Clique Kits May Pep Rally

Hi there and welcome!  I am joining some of the DT and members of Clique Kits to share some projects that we have created using the May kit  "Northern Lights". It's always fun to see all the different projects created from the same kit.

The beautiful Kit features Fancy Pants Atwell collection and Basic Grey's Urban Luxe collection.

I had a lot of fun creating my layout. I used a BG paper as my background and the strips at the top and bottom are also BG. The green photo mat is Fancy Pants paper.

I used a cut file from Just Nick to anchor my photo and embellishments. The cut file was backed with BG paper and I added messy stitching for some added texture.

The whole design of my layout was based on a sketch from Creative Scrappers.. I'm so glad they are back!!

Here are a couple of closeups.

Here is the list of everyone on the blog share today. Come hop along and check out all the fabulous projects!! Don't forget to comment along the way for your chance in winning a May kit of your very own!

Sparkle and Shine Challenge #29

Morning everyone!!

Last weekend I was at my home away from home....Memories Manor in Michigan so I had some extra time to create a layout for the latest challenge at Sparkle and Shine Challenge..

For this challenge we are sponsored by the amazing Create A Smile Stamps! The winner of our challenge will receive a $25 gift card to the online store and will be asked to be our Guest Designer for next month.  Very cool...right?

Here is our photo inspiration for today.

I was inspired by the beautiful flowers so made sure that flowers made an appearance onto my layout. Not a problem at all...lol! 

The Happy Place collection by Fancy Pants was perfect for this challenge.

For Christmas my youngest son bought my Mom a huge bag of Smarties and I captured this photo of her hanging onto them so nobody else could grab them!! Too funny!

Cameo

Can you believe that this paper is from a Christmas collection?? Goes to show you that you have to check out the B sides!!

Always

I was able to get another layout done for the calendar that I make my parents for Christmas and this one actually features a photo of my parents from this past Mother's Day. I am truly blessed to still have them in my life!

Again I have to hold back on a lot of dimension because they don't want a bulky calendar....lol!!

Anyhow I played along with the sketch at Stuck On You Sketches and this is what I came up with. Sketches are always such a great jumping off point don't you think?

PageMaps sketch contest

I used the sketch at PageMaps to create another layout for my parents calendar gift.

I was inspired by all the stars on the sketch and used this star die cut piece as my background to feature a photo of my nephew Brandon.

I loved putting all those different patterned papers behind the cut out stars.

Monochromatic yellow is the topping option that we have for you with the latest challenge at Seize the Birthday.

I of course took the challenge and here is what I came up with. I used some water colour paints to create my yellow background.

Paper: SU, Fancy Pants

Ink: Versafine

Stamp: Casual Fridays

Chipboard: Crate

Sequins: Paper Bakery

Other: paint, twine, button, shimmer sprits

 

So I hope you will join us at Seize the Birthday and either create an anything goes birthday card or take the challenge and use the topping option!!!

 

Stars and Stripes

It's time again for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday! Boy where does the time go? It seems to really fly by in the summer doesn't it?

We have a toppings option for you this time and it's to use stars and/or stripes.

A long time ago I was given this image and I finally got around to colouring it with my Copics. I think it is so adorable but I don't know what the image is called or what company it is from. Do you? If so would you let me know please?

PP: Fancy Pants

Punch: EK

Rhinestones: Recollections

As you can see I chose to use the Toppings option by adding stars.

 

 

Sure hope you will join us!

Seize The Birthday......and Chevrons!

It's time for another great challenge at Seize the Birthday. This week our topping option is......"Chevrons."
