Hey there crafty peeps, Kellie here with you to share a layout I created.

So when this gorgeous kit arrived, You + Me I knew right away that anything I created would not involve my husband what so ever. I'm not alone in the craft world where their husbands don't like their photo being taken, rarely, if at all? I mean after doing a podcast once and attending a couple craft retreats, I found out a lot of people thought I was a single mum. I can promise, he's real, haha. So I knew right away this kit is going to be used for the people I love, that let me take their photo or a photo with them, haha.

This girl I love to bits. We met online because of crafting, CRAZY right? It's been almost 10 years now, WHOA ok, I didn't realise that, haha.

I scarp in the size of 6x8. It can be a challenge sometimes because I want to add more, but I've tried so many sizes over my time in crafting and 6x8 I just love. Usually with a typical white cardstock background, NOT this time! I absolutely loved to pattern with the pink and the lined paper look that I just knew I ad to use that as the background.

I love using instax photos when I scrap? I don't know why, maybe because of the smaller size, but the photos just GO with the style I do. Do you pick your photo first or are you the type that picks what you will use first and then go from there? I personally pick a photo first.

After I've picked the photo I always go to the die cut ephemera, then more pattern paper, strips, and stickers and layer and layer as I go. Once I'm happy I take a happy snap so that I can then remember where everything goes. There have been many a times that I've walked away for some reason or another and then come back and completely forget where I had things. i do this for almost everything, project life, cards and layouts. highly recommend it.
