When Life Gives You Lemons | Sarah Millerhouse | July 2024 Color Kitz

Hello friends! I am so excited to share my first layout featuring the July Color Kitz! I absolutely LOVE the colors in this kit! It’s one of my favorite Kitz ever!

I started by adding color across the middle horizontally! I added both the yellow shades (Coloringz - No Yolking and Color Splash - Squeeze the Day) and let them blend and mix! I then used a stencil and ink from my stash to add little pie piece shapes that I thought looked like lemons! I then layered on the Shimmerz - Berry Smart to add a touch of pink! I added this with a brush and then went back and moved it around and smudged it with a piece of packaging. 

I also painted the paintable ephemera sheet included in the Kitz and fussy cu
t out the images! This is where many of the beautiful strawberries and lemons came from! I also fussy cut lemons and leaves from patterned paper in the collection! 

I added my photos in a strip down the middle, matted with patterned paper from the collection. I LOVE all the patterned papers on the July Kitz!! It was then time for some fun layering up the ephemera and pieces I had fussy cut around the photos! I had so much fun doing this and enjoyed every second of it! 

I also layered in some tangled thread and the BEAUTIFUL sequins from the Bonuz Bundle! I added in a few more pieces of ephemera and my block of journaling! I had to print it in super tiny font since I had so much to say about this day! (Tip: I always go back and look to see if and what I posted about on Facebook about different life events with my kids. Often times, this makes the journaling process more specific and full of details that I might’ve otherwise forgotten. On this layout, I was able to print my exact words from the Facebook post and capture everything I wanted to remember!)

I added a little of the paint in places where most of it was covered, and then I added coordinating Pops of Color around my clusters.
