Honoring Mother's Day with the "Pure Bliss" Classic Kit

Hello Everyone! Lynn here and I'm soooo glad to be back! Today I'm sharing my first layout using this month's "Pure Bliss" Classic Kit. Our theme this week is to create a project honoring our Mother, Aunt or Grandmother for Mother's Day. I found an awesome picture of my Mom AND Gram together and knew it was perfect for this week's theme! I used a few papers from this month's Classic kit and layered embellishments around the photo. Here's my layout

I love the smiles on my Mom and Gram's faces!! So sweet!! Here's a closeup of the dimensional layers around the photo

I added some adhesive sequins and pink glitter dots around the photo.

I used my vintage typewriter to add my journaling.

We'd love to have you participate with this week's challenge and honor the Mother figure in your life.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the inspiration from the Design Team this week!!! See you next week.

Ric Rac Challenge-"Picture Perfect" Classic Kit

I'm still creating with the design team's "Ric Rac Patty Whack" challenge from last week, I also use the beautiful May Arts self adhesive ric rac from this month's "Picture Perfect" Classic Kit on my layout...

This 2 page spread is about my daughter and how she is always looking for ways to layer her wardrobe and trying new combinations of clothes to create cute outfits---a real Fashionista!!! I snapped these pictures really quick before school one day because I thought she looked like such a pre-teen and so grown up.

I used the Pinkfresh Studio "Ombre Wall" paper as the background of the title page of this layout, focusing on my favorite photo of the morning.  I stacked a few smaller scraps of paper behind the photo to create a layered "stack" of photo mats.  I also added a couple of the cut apart pieces from the Elle's Studio Cutouts and the Pretty Little Studio feather die cut to pretty up the layered papers.  I grounded all of it with the self adhesive velvet ric rac.

I used some purple Thickers that I already had in my stash, along with the Elle's Studio black alpha stickers to create my title, and dressed it up with a few enamel dots and the camera Carpe Diem charm.  Prettying up my titles is one of my favorite parts of scrapbooking.

I added a few more of the Elle's Studio cut apart pieces to the right side of the layout to use for my journaling.  

I added the same patterned papers, enamel dots, and ric rac to this side of the layout to keep it looking coherent and cohesive. 

I am really enjoying working with the "Picture Perfect" Classic Kit so far this month, it has a beautiful, cheery color palette that is working great with lots of my photos.  There are a few more of these kits available in the store if you would like to pick one up!

Thanks for joining me today! 

A Budding Romance with the Heart of Gold Classic Kit

Hello Bloggers, Lynn here to start off our "Budding Romance" design challenge this week. Simply use a flower(s) as a major element on your project. You can make your own flower, fussy cut flowers from patterned paper or add flower embellishments to your page. This challenge was easy using this month's Heart of Gold Classic Kit. I used the gold doily as a base for my page and added my photo, flower stickers and lots of other elements to build up my layout. Here's my page

 

I popped up both flower stickers for added dimension. I added lots of puffy stickers and used the small heart in the stamp set with the Lawn Fawn ink to add some stamped hearts here and there.

I typed on the layered tag and used the yummy gold dipped thickers included in our kit.

 

So, let's see how you use flowers on your projects to create a Budding Romance! Stay tuned for more inspiration from the design team using this week's challenge.

Have a great week!
