Hello again! I was up earlier this week with a layout for <a href="https://cocoavanilla.com.au">Cocoa Vanilla Studio</a> that I made with the gorgeous new "Legendary" collection. I decided to finally scrapbook my amazing brother in law <a href="https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12275384">Blair</a>, who passed away in October last year after a nearly year long battle with cancer. I haven't been able to scrapbook his journey yet, as its just been too hard, but this amazing collection helped!
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUSrFAeHs-UTVA61A6xQpk-EDeJY0URa2E5y0JLaP1ZBejtBnsQcaSHuwHowRKtVI1342ePHAxFms-lpDZLOcwAtLT1lSHrD0NVJGJgTuKqcHqqZkgDAlY0IXoFY1hN1wKX36CgzuImZC1/s1600/Blair1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUSrFAeHs-UTVA61A6xQpk-EDeJY0URa2E5y0JLaP1ZBejtBnsQcaSHuwHowRKtVI1342ePHAxFms-lpDZLOcwAtLT1lSHrD0NVJGJgTuKqcHqqZkgDAlY0IXoFY1hN1wKX36CgzuImZC1/s640/Blair1.jpg" width="640" height="640" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>
I used a star wreath cut file by Paige Evans which I backed with papers from the collection and some vellum from my stash.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkaVLj0SWd5NZMIDzAt5qLpcBhuC93YgGAySM7noH3rx-hQbxr7vKgQPzZFNzsC4QTaDwQ1xtS-VzDfBy9tynOpo9RDNG01QA9KJQc2TKUbowQpVkeiJ677tJzARSa0m_0hba7zKn4XgBn/s1600/Blair2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkaVLj0SWd5NZMIDzAt5qLpcBhuC93YgGAySM7noH3rx-hQbxr7vKgQPzZFNzsC4QTaDwQ1xtS-VzDfBy9tynOpo9RDNG01QA9KJQc2TKUbowQpVkeiJ677tJzARSa0m_0hba7zKn4XgBn/s640/Blair2.jpg" width="640" height="640" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>
I had fussy cut lots of the stars from the All Star paper, and I placed the smaller stars around the wreath to carry on the "star" theme of my layout. The die cut words were perfect for my title.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYbxfn9Bd8AxgTUW7t9pbBmPxD5OOVkBWKIsiaxJiq_cK3-Q5z2FUP3ps6eZaYYEO7Mt4n0tMWInNfMwUawZDY7XgTZkfsK2OdVB8WaCQ2g7aLzgv3bsoFbXVvwQoKaJHIGfGF6npx59XI/s1600/Blair4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYbxfn9Bd8AxgTUW7t9pbBmPxD5OOVkBWKIsiaxJiq_cK3-Q5z2FUP3ps6eZaYYEO7Mt4n0tMWInNfMwUawZDY7XgTZkfsK2OdVB8WaCQ2g7aLzgv3bsoFbXVvwQoKaJHIGfGF6npx59XI/s640/Blair4.jpg" width="640" height="640" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>
I kept my embellishment very simple, because the wreath and stars did all of the work. I also did some very subtle machine stitching under the wreath to add some texture and interest.

