Monkey Bars - 1, Addie - 0

Hey all! I'm back with a couple pages from the Spring Fling Daily Diary kit along with some elements from the Let's Get Lost Kits. And since my daughter broke her arm last week I thought it fitting to do a couple pages on that!

I started with a main page using patterned paper from the Let's Get Lost Classic kit and paired it with elements from the Spring Fling Daily Diary kit. I thought the "You Are Brave" pennant banner from the Let's Get Lost kit (Daily Diary kit I believe) was fitting for this page.

I also created a pocket page to go along with it with additional photos using the Spring Fling Daily Diary Kit. The colors of the kit matched perfectly with Addie's new cast ;)

Explore... Under the Stars...Adventure

I have one last layout for you from the awesome Let's Get Lost Daily Diary kit... I had all these leftover scraps of cute "adventuring" embellishments, so I whipped up a quick two page spread for my pocket album. The photo & layers in the middle actually pop into the binder itself, so they are like a mini page or flap stuck in there in between the bigger pages. 

I've been busy working on some pages using the new Delightful kit this weekend... and my reveal video as well! I can't wait to share them with you! 

Share your sparkle

We've seen a lot of nature layouts using the Let's Get Lost kits this week.

I took on the other challenge given to the team- to incorporate stars into my layout.

I decided to create a star on the background of my page using strips of the star patterned paper in my Daily Diary kit.

After cutting 1/4" strips of the star paper I pieced together the outline of a star and adhered that to my cardstock base and then added some spray mist for some extra color on the page. 

I added a strip of the cute black and white washi tape from the kit to the bottom edge of my layout. From there I added my photos directly over the bottom corner of the star and then added some chipboard and epoxy shapes into the background. 

I love the big accordion flowers in the kit but since this isn't a travel-themed page I decided to layer the "be your best" chipboard over the top of the flower. 

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today! 

Arches National Park with the Let's Get Lost Kits

Hello everyone!  Nicole here today to share with you something that hardly every happens - a double page layout.  I used both the daily diary and classic kit to put together this two page spread and I'm really loving the results. 

I started with the pattern paper.  I had two pieces of the map pattern paper and chose this for the majority of the background.  I then cut strips and placed them on both sides of my spread creating framing in my pictures. 

I then started my title.  I paired the thickers with a silhouette cut to spell out my title.  I also cut the iconic delicate arch from the same pattern paper and placed them all together.  I finished embellishing with the cork/puffy stickers. 

My journaling I ended up printing out on vellum so I wouldn't have to cover up the pattern paper. 

The second page I kept simple and added a small cluster with the date and three of the Queen and Co. lollies.  My last touch to tie the two pages together was by running a piece of washi tape along the top of the spread. 

I really love the way this turned out and really need to try and do double spreads more often - love how many photos I used!  Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.  Happy Scrapping :)

Our Life Never Looked So Good- Pocket Pages!

The lovely combination of color and detail in the Let's Get Lost Daily Diary kit makes for such interesting contrast in my Pocket Page album. I'm finding my groove with this style and I really love that I have an album documenting our daily life. 

 I've been using the "Collect" app to organize my daily pictures and keep captions under each one so I can remember special things about each day. This has been so handy when I've gone to print the pictures because I can trim those captions to use in my album.

Wishes for my girls

Hello again! 

It's hard to believe that another week has gone by. The time is just flying! 

A friend of mine lost her mother just over a week ago and I don't mean to be mushy but times like this, like when my father in law passed away last year, cause me to be a little sentimental. 

We really don't know how much time we have with those we love so it's important to show them our love and make the best of each and every day. 

I have four daughters and while some days they make my hair turn white (seriously- not gray but white) I do love them and am so proud of them for the wonderful girls they are. 

So, here is my project for the week using this month's Daily Diary kit, Let's Get Lost. 

The 2x3" cards are perfect for pocket pages or extra journaling. For this page, though, I used the reverse sides in a grid pattern to add a mix of coordinating designs to my layout. I used a larger 4"x6" card to anchor my title before adding my photo. I used some strips of the washi tape from the kit to add the black and white contrast to the page. 

I trimmed down a 2"x3" card to make a smaller journaling spot. I added lots of chipboard, leather and enamel accents to the layout, including attaching a piece of ribbon to the back of the cute leather circle. 

