Love Note with Guest Designer Ashley Horton

Hi Fairytale Club fans!  I'm Ashley Horton, and I'm excited to be guest designing this month with the fun Take Note Kit!  There are so many happy colors and embellishments!  I also used cut files for this month, that you can access if you purchased this month's Happily Ever After kit.

I started my layout, by choosing the Black & White heart paper for my background.  I usually like to work with a patterned paper for my background and try to choose something subtle.  Even though the hearts are on the larger side, the Black & White color make it more of a neutral pattern, so I thought it would be great for the background paper.  Then I repeated the word "love" in Silhouette Studio, welded the words together and cut it from the Pink notebook patterned paper.  Once I had it in place on the layout, I machine stitched through each of the words.

I placed my photo on the right-hand side of the layout and changed it to Black & White to tie in with the background paper and also to help it stand out from the embellishments on the layout.  I always like to cluster embellishments and sometimes my title around the photo.  I used some pieces from the Ephemera Pack around the photo and two of the words from the pack to create my title.

Next, I wanted to add some dimension to the layout with the Puffy Word Stickers.  I placed them in two different spots on the layout, to help create a visual triangle.  I love that you can mix the words to create fun phrases and titles.

I finished the layout, by adding some hearts from the Ephemera Pack over the hearts on the patterned paper.  You could also add some color to the hearts on the background paper, with watercolors or colored pencils for a custom look!

I hope you've been inspired with some ideas for using your Take Note Kit this month!  And I'll be back a couple of times this month to share some more inspiration with you!  See ya next time!!

Odessa's Project Life Process with Take Note

Hi! Odessa here with my first layout on the Fairytale Club team! I was so excited to get Take Note in the mail. I just love the colours and images in this kit. I lean pretty girly in my layouts, even though my family is all boys so working with a kit like this is my jam!!! 

IMG_3321.JPG

I started by picking my fave papers (which was hard because they are all so good!) from the kit and then adding in a focal journal card from the cut apart sheet. Once I get that done it's time for my favourite part, embellishing!!! The embellishments in Take Note are perfect! Word stickers annnd puffy words?!? Word stickers of any type are my fav kind of Embellishment. There's also some great stickers, cute epoxy shapes and fabulous die cuts that all go so well together. I <3 how cohesive every single piece is.

I usually start embellishing by laying down some word stickers and then working around them. It helps me figure out my main themes and what I'm saying and after that, I get in this zone where everything else falls into place. I just had to use that cute die cut deer and one of the ticket die cuts was perfect as a header for some journaling about a concert I went to.

Once I've got all the embellishing done I finish up with some journaling. I journaled three different ways on this layout. On the top row, I used one of the label stickers to add a few words to a screen shot of a song I'm loving on Spotify right now. In the next row, I have a picture of a Frappuccino that had some good word stickers up the side. I added a touch of journaling right on the picture - the whip cream was a perfect spot to write! Then in the bottom row in the middle I used the ticket die cut as a header and wrote right on the paper (Something Wonderful! which might be my fav paper in the whole collection). I love how it looks next to the concert photo next to it.

Once I've got the journaling done I give it one more look over and usually add a few more tiny stickers or adjust the placement of something. And then it's done! I hope you've enjoyed this peek into my process and I can't wait to share more Fairytale Club inspiration with you!

Love and Happiness with Allie

Hello there! I'm Allie, and today I'm sharing my first layout for the Fairytale Club blog! I had so much fun using the Take Note kit with all the beautiful colors and patterns. They were right up my alley!

love and happiness.jpg

For this layout, I started with a piece of white cardstock as a background and used a floral stencil and modeling paste to cover it. Next, I used my silhouette to cut out this fun heart cut file and backed each section with one of the gorgeous patterned papers in the kit. I loved all the papers so much and wanted to include as many patterns as possible in all of my layouts. Once I had the heart backed, I adhered it to the background.