So happy to be back today with another post. This one is a bit sad, as its my last project for <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nz/shop/COAPACutfiles">Confessions of A Paper Addict Cut Files</a>. After a year (2 terms) on this amazing team I've decided to step down.
So for my last layout I wanted to create a tribute to the amazing design team members who have become my friends, and I also wanted to thank the owner Virginia, who is amazing!!
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhetfRyYX3xWuK2NpmraEZKUdgBcsQdGRUrgAsy-jhf3JGaQgWLI42Chzd3Vhv8nHcqSLyxSn6eoQhFHyZRhUDCRm9V8sGvRj73g4VV6lj4BKcybZ188gjf-6654qqbrzh1g9MtRUmzHQss/s1600/C1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhetfRyYX3xWuK2NpmraEZKUdgBcsQdGRUrgAsy-jhf3JGaQgWLI42Chzd3Vhv8nHcqSLyxSn6eoQhFHyZRhUDCRm9V8sGvRj73g4VV6lj4BKcybZ188gjf-6654qqbrzh1g9MtRUmzHQss/s640/C1.jpg" width="640" height="640" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>
I used the "Unforgettable" collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio, which was perfect as I wanted a paper that was artsy that I could cut the "Wonky Hearts" cut file from.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLw9CwhDZ_ayu9vvDyFn6l-44emrcY51JnQSlZnRSs870x0BRy0HyFQEWebQxLkgq48zZz8oz4XhmJhnvFQt9UQTCJjrLwYihBIBWLbvLVqxqKt2rdOYVAnGYX5AsipnJFE3ZMpdSDN_oB/s1600/C3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLw9CwhDZ_ayu9vvDyFn6l-44emrcY51JnQSlZnRSs870x0BRy0HyFQEWebQxLkgq48zZz8oz4XhmJhnvFQt9UQTCJjrLwYihBIBWLbvLVqxqKt2rdOYVAnGYX5AsipnJFE3ZMpdSDN_oB/s640/C3.jpg" width="640" height="640" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>
For this layout I used the negative of the cut file, which is the hearts. I used the positive as a stencil and backed the hearts on foam for dimension.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8qZSX9HygRoXQhauIvoWxmAYNYBWwQoffVF1dQ11uR_lBIehXPfygaYBPwtbuL6S0X5Uun3NMffgV4yaKZbfyJH-R5omm2b4RxiZOwp5h66UrrpqQyFAQcTE3P6cbT8mPCXI7biTACC59/s1600/C4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8qZSX9HygRoXQhauIvoWxmAYNYBWwQoffVF1dQ11uR_lBIehXPfygaYBPwtbuL6S0X5Uun3NMffgV4yaKZbfyJH-R5omm2b4RxiZOwp5h66UrrpqQyFAQcTE3P6cbT8mPCXI7biTACC59/s640/C4.jpg" width="640" height="640" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>
Of course I had to include one of the design team announcement photos, as I'm trying to make an effort to get my stories scrapped too!

I hope you're all keeping well and sane in this new normal. Yesterday we resumed distance learning for our older three kids, which has its challenges - but it is good for them to have some routine, and to see their teachers and friends virtually.
Today I have a layout on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0W-mT33Thho-f2O3WHGCTA">YouTube Channel</a> that I created for <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nz/shop/COAPACutfiles">Confessions of a Paper Addict</a>. I used one of the newly released Easter Cut Files called "Egg Mayhem". Its a background cut file and was so perfect to scrap this photo of myself panic shopping Easter eggs at the Warehouse on day one of the 48 hours before we went into COVID-19 Alert Level 4 Lockdown. I was shopping for three families, and looked like a crazy chocoholic!!!
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimCDl1ZEKeJqVF8VmYWdKyt6sCOvStvTQf4HucFjgYXm38npMJvZhyyXtzvTBE4yFpDd8ISKRqB2x-01F9GUGXq7_uhk-3U13XBAAlMOpyZ5vE6-y2l9t8yhMsxwRScQP3W31RiWxi7jC_/s1600/Mayhem1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimCDl1ZEKeJqVF8VmYWdKyt6sCOvStvTQf4HucFjgYXm38npMJvZhyyXtzvTBE4yFpDd8ISKRqB2x-01F9GUGXq7_uhk-3U13XBAAlMOpyZ5vE6-y2l9t8yhMsxwRScQP3W31RiWxi7jC_/s640/Mayhem1.jpg" width="640" height="640" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>
I used my February <a href="https://www.hipkitclub.net">Hip Kit Club </a>kit, and selected patterned papers with repeating patterns to back the cut file. I also used some American Crafts POW glitter paper in gold from my stash.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj029xe75A_M4BlLGChIDkTtZpN7D22UfmLTKCG9Qkvbwv65Nrlnfl2DiQYJOlTV599zjxgBf0W2Rj7mUX5Et0E8na7HdxTmRMtQHGzJjOCzkcHWOYksu9uVa33HVXd3xgVkbUf61lYcSi/s1600/Mayhem4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj029xe75A_M4BlLGChIDkTtZpN7D22UfmLTKCG9Qkvbwv65Nrlnfl2DiQYJOlTV599zjxgBf0W2Rj7mUX5Et0E8na7HdxTmRMtQHGzJjOCzkcHWOYksu9uVa33HVXd3xgVkbUf61lYcSi/s640/Mayhem4.jpg" width="640" height="640" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>
I used my water colour paints to colour match around each egg, and I love how it turned out!

This cut file didn't need much embellishment as it was busy enough. I used foam thinkers from my stash for my title.

