Gossamer Blue Full of Stories

|
I've lost track of the number of layouts created with the April Kits from Gossamer Blue.  I whipped up this page after finding the photo in a stack of unscrapped pix; I had intended to use the photo on a different layout and had already matted and embellished it, so I had to trim it down and I love the end result of a tall skinny pic.  Something completely different for me! We received...

Mixed Media Monday Big Moment

|
 Hello, Happy Monday! I created this page with April kits from Hip Kit Club; I looooooove that they offer a Color Kit each month to encourage mixed media on your scrapbook pages.  My layout features translucent embossing paste colored with the two Shimmerz products included in this month's kit.  The butterfly stencil was also in the Color Kit. I used both the No Yolking and Oh...

Hip Kit Club Life

|
Happy Friday everyone!  I created this page with April kits from Hip Kit Club, utilizing the lovely butterflies paper and some Shimmerz products. I love the way the Simple Stories wood veneer takes the Shimmerz sprays, the color is so vibrant even after it dries. I used tissue papers from my stash to mat the photo, along with a scrap of Pinkfresh Studios paper leftover from the March...

Gossamer Blue Happiness

|
Hey guys!  I was going through photos and realized I didn't post this layout using Gossamer Blue April kits!  This was a page that I made after finishing my Life Pages album for March and wanted to use those adorable 2x2 cards from the LP kits. I added lots of Maggie Holmes embellishments, there were so many great pieces in the April kits I couldn't hold back :) This is a...

Gossamer Blue This Right Now

|
A layout without any layers?  Who am I?  Ha!  Ok, there's a few layers but not a single layer behind my photos.  I can't even believe myself. I can't take credit for the use of the Pink Paislee acetate numbers as I've seen several others do similar things with them.  I used to hoard die cut numbers so I could use them individually to represent age on my layouts, but I've...

Mixed Media Monday Wonder

|
I'm starting a new series on my blog-Mixed Media Monday :)  I've totally fallen for adding gesso, inks, paints, pastes and all sorts to my scrapbook pages, so this is my tribute to where I am right now with creating pages that I love. First up is a layout featuring Crate Paper products from the Wonder collection, along with some Dear Lizzy, 7 Paper and Simple Stories embellishments.  I...

Gossamer Blue Sock Love

|
These April kits have been super inspiring and I've created tons of layouts this month!  Today I'm sharing a silly photo layout :) It was a cold day and I had on one of my favorite pairs of socks, these blue speckled socks that I've had for at least 10 years.  I still had the background cut file I used on a previous layout and thought the pattern would be cute against the navy stripes....

Gossamer Blue Hello

|
Yellow is a new favorite of mine; I used to really dislike it but over the last few years I've fallen in love with this sunshiney color. The April kits from Gossamer Blue have a whole lot of yellow love in them, and what better way to celebrate yellow than with a daffodil photo? I used lemonade Mister Huey's to smoosh some color on the white card stock.  I didn't use any gesso this time...

Gossamer Blue Love You Always

|
My girly loves her Grampy.  They are two peas in a pod. A shared love of chocolate is probably their number one thing in common ;) The You & Me card is a cut apart sheet from Jen Hadfield.  The other cards are just as dreamy.  I used the Maggie Holmes chipboard pieces and stickers to embellish my page, along with  a thin layer of white gesso with some Shimmerz products...

Hip Kit Club Beauty

|
Hey there, I have another layout using the March Scrapbook Kit from Hip Kit Club.  I used the single butterfly from the exclusive cut file, enlarged it and copied/pasted to get my background started.  I backed two of each butterfly with patterned papers from the kit. I used Shimmerz paints to add matching colors to the white card stock; I added the paint to a piece of packaging...

Gossamer Blue The Sweet Life Baby

|
This is one of those layouts that I thought about a lot.  I finished it before bed and woke up thinking about it, wondering if I did too much.  Raise your hand if you can overwork a layout like nobody's business (raises hand). The card is from the Jen Hadfield cut apart paper in the Gossamer Blue April Main Kit and I chose it because I love the colors and the saying; my girly is wearing...
