Month: March 2013

Last peek of April’s kit

Hi! Before I take a little bit of an Easter break, here’s the last look of what is coming in the April kit. Remember to come back on Monday the 1st of April for the full reveal – it’s no joke!

Another sneak of the April kit

This one doesn’t reveal a whole lot… But it might just tease you enough? And have you guessing which manufacturers will appear in the April kit? Here you go!

First sneak of the April kit

Hello all! A new month is almost here, and a new KIT! Exciting! This kit is totally different from the previous kits, can’t wait for you to see it all. Here is the first sneak:

Last share from Michelle

Big thanks to Michelle Whorwood for all the inspiration you have given us with the March Kit “Snippets of Happiness”.

Here is Michelle’s last share with the kit, and this is what she has to say about it:

This is the last layout I have to share with you with the March CMK Kit.

Thank you Annelie for the lovely opportunity to showcase this fabulous kit. I have really loved working with March kit. Mostly, because the colours have been so versatile for both masculine and feminine layouts which is perfect for me because I have both girls and boys to scrap about. I also have loved getting my hands on some papers from a couple of different manufacturers and of course there is lots of cool embellishments to be had in the kit as well.

As this is the last layout with the kit it was all about layering smaller pieces of patterned paper to create a little collage behind my photo. A couple of strips of washi on a textured background. I added the last of the cute wood veneer arrows to the right-hand edge of my photo (there seemed to be a never ending supply of these in the kit) to create balance with the heavy chipboard title on the left. I also slipped in another instax frame on top of a wee wax bag from my stash which holds my journalling. Added twine for more texture to finish.

Thanks again Annelie for having me on board and I hope that I have been able to give you some ideas on how to use up your March kit or perhaps encouraged you to sign up for a Crazy Monday Kit yourself.

Cheers

Michelle

Boy page from Michelle

I love the way Michelle has played with different mists, paints and other medias on this page. Such an awesome boy page!!

Here

I really love the geo-tag trend that is happening at the moment, and used it for my title on this LO, but also cut out the colourful geo-tag from one of the Studio Calico papers. Arrows are also my fav and had to add a few of those, together with some veneers and other little bits! Hope you like!

Be Fabulous

Today we have another stunning LO from Michelle. Look closely for the fun stitching on the page!

Enjoy!

More inspiration from Michelle Whorwood

Aren’t these little polaroid frames so cute!! I had lots of fun using them on this layout. They are a great addition to the kit, they go a long way with 15 in the kit in 4 different colours too. On this layout I have used two of them to include two smaller photos. I decided that even though the colours of the frames were great, I wanted a more neutral base so I reversed one of them so I had a white frame. You could easily do this with all of the frames in the kit. Again, I have used the same patterned paper that I have used on my first layout I shared with you to create fun little titles and to include the date on this layout. Lastly,I just love using shipping tags to include some journalling on my pages. Here I have included some hidden journalling on the shipping tag that is just slotted behind the patterned paper finished with some of the cute twine!

Hopefully I have inspired you to get out your March kit and get creating!

For the LO below I used a sketch from the very talented Kristine Davidson. But not just “any sketch”. It’s a sketch that is part of her new sketchbook, which is released VERY SOON.

I am so excited and honoured to be featured with this LO, using the March kit “Snippets of Happiness”, in this fantastic publication.
