard stickers come from the BPK, the ephemera and hear stickers from the TSK and the cardstock stickers from the PLK.


I also have a micro sized traveller's notebook that I use for a wallet and I had great fun doing dashboards and a folder

For this tiny little dashboard I used the Beautiful Mess paper again as the backdrop, along with a piece of ephemera nd heart stickers, all from the TSK.


This tiny little folder can hold some credit cards, bank cards or even some cash. I made it from the Gypsy Heart paper from the TSK and added a chipboard sticker from the BPK and ephemera and puffy stickers from the TSK.

For my final dashboard I used the x paper, along with some ephemera and stickers from the TSK.

I hope you like the projects I have made for this week! These kits are so full of goodness and can work with so many different types of projects! I hope that you will come and have a look at the kits and consider subscribing!!  You can find the subscriptions HERE.  My new Willow kit is on the way and I am hoping to have projects to show by next week! See you soon!!

'me.' Layout - Lydia

Hello Scrappery friends, Lydia here finally back sharing for 2018. 2018 is going to be a big year, as I enter my final year of schooling in Grade 12 and getting ready for my future which will defiantly still include creating.

I'm so excited to have started the year with the gorgeous 'Willow' Kits to create with. I'm so in love with all the bright colours in the kits featuring the Crate Paper collection 'Cool Vibes'. So to start off the year I'm sharing a 12x12 traditional layout using the 'Willow' kits.

 
Now when I first opened my kits my eye was caught on the bright colours but also the little ampersands that I found in the ephemera pack which made me cut some out of the patterned papers in the TSK  as the made feature of the layout. I also hand stitched around a few of the ampersand which you will see in some of the close up images.
 
 

I absolutely love the colours in these kits, their just sooooo me!!
This layout was ended up turning into a page about me and just being and loving  myself hence why I used the shiny gold glitter Thickers which can be found the 'Willow' PLK.

 
I am all about self love so when  saw this ephemera piece I fell in love with it and knew I had to use it with a photo of myself. In this image you can also see one of the ampersands that I hand stitched around.
 
 
Now you all know I love my clustes of embellishments so I did them next two 3-4 ampersands using little pieces from the ephemera pack as well as in one of the clusters using one of the beautiful charms which had a cactus on it. I than finished the clusters with a few little rhinestones.
 
 
 
I did add a few little stamped sentiments using the stamp set from the 'Cool Vibes' collection.
 
 
 
I hope you have all received your 'Willow' kits by now and are enjoying creating with them as much I have been. Make sure to be sharing your creations using all the kits over on the Facebook Group too.

 
I hope you all have a lovely week adhered and I will be back soon with another project.
