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

Let's Walk Scrapbooking Layout

Hey all! Nicole here with a fun layout that I made using the March Color Kitz!  I'm documenting a photo of my and my hubby on a walk.  It was cold and dreary that day but we got our walk in anyway!  I love how this layout came together!
 

The first thing I did for this layout was to spray the background with the Rockin Robin paint from the kit.  Since there would be a rainbow on this I wanted the blue to be the sky behind the rainbow.  I also splattered with some Well Blue Me Down paint to give the background some interest!

I then fussy cut the rainbow, circles, and flowers from patterned paper in the kit.  I distressed the circles and rainbow layers and added them all to the background when it was dry.
 

I added my photo on some foam tape to the right of the layout and then added my title to the left of the photo.  I wrote my journaling under the title in blue.  I then added some blue doodle hearts to the background and finished off my layout with some iridescent sequins.

Let's Go 12x12 Scrapbooking Layout

 Hey all, Nicole here with my first project using the March Color Kitz!  You can see that this month's kits are just full of beautiful, bright colors!  I'm documenting me and the fam flying to Texas last December!

 The first thing that I did was use some clear gesso on the right side of that beautiful heart paper.  I then added 4 of the paints from the kit over on that side as well and let that dry.

 I then fussy cut some flowers from two of the patterned papers.  I added this with some of the die cuts from the kit to my embellishment clusters.  I also added my title with the letters that come with the kit!

Lastly I added some splatters of Black Hole to my clusters and called my layout done.

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!

I *heart* You Scrapbooking Layout

 Hey all!  Today I'm using the new February Color Kitz to make this fun mixed media scrapbooking layout documenting me and my hubby at the tea garden in San Antonio!

The first thing that I did for this layout was to use 3 different paints from the kit to make the background.  I basically just added the colors in 3 separate blobs around the page.  I then added some ink stenciling with the Love stencil that came with the kit.

I then did my paper piecing.  I cut 3 strips of patterned paper to make the photo mat and the little banners on the side of my layout.

I then added my embellishments.  I added some die cuts as well as fussy cut the green flowers to add those around the page.  I also added some little bits from my stash as well.

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout.  I hope it gives you some ideas on how to use you kitz :)
