Wahoo back with week 2! Is is sad that I feel really excited after 3 weeks to have 2 of them done. This spread is using cards from past Scraptastic This Life Noted Kits. This week was a crazy expensive week, my son got completely spoilt, he got his hockey gear, and then we purchased a PS4 (which I had been saving for sense they got released and they had one at Walmart with the Lego Batman game so I picked it up)
You can see in that picture I added a vertical photo, the issue I ran into was when I went to put my layout into its page protector, of course I planned it on the side where the opening was on the spread from the prior week. Easy fix I took my craft knife and ruler and cut a slit at the top of that pocket on the back side that is only as wide as the photo, slid the card in the other side then slid my photo in the slit I had made on the front and re-attached it.
The other half of the spread of course follows the same colour pallet as the prior page, and was also kept simple, a little journaling wood veneers, and an acetate word from Heidi Swapp. The tag I used on the photo of my son sleeping is cut from Tim Holtz’s tiny tabs and tags die.
If there is anything on this spread in-particular you would like to know where it came from, leave a comment and I will be sure to get back to you.

Hey everyone! I was simply thrilled to get my hands on the December and January Hip Kits (I live in Canada so Kim ships to me every other month saves me a little money).
I thought these pages were so simple and soft and I have been wanting to scrapbook this photo from my sisters wedding and it all just worked together so well.
These die cuts we got in the Heidi Swapp package made a perfect title, I was a little worried at the start as they were slightly bend and twisted from in the package but once I sprayed them down they worked wonderful!
The background paper is Canson watercolour paper, I used Golden Titanium white acrylic paint to give me more of a contrast between the paper and the paint the white and off white look lovely together, especially after I added the Heidi Swapp colour shine to it.
The patterned paper that is backing the layout I think is from the December hip kit, but I can no remember for sure. If you need to know leave a comment and I will find out for you.

Hey everyone! I am here again with another layout to share with you all. I finally received my December Kit from Scraptastic on the 7th of January (Christmas slows all the mail down). I loved all the papers included in this kit!
My son and my niece are truly lucky to be as close in age as they are (3 weeks apart). I just felt this photo was perfect to show that. Just a simple lunch out with me and them playing at the table.
The background of this layout is Canson Watercolor paper. and I used Lindy’s stamp gang sprays to add colour (colours will be listed at the bottom of the post.
Products used
Scraptastic December Heartbeats Kit (the kit is sold out I can not find it on the site so I just linked to their site, if you really want to know what papers I used leave a comment and I will get the info for you.)

Wahoo, I am on a roll two blog posts and its only the 4th of January, and I have a few more that are ready to go, maybe I will keep up posting this year (fingers crossed).
This is a photo from my instagram from Christmas morning, one happy little guy with his new video game.
So I started this layout by adding gesso and Izink’s to the backround then splattering some gold mist.
Layering up some of my scraps from the December Hip Kit and adding some tissue paper from my stash finishing the base for the photo to lay on,
Embellishing with different bits and pieces from the kit brought this layout together rather fast, and the Elle’s studio grey letter stickers were perfect because there are so many of every letter I had no issue making the words I needed.
If you are looking for a kit to try, I highly recommend the Hip Kits, Kim seems to find the perfect balance between paper, and TONS of embellishments to meet any need you may run into on your layout.
Products used:
Hip Kit – November Main Kit (sold out)
Hip Kit – November Color Add-on
Heidi Swapp Gold Lame Color Shine
Freckled Fawn Metal Hearts (Oh Deer Me kit) I can’t find them in their shop any longer

Hey everyone! Welcome to 2015, I hope this year treats you all well in whatever goals, aspirations, and just life in general. This is my first layout I have made this year. I did it yesterday before I began what I am calling the “great clean up of 2015”, but that’s another post for another day (if I ever complete the clean up).
This is my son in the summer time, I have a low spot in the front of my driveway, and I honestly believe, he secretly hopes for rain so he can go out and play in the puddle.
I really had fun with this layout and kept it very simple… I went into it with a goal. Aside from the 12×12 background paper, I only wanted to use scraps. Best part, I succeeded! I also got to use a bunch of my die cuts and stickers which was also exciting to me.

Heidi Swapp – September Skies – Open air
Basic Grey – Fresh cut – Orchid Alley
Teresa Collins – Something Wonderful – Alpha paper
Gossamer Blue – On My Desk – List Maker
Carta Bella – Baby Mine – (the blue with white polka dot paper)

Hey everyone! I have recently signed up for the Hip Kit Club monthly kits, Being as though I live in Canada, I have opted for shipping two kits together to save a few dollars, which means that I have just received the October and November kits from them (I actually got them a couple of weeks ago but have just started playing with them
I really do love these kits so far, there is a process video at the end of this blog post.
Is it sad, that at the time of writing this blog post, I am only 3 layouts into these 2 kits and I can not wait to get my hand on the December and January kits.
Hey everyone! Did you see Jani’s card yesterday (and the file that was in it) if you didn’t you should really go check it out!
So I am continuing with my breaking of the using digital files thing for the month, I am so in love with this stamp set that I am still using it! So again this is using the Snow Day stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn. So I stamped 2 of the cute bunnies and coloured them with copics (W00, W01, W03, W05, W07, R20, R22), and the little bird (R22, R24, R27, R29). I then stamped the trees using Soft Leaf ink from Hero Arts, and Olive ink from Creative Memories, and the bow is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.
The background for my little scene is on Canson watercolour paper, painted with Peerless Watercolors. I then splattered it with Heidi Swapp Gold Lame ink and put it on a patterned paper stash from my Simon Says Stamp card kit patterned paper stash (in otherwords I can not remember who this paper came from lol), put it on a grey card base and called it finished,
