Swaggy Layout

Featuring Kaisercraft 75 Cents Collection

Designed by Nicolle Kramer

This is the amazing kit I worked with this month.

My daughter Kayla went to her very first concert recently and saw Justin Bieber. Thankfully a friends mother went along with them as a chaperone. I am not a huge fan of Justin or his type of music but figured it would be a good first concert for her. We purchased the tickets for her back in November and it was part of her Christmas present. We were lucky enough to get some pretty good seats. Kayla had a blast. It's all she talked about for days. The next concert she is going to see Big Time Rush with my Sis, nieces and Jolie (her lil sis). This will be Jolie's first. Kayla bought a T-shirt and hat from the Bieber concert. I think in this picture she could actually pass for a little boy. She's still a cutie.

A few techniques used on this layout are layering, ink distressing, tearing and stencil using modeling paste. To create some of the layers I cut Kaisercraft pound paper and layered the journal cards behind the photo.

Some more layers and flowers.

Happy Birthday with Graphic 45 by Moriah Macdonald

Happy Birthday Cards

Featuring Graphic 45 French Country

by Moriah Macdonald

Good Morning Everyone!  As you read this I am on my way to enjoy some gal pal time at The Cape.  Have no fear though because I have an easy 'n fun tutorial for you today! :)  It's a birthday themed set which seems appropriate since today is my FIL- Don's birthday and 2 teacher pals birthday's as well!

 Here's another peek at Graphic 45's French Country line that inspired this card set. :) 
 

 I started with cutting some yellow cardstock 4 1/16" X 3 5/16".  Then I cut the Sunflower paper 2 1/2" X 3 7/8", the Deja Vu paper  2 1/4" X 3 7/8", and the Rendezvous paper 1 1/2" X 3 7/8".

 I layered everything leaving a 1/8" yellow border.  In retrospect, I probably didn't need to make the middle layer quite as big because I covered a good chunk of it with the bottom clock paper.  Oh well. :)

Next I cut 4 pieces of burlap ribbon about 4 inches each.  I added score-tape to the back of each one 'cause I've had the best luck with score-tape and burlap ribbon. :)

After adhering the burlap ribbon to the card fronts I set about getting the sentiments ready.  I used a couple of dies to cut more of the yellow paper & some cream, layered them together, added a sentiment, blinged them up, and foam taped them on the cards.  I adhered each one to a cream card base with some score-tape.  Now everything is ready to sign 'n send!!


Goodies used to create this set:
Tim Holtz - Distress Card Stock- Straw
Graphic 45- French Country- Sunflower
Graphic 45- French Country- Deja Vu
Graphic 45- French Country- Rendezvous
My Minds Eye- Sweetest Thing- Enamel Dots

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Smile card

When Charlie asked us last month what kit we would like to work with this month, I spent about 2 hours trying to figure it out because she has such great products in the store.  I eventually decided to use Prima Marketing Lyric Collection.  I hadn't worked with this collection before and am so glad I picked it because it is so beautiful and the colors are so gorgeous.

My friend, Anita, is on the design team at cardabilities and when I saw her creation for this week's challenge, knew I would have to join in, because it is a great sketch and worked great for this collection.  I have to participate in these challenges more often because they are so much fun.

I love the specials touches to this collection.  Love the music note clips and the paper - I love music and this is right up my alley.

Here is my full card.  I am going to send it to my friend who has started chemo recently and am hoping this will put a smile on her face.  

I hope you have a great weekend.

Bo Bunny Sisters layout

Sisters layout

Featuring Bo Bunny - Isabella collection

By Lori McClellan

 

The Bo Bunny Isabella collection is what I get to work with this month.  YEA!!!  I love the gray and pink color pallet of this collection, but what I really love is the Sisters stickers that are part of this collection.

 

The hardest part of doing a project with this collections is deciding which sticker I want to use with what papers.  

 

I created this simple, clean layout using my July kit.  It easily came together using 2 of the 6 x 6 elements from the cardstock.  I have 2 spots for 4 x 4 pictures.  Because the cardstock has so much detail, it didn't need many more embellishments.  The Bo Bunny - Isabella line has some great embellishments that match perfectly.  I used one to the Sister sticker quotes, the trinkets, chipboard stickers and brads. 

I know it looks pretty plain, but with all the blank space, there will be plenty of room for journaling and a title when I finally decide on the photos I am going to use. 

Check out all the Bo Bunny products here at The Hens Den.

The beautiful July kit I am enjoying working with.

Hi friends, Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is doing well. I have been creating a lot of scrapbook pages of my son Bret. I just had to scrap his Senior photo. This photo is in the John F. Kennedy yearbook. Look how happy and handsome he is. Yes, I know I am a bit biased. One of his dreams is to become a model and today we have an appointment with an agency. I am quite the skeptic when it comes to these types of things and have my guard up. I know there are a ton of scams out there. So we will be checking out a few.He also knows that he needs to pursue other interests. We explained to him it can be very hard to make it in the modeling world. Bret is also going to be going to college this fall. I am not sure what he will be taking. WE need to decide and fast because  the season  is fast approaching.

I used many different fun techniques. I applied gesso using a stencil for interest. I stamped a chevron image to go along with one of the papers in Kaisercrafts' collection. I sprayed some mist and let it drip down the page for a cool effect and of course tons of layering and distressing.

Here's a close up of a cluster at the top left of photo. I added some white gesso to the beautiful Kaisercraft flowers to give them a shabby look.

Here's another close up of the bottom cluster. I had so much fun layering all of the fun die cut images.
