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 Scrappery CT - Weeks 47 & 48 Project Life Spread

Happy Sunday everyone, Lydia back today to share my first Project Life style layout using the brand new 'Jade' kits I use the PLK and a mix of the other kits. Unfortunately I didn't have a project last week due to having a school assignment due but I am back and I am very excited because the brand new January kits arrived at my door during the week.

 

 

I am excited to share my first Project Lie spread here on The Scrappery blog as I almost have a whole year to catch up on.

Here is the whole spread. I love all the colours which are in these kits.

 

 

Here is the left side of the spread.

 

 

And the right side of the spread.

 

 

I loved using the Cocoa Vanilla cut apart sheets which came in the PLK. Since this was my first time receiving the PLK I knew I wanted to share a Project Life spread with it because how could I not with all those gorgeous colours. Ronelle does an amazing shop coordinating and designing all the kits.

So here are a few close ups of the little embellishment clusters I did around the spread.

 

 

Oh I am in love with those KaiserCraft florals and sequins together, you will be seeing that a lot this month.

 

 

 

And this weeks spread actually included me receiving my first DT package as part of The Scrappery CT.

 

 

 

So I hope you all enjoyed my first Project Life spread and my first creation using the brand new January 'Jade' kits.

Have a wonderful week, Lydia xxx.

The Scrappery CT - "LOVE"

Good morning beautiful Scrappery peeps, Happy Sunday! Am I glad that it is the weekend and the first week down of school. This past week I started Grade 11 so it's been quite crazy. But today I am sharing another 12x12 layout using the December "Nigella" kits.

 

 

I had seen someone cut this constellation paper into the circle and I loved it so I decided to use that, add my photo to the top right corner of the circle and add a floral cluster down in the bottom left corner.

 

 

I love adding a little bit of texture with some whit thread behind my photo and clusters, because you all know I love clusters haha.

 

 

Now at first I wasn't to fussed on the cork and gold glitter embellishment stickers. This was because I found they were chunky and big to what I am compared to what I like to use but I really like the contrast of the cork brown against the navy blue.

 

 

 

This layout defiantly isn't the clean and white space type of layout I love to create but I knew I had to change it up a bit to use this constellation paper. So in the bottom left corner on the edge of the circle and the little white space I had I added some fussy cut florals and some small embellishments to form a cluster to make the layout balanced.

 

 

I added two of the beautiful puffy stickers, some washi from the washi sheets, a label and the pink butterfly rub-on.

 

 

 

And to finish the layout off I added some of the KaiserCraft gold splatters using the spray that came in the TCK (The Colour Kit). I hope you all like this layout and I will be back next week for another layout.

The Scrappery CT- "Myself & I"

Happy Sunday Scrappery friends. I hope you are all hopefully having a creative day. So today I am back to share another layout using the new "Nigella" December kits. Now I have to say this would have to be my favourite kits so far because I absolutely LOVE these kits and the layouts I am producing with them.

Here is my layout.

 

 

I love these kits so much that I have been using all photos of me on my layouts as these colours in the kits are just so me. I did add my own thickers from my stash to add a bit of with the gold glitter.

 

 

I finally got my little mixed media groove on and added some of the gorgeous Heidi Swapp Silver Metallic Texture Paste which comes in the brand new TCK "The Colour Kit. Now I am not one for silver and gold together but I love how this added a nice feature to the layout with the bit of gold also.

 

 

Now these gold paperclips are to die for. I think I have used one on every layout. But I though it would be a cute feature to add it to look like it is holding that gorgeous "Moonstruck" collection puffy sticker to my photo and photo layers. I also added some of the washi tape strips as well as some of the Kaisercraft Rhinestones.

 

 

I added some gold rub-on stars also from the kits to add a little something to the layout.

 

 

This tiny embellishment cluster at the bottom of the layout is using the beautiful washi tape shapes. I love how translucent they are and how soft they look on he layout.

 

 

And to finish it off I add a cluster at the bottom of the page with some washi stickers and a rub-on. Also added a mini puffy sticker and some more of the Kaisercraft Rhinestones.

 

 

I hope you love this layout as much as I do and make sure to share your creations using the "Nigella" kits over on the Scrappery FB group.

The Scrappery CT - "Carpe Diem"

Hey everyone Lydia here to share my first creation using the new December 'Nigella' kits.

I am so excited to have received my new kits this week to sharing off the creating for 2017.

With these kits came the brand new TCK 'The Colour Kit' which is perfect for all you mixed media fans. In the projects I will be sharing in the next few weeks I will e using the TSK, BPK and the TCK.

 

 

Here is my first creation. I am so in love with these kits which are full to the brim with Pink Paislee "Moonstruck" collection.

What not to title my layout "Carpe Diem" to seize the day. Also how cute is that gold bow?

Now I have to admit when the scrapbooking companies started bringing out the washi booklets/sheets I wasn't too fussy, but now I love them. You get s many different little washi strips and shapes and they are perfect for all projects.

How could I not add more of the shiny gold to this layout especially this gold leaf lace which is also  the kit as well as those gorgeous delicate paper doilies.

Now I can't remember the last time I used a rub-on but it felt so good to use one. That beautiful floral is from the "Moonstruck" rub-on pack which is in the BPK. I also added a few gold and black sequins to finish the page off a bit.

 

And I added more gold..... This beautiful gold Kaisermist which is included in the new TCK was perfect for this layout. Also did a little cluster up in the top left corner to bring the page together.

That my scrappy friend is the first layout for you. I can't wait to hear when you ll start to receive your kits and get creating with them.
