Happy New Year, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. It has been crazy at my house but I had to carve out some time to work with this awesome January Color Kit from Shimmerz Paints as soon as possible.
I want to begin by letting you all know that the yellow paper you see is from my stash. There is a little bit of yellow in the photo and I wanted to include that color more prominently onto my layout. When I first reached for my supplies I went for white cardstock, as usual. But I was curious how the colors in the kit would work out on black cardstock instead. My gut told me it would be fabulous and I was right! Although the shimmery goodness in the colors makes it more difficult to see here, the colors are vibrant and gorgeous in real life.
I began by simply splattering each of the colors onto the cardstock. They include Vibes-Beach Glass, Inklingz-The Holly & The Ivy, Inklingz-Pink About It, Shimmerz-Golden Wheat, and Shimmerz-Buddy's Favorite Color.
Next, I chose 3 of the pattern papers and die-cut 3 circles out of each paper. I strategically placed them "randomly" around the page making sure to leave enough room for the photo and embellishments in the bottom right.
I then placed some craft foam behind my photo and glued it down. Once I chose the ephemera pieces I wanted to use I placed some around the layout and clustered others under the photo.
Finally, I grabbed the puffy stickers from the kit and added some of them to the layout as well. I also used a gel pen to add a small amount of journaling to the page. This layout came together in record time for me. I had a clear vision in the beginning and everything worked out just as I had planned. I couldn't be happier.
If you would like to see this one come together you can check out my video below. Don't forget to add my name to your Shimmerz order for a FREE product.
Happy New Year!
