Kindy Photo | Hip Kit Club

 

Hi everyone,

Back again to share another recent project that I forgot to share here (I told you managing all these different platforms is a lot of work, LOL) This was another layout I created using my January 2022 scrapbook kit from Hip Kit Club. The kit was packed full of the Hip Kit exclusive collection called 'Kaleidoscope' which features lots of gorgeous colours and geometric shapes.

I actually dug into the photo archives for the photo I used on this layout - a picture of my gorgeous boys back when they were in Kindergarten. I can't believe I hadn't scrapped this one yet!

I added a very subtle mixed media background to this page using Distress Oxides (yes, again - they are my favourite medium after all!) 

Besides the Hip Kit contents, I also added a few other items from the extra add-on kit I had curated from my stash. This included a handmade star embellishment from Charms Creations, a flair button from Cocoa Vanilla Studio, wood veneer stars, enamel dots and some butterflies.

You can see how this layout came together in my process video here:

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Until next time, happy scrapping! X

Best Day | Pinkfresh Fridays YouTube Hop

 

Hi everyone, 

I'm back with another new mixed media layout to share today. This one was created recent for the Pinkfresh Fridays monthly YouTube hop that is organised by my sweet friend Joanne Bartell. Each month, a group of scrappers create and share videos using Pinkfresh Studio products and I was delighted to be able to join in this time. 

I don't have a huge amount of Pinkfresh products in my stash, but luckily for me they often appear in the Hip Kit Club scrapbook kits, so I do have some. The products I used for this layout all came from my June 2021 kit, and were from the 'Happy Blooms' collection - a perfect choice to document this series of photos of my daughter with her Valentine's Day flowers from her boyfriend. 

I went quite product heavy on this page (why not - no use hoarding it, right?) and added lots of luscious layers, including a bunch tags that I cut from patterned paper.

My mixed media background was created using Distress Oxides - first applied with an ink blending tool, then stamped, then splattered. 

I added a couple of my signature elements (I guess they could be called that now?) with a paper doily and then frayed gauze for texture.

I was happy with how this one turned out and it was certainly fun to put together. You can watch my process video for this page via the link below. If you would like to see what everyone else created for this hop, be sure to open my video in YouTube and you will find a linked list of the other participants in my video description. 

While you are there, I would love it if you would subscribe to my channel so you don't miss any of my upcoming videos. (Or check out my back catalogue of videos - there are lots there to choose from!)

Until next time, happy scrapping! X
