Now that your new kits are in...

I thought I would pop in with a few more pages from last month...just in case you are still just admiring it! LOL
I still have TONS of this kit left! Now if I have time to create more with it is a whole different topic! But I'm sure gonna try!

So how did I use it?

I've barely made dent in my kit and so for and I have a set of cards & 3 layouts!I wanted to make the cards with sort of a patchwork quilt look to them so I cut out squares of the papers and and sewed them to the cards in a quilt like pattern.

More sewing, border punching and misting on these layouts! And I have more to come!

My designs are coming soon!

Look through the KALEIDOSCOPE!

"Kaleidoscope" is the new Masters Kit! And what a Kaleidoscope of color and inspiration it is!

Do you see that Fleur de Lis stamp by Teresa Collins?! What about those fabulous brads from KaiserCraft! If this kit doesn't get your creative juices going, I don't know what will! I'm itching to work with mine!

Up next, how the Masters used this beautiful kit.

A few more to add...

I know, I know...y'all thought I was done. But this kit just kept going and going!
For the page above, I used the bottom strips of all the papers and sewed them on the page to form a unique element. I also left the edges long at the top to add interest as they stick up above the page.

For this one, I used a lot of punches here including a border punch (my new addiction). Speaking of addiction, notice the mist...I used a chipboard piece from my stash as a mask to mist over.

And this one I used an old alpha sticker backing as a mask for misting and bits and pieces of papers I had left and didn't want to waste a tiny bit!

Up next...the latest and the greatest!!! Stay tuned!

The flip side...

Yes I finally finished working with the other half of the kit! And here are my creations...

As you can see, I have a serious problem with my sewing machine and misting addiction. I.just.can.not.stop!

So get creative...get messy...just scrap!

The Circus has come to MY town

And I made some pretty cool layouts with it...
Still using that Maya mist on most of my pages. For the "Lil Cowboy page I layed one of the sheer journaling cards down (one with the scalloped edge) and misted over it to create a little window area for another picture.

For the "Paved"layout I put the thickers down and misted over them and then removed them to create the title.

The "Paradise" layout below goes with the "Paved" layout....

I need to add my journaling but it's going to be sort of personal since this layout is about the demoliation of my great grandmother's old house. Hince the title "Paved Paradise". I need some time to think about the words I want to capture on these pages.

Then I did a fun layout when I did the "slide" page.

And finally a cheerful little card...

And I've only worked with HALF of the kit so far! Can't wait to work on the other half!

The (ring) Masters!

The (ring)Masters have taken center stage! Such amazing work by the Masters! I just love layout Steph did with that sweet baby! All of them were just son wonderful really. Take a look for yourself...

As for me...well I'm working on mine. My creativity has been BOOMING this week. Which sounds great but I'm a multi craft hobby girl so when my creativity kicks into over drive I have TONS going on in my head. So I'll settle down and wrap up my pages and post them later this week hopefully!

Join us...Under the Big Top

That's what the new Masters kit is called...Under the Big Top.
Those bright, fun colors of the Scenic Route papers combined with the black/white/red combo of the distressed, vintage looking Rusty Pickle papers made me think CIRCUS!

And lets not forget about the slick looking black thickers and those wonderful sheer journaling cards! Such a diverse kit and great for the end of summer!

Stay tuned for pictures of how the Masters worked this beautiful kit!

And last but not least...

For the page above, i cut up the sticker sheet that the letter stickers came with and used it as a stencil for the letters and sprayed my Maya mist over it. This was killer fun and you should TOTALLY try it.

And the layout below is just stitchy and delicious. And I used a bit of that vellum from my stash!

Quickie Page with The Summer Splash kit!

More misting and sewing...

This one was so quick and simple but it turned out so graphic. I just started with a white piece of cardstock from my stash and sprayed some charcoal Maya Mist for a rocker grunge look. The rest of the items on the page are all from the kit. Totally fun page to make!

And this is how I did it..

How cute was this kit I ask you?
I was inspired to alter this go round for some reason. Not like altered projects but altered supplies. I painted, I inked, I misted, I masked, I sewed...I basically went nuts. And here are the results.

For the cards above I stamped on some vellum (I know you have some laying around from back when it was "in"), stitched it on the blue patterned paper, punched out some scallops from from the stripe paper and cut some flowers out of another patterned paper and presto! A precious gift! Super quick and easy.

For the "Yummo" layout took two of the big bracket stickers and placed them where I wanted my title to be. Then I sprayed some brown Maya mist over the page and lifted the stickers. This was a great masking technique that I highly recommend! Plus now I have some cool "aged" looking brackets to use on another layout. I also wanted bold yellow letters for this layout. Since the letters in the kit were blue, I took out a yellow paint marker and just painted them...then Stitched them on the layout.

It's amazing what you can do if you go a little technique crazy!

Next is a layout that is currently featured on Scrapjacked.

For this one I used the background of the letter stickers as a mask. I pealed the background off of the sheet and used the entire sticky background part (leaving the letters themselves stuck to the backing of the slick package. Then I stuck the background onto my page and sprayed Maya mist over it and pealed it off. I LOVE this technique...you will see this over and over on my layouts I'm sure! You MUST try it. It's so easy and the results are so graphic and bold!

More sewing love here...

Bottom line...lets see you go a little technique crazy!
