Kellie's You + Me Bestie Love Layout

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

TFC_YOU_AND_ME_3

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.


TFC_YOU_AND_ME_3

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.


TFC_YOU_AND_ME_3

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.

Kellie's You + Me Quick and Easy Card

Hi there Fairytale Club fans, Kellie here with you today to share a sweet card I created using the NEW You + Me kit.

TFC_2

Now if you know me and my style already you will NOT be surprised by the fact that I A. made a card and B. used the strips from the bottom of the 12x12 pattern paper within the YOU + ME kit.  I love them and so far I've been making them with almost every kit since being part of this creative team.

TFC_2

Honestly I usually look back on the card I made the time before and use it as a sketch, so all my cards have the same style, but all so different at the same time, does that make sense?  I'm sure it does.

TFC_2

To make a quick card is SUPER easy, especially with the kits!  Seriously give it a try.  Some pattern and the die cut ephemera and you have yourself a quick and easy card.  Can I also point out that you don't have to make a card to show your love for someone just on one day, share the love any day!

Do you make cards?  I feel like it's not a thing these days, sending handmade cards?  So why not send one to make someones day that little brighter!

Aimee's "GO TO" Sketch

Hi there, it’s Aimee and today I am sharing one of my go to layouts!

 

2-11-19 1.jpg

I have a confession, sometimes I lose my mojo and don’t want to scrapbook.

Yep I said it. But I have a little secret.

I keep a bunch of “GO TO’S”  in my back pocket.

go to sketch.jpg

 

Using a sketch is one of my “GO TO’S”. And this particular sketch is one I go to a lot.

Whether I am scrapping 12x12 or 8.5x11, this sketch works perfectly. We all have a ton of 3x4 journaling cards laying around. This is also another good way to use all those extra journaling cards you have laying around.

 

So, I started with 3, 3x4 journaling cards and 1, 3x4 picture. Now you can configure this anyway you want. You can use more photos if you want, or hey you could use all cards if you wanted.

2.JPG

 

I started with the 12x12 piece “Supercalifragilitic” Paper cutting out the purple 3x4 card.

Next, I cut a 3x4 piece from the 12x12 “The London Sky”

 

From the Stationery pack I used the die-cut card “SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC”. This card is 4x4 and I trimmed it to 3x4.

 

Ok so now I have all 3 of the journaling cards I plan on using.

 

I found the photo I wanted to use, in this case it’s a photo of a giant peacock inflatable island {It was one of my birthday presents last year} and I printed it out at 3x4.

3.JPG

 

I fussed with my cards and photo on my 8.5 x 11 piece of white cardstock {another one of my “go to’s”} and finally decided with this arrangement. I decided that I wanted some dimension on this layout and adhered the photo and the die-cut card with 3-d adhesive foam. The other 2 cards I just adhered with a tape runner straight to the cardstock.

4.JPG

 

For my embellishments, I used a tiny stapler to attach the 2 cards that were adhered straight to the cardstock. I used the “jolly holiday” die-cut words from the emphemera pack. Which was totally perfect for this layout, since it was my birthday get away!

 

I rolled some thread between my hands and stuck my die-cut words on top of it for a fun messy thread affect. I then layered 3 word stickers over the journaling card.

5.JPG

 

To finish my layout, I used a date roller stamp to date the page {another one of my “go to’s”!}

 

Do you ever use sketch’s when your mojo is struggling?



XOXO, AImee

Carrie's Sunshine & Snow Project Life Spread

02132019-PL-Snow-Day-01-Final.png

Hello Everybody, Carrie here with a February spread in my Project Life album. I used the gorgeous Practically Perfect Kit and gave it a bit of a love theme for February. We’ve been coated in a bunch on snow here in Seattle the last couple weeks which is not normal, so I wanted to make sure to document some of our snow days. These photos are a little over a week old and we have so much more snow now it’s crazy. The photos from this day in particular are some of my favorites because of the snow and sunshine together, as well as my daughter playing in the yard with one of our dogs.

02132019-PL-Snow-Day-02.png

To begin this spread I quickly decided on using a pocket page of three 4x6 inch photos. I placed the photo of my daughter in the middle and cut two 4x6 inch cards from one of the 12x12 inch floral papers. The floral paper cards I added to the pockets above and below my photo. Next I decided to use two sizes of heart shaped dies and cut a bunch of hearts out of solids sections of paper from some of the planner inserts.

