Hello Life - Clique Kits

Hello blogging friends!

I am back today with my fourth layout that I created with the January Clique Kit featuring the awesome Fancy Pants Designs Happy Place collection.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this kit!!! I still have lots of paper and embellishments left too, which is amazing because I love to use lots of pattern papers on my layouts. For today's post, I thought I would give you an idea on how to use some of those labels that came with the kit. I created this layout, documenting some of my 2016 New Year resolutions. I am also using one of the exclusive digital cut files designed by Lacey. I love this one because it reminds me of confetti. I really love how this one turned out even though it has a photo of me, lol.

 

It often amazes me that some people can be so happy-go-lucky and others are so serious. I am one of those serious people. This year I want to Smile More, Make Time for Me, Have Fun, Laugh Often, Spend Time with my Family, and Celebrate Every Day. I selected some of the puffy script stickers that were an Add-on and some of the ephemera die cuts. Then I decided to print the text I needed on vellum. This would allow me to move things around. For no show adhesive on the vellum, I used my Xyron Sticker Maker.

 

Then I arranged the vellum, stickers, and ephemera die cuts on the labels. I like how the stitching emphasizes my resolutions.

 

 

 There are so many awesome ephemera die cuts. I used another one for my title here.

Jamaica - JustNick and Clique Kits

Hello blogging friends!

Lots to share today! Here is my latest layout using my August Clique Kit featuring the Pink Paislee Citrus Bliss collection and some fabulous JustNick background cut files. Did you know you can use the cut files to create a stencil so you can apply paints or ink to your layout or card. I created a stencil with the Funky Rectangles Background.

 With the stencil in place, I first applied a coat of gesso and let it dry. Then I applied some blue acrylic paint over the gesso. I love the added interest and texture the paint adds. Here is my layout...

The flowers I saved from cutting the Fancy Floral background. Don't be so quick to throw those scraps away!

Want a closer look?

I can't believe this is my first layout with the August kit! I was so excited for this kit!! but since I was on kit duty for the September kit, I didn't have time to play :(  I want to remind all of you about Clique Kits monthly challenge. Still a few days left to get your entry in.....Awesome prizes..... Anything Goes..... No excuses! Come join the fun!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.
