'SNAP' - Lydia

Good morning scrappy friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and that you have all received your new "Olivia" kits.

Today I am sharing another 12x12 layout using the last kit called "Willow". I love this kit as it has such bright fun colours. So here is my layout, featuring some hexagons.

 

 

 

These Thinkers in the "Willow" kit are stunning, I love them so much. They are just perfect to give the layout a little bit of sparkle.

 

 

I had a lot of fun picking out the patterned paper for the hexagons. Once I had worked out the placement of each one I picked a few to hand stitch around with just some white embroidery thread.

 

 

Of course I made some clusters around the layout. This cluster below has some thin embroidery thread as well as one of the pretty charms from the 'Good Vibes' Crate Paper collection which is feature in these kits, some enamel dots and that gorgeous bird ephemera from the ephemera pack. It's the bird the cutest?

 

 

I used the stamp set from the "Good Vibes" collection that is in the kit as well to add a bit of a feature to where there was some plain space on the layout. And I love that typewriter font too.

 

 

And another little cluster.

 

 

 

Overall I had some fun making this layout and I hope you are inspired to finish the weekend with some creative time.

 

Have a great day Lydia xxx

 

 

Cute tags created with the "Willow" kit

Hi there 

Lisa here today to share a fun project using the "Willow" kits,

There were so many cute elements in these kits - I thought I'd have a go at making some tags.

It's a great project to do if you're lacking a bit of mojo. You don't really need a plan - just the supplies to hand, then it all seems to come together.

Once I had started the first one my creativity just kept flowing. These tags will make a good addition to my stash for gifts or happy mail.

I used some die cut tags from the die cut 12x12 page and I cut some of my own tags from the patterned paper.

I used various elements to decorate them, stickers, ephemera, washi tape, cork stars, bling - all from the kits & I punched some shapes with scraps.

Some close ups of the detail...

More close ups...

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hep you've enjoyed my share. Pop over to the shop to check out our kits & other goodies available.

12 x 12 Scrapbook Layout using the "Willow" kits

Hi there 

Lisa here today to share a layout using the "Willow" kits.

These kits are certainly one of my faves with all the gorgeous Crate Paper "Good Vibes" collection.

The pom pom trim frames & the super fun embellishments are perfect for these snap chat photos.

Using layers of tags & frames angled is a great way to draw attention to your photos while still keeping everything cohesive - so it doesn't look out of place.

Here are some close up of the detail...I punched some tiny hearts out of the patterned paper - which went really well with the spray of gems.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you've enjoyed my share.

Traveler's Notebook Layout with the fun Willow Kits!

Hello again my crafty friends! Cathi back again with traveler's notebook layout to go inside my notebook insert I decorated last week! This one is bright, playful and fun and uses lots of goodies from the Willow kits, starting with the base "Life Goals" paper from the Crate Paper Good Vibes collection that is the focus of the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK). I love the bright yellow and fern patterns.

I've used loads of goodies from the different kits.  I used the polka dotted "All Good" paper from the TSK which I layered under my photo. The fun times die cuts were also from the TSK.  I used the stamps from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK) to stamp "awesome" and "my people" on a piece of ephemera from the TSK.  I added a cactus puffy sticker from the Bits and Pieces Kit (BPK) for a bit of fun.and then some cardstock sticker (star, words and starburst) from the PLK.

In this close up you can see more of the ephemera from the BPK and stamps from the PLK.

I love how my TN layout turned out, so bright and cheerful and full of goodies from the Willow kits. I hope you like the project 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.  I'll be back next week with another project!

Planner Goodies with the gorgeous Willow Kits!

Hello again my crafty friends! Cathi back again with some planner goodies using the gorgeous Willow Kits. I have a B6 Traveller's Notebook so made some notebook covers and a folder to go into my gorgeous planner. I also added some clips from the kit as bookmarks and a charm from the kit as a charm on my planner (scoll down to see those!) this kit is great for planners as well as all the cards and layouts I've been making too!  These kits are chock full of the gorgeous Crate Paper Good Vibes collection.

