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!

Spash into Summer...

With the "Summer Splash" kit! Loaded with BoBunny papers and stickers, some great papers from Scrap with in reach, a Heidi Swap stamp and more! I love the Jillibean Soup letter stickers...they look sorta like woodgrain! And that Creative Imaginations film strip is amazing!

And this is how our Masters worked it...

A couple more for good measure...

For those of you counting...that is 8 pages I did with this kit!
I'm still going crazy with my teal glimmer mist...but you could use paint too, or any kind of liquid ink really. I also cut up the bling and used it to accent the title which is stamped from a part of the Heidi Swapp corner stamp.

This layout is about missing my grandmother who just passed away this month. I plan on going back and adding some hidden journaling.

Since I broke the needle on my sewing maching on the previous layout, I did some hand stitching and I'm really glad I did. Also used some punches, like the bird punch and the scalloped border punch.

Another creation from the "Family Day Picnic"

This page has been in my head since I got this kit!
I was just now able to sit down and finish it yesterday.
I folded the flower over and stitched it on the sewing machine.

And I painted the bling and cut the circles in half to make it look more like a scallop. It ended up being a cool embelishment. I'm really loving painting on bling!

Normally I bring the potato salad...

But not to this picnic! Here are my pages...
On this page I cut out opening in the center of my patterned paper to form a frame and stitched some regular velumn to the backside for some added dimention and interest. Then I sewed the torn rectangle of patterned paper on top of that. It gave great interest to an otherwise flat layout.

Now for this layout and the next one, I got a little glimmer mist crazy but I love the results! I used the back of the diecut paper as a mask to make the design on the white cardstock.
Same here, I used the back of the diecut "Family" title piece as a mask and sprayed the glimmer mist right over it to make the design on the brown cardstock.
I also only inked the word "memories" on the Heidi Swapp stamp and used it as part of my title. Another way those stamps can go a long way! I even used my bling to the best of it's ability...I cut it up and used it as an eye for my little birdie!
Now these next two pages could be considered a two page layout if I did two page layouts! LOL!
For the title, I didn't have enough of the letters I wanted so I used the letters as a stencil for the word "Baby" and just outlined them then used the actual letters for the word Beach.
And it's hard to tell...but in the little scalloped design I cut out with a border punch, I put the little stones from the bling. I'll have to take a closer up picture for you for my next post. I have some more fun projects planned for this kit so check back later!

Hope you are having fun with your picnic!
