Hello Canaries!  I'm back with another share using the March "Playful" Scrapbook Kit.  This time I pulled out items to create a pink, orange and gold colour palette and used the gold foil on the frame as my title.  



I added journalling strips and sewed a box around them to mimic the frame around the photo above the text.  I added two of the sweet little wood veneer dots to highlight the last sentence.




I used one of the overlays with gold foil spots UNDER my photo instead of over it so that the gold spots would become an embellishment layer over the patterned papers rather than over the photo.

This Pinkfresh Studio die-cut arrow adds some interest to the top part of my page and directs the viewer's eye to the photo. 



This is probably my favourite layout from this kit- don't be afraid to use pink on your layouts with boys- after all, the journalling was from my Mama heart!

When I saw the giant "Love Love Love Love" on one of the patterned papers in the March "Playful" Kit I knew I just had to scrap this photo of my little boy with his Sweetie.  

The background of my photo was quite busy so I used an overlay and frame from the kit to hide some of it and to draw focus to the little cuties in the photo.




I layered up some of the diecuts to make an embellishment cluster...





.....and another little cluster to which I added one of the fun wooden dots...




.....and I clipped all the layers for my photo with one of the giant gold paperclips included in the kit.




I don't know how long this little romance will last, but it's serious enough right now for me to want to document it ;-)

I made another small cluster on the opposite side to make a spot for the date.



Here's another look at that yummy texture on my background....



Don't be afraid to use watercolour paper as the base for your layouts- it will take almost anything you can throw at it!

 Hello, Chantelle here with another page using the Playful Scrapbooking Kit - I'm up to number 4 and am coming close to using up all the papers and bits from the kit.

 For this page, I chose the 12x12 paper by Elles Studio - the red dots matched in nicely with the red in my photo.  I love that it's quite a subtle background too.
I've used another overlay - I've really enjoyed these as they work great over your photo's to add that extra 'something'.
Here are a few close-up's:
 I still had some cork stars from a previous kit, so I've added them on to this page - they matched in well with the gold die-cut star.  I've also embossed some white cardstock!
I quite often use the 'info strip' along the 12x12 papers - this one with the arrows was just too cool to throw away .....
The gold thickers made a great title - there's lots of gorgeous gold in this kit!

I hope you've been inspired to create some wonderful things with your kit.
I'll see you soon again ♥

 Hi Canaries!  I'm back with another layout share using the March "Playful" Scrapbook Kit.  I created an 8.5" x 11" page using mostly the Pinkfresh Studio products in the kit.  This is our dog Ebony and she doesn't feature in my scrapbook layouts anywhere near as much as she should!




I fussy-cut some of the elements from the patterned paper to create my own embellishments- I love to do that and it makes really good use of paper scraps. 



I added the darling wooden dots to my fussy-cut flowers.



I layered my photo on top some of the tissue paper that comes in the pack of overlays and placed one of the gold overlays on top of my photo.  



This page was so much fun to create- I am loving using products that I never would have picked out myself :-)

I hope you're having as much fun with this kit as I am!

 Hello there, I'm back to share another scrapbooking page using the Playful Kit. My previous page was very much blue and this one is all about the pink.  I've picked up on the green as well.

 I love the 12x12 Pink Fresh paper and have used half with the lovely script wording 'love'.  It makes a big impact on the page and I haven't added too much more on that side of the page.
Here are a few close-up's:
 I've added in some journaling over the die-cut from Pink Fresh.  I love the touches of gold that you see on lots of embellishments these days - very on-trend ☺
I've used gelato's to create a little background of my own - I've used it to mat the photo.
Create a little paint palette with the pink gelato by drawing onto a plastic lid; add some water to create a pool of paint.  Then dip a stamp into the paint and stamp onto the white cardstock.  I've also done this in green.  While I had the gelato paint going, I flicked some from the brush onto the paper!
Check out the range of gelatos in the Scrappy Canary Store! They are fun to use.
I've also done a bit of hand stitching - adding in a bit more green ☺
I've used more die-cuts and also some of the over-lays by Simple Stories - the gold dots really add some shine and compliment the rest of the gold accents on the page.
The photo has been framed with the American Crafts frame - the pink worked in well with the pattern paper. 
The sheets of washi tape were really cool to use and it was great to have a nice selection on each page.
I love how the pattern papers and embellishments in the kit are always perfectly matched!!

Thanks for coming by and I'll be back again to share more scrappy goodness ♥

Hello Canaries!  I'm back with another two shares using the March "Playful" Scrapbook Kit.   This time I have pulled products from the kit to create layouts with a limited colour palette.

For my first layout "I Love Right Now", I have used a black, white and mint scheme, cutting up one of the papers to create my bold banner and one of the overlays to create a transparency bird embellishment.  I added some sequins from my stash.

 Hello there, Chantelle here, sharing my first page with the Playful Scrapbooking Kit - such a fun kit to play with. 
Although the kit looks quite pink, I've actually managed to make a page with a blue and yellow colour theme!  Each kit always caters for lots of different scrapping styles and themes.  And you get to play with the latest products!!
 I used the 12x12 stripe paper as my background!  I really liked the Rise + Shine pattern paper with all the words, they suit my photo well.
Everything here is from the kit - the embossed paper is white cardstock which I've run through my Big Shot with a Kaisercraft embossing folder.
Here are some close-up's:

 I've used a circle punch to create these circle shapes from the pattern paper - I've also added in some of the foil die-cuts by Pink Fresh.
I love to add things over the top of my photo, to make it blend in with the rest of the page.  Here, I've used overlays by Simple Stories.  The sentiment was perfect for the photo!  The little chevrons are by Pink Fresh and you can find them in store ☺
I cut out my title from the pattern paper.

I hope you feel inspired to create wonderful things with your kit.  I will be back soon to share some more ♥

Hello Canaries!  I hope you all had a lovely Easter break.  I got my March Scrapbook Kit yesterday and couldn't wait to rip it open and get busy.  It was a miserable wet day and it was also my birthday, so conditions were perfect for some scrapbooking ;-)

I have again used my favourite 8.5"x11" format but this time I have orientated my layout horizontally.


I typed my journalling and cut it into strips to add to my vertically placed embellishments.



Here is a close-up of those diamond shapes I cut out of my background paper.


The letter stickers I used to create my "First Day" title were from my stash but I could have easily written with a pen instead.

I can't wait to use more of this kit- the colours are so vibrant and fun!
