TSK BELLA ~ HUSKY LOVE ~ KAYLA

Hi guys. It 's Kayla here with another layout post for you. This time using TSK Bella again from our lovely February kits. I actually thought I was done with the kits and then I had printed out this picture of me hugging a husky at a local fair. I rarely scrapbook pages with me in them and I thought it was about time and anyone that knows me knows that I absolutely love dogs.

I think it's kind of funny..we have Nae our cat lover, Adele the bunny lover and me the puppy lover!

So anyway these gorgeous papers and embellishments were left over from the kit and so I put together this layout and I love how it turned out...

 I even managed to film a process video for this one. It's on my own personal channel which you
can get to by clicking the link.



and now for some close ups...

I used some of the lovely grey foam thickers left over from Juliette the PLK kit. These are just stunning and I think I have found a new love for foam thickers recently.

I also added some stitching using my sewing machine. I usually use a straight stitch but I decide to mix things up a little and add some zig zag stitching. I also used my Tim Holtz picked raspberry distress stain that I have been obsessed with and used on every layout this month I think.

So that's it for my last layout using the kit.
This has been one of my favourite kits in a very long time.

I hope if you managed to get your hands on one that you have enjoyed having a play.

We actually also have some February BPK kits left in the store and they are reduced by ten dollars. They won't last long so be quick!!

TSK BELLA ~ W & S ~ SOPHIE

Hello hello! Oh my goodness, these kits are full of so much love! So many hearts, pinks and reds and the word 'love' that I decided I had no choice but to continue to document it. This time I'm scrapbooking this photo from my uncles wedding. I just love the contrast in this picture. So perfect for scrapbooking. 

That Aztec printed paper was by far my favourite in to the kit so I wanted to feature it a little more on this layout. I added some texture paste over it to mute it a little and blend it into the white cardstock.  I then applied some extra paste and some Heidi Swapp Colour Shine over my dotted Heidi Swapp mask. And of course I had to finish it off with some ink splatters. 

I also added some tiny rub-ons from the BPK amongst the splatters which really added something extra to the layout. 

As well as products from the two kits I also used some washi tape and some We Are Memory Keepers transparency behind my photo. Not that I needed to. I still have so much more of Bella and Valerie left over. What about you?

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. 

I hope you love the new March kit's as much as I do. Can't wait to start playing with them.

Talk to you soon,

PLK JULIETTE ~ WEEK 8 ~ KAYLA

Hi it's Kayla here and I want to share my first Project Life spread using the February kits but mostly using the PRETTY LITTLE KIT ~ JULIETTE! Firstly I want to start out by saying I scrapped a spread that wasn't love themed in the lovey dovey valentines type of way. I have scrapbooked about how much I love my son, how much I love my coffee, how much I loved a day out with the family. There are so many things to love and that is why this kit is so versatile. 

This was my WEEK 8 in my 2015 Project Life album. Yay! for being up to date Well I was when I scrapped this spread anyway. 

Here's the process video showing you how this spread came together.

and some close ups...

I had a couple too many photos for this spread but not that many that I needed an extra insert so I use my Snap! 3x4 flip pockets to add some extra cards/photos underneath to give me that little extra space. Underneath this photo I used another photo of my son sitting on one of the fibreglass cows and journalling about out little adventure.

Another flip pocket however this time it documents some fun in the sun! This is probably the last time my son has been outside for water play since the cold has set in.  It also gives you a close up of the filler card I made using those three hearts. I was inspired by the little conversation heart brads to make this filler using some word stickers from the sticker sheet!

My weekly tile card. I used some Picked Raspberry Distress Stain to create a 'splatter' ad added a simple floral diet cut, some pebbles heart epoxy stickers and the title plus I used my favourite Heidi Swapp date stamp.

I found these LOVE scrabble tiles in the die cut pack and I thought they fitted well right over the centre of the photos stitched down. I documented about my love for coffee. It is not unusual for me to have over 10 cups a day. Eek!

Here's a look at the top right corner. I used the top right card as a little filler/journalling card and opted for some handwritten journalling for this one which I think makes it even that little bit more special. I also really like the filler card I made on that gorgeous black arrow card, I used one of those pretty gold foiled vellum hearts!

And one last little look at the page.

I hope you enjoyed see another project I have created with the kits.

Much love,

TSK BELLA ~ BECAUSE I'M HAPPY ~ ADELE

Hello hello!