Thanks for being here as I start posting more regularly, I appreciate it!

I hope you managed to have a lovely Easter, despite being isolated because of COVID-19. I'm back again with another layout I made for <a href="https://cocoavanilla.com.au">Cocoa Vanilla Studio</a>. I was so happy to finally create with the new awesome Legendary collection, which arrived last week, just in time for my assignment to make an Easter themed layout. I was so happy to finally get this photo of Sam from our egg hunt last year scrapped.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzOIt46R-4KhyIuaWqMDJACLn9BOwgSr1G-7DO6xkajm6LjZ_iF3BK58p5AR4IfDOjuDPMAhquPmpHPrLs6EOQ0Jp6kfTFV3LTEYEP8HWTW6JsJgSFLmxPOhBd8TAxfL8uAJ6O1BL7lS3j/s1600/Rad1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzOIt46R-4KhyIuaWqMDJACLn9BOwgSr1G-7DO6xkajm6LjZ_iF3BK58p5AR4IfDOjuDPMAhquPmpHPrLs6EOQ0Jp6kfTFV3LTEYEP8HWTW6JsJgSFLmxPOhBd8TAxfL8uAJ6O1BL7lS3j/s640/Rad1.jpg" width="640" height="640" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>
I used a cut file from Confessions of a Paper Addict, appropriately named Easter Egg. I decided to challenge myself to use a boy themed layout with a floral cut file scrapping a nearly teen boy!! I was able to find several papers and some patterns from the cut apart sheets to back my cut file. The small repeating triangles on the background paper were perfect too.

I altered the die cut word "Brothers" to remove the "S" because Sam is our only boy. Don't be afraid to make die cuts and embellishments work for you!

I'm back after what probably seems like forever!! Firstly welcome to my blog to the new followers who have made their way here and stuck around despite my lack of posts, thank you for joining me! If you want to see more of my work, especially what I've made in the years I haven't been here, you can find me on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissa_vining_creates/?hl=en">Instagram</a>.
My biggest scrappy news is that I made it onto the <a href="https://cocoavanilla.com.au">Cocoa Vanilla Studio</a> Design Team for 2020, and I'm thrilled because I adore their product!!
Today is my first creation for Cocoa Vanilla and I am using the gorgeous Happiness collection. I was hoping to create with the newly released Legendary, but due to the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, my supplies and still in transit. I've created a layout with the gorgeous 'Happiness' collection because my Legendary is somewhere in transit, slowed down by the COVID-19 global pandemic. I used the Large Die Cut & Backing Set and decided to be bold (for me) by chain stitching the heart in back embroidery floss.

The photo is of our gorgeous yet cheeky 3 year old daughter Ava. I've been having some fun with the filters on Instagram, and I was so happy that she stayed still for a couple of seconds for me to take this sweet photo.

The chain stitching took me hours to complete but was worth it for the texture it added to my layout. I just worked on it in the evenings while I watched Netflix. I ended up getting into quite the rhythm, and found it very relaxing!

I don't have much of this collection left because I love it so much, so I embellished with some fussy cut butterflies from both the 12x12 paper and the 6x8 paper stack, resulting in two different sizes of butteries. I created an embellishment cluster around my photo with layered and distressed papers, vellum, stickers and die cuts. I added dimension with craft foam and pop dots. My final touch was to add Nuvo Dream Drops in Gold Luxe, and some black mist splatters.

Hello!! Yes I'm back after weeks (months) of burying myself under piles of work. But all work and no play isn't good, so I thought I'd check in and share a layout that I made in May, but only just uploaded to YouTube yesterday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made this one with my Secret Not Secret Kit Club kit, and it features Dear Lizzy's Stargazer collection. What mostly inspired this one was my Instagram squares. I was looking at them and it hit me that I've been gravitating towards my favourite white backgrounds far too often. So I decided to break it up with a bold patterned paper background. The flower cut file is by Paige Evans from the Silhouette Design Store.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVhfERl_uF-b5gyXtI9DUmSufma2Yjs66W9T4R8O1LXpDVspsvjOKPv3TeMnJDQ8WZidiS21Uv__y9PdrhhrPL4KuTWqTkZBceTVSI3c_-7S4Zmhtg8Lunwgy8K48g-iQvelVPSOkIyTiz/s1600/Hey+Girl1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVhfERl_uF-b5gyXtI9DUmSufma2Yjs66W9T4R8O1LXpDVspsvjOKPv3TeMnJDQ8WZidiS21Uv__y9PdrhhrPL4KuTWqTkZBceTVSI3c_-7S4Zmhtg8Lunwgy8K48g-iQvelVPSOkIyTiz/s640/Hey+Girl1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used the entire cut file, and rather than back it with paper I watercoloured the negative pieces and plued them back in. The photos are of Brielle getting her face painted for the first times a couple of years ago.</div>
<br />