I'm still loving these fun pompom frames that came in the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK) I added a cardstock sticker from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK) "You Do You" and added the puffy cacti sticker from the Bits and Pieces Kit (BPK) on top of the frame.  The paper I used for the notebook cover is the Fresh paper from the Crate Paper Good Vibes collection.

This is the folder that I made with the collection using the Passion paper from the Good Vibes collection.  The stamp and bird stickers are all cardstock stickers from the PLK.  The dream big ephemera and the Kaisercraft pink rhinestones are from the TSK.

My final notebook cover for the B6 is using the yummy All Good paper in the collection.  I used the "it's all good" and "inspired daily" ephemera are from the TSK and the cardstock circle and February stickers are from the PLK.

Here you can see the charm that I made to hang on the traveller's notebook from the TSK!

Here are the two clips I took from the BPK. They are perfect to use as planner bookmarks!

I also did several dashboards for my micro wallet using the Willow kits!! I used a combination of puffy stickers from the BPK and cardstock stickers from the PLK.  The papers were all from the PLK 3x4 card collection from Crate Paper Good Vibes.

My final photo shows a DIY I did for this Traveler's Notebook. Like the one I did for the B6 I took the charm from the kit and made it as a charm clip to hang on the TN. I just love how it turned out.

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.  I'll be back next week with another project!

"Wish" Project Life Spread with Lisa

Hi there

Lisa here today to share a project life spread using the gorgeous "Willow" kits.

My daughter & I both love Cactus images - so this collection is perfect to scrap some of her photos.

Being 19 she barely lets me get a photo of her these days - Birthdays & Christmas I can usually sneak in a few.

I used lots of different things from the kits, the cut aparts, ephemera & gorgeous teal glitter thickers all go so beautifully together.

The Crate Paper frames are so pretty & full of bling - they helped me easily create a stunning title card.

The bling is a great way to accentuate the cards to help bring everything together.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have enjoyed my share today.

Make sure you check out our fabulous kits in the shop.

"Love this" layout with Lisa using the "Willow" kits

Hi there

Lisa here today - sharing a 12x12 layout using the "Willow" kits.

This kit is so full of Crate Paper goodness! The collection is called "Good Vibes"

It is full of cute elements, I particularly love the Cacti & house images oh & the llamas lol

As always Ronelle has done a fabulous job putting the kits together - ensuring we get a great combination of goodies to create with...the sequin mix & washi samples are always my favourite.

The paper with all the tiny houses is perfect for fussy cutting.

So I cut lots & layered them until I was happy with the placement.

I also added lots of the pretty stickers & ephemera to help it all look more cohesive - rather than just little houses randomly stuck on the background.

Some bling & gold colour shine splatters to help bring it all together further.

I hope you've enjoyed my share today.

Make sure you pop over to the shop & check out our kits.

'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.

"Beautiful Heart" Layout with Lisa

Hi there, Lisa here today to share a 12x12 Scrapbooking layout with you.

I have used the gorgeous "Blair" kits - these kits are packed with lots of Crate Paper goodness (definitely one of my faves) 

I scrapped an old photo of my Nan & i at my Deb ball. I was very close to my Nan - she passed 19 years ago now, I still really miss her.

I have always hated having my photo taken, but I am so happy I have this one.

As you can see I did quite a bit of fussy cutting of the gorgeous flowers. I knew that I was going to base the layout on these flowers while co-ordinating the pink & greens with the colour palette in the photo.

Once I decided on my photo & had a rough plan of the papers I was going to use - I thought I would soften the white cardstock background by using the Perfect Pearls powder that came in the Colour kit.

I sprayed some water on some cellophane packaging then dropped a few specks of powder in the water to create almost a shimmery watercolour. I dabbed the packaging all over the cardstock - then put my paint brush in the colour & flicked more around the page. It helped create a really soft pretty look. I have sharpened & brightened this image so you can get a closer look.

I layered quite a few of the patterned papers & a doily behind the photo & mounted it all on foam tape for dimension.

I added lots of detail by using the puffy stickers, tiny word stickers, sequins, washi tape & a label sticker from the kits. 

Ronelle has once again done a fabulous job co-ordinating all the goodies.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
