January 2016 Kit at ***My Creative Scrapbook*** Layout 4 +Tutorial

Hi everyone, 
Today I would like to show you a layout that I made with the amazing January kit from "My Creative Scrapbook"! This kit has all pretty papers by Kaisercraft the Treasured Moments collection in specific also you will have the collectables from the same collection in this kit.  
For this layout I used the black and white papers but first take look at this beautiful kit:

For this layout I have a photo tutorial for you and I used the Marion Smith sheet in this kit combined with the green sheet form the Kaiserkraft collection which go lovely together. I used a picture of my two nieces for this layout and I really wanted to use the scissors in the collectables pack which I thought was could when it looked like it was cutting around the circle.

Sisters: 
Don't you just love these papers this is really one amazing kit to work with. This was a wonderful layout to make and not that hard too so here is my step by step photo tutorial but first have a closer look at my details: 

 As you can see I used two different card stock sheets in pink colors to match the flowers on the Marion Smith sheet and I used two sprays one by Prima color in bloom which was in a earlier kit from My Creative Scrapbook and one by Lindy's Stamp Gang.

I normally take a lighter color for my my background sheet so this was a real challenge for me but I think it worked out wonderfully with those sprays and gesso to make it a little lighter. As you may now I love to have many layers on my layouts and this was no exception I also love to stitch as I did here on the edges of my page and on the circle behind my picture. 

Here's my tutorial: 
 First you tare out a piece from that green sheet and cut out a circle from the flower sheet.

 Then I thought why place that tare on the left bottom of my layout and not on the top right side?? So I changed that composition because I think that looks much better. I also cut out two pieces of pink lace strips for the upper part of my layout and stitched all the border s of my layout.
Then I made some tares to go around the circle which I finished with some screw brads then I sprayed and used a script stencil underneath my circle. 

Then I cut out some elements to also place on my layout which are those roses & butterflies on the left. I also added the text strips and scissors!
And now I placed my picture as I liked it and finished my layout off with all the adds you get in this amazing January kit. Like the bling swirls, flowers and text strips. 
 As you see here I used the pieces I tore out in the beginning of my tutorial for a little more text!
Thank you so much for your visit today and I really hope you like my layout as much as I loved making it! Have a lovely day....

For this layout I used the black and white papers but first take look at this beautiful kit:
For this 3rd layout I used a picture of my dear parents in law all about making their first selfie ever! We had so much fun seeing this picture the first time they are both in the age of 70 and still very much in love with each other. And I think it's a wonderful first selfie don't you think so too?
For this layout I went all pink that's in the kit. 

You Make Me Smile:   
On the bottom of these papers are some amazing sayings which are great to use on you layouts also the collectables are a amazing addition to the papers. Let's have a closer look:

Treasure Today:

Precious Card for ***Cheery Lynn Designs***

Hi lovelies, 
As winter is not trying it's best to be very cold and snowy here in The Netherlands!
 I am longing for those warm day's already....so for today's post I used the pretty "Frolic"collection by the Blue Fern Studios to make a summery card. 
It's totally in contrast as what I posted on my Facebook page yesterday lol
As much as I love to make winter projects I also love fluttery summer and spring projects. 

I did a lot of stitching one this card which I love to do. 

Precious: 
 Every time I see this word it makes me giggle inside because of the movie "The Lord of the Rings"with Smeagol saying "My Precious"talking to the ring hihihi
This was a really fun and easy card to make if you want to know you can always email me and ask!
You can find my email address on my blog but now let's have a closer look:

First I cut out the largest die of the CM6 - A2 Frames Rectangle Scalloped as the base of my card and I also cut out the third one from the inside out to layer my text on. As you can see on my card I stitched on it as I do on most of my projects....with the machine though because it's way faster. Hand stitching though is way more prettier I think.

I really love all the flower dies by Cheery Lynn and the B324 - Poinsettia Strip which I used here is no exception normally I make my flowers more shabby but this time I only curled the leaves to give it more dimension.

My Happy Life Layout for ***Creative Embellishments*** + Playing at More Than Words

Goodmorning lovelies, 
Today I am up on the "Creative Embellishments" blog with another layout I made using some amazing chipboard pieces. This time it’s a layout about myself. I am a very happy lady with how my life is going {well most of the time, sometimes life is not always going according to how you want it to go but hey that’s life….} I have a wonderful husband, son & adorable dog! I love my job {being a optician} and most of all I really adore my creative life. Working with such great products is such a blessing. Well enough blabbering on how happy I am lol. For this layout I used the pretty “Frolic” collection and pretty Petaloo flowers which are by far my most favorite flowers.

My Happy Life: 
I totally went all girly on this one Creative Embellishments has the most amazing chipboard pieces and I really enjoy using those circle frames. The words and phrases are wonderful too it add so much to your layouts, cards and other projects. For this layout I used the word happy from the happy word set.  Let’s have a closer look:

I treated the chipboard with gesso, ink and embossing powder with multiple layers to give it a great finish. I really like how this layout turned out so weird to say that using my own picture BTW it’s a selfie hehe!

Creative Embellishments chipboard used:
Thank you so much for visiting my blog! Here it's a lovely sunny day that I am going to enjoy with walking {with our dog} and spending some time in my scrap room have a great weekend! For this layout I was inspired the theme Personality & Selfie at "More Than Words" challenge blog.
For me that is "celebrating everyday"and be "happy"with your life.. one day without laughing is one day not lived
 
Thank you so much ladies on this team to create a challenge blog again for us play filling that gape of not having "Scrap Around the World"be there anymore you ladies seriously ***ROCK***