I used dimensional adhesive to give the petals some lift!</div>

Gold is so hard to photograph, but the photo above shows the words in the middle of the rosette which the first photo doesn't.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The 6x6 cut apart page was perfect for embellishing. I kept my embellishment to a minimum to let the flower be the star of the layout!</div>

Hello! I nearly forgot to share my final project for my Guest Design spot over at <a href="http://spiegelmomscraps.com/" target="_blank">SpeigelMom Scraps</a>. For this layout I decided I'd better finally create my word for the year which is "Strong". Last year was a tough year, but through all of it I came out a much stronger person, and I wanted to carry that theme into this year.<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
I used my July 2017 Hip Kit (I'm slowly making my way through it) which features Maggie Homes' "Carousel" collection for Crate Paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I did the packaging technique and splatters with my watercolours and some Heidi Swapp Colourshine.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I used the sequins more subtly for this layout, as the finishing touch to my embellishment clusters.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I love banners, but often struggle to use them. This chipboard banner was perfect for the grounding of my title.</div>

Hello hello! Two days in a row!! Today I'm sharing my latest layout that I made with my Willow Kit from <a href="https://the-scrappery-kit-club.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">The Scrappery Kit Club</a>. For this layout I used a free cut file from Paper Issues called "Floral Heart", which you can find <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/free-files/products/floral-heart-free-cut-file" target="_blank">here</a>. This was perfect for scrapping a photo of Azaria on the first day of school this year. I love taking these photos and scrapping them each year so that I (and the kids) can look back and see how much they've grown and changed!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved backing the cut file with the gorgeous papers in the kit. A hint is to use patterns that are smaller, repeating and in only a couple of tones to ensure the cut file isn't overwhelmed by colour and pattern. I also cut my cut file from one of the navy patterned papers in the kit, it has a subtle spot on it.</div>

Hello! I'm so excited to share that for the month of March 2018 I'm the Guest Designer over at the <a href="http://spiegelmomscraps.com/" target="_blank">SpeigelMom Scraps Blog</a>!! Jody makes the most gorgeous sequin mixes, and its been an absolute joy thinking of fun and innovative ways to incorporate them into my scrapbooking. I've shared three creations on her blog already for the month, and I thought it was about time I shared them all here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For my first layout, I used a free cut file from Paper Issues called the "I Love More Circle" cut file, which you can find <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/free-files/products/i-love-you-more-circle-free-cut-file" target="_blank">here.</a> I used the "<a href="https://spiegelmom-scraps.myshopify.com/collections/sequins-1/products/colorful-you" target="_blank">Hello Colourful You</a>" and "<a href="https://spiegelmom-scraps.myshopify.com/collections/sequins-1/products/wild-free" target="_blank">Wild & Free</a>" sequin mixes to back the stars in the cut file. I scrapped a sweet photo of Ava this past summer at our local Lake. I used my Secret Not Secret Kit Club kit, which features Dear Lizzy's "Stargazer" collection.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For my second layout, I used a cut file designed by Paige Evans that I purchased from the Silhouette Design Store called "Polaroid Frame Border". I cut it four times, and then layered two on top of each other to create a thicker row of frames. I used my Secret Not Secret Kit Club kit again, and was excited to scrap a series of 6 photos of Sam, Ava and our cat Charlie.</div>

My third project was just shared today, and for this one I was super keen to use one of the free cut files from SpeigelMom Scraps, which you can find <a href="http://spiegelmomscraps.com/free-cut-files/" target="_blank">here</a>. I love using stars on baby layouts, and I used lots of the "Hello Colourful You" sequins to add some whimsy! The collection I used is Crate Paper's "Cute Girl" which I adore, and was perfect for scrapping this sweet photo of Ava.</div>

