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!

PLK JULIETTE ~ WEEK 6 ~KAYLA

Hi guys! It's Kayla here back again with my SECOND Project Life spread for the month using the gorgeous JULIETTE kit. I was challenging myself to 'kill a kit' basically. It's sort of a term for using AS MUCH of a kit as you can unit you dwindle it down to the last alpha. I didn't have any trouble at all though getting another spread out of the kit. Mind you I did combine all three kits to work from.

This is my my WEEK SIX in my 2015 Project Life album and I chose this week specifically because it was the week valentines feel so I was able to use some of those Valentines stickers and believe me I used as many as I could. 

Here's the process video.

I once again used lift up cards on this spread just to add a couple of extras. I was going mad on colour sorting my scrapbooking stash this week so I had photos of my sequins getting colour sorted and a big stack of 12x12 papers that I had sorted. It was a lot of work but I found things I had lost for years!

This was my little valentines cards and I added cluster with a few of the valentines themed things. I also added the 'merci' phrase thicker from the TSK BELLA kit as it was leftover and thought it fit well with a thanks for this lovely valentines gift from my partner. My favourite little it of this card is that itty bitty cute conversation heart brad. They melt my heart.

I used that gorgeous gold lips card as my journalling card for the week. I used some Picked Raspberry distress stain and Heidi Swapp Black Velvet Colour Shine to add ink splatters and typed my journalling using the typewriter. I did place a little word sticker 'xoxoxo' in between the lips because I thought that was rather cute.

Here's a last little close up of my spread. I love the top right photo of my puppy and I. I was trying to get a nice 'selfie' with her and it was just a massive fail but I love that I caught one of her 'kissing' me on the cheek. She is adorable. 

Hope you enjoyed!

Much love,

PLK JULIETTE ~ WEEK 3 ~ ADELE

Hey hey hey scrappy peeps!

It's Adele back with a PLK based double page spread for you today using the PLK Juliette as well as some bits from BPK Valerie and TSK Bella.

I had such fun with the soft feminine tones of these kits and FREAKING ADORED all the embellishments included. I used lots of the Crate Paper Kiss Kiss Ephemera Pack from TSK, that packet of bits and pieces is absolutely EXPLODING with goodies. Such much value in that lil ol' pack! *dances happily*

It was a close call between which alpha I liked most this month - those darling Pink Paislee Bella Rouge Acetate Alphas (from BPK) or the Crate Paper Kiss Kiss Thickers in Dark Grey Foam (from PLK)...

I loved adding a few different embellishment clusters this week, bringing in pieces from all three kits as well as my trusty go to bits and bobs from my stash (wood veneer hearts, enamel dots and tiny word stickers).

I hope you enjoyed my second layout on the blog this month....and heeeeeeere is a matching process video!

*stay tuned for an upcoming TSK process video later this week!*

TSK CLEO ~ HELLO DARLING GIRL ~ CHARM

Last but certainly not least, here is the last layout I have created using TSK Cleo...

This time I decided to go with Hot Pink, Teal & Gold for this layout from the kit...

I have used a lot of the Serendipity Ephemera again {there's STILL more left to play with!} along with a few things from BPK ORLA...

Pink, Teal & Gold work SOOO well together! Oh and the touch of Silver Crystals...

I have to say out of the whole kit I am loving the Gold Sequin string - its GORGEOUS!

I hope you've liked how I've used TSK CLEO, it's such a fabulous kit to play around with!

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 CLEO ~ NANNY & ELIJAH/CHLOE ~ KAYLA

Hi guys, it's Kayla again! You must be getting sick of me *wink* I'm here to show some layouts I created with CLEO. This was our January TSK kit.  There are still some of these kits available in the store. I was inspired to scrapbook these pages when I saw this photo on my desk of my Mum holding my niece and I knew I also had a gorgeous photo of my Mum holding my son Elijah in the tulips. I realised that mother's day is coming up so I have created these pages to frame for my Mum of her two grandchildren. Nothing beats a handmade gift I say!

Do you handmade gifts for mother's day?

This first page is the one of my Mum with niece Chloe. I loved this picture taken way back at my engagement party so it is an older picture but a very cute one. The floral embellishment on the bottom left of the photo was actually an oval piece from the ephemera pack. I really didn't like it on the blue oval so I cut out the floral and used it as an embellishment that way. I have used a mixture of alphabets. The gold stickers are from CLEO however the grey woodgrain thickers are from the January PLK kit  which is unfortunately sold out.

I used these cute little ice cream icons because I thought they just added a little bit of whimsical to the page. I combined that with some more gorgeous ephemera and a gold glittered heart and rhinestone from the January BPK kit ORLA. There are still some left of that kit in the store here.

A last little peek at this page. I have used some evergreen bough distress stain from Tim Holtz to add some splatters, a gold doily from ORLA and some other assorted bits and pieces including tissue paper from the kit wrapping!

Now I can share with you the second page I created. I can't decide which one is my favourite. I am bit biased with this one because it is the cutest picture of my Mum and my son and I tend to lean towards the more boyish colours. Also this page has that GORGEOUS gold pineapple that I was hoarding. It took a lot of courage to stick it down on the page and not hoard it forever!

I picked out of the ephemera and sticker sheet the more gender neutral/boyish tones. I love the glasses and the 'shine like a diamond'.  I also included from my own stash a flair and a wood veneer banner and lots of bits and pieces from ORLA.

I love how this little cluster turned out and as I mentioned I used that gorgeous pineapple. I just love it and pineapples are mine and Elijah's thing. I craved them during my pregnancy with him and have loved them ever since...before they became cool ;) 

Here's another little lucky last peek at my layout. I can't wait to frame these for my Mum and I hope she likes them.

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,
