Clever Clonkers is a name Leila uses quite a lot. We have no idea where it came from, but its quite cute, and has stuck around for months now. So when we saw that she had set herself up for family movie night just like this, we thought she was definitely a 'Clever Clonkers' lol

Family movie night for us lately, usually starts off with the 3 of us snuggled in bed watching something together, then Leila getting bored if its not something disney related, us switching to some form of Marvel comic Movie or tv show and leila watching age appropriate videos on youtube before being tucked into bed.. This night she skipped the snuggles in bed and made a nest for herself out of all the cushions from around the house. Genius plan!

Random scraps from papers, fanned out and tucked under the layered photo stack

Originally I had handwritten the journalling on the Today card from the die cut pack, but I made a booboo so I re-typed the journalling using my super old / dried up typewriter and covered up my mistake. I've layered this with another tag from the die cut pack and some ripped washi tape

Random splatters of Color shine around the page, a few enamel hearts and some crazy stamping finish off the page.

Thanks for stopping by today.. 

Be sure to keep an eye out for some fresh new layouts, once I get my hands on the new kits!!

Cant wait!

Yeah.... lol It certainly took on a life of its own! I guess this is what happens when you have a fuzzy head (head cold in warm weather??) and should be resting, but have ideas flowing.. but then they don't work so well... or did they? You be the judge

The green strips were from one of the acetate cards from the Project Life kit. I cut the most relevant sentiments out that describe life with Leila at almost 5 years old.. Gosh where do the days go?

Many, many layers of paper and mixed media.. all crying out for attention! Ive used some whipped spackle, Shimelle mask, Prima watercolour pencils, Pink Kaiser Mist and gold Heidi Shine

A little fussy cutting happened.. those who know me well, know fussy cutting and I are not friends, however that floral pattern was just singing out to be chopped up!

Slightly random cluster made up of more fussy cutting, a paper clip, acetate camera, puffy sticker and washi tape heart

And part of the gem stone die cut, some more washi tape and paper strips to the bottom

Thanks for checking out todays page, I hope its inspired you to share your work whether you fell its up to sharing standard or not. Its all a learning curve. And remember, all stories should be documented!

I knew I wanted to work with some form of grid style for these photos, so the 'Quest' paper was the first paper I went for. I chose 3 squares that suited the theme of the photos, then layered them up with other co-ordinating coloured squares from the same paper. I felt that the page was showing too much white, so I've added in the strip of 'Keen' striped paper, then some torn strips of washi tape and some pink scrap paper.

These two are hilarious!! They have so much fun together, and really make us laugh

How can I say no to a doily! And how adorable is that photo!

Another fun photo! So glad I have these moments captured!

Ive added in a tag from the ephemera pack, so that it wasn't all straight lines around the page

and lastly, I've repeated the washi and paper strip to the right had side and added in some repetitive stamping (easiest way to clean off a roller stamp lol), puffy stickers and an enamel dot 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you're having an enjoyable week

You can see the super cute Zebra has made its way onto this page, purely for its cuteness! It has nothing to do with the photo of Leila dancing, as she does best. My Nan gave her the name Twinkle Toes as she is always 'twinkling' and never really standing still

I've used a mixture of rub ons all over the page, the main cluster of flowers and leaves have been rubbed onto white cardstock before being fussy cut and popped up with some foam tape

Quick tip for any of the acetate pieces.. they have a film coating on one side that needs to be peeled off, ensure you peel it off for a crystal clear look. 

A few different layers of cut and ripped pattern papers sit under the photo, kept together with the gold heart paper clip and another acetate piece

Lastly a close up of the torn strips of the gold spot washi tape by Dear Lizzy and the Amy Tangerine pattern paper that has been tucked under the striped paper (top and bottom)

I hope this has inspired you in some way to use up random things that don't necessarily have anything to do with the story you are telling :)

Thanks for stopping by today 

I hope to have more to share soon mixing up both kits

The fruit themed paper and die cuts worked perfectly for this photo of Leila showing off her new watermelon dress before we headed off the other day. She's such a poser some days!

I made clusters of ink splatters around the page before adhering everything down. I stamped some fun  phrases with the Amy Tangerine roller stamp that was released with this collection

I've also splattered over the word Sunday on the Dear Lizzy paper, as the photo was taken on a Sunday

I wasn't sure how I could use these fruit pieces when I first saw them, but layering them in a cluster with some extra shapes and an enamel dot looks good

Along the bottom I've added some torn washi strips and another strip of pattern paper

Thats all from me today, be sure to check back in again soon for another scrappy share

I absolutely LOVE ephemera packs! Such a great mix of cards and shapes that are easily layered up
