July Clique Kits Blog Hop

This month's theme for Clique Kit is Captured on Film. They wanted us to use filmstrips, viewfinders or Polaroids.Well I didn't use any of those. I know rebel, instead I used my embellishments in rows like a filmstrip and the photos are a memory that I don't want to forget; we surprised the kids to a trip to Knott's Berry Farm for their birthdays.










My First layout this month is of my daughter. I was able to get a nice close-up of my daughter and wanted to "girl-up" the layout, mostly because she's not into pink and flowers anymore, but she was then. I used the buttons from the kit on the side to mimic a filmstrip.   

In this layout I wanted to show the kids and of course Snoopy. The embellishments are again in rows like a filmstrip framing my pictures.  

As I was looking through my pictures I realized they all had a theme. My kids had their hands up for every ride, how could I not put that in a layout. So for this layout each picture the kids have their hands up high. I kept the layout simple. I added the wood "gears" to symbolize the gears of a ride, and of course I had to add 2 tickets for these crazy riders.   My last layout is the kids at the end of the day. The kids and I love water and what's better than taking a fountain photo, Oh I know taking a fountain photo while in the fountain. I couldn't believe how perfectly the paper and the water and the stripes from the awning matched.

 Since the theme this month is Captured on Film I thought I'd make an cover for my iphone after all it is the camera I have on me at all times.

Well I couldn't go to bed without doing my last pictures of Knott's Berry Farm. Here are the kids at the Liberty Bell.  I turned the paper City Scape upside down; I love the paper but didn't want  the city to show. It was an easy fix to my problem.

I hope you all enjoyed my layouts and little craft. Make sure to check out the other ladies in the blog hop, comment on all the blogs for your chance of a great prize from Clique Kit.

Show & Tell Your Favorite Thing(s)

 

 Have you tried scrapbooking with one of those "Scrapbooking Kits" ,you know the ones that get mailed to you with paper and embellishments from different companies, all rolled into one kit?  This is my first month to ever play/work with such a kit. I made my own before and used that but this is the first time I ever ordered one. 
   The kit I picked to use is from Clique Kits. Each month they have a different kit all ready for you. For June the theme is Show & Tell Your Favorite Thing(s). When I first saw the kit I was a little scared, I don't normally use black & white and bold bright colors but that's why I got the kit in the first place right, to try something new and expand my creativity. Luckily I already had in mind what I was going to scrapbook. I scrap in order as much as possible or else I get too unorganized and right now I'm doing our Disney Cruise from 2005. Yeah I'm a little behind. 

   My first layout is Donald Duck and my kids. My kids love Donald, mostly my daughter. I had so much fun making this page. Adding the black and white to the bold colors was a little uneasy at first but I love how it turned out.  Can you find the hidden Mickey??

June Clique Kit

I've been wanting to try using a scrapbooking kit to help me jump start my scrapbooking. I had made my own kit back in September but realized my stash of embellishments was/is very sad. I did finish the kit and still need to do a kill a kit video and show you the layouts I made. Hopefully I can do that this week. Until then I joined Clique Kit. Here is my Unboxing video of the June kit. Enjoy.
