The Scrappery CT - 'magic'

Good morning beautiful creative people, Lydia back finally to share another project. It's been a long time! It's been a crazy start to the year and getting used to grade 12 and all that it has install for me this year, including the huge workload that has taken weeks to get used to. But I am finally on top and ready to get fully organised and start creating and sharing again.

What better way to start sharing again with the brand new 'Olivia' kits. These kits are so sunning filled with the beautiful pastel colours of the new Cocoa Vanilla Studio collection 'More Than Words'.

So today I am sharing my first creation of a 12x12 layout using these kits.

 

I always find it so easy to create using colours and elements that I love. So working with the pinks, blues and butterflies this layout came together quite quick.

 

For this layout I did go for a more minimalistic style using the vellum black and white florals with the pops of pinks and corals from the butterflies. I also love the contrast from the greys to the bold black of those gorgeous Thickers. 

 

 

Of course I had to add some dimension using these KaiserCraft florals as a cluster under the photo.

 

 

On the opposite bottom side of the image to the KiaserCraft florals, I added a few pieces of ephemera from the ephemera pack as well as a ever beautiful flair from the collection. I also added some enamel dots/hearts around the whole layout too.

 

 

Over the whole layout are fussy cut butterflies from one of the 12x12 papers. I paired the butterflies with some of the vellum florals. I love how they are give the feeling that they are fling around the page.

 

 

 

And that is my first project using these kits. My fingers are crossed that you all receive your kits very soon to be able to start creating with such beautiful products.

 

Have a great Sunday.

The Scrappery CT - 'me.'

Hello Scrappery friends, Lydia here finally back sharing for 2018. 2018 is going to be a big year, as I enter my final year of schooling in Grade 12 and getting ready for my future which will defiantly still include creating.

I'm so excited to have started the year with the gorgeous 'Willow' Kits to create with. I'm so in love with all the bright colours in the kits featuring the Crate Paper collection 'Cool Vibes'. So to start off the year I'm sharing a 12x12 traditional layout using the 'Willow' kits.

 

 

Now when I first opened my kits my eye was caught on the bright colours but also the little ampersands that I found in the ephemera pack which made me cut some out of the patterned papers in the TSK  as the made feature of the layout. I also hand stitched around a few of the ampersand which you will see in some of the close up images.

 

 

I absolutely love the colours in these kits, their just sooooo me!!

This layout was ended up turning into a page about me and just being and loving  myself hence why I used the shiny gold glitter Thickers which can be found the 'Willow' PLK.

 

 

I am all about self love so when  saw this ephemera piece I fell in love with it and knew I had to use it with a photo of myself. In this image you can also see one of the ampersands that I hand stitched around.

 

 

Now you all know I love my clustes of embellishments so I did them next two 3-4 ampersands using little pieces from the ephemera pack as well as in one of the clusters using one of the beautiful charms which had a cactus on it. I than finished the clusters with a few little rhinestones.

 

 

 

I did add a few little stamped sentiments using the stamp set from the 'Cool Vibes' collection.

 

 

 

I hope you have all received your 'Willow' kits by now and are enjoying creating with them as much I have been. Make sure to be sharing your creations using all the kits over on the Facebook Group too.

 

 

I hope you all have a lovely week adhered and I will be back soon with another project.

The Scrapper CT - 'Dream BIG'

Hi Scrappery fans, Lydia back finally to share a layout using the beautiful Violet Kits. It' been a while since I was here on the blog due to a crazy few months finishing Grade 11 at school, but I am now back and ready for 8 full weeks of creating and sharing.

Today's layout I am sharing features the stunning 'Bohemian Dream' collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio which is in the Violet Kits. I love this collection which has a lot of purple which is hard to find in scrapbooking collections.

Here is my layout featuring a dream catcher.

I absolutely love how this turned out and I have to say it is one of my favourite layouts.

For this title I used the pink Thickers that came in the kits and the gorgeous Cocoa Vanilla Studio chipboard pieces for the word 'BIG'.  



 

 

I layered a few of the floral pieces which can be found in the ephemera pack to place around the dream catcher which is made out of layered patterned paper from the collection as well as those beautiful and delicate doilies which are found in the kits.

 

 

I did some fringing to make some feathers to fall off the dream catcher using some of the beautiful patterned paper from Cocoa Vanilla.

 

 

 

 

Again I have to say this is one of my favourite layouts that I have done and I can't wait to create some more with these kits.

 

I'll be back really soon with another project.

Good morning, I hope you ae enjoying your weekend and are able to get some creative time in before the week ahead. Well today I have a quick and simple little project I made using the gorgeous 'Blair' kits. I have already told yo all how much I love these kits.

So here is my project. Just a simple card and a tag. This would be perfect to finish off a gift with a because card and tag. These colours just call for my attention with the touch of gold also.

This is a simple by pretty card I made using some scrap pieces of paper. I added one of those beautiful gold puffy stickers, some of the chipboard Thickers, enamel dots from my stash and some ink splatters also to finish the card off.

 

 

Here are some close ups of the card.

 

 

Now the tag I love! Again I used some scrap pieces of paper that are included in the kits, some chipboard Thickers again and some more of the beautiful Maggie Holmes puffy stickers. And nothing is finished without some enamel dots that are from my stash.

