And oh my heart! The colors in this month's kit are just divine!!!
Here's a reminder of what the September Color Kitz look like....

Wow!!!

The Kit includes the following items:

• 1 1 oz bottle of the exclusive new color: Practice What You Peach Spritz
• 1 package of exclusive Dotz "Gingham Greatness"
• 1 jar of Wisteria Lane Shimmerz
• 1 jar of In A Jam Creameez

Simply stunning! 

If you're super quick, and really lucky there might be one or two of these Color Kitz still in stock - visit the shop HERE. 

Here's what I created with them...

"Cherish"

Oh my! Cherish indeed!

There's no denying that the September Color Kitz are perfect for all your Fall theme projects!

Just stunning!

My pretty layout actually began as a quick wreath painting that I shared to the Shimmerz Paintz Sharez Facebook page a couple weeks ago - you might remember it? 

Isn't this a pretty approach to testing your colors? So much more lovely than a color swatch! 

And as I like to say, when in doubt wreath it out!

I used the gorgeous Vibez Palm Reader for the leaves, Creameez In A Jam for the rose, the all new exclusive Spritz Practice What You Peach for the smaller blooms, and an array of tiny dot flowers with Shimmerz Wisteria Lane. 

With such a gorgeous wreath on my desk, I felt inspired to create another...

This time I painted straight onto my pretty pattern paper & used the beautiful Creameez In A Jam for the foliage. The blooms were painted in Shimmerz Wisteria Lane, and I added a few splatters for good measure too!  

I fussy cut around the original wreath, and foam mounted it onto the newly painted one. This created both dimension & interest to the design and also added some depth to the combined wreaths as well. 

Between the layered wreaths, I tucked in two of the Gingham Greatness Dotz - LOVE!!!!

I embellish my photo cluster with fussy cut florals from the Jen Hadfield, Along The Way collection and add a good sprinkle of the SpiegelMom Scraps Summer Morn sequins. 

Such beauti-Fall details!!!

Interested in seeing how I painted those wreaths, and created this layout?

Falling for September Color Kitz with Samantha Robles

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous Labor Day weekend. A long weekend is the perfect time to get caught up in the crafting department. Shimmerz Paints released their new September Color Kitz Collections and the new Original Kitz is AAAAMAZING. It comes with a new exclusive color "Practice What You Peach" Spritz. This color goes on sheer in the first spray but it is a very buildable color. The more you spray it, the more vibrant it becomes. It goes from a peach flesh hue to a vibrant peachy pink hue quickly. It's stunning.

 These colors are the perfect Fall staple. It's not your typical Fall kit. These colors can be used year round. What's included is:

• In A Jam Creameez
• The new exclusive color: Practice What You Peach Spritz
• Keep Palm Vibez
• Wisteria Lane Shimmerz
• A new exclusive package of Dotz

What caught my eye though was a photo I had stashed away from an old layout that fell apart. It was my baby's first Fall and his first time experiencing leaves. It created the perfect inspiration to use with these colors.

Starting with a blank sheet of white heavy cardstock. I love heavy cardstock because the more you add to it, it doesn't bow or warp. I then used this Paige Evan's Cut File from her fabulous Etsy shop. I sprayed some with Practice What You Peach and painted some with Wisteria Lane Shimmerz. Wisteria Lane is a very soft darker lavender purple. The leaves were painted and sprayed with In A Jam Creameez and Keep Palm Vibez. After letting my pieces dry for an hour or so, I then hot glued all my pieces together. While my glued pieces were cooling, I backed the photo with some of my Truly Grateful Pink Paislee paper. This paper matches PERFECTLY with Keep Palm. Adding little pieces here and there of my journaling pieces from the same collection to add that finishing to backing the photo. Then I take more hot glue and add my flowers to the page.

I popped in the adorable Dotz available in the kit to play peek-a-boo between the flowers on both the top and bottom of the page.

The final piece is adding some journaling lines and some fun stickers on the bottom.

Super simple but that color makes the page POP. I'm all about keeping it simple. Don't overwhelm yourself or the page with ton's of details. Sometimes, the colors you use make the page what it is. That's why the September Kitz are amazing.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Happy Fall, y'all!