Today I have a 12x12 process video of a layout I showed in my last blog post and kill a kit video.

This layout was one of my favs that I made from the Bella TSK, titled "Because I'm Happy." Another for the wedding album, yay!

I used two different heart punches to cut out a bunch of different hearts from the Kiss Kiss collection by Crate Paper to mimic confetti.

I added some gold Colour Shine mist and gelatos to create a soft background for this layout, then added my photo (layered on a piece of packaging from the kit hehe!) and a few pieces from the Kiss Kiss Ephemera Pack.

After adding some of the alphas from the kit, some thickers from mys stash and these GORGEOUS gold XOXO from TSK Bella, I was done!

I love this layout for many reasons, mainly because the photo is so dear to me and also that I tried something new! I had never used my punches for a repetitive feature on a layout - usually I only grab them to cut out one shape at a time.

This week, I encourage try something new with your kits...what will you try?!

Have a lovely week!
xxx Adele

TSK BELLA & BPK VALERIE ~ BEST FRIENDS FOR EVER ~ SOPHIE

Hello, hello! I'm back today with another layout using the gorgeous TSK, Bella. I also used some bits and pieces from the Bits and Pieces Kit. I used more photos of my cousins as I had some left over from my previous layout. There were so many great photo's taken that day that there was no way I could include them all on one layout.

I wanted to keep it quite simple so I just used die-cuts from the ephemera pack and washi tape behind my photos. The ephemera pieces were the perfect size to matte my photos, like I mentioned in my previous post. I also used quite a few hearts from the pack in the Scrappery Kit to embellishment my layout. You can can pick it up in the store here if you missed getting you hands on a kit.

As well as pieces from the kits I have also included some products from the shop including some cute little alphas from Elle's Studio and some washi tape. So much extra goodness in the store so make sure you check it out.

I couldn't resist using some of these super cute rub-ons from the BPK. They are the perfect finishing touch and are so easy to apply. Like, really easy so be careful when deciding where to put them on your layout because you don't want them to transfer where you don't want them.

Make sure you check out the process video I created below from more details on how I created it!

Thanks for stopping by,

TSK BELLA ~ FOR LIKE EVER ~ KAYLA

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post by me (Kayla) sharing another project made with the beautiful kits. I decided to jump outside my comfort box again and give an 8.5x11 layout a go. I have only done a couple of these and have actually really enjoyed the process. There is less space to work with, but that's ok! I have also used an 8x10 photo and then cut down the edges to make it work on my layout. I absolutely adore this picture of my son taken when he was just three months old! Getting close to a year ago now! I knew I wanted to make it the feature and I didn't mind adding the pops of pink because it was all about LOVE.

Here is the process video showing how I put it together. 

'

I loved the 'XO' from the Dear Lizzy Serendipity collection. These were in the BPK kit ~ VALERIE. They matched the page perfectly though and were a great addition. As was the beautiful copper butterfly charm also from BPK from the Pink Paislee Bella Rouge collection. To be honest I have realised I have used a lot of the BPK kit on this page but I just couldn't resist...the embellishments were so great!

I really loved this title from the Dear Lizzy Serendipity range. These phrases came with the TSK kit and I really felt that this phrase was appropriate to this layout and I really will love him forever unconditionally. I really love that these phrase stickers are foam. Makes them easier to apply and they stick a lot better than the chipboard ones.

This one little last sneak at my layout shows my stamping attempts in the top right corner. I am attempting to use my stamps more this year and I am not a natural stamper I must admit.

I hope you enjoyed a look at another one of my layouts.

Much love,

TSK BELLA & BPK VALERIE ~ YOU SHINE GIRL ~ CHARM

OH my! Every time I receive my kits from The Scrappery I am always blown away. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

And, this time... I was blown TOTALLY away! Oh my goodness! IN LOVE!

I went crazy with the layering - because... why not... so many beautiful embellishments - vellum, gold, acetate... rubbing... everything that I LURVE>>>>

The Alphas from BPK Valerie are to DIE FOR!!!

GOLD... & VELLUM! What more could you want?

This is the first time I have machine stitched over Acetate alphas and it was way to easy - not too thick that it jammed my sewing machine - something I have always worried about!

and how absolutely STUNNING are the gold foil words!! 

With all this on one layout I have STACKS still left from my kits... cross your fingers I get to play a little more VERY soon!

AND I hope that YOU have purchased your kits and get to play too!

Make sure you share with us over on The Scrappery Facebook Page & Group!