02132019-PL-Snow-Day-04-Final.png

I layered the die cut hearts together on the floral cardstock both above and below my photo. To give them a little dimension I used red line tape at the bottom of each heart and a thin foam adhesive at the top.

02132019-PL-Snow-Day-05-Final.png

As a final touch for this side I used the “superclifragilistic” and “expialidocious” stickers from the sticker sheet and added them with a thin foam adhesive. To give a little more interest I decided to place one on my photo and the other on the paper below.

02132019-PL-Snow-Day-06.png

On the opposite page I started out by adding the “s” and “p” in Pink Paislee Thickers to one of the 2x3 inch photos (it’s a photo of snow), to identify my daughter and our dog. I used the same pink paper as one of the heart dies to fill in the empty space of the “p” because I feel like it makes the letters easier to read and I like the look. To help tell the story of my daughter’s relationship with our dog Ponyo, I also decided to use one of my small heart punches and punched out a heart from one of the same red papers as the other hearts. I used foam adhesive and placed it in between the two initials. To finish off this little 3x4 inch pocket I added the super cute yellow pom pom paperclip from the stationery pack. I love seeing these pom poms stick out of my albums.

02132019-PL-Snow-Day-07.png

Once I had the rest of my photos placed for this 9x12 inch page I added the cute yellow quote card from one of the cut apart sheets in an empty 3x4 inch pocket. I could have left it just like that but thought that the two penguins reminded me of my daughter and Ponyo playing in the snow. Because I didn’t have a lot of space on the card I cut the smallest pair of penguins out of one of the cut apart sheets. I added them to the card with red line tape at the bottom and foam adhesive at the top. To help tell the story of the pair having fun I also placed the “yay” sticker from the sticker sheet, tucking one end under a penguin and popping up the other end with foam adhesive.

02132019-PL-Snow-Day-08.png

I knew I wanted to add journaling to the last 3x4 inch pocket so I cut a notepaper card from one of the planner inserts. Typically I’ll add journaling using my typewriter, but this time decided that the photos told enough of the story that all I wanted to write was a descriptive title and the date. I used the same Pink Paislee Thickers for my text and used the same pink paper to fill in the empty spaces in the letters. To help tie in the floral paper I decided to add the red tulip die cut from the die cut pack, again only popping up the top with foam adhesive and tucking the bottom into the text. Since I thought the sunshine and snow were so pretty together I also placed the “wow” sticker from the sticker sheet above the flower using foam adhesive…..and that’s it!

Thanks so much for taking a look at my project and I’ll see you next time : ) Carrie

I layered dies cuts, and created my title with pieces from the Emphemera pack

Aimee's "Practically Perfect" selfies

Happy Monday! Aimee here, with a layout using the “Practically Perfect” Kit.

2-4-19_edited-1.jpg

 

While everybody was watching the Super Bowl yesterday, I was getting my craft on. . .

I created a layout all about me and it was so fun to create. I love a grid layout, with a bunch of selfies!

1.jpg



I started by printing a bunch of snapchat selfies at 1.75x1.75. Once the were printed and trimmed, I started moving pieces around on my paper. The grid that worked best for this 8.5x11 layout was 3 across and 4 down.

2.jpg

 

I choose to keep my grid even with:

 

-4 photos

-4 squares of paper

-4 pop up embellishments

3.jpg

 

Once I was happy with the layout, I snapped a quick photo of it with my phone, so I would remember where I liked everything.

4.jpg

 

I then divided my paper up, made some pencil marks and then machine stitched my cardstock.

I did the stitching before I adhered anything to the cardstock, this way none of the pop-up embellishments would snag on the presser foot. I really didn’t care if my lines were perfect so I just eyeballed the stitching.

6.jpg

 

Next, I adhered everything to my cardstock. I used a tape runner for the squares, glue dots for the flair and 3-d adhesive foam for the die cuts.

7.jpg

 

I really liked the way the layout looked at this point. I was afraid to add any more touches, in fear that it would overdo it, but I went for it. I faux stitched with a black pen around the die cuts. It ended up looking just fine and then I decided to machine stitch a little line on to every square, in different corners.

8.jpg

 

Sometimes, its super fun to just scrap a page about yourself.

 

Do you ever scrap those silly snapchat selfies?

 

By the way who won the Super Bowl? I forgot to even look!

 

XOXO, Aimee