Hello again! I'm back again today to share the layouts that I've made as part of the Design Team for <a href="http://www.tanyaleighdesignz.co.nz/" target="_blank">Tanya Leigh Designz</a>. Tanya is a New Zealand paper crafter who designs digital kits, and also sells embellishments. She approached me late last year and asked me to be on her design team. As a huge supporter of supporting local I was very keen to accept.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each month Tanya designs a digital kit full of papers, embellishments like labels and tiny words, 4x6 cards and digital stamps. I love converting her digital stamps into cut files in my Silhouette Cameo design studio.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first layout was made with January's Summer-themed kit, and for this one I converted the umbrella digital stamp into a cut file, backed it with my favourite papers from the kit, and hand stitched around the outside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

February's kit was Valentine themed called "I Heart", and I used it to scrap a photo of Brielle ice-skating for the first time. I loved the black and white stripped paper with pink hearts, and in order to make it work (because I can only print at A4) I made an 8.5x11 page. For this one I altered her digital tag and turned it into a cut file.</div>

March's kit is Easter-themed and is called "Some Bunny Loves You". Its so super cute, and I had to turn the bunny ears into a cut file. I fussy cut the tulips from one of the papers, and did lots of splatters on my background with watercolours, Heidi Swapp Colourshine and Studio Calico's Mr Hueys. </div>

Hello again! Told you I'd be back :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I want to share with you the projects I made with the Violet Kit from <a href="https://the-scrappery-kit-club.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">The Scrappery Kit Club</a>. This gorgeous kit featured the Bohemian Dreams collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio, and of course had beautiful Scrappery exclusives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This first layout features a cut file from Paper Issues. In this layout I documented a scan that Ava had to have at 10 weeks old.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This layout is a mixed media layout, and I used the paint in the colour kit to add colour to my texture paste.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3B8pf5TTOcptV6oeop2VxgH1fYZVxDrM10lfg3TW7sjR_REoaVJBUYMuVgi4EINSlS4yersXJNiTTP21Hb3MkdmaaFDuXmIdFlIH5XipyPkM3D6m36H0IY2W2ECKDJInNO9YXfCxgOolx/s1600/Happy+C1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3B8pf5TTOcptV6oeop2VxgH1fYZVxDrM10lfg3TW7sjR_REoaVJBUYMuVgi4EINSlS4yersXJNiTTP21Hb3MkdmaaFDuXmIdFlIH5XipyPkM3D6m36H0IY2W2ECKDJInNO9YXfCxgOolx/s640/Happy+C1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For this layout I wanted to use as many flowers as possible with a stiched frame. I added dimension to the frame with foam.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMgCnJS2rEbdvSgenwdcpaQQJs-wrnoaAXhCvIgGHQiSOF3vqX79TsuZDcqqzrpLUzKUZgTge1Z1qR883kKaKESQ6d6TzYdh5e_KftOs0D-2MfB8lop1kBTtPV4L9qU9W7BsuF5Eb28yWK/s1600/Sweetness1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMgCnJS2rEbdvSgenwdcpaQQJs-wrnoaAXhCvIgGHQiSOF3vqX79TsuZDcqqzrpLUzKUZgTge1Z1qR883kKaKESQ6d6TzYdh5e_KftOs0D-2MfB8lop1kBTtPV4L9qU9W7BsuF5Eb28yWK/s640/Sweetness1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And this final layout features lots of fussy cut butterflies from one of the papers. I wanted to them to be flying in a swarm over my photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
You can see process videos for all of these layouts on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0W-mT33Thho-f2O3WHGCTA/videos?view_as=subscriber" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a>.</div>

Hello Hello!! Yes I'm actually here sharing something!!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now that it's a New Year, and my 4th and final baby is 1 year old I thought it was time I paid my poor neglected blog some attention. It seems that Instagram and YouTube have taken over the social media world, and with things in my world being so busy juggling kids and my business, my blog really didn't get much attention last year. In retrospect, I did try, but all my promises to be back were never kept. In all honesty, last year was incredibly difficult, 4 children is a lot, and I went through some very difficult circumstances. I'm so happy to be back now, and I feel stronger than ever for having gone through what I endured.</div>

I recently killed my July 2017 (yes I'm that far behind) Hip Kit, and so here are the layouts that I made:</div>