TSK BELLA + PLK JUILETTE + BPK VALERIE ~ CHLOE BEAR ~ KAYLA

Kayla back again and I am on a roll this month! I have created another layout (no process video this time) I made this one late at night and I had all the supplies left over from the kit sitting on my desk. I also had this little photo of myself and my niece from my engagement party and it's rare for me to get a photo with her (I am usually behind the camera) so I really wanted to get this one in the scrapbook. I loved using all these ephemera bits to create a layout about a little girl I love dearly. 

I used a mixture of alphabets. The CHLOE is from the BPK VALERIE kit and the BEAR is from the PLK JULIETTE kit. I love how these two alphas work together. I have also used my favourite Heidi Swapp date stamp.

I loved the beautiful 'shine' title word from the Dear Lizzy gold foam words. I love the font, it is so beautiful. I have always been a Dear Lizzy fan. I did a cluster of items on the left hand side of the photo. I loved the floral heart and the little paint chip that says 'cuddle'. It was perfect for this layout where I am having a cuddle with this gorgeous girl.

One last little peek at the layout. I have pulled from my stash some of the My Minds Eye wood dots because I thought they worked really well with the papers and the collection as a whole. I have punched the butterflies from the gorgeous speciality gold/white stripe paper in the TSK kit. 

I hope you enjoyed a look at this quick layout I put together.

We love to see what you are doing with the kits, so be sure to share them over on our Facebook page.

Much love,

TSK BELLA ~ SISTERS ~ SOPHIE

Hi everyone, today's layout is featuring, Bella, the gorgeous TSK from February. While this kit is themed around love and Valentine's Day it doesn't have to feature a married couple or boyfriend and girlfriend. It could about love of any kind. I decided to scrap about my cousins, Daisy and Holly who, as you can see have a love/hate relationship like most sisters. It's mostly love though let me tell you.

To show case the beautiful papers in the kit I created this starburst design. It was actually quite quick and easy to achieve. Firstly find the centre of your piece of cardstock. Then simply cut off a strip of paper at an angle, place the tip on the centre mark then mark and trim what hangs off the page.

As the design creates a focal point in the centre of the page I decided to place my photo there as well as directing the arrows to that point to further emphasise it.

Behind my photo I have used only cards from the ephemera pack. The pieces in the pack vary in size and as I love to use smaller photos on my layouts they were perfect for creating a matte behind my photo. I would've liked to add different textures behind my photo but I created this while at Uni and didn't have anything on hand.

I have also added a couple of the puffy, leather stickers from the Bits and Pieces Kit, Valerie. So, so cute.

 

I also added some black chevron washi tape which I picked up from the store. The store is full of everything you need to finish of your layout, not just kits, so be sure to check it out and pick yourself up a few extra things.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today,

TSK BELLA ~ YOU AND ME ~ KAYLA

Today I am back to share another layout with you all. This is my second layout using the gorgeous FEBRUARY KITS. I used a mixture of all three kits on this layout; BELLA, VALERIE AND JULIETTE! I really do like to mix and match the kits when I get them. Usually I empty the embellishments into a cute little bowl and use them on all my layouts for the month.

Once again I was inspired by a design that I saw on Pinterest for this layout with the strips of pattern at the bottom with a centre red photo and embellishments to the top and bottom of the photo. I really like being inspired by layout placements and design. I then went to town with all the embellies and made it 'Kayla-fied'. I have a tiny obsession with using the Tim Holtz Distress Stains at the moment. The one I have used on this layout is called Peacock Feathers and it is absolutely stunning! My favourite colour by far. I think it really accents the pink really well.

Here is the process video.

I typed my journalling on my typewriter and cut it out on some white bazzill. I also used a rotary alphabet stamp to stamp LOVELY in some places on the bottom half of the page. A little bit of clustering, one of those gorgeous butterflies again. I was lucky to get one of the spares so used one in both of my pages this month ;) I loved these Pink Paislee Bella Rouge alphas as well. So gorgeous.

And a little look at the top half. The flower is a cut out from the floral pattern that you receive in the TSK BELLA pack. I also used lots of arrows. The arrows I have used on the top half of the page all point the the left and those on the bottom of the page point to the right. I thought that would be a cool design feature.

I hope you have liked reading/seeing another one of my layouts using the gorgeous February kits. I really hope you have been inspired and if you have been creating with the kits we would love to see on our Facebook page. 

Much love,
