Hello Sunshine 12x12 Scrapbooking Layout

Hey all!  Nicole here with my layout using the April Color Kitz!  I'm making this page to document my sweet little kitty laying on my lap...I just love that!  

The first thing that I did for this layout was pick the paper I wanted to use.  I went with this green paper with white flowers on it and the reverse side had this beautiful orange.  I placed that papers where I wanted on some 12x12 watercolor paper to see where to add my mixed media.  I used the Marigold and Lawn and Order Shimmerz pots to make the painted background.

When my paint was dry, I added my papers down as well as my picture.  I then started embellishing.  I remembered that there was a paper with black and white flowers so I decided to fussy cut some of the flowers for my embellishment clusters.

I then added one of the dotz and some of the die cut pieces to my layout, including my title, Hello Sunshine!  I finished off the layout by adding some sequins from my stash.

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout.  I hope it gives you an idea of how to use your kit and paints.  I also have a process video for this that you can watch here: Hello Sunshine Process Video

Fly With Me Scrapbooking Layout

 Hey all! Nicole here with another layout using the February Color Kitz to document a pic of me and my hubby on our way to Japan.  I had such a fun time creating this layout for such a special pic :)

I started by making my background.  I wanted to use the paints in the kit to make what looks like a color study in the background.  I added the paints with varying amounts of water to achieve this look.  I then cut down my watercolor paper and added a border with patterned paper.

 

I added my photo with a patterned paper mat to my page.  I then cut out my title using one of the patterned papers and some metal dies from my stash.

I then added 3 clusters to my page with die cuts.  I also added brown buttons and sequins from my stash.

Thanks for popping on to read about my layout.  I hope it gives you some crafty ideas on how to use your kitz!

Fall Scrapbooking Layout Using the November Color Kitz

Hey all, Nicole here with my first layout using the November Color Kitz.  I made a very fall inspired layout documenting me and my friend out for dinner.

The first thing that I did for this layout was to make the banner pieces.  I cut the strips of paper to 2 1/2 inches wide.  I then used a banner punch to make the pieces.  I distressed all the pieces then used foam dots to adhere to my watercolor paper.  I used all 5 paints that come with the kit to add color above and below the banner pieces.

 I then embellished with goodies from the kit in two clusters on the banner.  I also added sequins and thread to my clusters.

I just loved the way this layout turned out!  The November Color Kitz were absolutely perfect for this!  I hope you got some inspiration from this layout on how to use your Shimmerz kitz.  You can still find this kit available in the shop and don't forget to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your order.
