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!

 Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the fun                                                                         treasures there!

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.

      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   

 Inklingz: Blue My Mind and Imperial Amethyst.

Snow Much Fun | Color Kitz | Shannon Allor

Hello friends!  It’s Shannon up on the blog today and I’m so excited to bring you this layout featuring the January 2026 Color Kitz, Paper Kitz and Bonuz Bundle!  I am loving this gorgeous color palette and adorable snowy patterns!

I adore this little penguin!  It was perfect to layer with the Dotz and customizable coloring page!

I found a piece of white cardstock in my stash that I had previously covered with gesso.  I used all of our gorgeous mixed media goodies to create this icy background.  The colors blended so well together and dried with lots of shimmery goodness!

These collections were perfection for documenting this memory of my daughter and her pals in wintery Northern Michigan!
