Little You Hello Baby

I have a confession:  I totally love baby lines.  My excuse for buying them is it's a challenge to use a baby line in a non-baby way ;)  Good thing I have a bestie who just had a baby and a few more with babies on the way!

I started the page with this darling cut file from The Cut Shoppe, backing a few of the speech bubbles with different papers from the Little You collection.  I added a bit of pale yellow Shimmerz ink for a bit of mixed media.

I fussy cut a few papers for embellishments, I adore those baby animals.

I'll definitely use more from this line, next time on a non-baby page!  Maybe :)

Hip Kit Club Hello Cuteness

I'm sharing a cutie pie on my blog, a little dolly girl that my girly adores.

The Hello paper from Jillibean Soup made for an adorable background, and I had to use lots of yellow because Miss C says yellow is her fave ;)

I used Dazzlerz colored with Shimmerz sprays to make the clouds, using a stencil from the May Hip Kit Club color kit to get the shapes.  I fussy cut the clouds and used foam adhesive on some for dimension.  I also used foam adhesive behind the title; I used the fun Open Letter Alpha cut file from The Cut Shoppe plus some Pinkfresh Studios alpha stickers.

Go on with your cute self ;)

Gossamer Blue Simple Moments

Hey Guys!

Popping in to share this colorful page made using June kits from Gossamer Blue :)

I started with some beautiful Shimmerz inks then fussy cut the florals from some Simple Stories paper; I added Pinkfresh die cuts and word strips.

I love the rubber charms from Pinkfresh, something different for my pages ;)

I hope you're having a lovely June day!

Count Your Blessings

Hello!  Paper Issues was giving away an awesome cut file on Saturday, and who am I to say no to a free cut file?  Here's how I used it:

I used items from Hip Kit Club June kits, along with the lovely "Blessings" cut file from Kerri Bradford Studio.

I'm really getting in to mixing fonts/alpha stickers/cut files for my titles lately.

I'm not typically a buttons girl, but the Pink Paislee buttons are so pretty and just mixed right in on my page; I felt that the cut file provided so much that I could be a bit more minimal with the embellishments on this page.

I had no idea that Project Life had die cuts!  So happy we received a cute pack of them in the kits for June.

Stay cool :)

Mixed Media Monday

 SWING ME, MAMA!

How many times have I heard that phrase?  And how many times will I hear it before she learns to really swing herself?  The girly is growing up >sigh<

I used and older HKC cut file and backed it with several papers from the May Hip Kit Club kit, adding lots of Shimmerz on the white card stock for pops of color.  I did the majority of the my mixed media ink smooshing in the center of the layout, then added my photo trio to the top middle of the page.  Using small cut files and backing them with patterned papers sure does stretch your kits!

Have a happy and colorful week ;)

Hip Kit Club Smile

 Hey, it's Sunday evening and I'm blogging?  Who am I?  haha!  When you've knocked out some layouts in the past week like I have, you want to share'em!  This one was made for the Weekly Challenge on the Hip Kit Club Facebook page.

The sketch challenge included shapes going across the page from the bottom left to top right, with the title and a banner below the photo.  It's such a great sketch, why change it too much?

Lots of beautiful Shimmerz sprays for my background, and I incorporated items from the May and June scrapbook kits.  I love how Hip Kit Club does smooth transitions from month to month so your leftovers are still relevant the next month.

I used two different HKC cut files from months past.  I put foam adhesive behind the title so it would really pop off the page.

Still loving those navy sequins from Jillibean Soup!

Special thanks to my fellow MOMS Club members for such a fab playdate to celebrate Mother's Day, and my sweet friend Rebekah set up the cutest little scene and took our pix!

Sending loving thoughts and healing vibes to those affected by the tragedy in Orlando; I lived in Orlando for three years and truly love that city.  More love my friends, more love.  xoxo

Hip Kit Club Bloom

I've recently started playing along with some fun challenges on the Hip Kit Club Facebook page; I've been scrapping for several years and never did challenges until now.  And I kinda like it!

I used a floral cut file and an alpha cut file for the main embellishments, then added in some exclusive HKC die cuts and Simple Stories frames.

This is a bit different for me in that it's a white on white layout and (gasp!) no mixed media.  But I love the effect and I think I'll do some more monochromatic stuff again.

Happy Saturday!
