Today we will take a look at our
June kit one last time before moving on to July. I will let Keren and Erin show you the unique way they have used the kit.
I really wanted to bring out the purple tones from the kit for this
layout. I looks as if the paper is peeling off the wall. I really like
that effect and how the photo frame is hanging off the peeled paper. I
used all the purple embellishments in this kit and I colored some other
ones with purple chalkboard ink from Tattered Angels. The Blue Fern
chipboard is one of my favorites!! I just love the effect.

I really wanted to create a project with the Prima wood icons box. First
I primed it with Gesso and then painted it in shimmery green acrylic
paint which matched the Maja papers perfectly. I cut out a picture of
each of my kids and popped it in one of the squares. I also used the
green toned Maja papers to fill the other squares in the grid. I
decorated with flowers, resist canvas figures, mushrooms and used the
Shabby Chic Mirror in the center to add a title.

I love it when papers provide a sheet of cut-outs like Maja Design has
done with this collection. I decided to create a collage that spanned my
layout just so I could use a bunch of these beautiful cut-out elements.
I added in some random stamping, inking, misting, and masking to create
this fun page of my daughter delightfully sipping away at her chocolate
shake.
I've made a promise to myself to get back into the basics of
scrapbooking and start doing more documenting! I used to do monthly
pages for each of my kids, talking about what they are
like at that
time. But I've gotten away from that and so decided to record a little
bit
about my sweet daughter at 20 months.
I decided to use some of
the pretty strips from the bottom of the papers that I normally tend
to
throw away. I've used them at the top of my layout, as well as to make
the banner
that runs vertically behind my photo. When papers such as
these provide such lovely
(yet generally disposed of) details- why not
use them?
