Winter Memories | Color Kitz, Paper Kitz & Bonuz Bundle | Shannon Allor

 

Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you my first layout featuring the January 2026 Color Kitz, Paper Kitz & Bonuz Bundle!  I am smitten with the Sequinz and wanted to make sure that they were highlighted in this layout.

I created a bold Sequinz shelf by applying liquid adhesive under the photo and title area.  It works best if you let it sit for a minute or so.  I then poured my Sequinz onto the adhesive and gently pressed them into the glue.  I love how it turned out!

The patterned papers are perfectly curated for documenting your icy winter adventures!  My daughter and her gal pals headed up to Northern Michigan for a weekend.  I love how this blend of mixed media, die cuts and Dotz made it all come together!

I love all of the snowflakes!  I used the gorgeous Color Kitz and Bonuz Bundle on them to customize them and bent up the edges a bit.

Just Chilling Using the January Color Kitz

Hey all! Nicole here with my first layout using the January Color Kitz!  These kits are full of soft winter colors and just perfect for all your seasonal memories! Today I'm documenting me and my hubby at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens.

The first thing that I did was create the background!  I used all the paints in the kit to make a blob of beautiful on a 12x12 watercolor paper.  I then added some splatters and set aside to dry.

Next I did some paper piecing.  I have a little wedge that I use for a template and cut 5 of the patterned papers to make this circular element to the left of my photo.  I distressed all the papers and my photo and then attached to the background!

Lastly I added die cuts and one of the dotz from the kit, making sure to add the title "Just Chillin'".  I also added some journaling and some little iridescent bubbles to the page to finish it off!

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout!  I hope I gave you some good tips on how to use your Shimmerz product.  If you decided to grab this kit or anything else from the Shimmerz shop, please make sure to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your order.

Deck the Halls Scrapbooking Layout

Hey all!  Today I'm bringing you another layout using the super fun and festive December Color Kitz!  I am documenting me decking out the Christmas tree!

I started this layout with the middle paper piecing.  I tore 2 patterned papers from the kit and layered them up in the center of the layout.  I then fussy cut some scalloped edge rectangles from another or the patterned papers.  I arranged them on my page and marked the areas I wanted to add mixed media to.  I wound up using the 2 pink paint colors from the kit to make my mixed media areas.  I then went again and put all my papers down as well as my pics.

I then added die cuts to the sides of the photos including Christmas trees, dotz, and wordy bits.

I finished my page with some ephemera for the title area, some journaling, and some Black Hole splatters.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my page and it gives you some idea of how to use your December Kit.  If you decide to grab this kit over at the shop, don't forget to use my name Nicole to the shopping cart notes to grab you a free gift with your order!  I also have a process video for this layout that you can watch here: Nicole's YouTube Channel

Pinners Scrapbook Layout

 Hey all! Nicole here with my newest layout using the December Color Kitz!  I am documenting me and my cousin's trip to Pinners this last November.

 

The first thing I did for this layout was to make the background.  I used a plain piece of cardstock for this one and used all the colors to make this circular element on the page.

 I then paper pieced my mats for my photo and die cut out the title using patterned papers from the kits.  I used some of the ephemera from the kit to add embellishing to the layout as well.

I finished with some do dads from my stash to add around the paint circle and some journaling.

Thanks for popping on to read about my layout.  I have a process video that you can watch for this layout here: Nicole's YouTube Channel 

I hope I gave you some inspiration on how to use your December Color Kit.  If you would like to grab the color kit please use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your purchase!

Until next time, Nicole Santos
 

Merry Christmas | Color Kitz, Paper Kitz & Bonuz Bundle | Shannon Allor

 Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this layout featuring the Color Kitz, Paper Kitz and Bonuz Bundle for December 2025.  I love the mix of diecuts, mixed media goodies and Dotz!

I started by matting this adorable Christmas tree paper onto a bold stripe (don’t worry, I made sure to gut the stripe first).  I matted the photo with the striped paper but wanted a bit more drama behind it.  Pool Me Close to the rescue in a bold swatch of color.  It mimicked the sky color perfectly!

I painted this cute Christmas tree with Jilted Jade and Pool Me Close and then added some splatters with Lover’s Lips.  It adds the perfect curated touch to this layout!

I fussy cut out this string of lights and the star and made sure that I created dimension with them.  I love how much shimmer and shine the Color Kitz gave me!
