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.

I also have a process video that you can watch for this layout here: Fall Scrapbooking Layout

Good Vibes using the August Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all!  Nicole here with my second layout using the fabulous August Color Kitz Bundle.  I am documenting some fun we had in Japan while playing the claw machines.

The first thing I did for this layout was to make the background.  I actually started with the wavy paper from the kit and cut 5" strips of waves.  I then lined them up on the left side of the paper and distressed them.  Then I used 4 of the 5 paints that we got in the kit to make bursting rays on the right side of the page.

Next I added my photos with some mats made with paper from the kit.  I also distressed these and popped them up on foam.

 Lastly I added embellies from the kit, including: die cuts, stickers and a dotz.  I finished of with some journaling and then made some doodle hearts around my clusters.

Thanks so much for coming to read all about my layout!  I hope it gets you in a crafty mood.  If you are interested in grabbing the Color Kitz Bundle please use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes for a free gift with your order.  I also have a process video that you can watch here: https://youtu.be/rDEE3C1Grqc

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.

Mermaid Vibes Beach Layout Using the June Color Kitz

Hey all, Nicole here with this fun mixed media, beachy layout using the June Color Kitz.  I started by making my background on a sheet of Foundations paper with 2 sprays from the kit.  I have a video for this that you can watch here: Beachy Background 

I then distressed my pic and put it smack dab in the middle of the layout!  I used the die cuts that came with the kit for my title and lots of embellies throughout the layout!

I fussy cut some gold shells from one of the papers in the kit and added those, along with some stickers amongst the other embellies.  I also added the mermaid scales dot to the upper right of my photo.

Spe-shell Layout Using the June Color Kitz

 Hey all! Nicole here with my first layout of the month.  I'm using the June Color Kitz which is full of beach side goodness!  I'm actually just documenting a photo of my and my youngest LA bound on the plane, but I thought this collection was so fun and wanted to use it.

The first thing I did for this layout was to make the colorful background.  I used three of the shimmerz paints that come in the kit... Jeni B Blue, Lilac Blossom, and Stay Golden.  I have a video showing how to make the background here: Shimmerz unboxing and mixed media backgrounds

 Next I used the papers from the kit to mat my photos and create some arrows on the right side of the page.  I am scraplifting from Jessica Michaels so this layout might look familiar, thanks Jessica!  I also fussy cut out some of the gold shells from another patterned paper.

Finally I used lots of goodies from the kit to embellish my page.  I also used some buttons and sequins from my stash to add some extra to it.  I finished with some splatters of the Jeni B Blue.

A Rainy Day Scrapbooking Layout Using the Color Kitz Bundle

Hey all!  Nicole here with my first layout of the month using the Color Kitz Bundle!  I am documenting a rainy day in Prague!  I used the cut file that comes with the kit to make this rainbow out of white card stock.  I then glued it down on my page and used the paints that came with the kit to paint in the rainbow, I was not careful at all while doing this since I wanted a messy rainbow.

 

I also took the negative clouds and painted them with the Freshly Minted Inklings as well.  Once everything was dry I then added the clouds to my layout with some dimensional foam tape.

I then took the paper from the kit that had white flowers on a pink background and the paper with the shamrocks on it and fussy cut out the shapes.  I added them to four areas on my page starting my clusters.  I then took the wooden stars and scattered them amongst the clusters.

 

To finish off my cluster I splattered with some Black Hole Color Splash.  I then added my title and some journaling.

Thanks so much for stopping in to read about my layout.  You can also watch my process video for this layout here: Mixed Media Scrapbooking

Puzzles & Coffee Layout Using the Shimmerz January Color Kit Bundle

 Hey all! Nicole here with my second layout of the month.  I'm using the January Color Kitz Bundle to make this layout documenting some puzzle time and a cuppa coffee!

The first thing that I did for this layout was to cut the pink hearts paper slanted across a white cardstock.  I marked with a pencil where those papers lay on the card stock and then added some paints from the kit using a stamp to control where the paint was going.  I then ran my layout through a laminator to get it as flat as possible. Next I added my patterned paper to the layout.

I added some patterned paper behind my pics for a little more dimension.  I added them to opposite corners of the page, popped up on some foam tape.

Next I added the die cuts from the kit.  I added lots of dies that I thought were warm and cozy since this was a stay inside, nice and warm activity.

Also in the kit are some cute stickers that includes trees, little sparkles, and hearts.  I decided to add these among my clusters around the layout.  I added my title with some rubon alphas from my stash and my page was complete.