Because I used lots of patterns and things were a bit busy, I decided to go with a black and white photo. I framed my photo with some flower die cuts, as well as fussy cut flowers from the patterned paper (which I loved so much I included on every single page I made this month). The "Love" in the title was already included in the cut file, and I expanded on it by adding a die cut ampersand and some puffy stickers. Finally, I finished the layout with a smattering of hearts! I hope this layout inspired you, and I'm looking forward to sharing more with you this month. Thanks for joining me!

Having some TN fun with "Take Note"!

Hello there everyone! It is Andrea here today and I want to share with you a little something I did using the new "Take Note" collection/kit!!! :-) I looooove "Take Note"! It is so super duper cute and lovely and pretty and it just makes me smile! I couldn't decide what I wanted to make with it first, so I began by spreading the kit out in front of me. Then, while I was looking through the pretty patterned papers, I thought I should make myself a cute little TN insert for my new champagne colored Traveler's Notebook that I got!

I used the cool plus signs patterned paper called "Perdita" and folded it and cut it down to make my TN insert cover. Our papers are so perfect for making TN inserts! I love the way it turned out! 

16-Palm-Springs-Scrapbooking-2017-08-26.jpg

I decided to decorate the front of my new insert with one of the decorative 3x4 cards from the "Make Believe" cut-apart sheet. I chose the one with the super adorable little blue deer on it!! I love that deer!!! I backed the deer card with a couple of the other patterns in the kit, so as to frame it in such a way that draws more attention to it and also compliments it well.

In addition to making my cute new insert, I also decorated the front of my TN, but placing cute little items in the pockets. I love to decorate my TN and planner pockets! It is all about having fun and just placing cute little pieces here and there that coordinate well with each other and with whatever theme you are using. In this case, I used a variety of the cards and tags and things from the cut-apart sheets, but also several of the ephemera pieces from the pack and a few of the epoxy stickers too (for a bit of dimension)!

I love how my new TN set-up is looking! I hope that I have inspired you to have fun playing with your "Take Note" kit! Go where your imagination takes  you! And if your imagination hasn't taken you to go get your "Take Note" kit yet....do it! Order your kit OR subscribe today!!! Quantities are limited and it's just so darn cute!!! Ok, hugs to you all and remember to "live your life as a fairytale!"

Summertime Tag Mini Album with Carolee

Hi everyone! Carolee here with cute tag mini summer album using the Sweet! collection and my Instax Share. This came together so easily and is great for a gift for a friend or just a nice little thing to carry with you when you need a smile. 

IMG_5689.JPG

The tags themselves were easy peasy! I grabbed a couple of dies from a Bo Bunny set, found my favorite papers and then just cut them out using my Sizzix machine. I cut some from patterned paper, as well as just plain white cardstock and vellum.

IMG_5666.png

First up is this "Hello Summer" tag. I put the hello on some foam tape to add a bit of dimension to the tag. After that, I added the summer and ice pops with regular adhesive for an easy cover.

IMG_5670.png

Next up is the Summer To Do list. Super obvious, right? I'm happy to say that I've managed to check all of these off! This is just an ephemera piece popped up on some foam tape.

IMG_5671.png

My third spot is the one I used the vellum with. I love this graphic pattern but it can be a bit busy. The vellum on top (attached with some ATG adhesive) helps tone it down enough that you can build on it. I added the fabulous first, then used the word stickers and labels to add a bit more context and white. Lastly, I used foam dots to pop up the sunglasses. I love the gold foil on the lenses!

IMG_5674.png

I'd been saving the unicorn die cut for a special occasion and this was it! I layered the white paper tag on top and then flicked a bit of pink mica spray on top. After that, I put the unicorn on some foam tape, matted the word stickers on a bit of paper and added them to the tag.

IMG_5679.png

For the last card, I wanted to use the wood veneer hearts so I added those, then matted more word stickers. I like the idea of "always remember summertime happiness" so I'm glad I was able to make it. When we were kids, summers lasted forever but now as adults, they fly by! It's almost September for crying out loud! It's good to take the time to remember the good times that is summer!

Thanks for checking out my album, I hope you liked it! The Sweet kit is still available to if you like it, head over to the store and get your own. Until next time, happy crafting!
