DT Clique Kits - City life

Today I'm up with my first layout for the Clique Kits Design Team. Be sure to check out the Clique Kits blog as well today to see what my fellow team members created!

The October Masquerade Ball kit is filled with Basic Grey Second City. I love this collection, even though all the purple in it is a huge challenge for me! For the background I used two cut files from The Cut Shoppe that were created for the September kit, they were a perfect addition for this layout.

The picture I used is a typical Dutch city view with the canals and bicycles, a view that makes me feel at home!

Clique Kits - Chalkboard Clipboard

Hi everyone, I'm up today with a quick and easy project. In September's kit from Clique Kits there was a bottle of chalkboard paint and I just had to play with it.

I took a plain old clipboard and started painting it in a bright pink color. When that first layer was dry, I placed the word 'memo' with the Hazel & Ruby Brooklyn alpha masks in place and started painting the clipboard with the chalkboard paint. For the best result it needs a second layer of paint an hour after the first one. After the second layer I took the masks off and gave it a 24 hour dry. I finished the clipboard with a strip of washi tape and some silver stars.

Clique Kits - Pep Rally September Study Abroad

Welcome to the Clique Kits September Blog Share! You should have arrived here from Rosann, if not you can start your blog tour overhere at the Clique Kits blog.

This month's blog share, featuring the Study Abroad kit, is all about Be Daring. I took that challenge to scrapbooking and my huge dare is making cards. It's just something I would love to do more often, but I end up never being happy with the result, especially when I see the work of some very talented card makers. 

For this card I started out with one of the 3x4 Flash Cards that Ashley from The Cut Shoppe designed for this kit. This card was going to be a birthday card for my niece who turned 5 years old two days ago, so I wanted to highlight the number 5 with gold embossing powder. I backed the flash card with the Crate Paper vellum and covered the edges with the Pinkfresh Studio glitter washi tape. The pink strips of paper are from the Dear Lizzy paper and the black alpha is from Sodalicious that can be found in the Clique Kits School Store. I placed the whole cluster on a piece of the Dear Lizzy paper and tucked in one of the Maya Road shipping tags.

DT The Cut Shoppe - Arcade Fun

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a layout made for The Cut Shoppe and because we're teaming up with Clique Kits I decided to use the September Study Abroad kit for my layout.

I started the design of my layout with the Right on Target cut file for my background and randomly placed the three pictures over it. The three pictures became clusters with the Crate Paper vellum and paper. Also I added an enamel frame from Pinkfresh Studio, backed with the Pinkfresh Studio glitter washi tape, tucked in each cluster. I filled up the open spaces of the target with the sequins and stars that came with this kit. The 'Go', 'Here' and 'Love' cut files are from the Going Geo and Notebook Doodles cut files.
