Planning with the So Sweet Classic Kit

Today is the last day of February!! I don't know about you guys but I am SO ready for spring! Unfortunately we're supposed to get more snow here in eastern Washington so who knows when spring will actually show up!!

Over the last few weeks I've shared some layouts and Valentines that I've created with the So Sweet Classic kit and today I wanted to share how I used the kit in my planner this past month.

The stickers and rub-ons this kit were perfect for planner pages, as was that cute stamp set and stencil with the distress ink.

What I also like to do with washi when I'm using it in my planner is to adhere it to some wax paper, then cut into small strips to use as pennant banners:

It's much easier to keep them relatively the same size and cut the edges that way.

So here are some more ways that I used the kit in my planner this month:

Georgia O'Keefe Museum: February "So Sweet" Classic Kit

Hi all!  Sarah here with my last layout using February's So Sweet classic kit.  This week, we are being challenged to use a grid or circle design.  I wanted to do the grid because I have these awesome pictures from a recent trip we took to Santa Fe, NM.  We took our daughters to the Georgia O'Keefe museum because my older daughter loves art and we wanted to take her to a real art gallery.  She loved it!

I used the Authentique plaid paper as my border and then the white cardstock as my background.  For the grid, I took my cardstock to my sewing machine and stitched out the lines in a cream thread.

I used the small American Crafts letter stickers for my title since my blocks were on the smaller side.  Around each small 2x2 photo, I did a double outline with my pen to help anchor them a bit.  I love the look of the Pretty Little Studio word strips inside the metal frame.

For the journaling, I cut down one of the die cut tags to fit in the square.  I love the little detail the florals add.  The chipboard "love" from Simple Stories fit perfectly in the squares and I love it!

I added the year in the letter stickers on top of the chipboard doily and also some florals and the key at the bottom.  The large gold heart helped to balance out the metal frame on the opposite corner.

I love how this layout turned out, it might be a new favorite!  Thanks so much for joining me today!

I cannot believe there is only 1 week left of February. This month lasted like a minute! lol And while I'm super excited for spring - and for the You Go Girl kit reveal tonight!! - I'm still enjoying working with the So Sweet Classic Kit. And this week I created a page about my pups :) 

We have 3 dogs and the littlest pup was adopted about a year and a half ago. Clearly all 3 have become buddies :)

I absolutely love that woodgrain patterned paper with the hanging hearts & couldn't wait to use it on a layout!

 

Llama: February So Sweet Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with another layout using the February classic kit.  Once I saw that llama die cut I knew exactly what to scrap!  My girls both have llama shirts that they love to wear so I had them wear them on the same day and snapped a picture.

I thought it would be a fun way to document a trend since llamas seem to be everywhere right now.

I love the woodgrain paper and thought it would be a nice anchor for the pink and patterns I planned to use as well.

I used the Distress Ink that came in the kit to ink the edges of the papers to help tie them together and give them good definition.

The chipboard elements worked out great with the florals and the ticket and the little word strips helped add a little extra detail.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  Don't forget to share your projects with us in the facebook group!

Happy Valentine's Day!!! We spent the last few days with my youngest daughter working on her Valentine's for class. What fun :) 

Anyway, I was going through some photos from a couple years ago and came across this cute one of my daughter and our pup Copper. 

I started with that wonderful brick paper from Simple Stores that's in the So Sweet Classic Kit. Using that heart in the center as a jumping off point I started layering some patterned papers & chipboard stickers. 

Here's a simple tip: if your page is looking a little "flat", try mounting it on contrasting cardstock like I did with this layout to make it pop!

Total Eclipse: February So Sweet Classic Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with a layout using the February classic kit.  This week, we are using outside inspiration for our prompt.  I went to my Pinterest board and looked at some sketches that I had saved.  I found this one and thought it would be perfect for the layout I was planning.

I really wanted to be sure I documented the solar eclipse that recently happened.  I loved the circle elements in here and with the sun, I thought it went nicely. 

I love the constellation paper from Authentique and with the sky element here, the paper and the color was just perfect.  I also cut some circles from other papers to complement them.

I had been saving this "Looking Up" die cut for a long time and I was finally able to us it!  This is from my stash, but it fit so nicely here.  I used two lace strips from a patterned paper to anchor the top and bottom of the photo cluster.

The Thickers from the kit were just great to tie everything in all together.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  Please share your layouts you're making with February's kit in the FaceBook group!

Love notes

Hey everyone! Valentine's Day is next week so I thought I whip up some cute little cards for my kids with the new So Sweet Classic Kit. I cut out some of the cute bingo cards from one of the patterned papers and then made little pockets for them. 

There's fun die cut shapes in this kit which were perfect for decorating up my little envelopes. I also used those fun tiny alphas to put my kids names on them. I'll probably write a little note inside and then attach their cards to some candy.

Super simple, super sweet, super easy!

And yes, 2 of my kids are older but they still like when I do stuff like this for them...so I do :) 

Sisters: February So Sweet Classic Kit

Hi all!  Sarah here with a layout using February's classic kit.  I love all of the hearts and pinks in this kit and it was great to be able to use it with a sweet picture of my girls.  This picture is just a random day in our kitchen and Layla went up to Caylan and said, "Pick me up!"  And she did and they stood there hugging for a few minutes.  Such a sweet moment and I'm so happy I was able to capture it.

I can't explain how much I love the brick paper with the pink heart on it.  It's perfect!  I made sure not to cover too much of it so you can see the heart clearly.

I used the Tim Holtz distress ink from the kit to ink the edges of all of my paper layers and it adds the perfect little pop of hot pink.

I had a sticker that had a large "2" on it that I've had in my stash for YEARS and I was so happy to be able to use it here.  

I used a strip from one of the papers to ground my layers and picture and used the Thickers for my title.  Chipboard pieces and heart gems help to finish it off.
