Love Is You +Me

Hi There Lovelies,

I think I have said it before, but just in case

I love Clique Kits and "Hot Mess" is AWESOME!!!

Here is a layout I created using the Hot Mess Kit.

I am not usually a pink and yellow person

but I loved how this color combo turned out.

I used cut outs, embellishments, papers

the alphabet stickers (LOVE!!!).

Here are some close-ups:

So many cute things to play with.

I did use a new Shimmerz Aqua Huez watercolor - Pot -o-Gold

to color the roses in on the black and white paper.

Here is what the kit looks like:

Case File 191 - Future Heartbreaker

Hello Friends,

My turn for another Case File over at 

CSI: Color Stories Inspiration.

Case File 191.

With some colors I would not normally choose,

but I was so happy with the outcome.

This is my gorgeous nephew Hamish, 

who visited at Christmas time.

He has these gorgeous big eyes and the longest lashes.

My evidence is:  Stripes, Stars, Hearts and Watercolors.

My Testimony is:  Journal on painted or written lines (top right hand corner).

Here are some close-ups:

Lots of doodling on this layout.

I used a stencil and some Shimmerz Texturez paint 

the color is Gold Rush.

This was were my journaling is.

This is what the case file looks like:

If you would like to play along is it super easy.

There is also a sketch for extra inspiration.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Grandma's House Where Cousins Become Best Friends - Clique Kit - Alegria

Hi there,

So excited I get to participate in another Clique Kit - 

Pep Rally using the Alegria Kit.

Here is my layout.

Love how this turned out,  these colors were 

so fun to play with.

Here are some close-ups:

I used the 20sixteen free monthly cut file.

And the super cute wood veneer light bulb.

I cut out some extra + from one of the papers from the kit and scattered them around the layout.

I love that hedgehog flair button.

I used a stencil and texture paste in on my background.

I used my Shimmerz Inklingz to color in the background

and to splatter the paint.

I used the cut-aparts and the Fancy Pants ephemera pack.

Case File 188 - Nothing But Blue Skies

Hi There,

It's been a while since my last blog post.

Had a little hiccup with my health, but I am back on track!!

Going to make the most of every chance I get to create......

missed it like crazy.

So to get back into the swing of things, I am going to 

share with you my layout created for 

CSI: Color Stories Inspiration.

Now this week's challenge, I found to be a curly one.

I looked at those colors and thought to myself, 

were do I go from here?

But as soon as I looked through my stash for the color palette

it all became clear, and of course the Nifty Pixel sketch rocks!!

Here it is:

I took some beautiful photo's of my mums visit to 

Mackay for the Christmas holidays.

I seriously don't know what I would have done without her here.

My evidence was:  Clouds, Dangle a Charm and Ribbon.

Now sail boats don't appear in the sky, but they were on 

the water surrounded by puffy clouds, so they appear 

that way on my layout.

My Testimony: Was to journal a gathering.

Here is what the case file looked like:

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Case No. 185 - Dreaming of Paris

Hi There Friends,

Seriously, who doesn't dream of Paris?

Well I do.

I love the history, the architecture, the art and the food.

I had the opportunity to scrapbook this love

using the CSI: Color Stories Inspiration

Case File 185.

My favourite colors are featured in this case file.

Here are some close-ups:

This photo of the Eiffel Tower was a wallpaper, screen saver.

I thought it was perfect for the Case File.

I used a funky Artistcellar Stencil - 

by Tamara Laporte (Willowing).

Here is the Case File:

How amazing is that sketch from Page Drafts!!

My Evidence is:

* Architectural Accents - Eiffel Tower Wood Veneers 

& Stencil Background.

*Pom-Pom Trim - Black Pom-Pom Ribbon under photo.

*Sprinkle Something - I sprinkled glitter at the top of the layout.

*Asterisk/Starburst Shape - Asterisk in my journaling as dot points.

My Testimony is:

I wrote my story in the form of a wish list.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
