My Sweet Boy Using the July Color Kitz

Hey all!  Nicole here with another layout using the July Color Kitz!  Today I'm documenting my sweet dog, Rocky.  This was our last day with Rocky and it brings up such emotion, so I thought it would be nice to document with some bright cheerful colors.
 

 The first thing I did for this layout was to make the background.  I used all the shimmerz and sprays to make this from the kit.

Next I paper pieced from the papers that came with the kit, trying to match the colors with the paints.

Finally I used elements from the kits to embellish!  I also added some buttons and sequins from my stash.  I added my title using a stamp and finished with journaling.

Thanks so much for stopping in to read about my layout!  You can grab the July Color Kitz in the shop and don't forget to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to grab a free gift with your order!  I also have a process for this page here: Shimmerz Process Video

Until next time, Nicole Santos

Cheers | Shimmerz Paints Color Kit | Brandy Vaughn

Hello! Brandy here with a new layout featuring the July Color Kit from Shimmerz Paints. This kit was perfect for creating a layout to document a flight of fruity drinks I had with a friend.


I began by choosing the papers I wanted to use for my grid design. I layered them all up and placed them onto my background.


Next, I backed the gorgeous acetate fruit pieces with white cardstock.


Then, I fussy cut some flowers from one the papers.


Next, I chose a title and a few phrase stickers from my stash.


Finally, I assembled all the pieces and added some splatters with Inklingz-Old Yeller, and this layout was complete.

I love the colors of this one and how easily it all came together.
You can grab this month's kit from the Shimmerz Shop.
Don't forget to add my name to your order for a free product!
xoxo

Summer Memories Using the July Color Kitz

Hey all, Nicole here with my first layout using the beautiful July Color Kitz!  I'm documenting this silly photo of my youngest while we were traveling back in May!

The first thing I did for this layout was add some texture paste through a heart stencil on a piece of Foundations Mixed Media Paper for my background.  I then used all the colors that come in the kit to add lines of paint going down the middle, making sure to add some splatters as well.

I then grabbed the black and white floral paper that comes with the kit and colored 3 flowers with all the colors and painted some leaves with the Evergreen Shimmerz as well.

Next I added some torn patterned paper to my layout along with my photo that was matted with some different paper from the kit.  I added all my flowers and leaves and then I added embellishments from the kit as well as my title.  Lastly I added some splatters of Black Hole to the layout to add that finishing touch.

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout.  You can grab the kit and the Black Hole paint in the Shimmerz shop and use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift.  You can also watch my process video for this layout here: Summer Memories Mixed Media Scrapbooking Layout

Until next time, Nicole Santos

Orange You Cute! | Creating With The July Color Kitz

 Oh my goodness! I absolutely love the July Color Kitz. The colors are so bright and remind me of all things summer. I started with a piece of 12x12 Mixed Media Foundation Cardstock. I pulled several paints from the kit to create a mixed media painted background. I used Sunny-Shimmerz, Orange You Glad-Coloringz, Lettuce Get Together-Creameez, and Evergreen-Shimmerz. 


Next I torn the patterned paper that has the oranges, lemons, and limes design on it. I added this torn paper horizontally across the top and bottom of the page. Next I cut a half inch strip of the orange plaid paper. My layout design is fairly simple and came together very quickly. 


I adhered the velum fruit ephemera to a piece of white cardstock and fussy cut them out. This gave the pieces a little more stability and allowed me to add some foam tape to the back of them. I backed my photos with various pieces of paper from the kit. 
I embellished with a few of the tiny foam dot stickers. With that my layout is complete. Remember when you shop on the Shimmerz Paints website you can add my name "Melissa Minor" to the notes section and 
Shimmerz will send you a free paint. 


I'll be back later this month with another layout. Until next time, happy scrapping!