Here you can see the different layers on my page and some of the embellishments I used. For the top right of the page I cut down the "go see do" card to a smaller size and added a tiny flair and some enamel dots. Noel always adds a beautiful mix of textures to each of her kits and I love the variety that adds to my projects, whether I'm using the Classic kit or the Daily Diary one. 

Thanks for stopping by here today. 

We hope that you have a great rest of your week and don't forget to stop by for the reveal of next month's kit! Visit us at our Facebook page for more details!

Every book is an Adventure with the Let's Get Lost Daily Diary and Classic Kits

Hello!  Nicole here today to share a layout that takes the adventure theme to the kits in a different direction.  I recently found these photos of my grandma reading to my little guy.  I knew the colors would play off the colors in the kits perfectly.   For those that have both kits the colors and embellishments really work so well together. 

I started with the black cardstock and pattern papers from the classic kit.  I cut strips of pattern paper and layered them behind my photos.  I then grabbed a few of the journaling cards from the daily diary kit and layered them under the top of my photos.  Using my Silhouette I cut part of my title from the red cardstock in the kit and paired it with one of the glittered thickers to form the title. 

Once the foundation was built I got to work placing the simple embellishments:  flowers, stickers, washi tape, and ribbon. 

I added a "frame" of sorts with a simple white gel pen and a pattern paper.  I kept the overall look to the layout simple and let the pictures and simple embellishments shine. 

Thanks for stopping by the blog!

Some Pocket Pages with Let's Get Lost!

I've been playing with the "Let's Get Lost" Daily Diary kit... oh it is the BEST for Spring Break pictures and adventures! There are two left- you should go treat yourself to one of them! 

Y'all, don't forget to document yourself. It's important! Also, I absolutely love this random pic from my kids all loaded up in the van. These are the moments that make up life, am I right?

I had so much fun playing with this gold metallic chevron overlay! Cutting it up to embellish the page was so cathartic to me. I wish y'all could see the full extent of the glimmer. It's gorgeous! 

Life is an adventure

Hello!

I hope you've been enjoying the team's projects with this month's kit, Let's Get Lost. I am working with the Daily Diary kit this month, which is still available (only two more!) here.

We are talking about adventures this week and while I didn't document a trip taken I am the mom of four girls and that is an adventure every single day!

Here is a layout featuring some pictures of one of my girls on a trip this past fall.

As you can see, I started with a white cardstock base. I like the clean slate it provides me, though I quickly messy that up with spray mist because I am not good at leaving my mist alone ☺

I used one of those cute accordion circles, though I cut the "100% real" from one of the kit embellishments and added it onto the center of the flower. I also used a tiny star punch to make some other little embellishments to add to the page. 

I love the enamel dots in the kit and added some to the side of this journaling card to add some more color to my layout.

I had to use some of the fun map printed ribbon in the kit. It made a perfect spot to rest the pictures of my silly girl. I also added some other diecuts and the paper flower to add a bit of a feminine touch to the page.

Camping in the Uintas - Let's Get Lost DD

This weeks theme of adventure is perfect for my continuation of last weeks camping trip pictures.  Every year we go camping with friends and I always take WAY too many photos.  I got a lot of them recorded this week in pocket pages and with a smattering of journal cards, stickers, and washi tape from the daily diary kit I'm about half finished.  ;)

I always start a spread by printing my photos first and placing them in the pockets.  I then fill in with journaling, a title, and a few embellishments in the other pockets. 

I cut a few of the cards apart and placed this over my photo with some of the puffy stickers and washi.  The faux leather badges are so fun!  I added one on a printed 3x4 card over the top of a camera.  I placed it so the bird that was perched on the camera looked like it was standing on the badge. 

The next page I used a 4x6 card, a transparency overlay, and letter stickers to make a my title.  I ended up cutting the transparency to fit the card and stapled it to the card. 

A little side story:  while camping last summer we had a little pine tree in the middle of our camp that looked like a Christmas tree and we ended decorating it as such.  Crazy . . . but so us!  This explains the little card on the next page that I made and placed some of the enamel dots on for ornaments.

The card that looks blank in the full photo is actually a transparency that I cut to fit the pocket.

That is all I got for this week.  I  hope you all are enjoying the kits as much as I am!
