Fly With Me Scrapbooking Layout


 Hey all! Nicole here with another layout using the February Color Kitz to document a pic of me and my hubby on our way to Japan.  I had such a fun time creating this layout for such a special pic :)

I started by making my background.  I wanted to use the paints in the kit to make what looks like a color study in the background.  I added the paints with varying amounts of water to achieve this look.  I then cut down my watercolor paper and added a border with patterned paper.


 

I added my photo with a patterned paper mat to my page.  I then cut out my title using one of the patterned papers and some metal dies from my stash.

I then added 3 clusters to my page with die cuts.  I also added brown buttons and sequins from my stash.

Thanks for popping on to read about my layout.  I hope it gives you some crafty ideas on how to use your kitz!

I also have a process video for this layout here: Fly With Me Scrapbooking Process

Until next time, Nicole Santos

I *heart* You Scrapbooking Layout


 Hey all!  Today I'm using the new February Color Kitz to make this fun mixed media scrapbooking layout documenting me and my hubby at the tea garden in San Antonio!

The first thing that I did for this layout was to use 3 different paints from the kit to make the background.  I basically just added the colors in 3 separate blobs around the page.  I then added some ink stenciling with the Love stencil that came with the kit.

I then did my paper piecing.  I cut 3 strips of patterned paper to make the photo mat and the little banners on the side of my layout.

I then added my embellishments.  I added some die cuts as well as fussy cut the green flowers to add those around the page.  I also added some little bits from my stash as well.

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout.  I hope it gives you some ideas on how to use you kitz :)

I also have a process video for this layout that you can watch here: I heart you Scrapbooking Process

Until next time, Nicole Santos

You Are a QT | Color Kitz Collections | Shannon Allor

 Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you my first layout using the February 2026 Color Kitz, Paper Kitz & Bonuz Bundle!  I am loving the color story and all of the cute icons!  I started out by customizing the “coloring page” so that I would have lots of options ready!


This background was perfect for framing this sassy photo of my daughter swinging on a giant swing!  I layered up lots of the mixed media goodies to create an engaging background.  I used clear gesso to start.  It really helped to keep my paper from warping too much.


I love the texture that I got from using the stencil.  I layered some of the adorable diecuts on top with a bit of dimensional foam.


This was so fun to put together!  It came together in a snap!

Remember to put my name into the comments section when you place your next order to score a freebie!

Happy Scrapping!

To make these cards, I cut a 12" x 12" piece of watercolor paper in half.
I stenciled on Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula.
 
 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.

I rubbed on gold mica powder on a lot of the background and raised areas on the page.




To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,pearls,lace, crystals, glass glitter, tulle, fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers, paper flowers and chipboard, and bling and metal from my stash. All the sequins are from Shimmerz Paints.