 

Here are some close ups.

 

 

 

 

I hope this little project I have created this week has inspired you to make just a little something even if it is just a card or a simple tag.

Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead.

The Scrappery CT - 'Happy Together'

Well hello Scrappery friends, Lydia back. I hope you are all well. So after starting a new school term and recovering from nearly three weeks with appendices, I am finally able to share a layout I created with the new 'Blair' kits.  Can I just say, I am in love with the colours and products in these kits.

So here is my first project using the kits.

 

 

Oh my, those colours are all me.  I love them so much. I did do some fussy cutting to give the page another element ad some dimension with those beautiful butterflies.

 

 

I love he botanical feel of this kit and the beautiful greens and pinks together. And you can't go past a little black and white also. I am also falling for those gold puffy stickers too.

 

 

A layout wouldn't be complete without one of those delicate doilies under the photo.  I also added some tiny words to my layout also.

 

 

And the title I used a mix of fronts form the Thickers that are in the TSK. And again I added some enamel dots to finish the page.

 

 

 

I hope you are all creating with your 'Blair' kits and I can't wait to see them if you post tem in the Scrappery Club Inspiration group on Facebook.

Have a wonderful day.

The Scrappery CT - 'happy sweet 16th birthday'

Hello Scrappery peeps, Lydia back to finally share another project using the 'Belle' kits. The past few weeks has been crazy with end of semester exams and then a school camp to start the school holidays, and in that process I lost my creative mojo and have been stuck in the ditch trying to get back out of it. But I am back and ready to get the paper and glue back out and to create.

So here is a project a I have been meaning to do a blog post for a few weeks and it is a sweet 16th card I made for one of my friends. I love how this card turned out wit the beautiful florals in the 'Belle' kits.

 

 

I did do a little bit of fussy cutting of the florals but it was worth it because they are gorgeous. I did use doily from my stash as it did need something delicate in the background.

 

 

I used the fabric Thickers and I also used one of the Cocoa Vanilla wood veneer words that says 'sweet'. I love the addition of the wood veneer and different font within the alpha's.

 

 

 

And of course to finished the card I added some of the beautiful glittery Cocoa Vanilla Studio enamel dots.

 

 

So I hope you like this card and I will sure be back very soon to share another project.

I am glad I am back and can't wait to do another blog post.

 

Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

The Scrappery CT - "Me + You = Us"

Happy Easter everyone. I hope you are all having a lovely day with family or if you are reading this after hope you had a great day filled with family fun. So far we are just relaxing at home today and enjoying some family time.

Although I would have liked to have had a Easter inspired layout/project to share I do have a layout which I love and is a lot simpler then what I normally do.  I love, love, love how this turned out and I really like how it is cute and soft but without a whole lot of embellishments.

 

 

I knew when I first got the 'Jade' kits I wanted to use the gorgeous gold glitter die cut as a title on one of my projects but I just didn't know how I  would us it a I am normally a Thickers girl for a title. After watching a few of HeyNaeDaily's videos on YouTube I was inspired by her layouts which have the photo in the center. So after added al my layers behind my photo I added the die cut underneath and made a bow out of one of the papers in the kit and added that too.

 

 

 

Behind my photo I added one f the beautiful dedicate doilies which come in the kits (Which you are unable to see), I also added same of the papers from the kits also. Within all the layers I added some white tulle to add a another element to make the layout soft and delicate.

 

 

I also got some of my trusty American Crafts cardstock from my stash nd got the Cricut machine out of the box to cut some die cut eaves which I added to both sides of the photo. I also added a gold paper clip which was in one of the past kits.

 

 

And last but not least I added some enamel dot from my stash an added a few splatters of the grey KaiserCraft spray which in The Colour Kit.

 

 

I hope you all have/had a wonderful Easter break and I will see you next week with another project.

The Scrappery CT - Mini Boxes

Good morning friends, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I sure am as school holidays is already half over but I have had loads of time to create.

When I first had the idea for todays project I thought this would be perfect for an Easter project on the blog, but once I started making it didn't turn out Easter at all. But you could always use it as an Easter idea.

Here is this weeks project which I loved to make as I don't normally do anything else other then my normal 12x12 layouts, cards and Project Life. These cute little noodle  boxes I made using a template I had, I am sure you could find a template on Pinterest ect.

 

 

I love how these turned out. All they used was a 6x6 size piece of patterned paper, adhesive and some embellishments. As I mentioned before I really wanted to make these for Easter but they didn't really turn out that way but I am sure you can see how s=cute they would be for Easter filled for some chocolate Easter eggs.

 

 

I did add some embellishments from past kits but used the papers and KaiserCraft gems. All these needed were a few small embellishments as these boxes are quite small.

 

 

 

And to finish them off I added a piece of bakers twine from my stash which I think made them cute. I did use those KaiserCraft bloom which I am loving at the moment.

 

 

 

And this navy twined worked perfectly for one of the three boxes I made.

 

 

Well I hope you all like this idea and make some of your own for Easter perhaps. I sure did have a lot of fun making them as they are really easy.

 

 

Have a great week ahead.
