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!

Winter Memories Scrapbooking Layout

Hey all, Nicole here with my second scrapbooking layout using the January Color Kitz!  I am documenting a sweet winter moment in the Rose Garden at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens last month! 

I started with adding the Loose Lips Pink Ships Inklingz onto my watercolor paper for the background.  I added it in a kind of L shape to the upper right of the layout.

Next I made some winter flowers using a die and patterned paper from the kit.  I added the flowers and lots of die cuts to the L shape. I matted my photo on patterned paper and added 2 strips to the top and bottom of the page.
 

I finished the page by making a little cluster down in the lower left of the page with the title.  I added some sequins from my stash and my journaling.

Thanks for popping on to read all about my layout!  I hope it gets you in a crafty mood!  You can still grab the January Color Kitz over at the shop and use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your order!  I also have a process video for this layout here: Winter Memories Scrapbooking Process Video

Until next time, Nicole Santos
