Making Memories | Melissa Minor | January 2025 Color Kitz

 

Hello friends! Melissa Minor here on the blog today. I'm sharing a layout I made using the beautiful January 2025 Color Kitz. I first started with a piece of mixed media white cardstock cut to 11x11. I then outlined with a pencil where I wanted to paint. I applied Pink About It Inklingz all around the page. I backed my photos with the patterned paper from the kit. I matted the mixed media cardstock to a sheet of green cardstock from my stash. I really love all the paint colors in the kit this month!

Next I came in with a holly leaf stencil and Distress Oxide ink in the color Iced Spruce. I then added some pops of color for berries around the leaves. The puffy stickers in the kit are amazing and we get 2 sheets of them. I used every leaf sticker and added to the layout. 

I used a few of the adorable ephemera pieces to make embellishment clusters. The photos I'm documenting are of my family at my boyfriend's work Christmas party. The girls made gingerbread houses and did some arts & crafts. The best part of the party was the magician coming to visit our table. The girls were throughly impressed with his tricks!

I have a full process video linked below. Be sure to add my name to your Shimmerz Paints orders to receive a free gift! 

Happy crafting,
