Kellie's Pocket Page Notebook Dreamer Layout

Hi there Fairytale Club peeps, Kellie here with you today to share a mini layout I create in my smaller pocket page notebook.  I think if you've been following along here and would had noticed I have a thing for this style of crafting, FUN!

For this layout I've used the NEW Beautiful Dreamer kit, that is honestly just a dream to be able to create with.

My eldest has started taking photos again.  She's had an eye when it comes to photography and I benefit, because her favourite or only real subject that she can have on hand are her sisters, WIN for me.

Before this kit even arrived on my door step and I was checking the delivery update daily.....  Come on, I know I'm not the only one that stalks their Fairytale Kit right?  I already had plans in my head on what I wanted to create and these photographs were top of the list.

Did you see that this month there is something new?  The chipboard alpha's!  Are they not dreamy?  Confession time, I used the "q" as a "b", honestly it was a mistake and once I realised it didn't bother me as it just worked. I decided to keep these layout's pretty simple.  I'm loving the sentiments within the sticker sheet this month.

To do the pocket I got out my trusty fuse tool and once I was happy with where my photo was placed that I've gone back and front, I fused around it with a metal ruler.  Added sequins in and then fused it up.  BAM, done.  Sounds simple right?  You have no idea the amount of sequins I get everywhere, haha.  But the result is just too good not to lose or wear a few sequins.

i didn't want to sew straight into the pocket page paper.  So I decided to stick down the strips of paper onto a spare bit of cardstock, sew with my sewing machine, trim up and then stuck it down into my pocket page notebook.  This works really well for those hard to get to areas with your machine.

There you have it!  I have another layout coming next week that I can't wait to share with you all.  In the meantime if you haven't signed up for your kit yet, you can do so, HERE.

Kellie's Pocket Page Notebook Tee Love Layout

Hi there Kellie with you here today to show you a pocket page notebook layout I created using the You + Me collection that I absolutely love.

Loving the way this layout came together.  I have a pocket page notebook that is mainly based on the purchases I've made, one I keep from my husband obviously, haha.  This is actually a photo of a tee I brought some time ago and I still love it and it's still one of my favourites.  Because of this I knew that the You + Me kit would be perfect for this layout.  That rose is just stunning and as much as I really wanted to hoard it, I used it instead.

I mean honestly crafty peeps, how cute are those hearts!  I started by knowing what photo I was going to use for the layout. After that it's a matter of going through the kit and often picking out my favourites and that pile can be a little high, haha and then narrowing down what matches in with the photo. Because the tee was black made it easy, what doesn't go with black?  Exactly nothing, right?

Pink, red and blue/teal worked so well together and I already have another idea in mind with plenty left for another layout. 

What have you created with your You + Me kit?

Kellie's Practically Perfect Layout

Hi there crafty people, Kellie here with you today to share a scrap layout I created using the new, Practically Perfect kit.

I love this kit.  Every time I think Andrea can't possibly out do herself and BAM she goes and does it again.   I don't think you even have to be a fan of the movie this kit is based on.  I remember watching it as a kid, but I know I can use this kit over and over again.
I really am happy with how this layout came together with the photo of myself and all and looking like I'm calling myself, practically perfect.  I'm not, haha, honest, but the font and music notes are just to perfect to not use.

I also managed to use a little bit of everything that comes within the kit and guys, I still have PLENTY.  So if you haven't already get onto the subscription.
I started with a white cardstock base.  I did consider going with a pattern, but when I laid eyes on the Spoonful of Sugar acetate, I knew I had to use it.  One side gold the other blue, WINNING.  When I spotted the tag I just knew I couldn't hoard it as much as I really wanted to, because it's gorgeous.  So instead I got out all my favourite elements and added them to this layout.
This is the end result and I coudn't be happier. 

Kellie's You + Me Bestie Love Layout

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.

After all that this is the final result and I'm super happy with how it all came together and the kit just WORKED so well for my plan.