Hello!! Yes I know, I've been missing again, but things have been active on my YouTube Channel and my Instagram! I've decided that instead of trying to catch up with posting layouts ever since Ava was born, I need to face the facts that I can't (she's now 10 months old), and instead I'm going to post current layouts on here. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier this month I was honoured to be asked by Christy from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4zHSberz5_f79YhdVIIUWQ" target="_blank">Christy's Beautiful Life</a> to be a guest during her 30 days of sketches during September. Firstly I want to say that I think Christy is amazing to even contemplate making a process video a day for a whole month with a pre-schooler and a baby!! She is amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christy gave me a Page Maps sketch that was Christmas themed. It was perfect as we'd chatted about needing to catch up with our past Christmas photos. I decided to use my November Hip Kit from last year, which I'd barely used due to Ava being born. I created the Christmas Tree with doilies.</div>

I've been saving sketches from <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Stuck Sketches</a> for months now, but haven't had much time to play along. I finally decided to commit to the 1 August sketch, because I love all of Laura's sketches, and I needed to make a dent in my April Hip Kit. I decided to scrap photos from Azaria's 8th birthday. I loved the sketch and stayed very true to it. I did decide to scrap a smaller photo!<br />

Hello! I just realised that I forgot to post my layout for The Scrappery here last week! For this layout I was inspired by the butterfly paper in my Belle kit, and wanted to fussy cut them and create a swarm. I googled "swarm of butterflies" and found an image to assist my inspiration. I choose to scrap these two photos of Ava playing with her foot on the bouncer, and I love the one of her looking up, as if looking at the butterflies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hello! Today I'm sharing my layout that I made for <a href="https://the-scrappery-kit-club.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">The Scrappery </a>this week. I used my Belle kits (featuring Cocoa Vanilla Studio's "Wild at Heart" collection). I decided to scrap an older photo of Shaun, Azaria and a newborn Brielle. I've had this photo printed for years, but I've always struggled to scrap it due to the light and tones in it. This collection was perfect. This week I focused on using up the 4x6 cards from the PLK kit, and they are actually cut from the 12x12 papers by Ronelle.</div>

Today I'm doing a throw back to last year, because I've realised that I've never shared any of the layouts I made for myself since I started back as a subscriber to the Hip Kit Club. After I finished my Design Team term with Clique Kits, I decided to subscribe again to Hip Kits, and aside from the layouts that I made for The Cut Shoppe with the kits, I've never shared these here on my blog. I do have layout share videos on my YouTube channel, but the end of Ava's pregnancy was very busy, as was after I had her, so without further ado, I'm starting with September 2016. At the end of this post will be my layout share video.<br />
<br />
This layout used an exclusive cut file by Ashley Horton, and works so perfectly with the pink in my photos.<br />

Hello again! Today I'm back to share with you the Traveller's Notebook page that I made for <a href="https://the-scrappery-kit-club.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">The Scrappery</a>. I've decided to change the way that I'm scrapping in this notebook. I'd been viewing it as a mini album with each page being a new layout, but what I really want to do is treat each set of two pages as a double page spread. I'd created the left-hand side page at the beginning of my Belle Kits, and when I found a third photo I decided to complete the spread. This kit features the entire "Wild at Heart" collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio.</div>

It's unusual for me not to have any journalling, but I'd told the story on the left-hand page. So for the right page I had fun with embellishing.</div>

It's with sadness today that I share with my last post for <a href="http://thecutshoppe.blogspot.co.nz/2017/06/weekend-fun.html" target="_blank">The Cut Shoppe</a>. If you're not aware, Ashley decided to finish The Cut Shoppe at the end of the current Design Team term being June. The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nz/shop/TheCutShoppe" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> will continue to stay open, and there is an amazing selection of cut files to choose from.<br />
<br />
For my final layout I choose to work with the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/521598533/the-follow-your-heart-background-cut?ref=shop_home_feat_4" target="_blank">Follow Your Heart Background</a> cut file. It reminded me of super heroes, and especially when Sam used to dress up in costume!! These older photos of him as Superman were perfect!! I used my April Hip Kit, and decided to go bold with my background paper!<br />

Hello! Today I'm back with a layout I made with my Belle Kit a couple of weeks ago for The Scrappery YouTube Channel. This kit features the entire Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Wild at Heart" collection (if you get all three kits). I decided to use the patterned paper with painterly features on it as my background, and lots of frames. Frames are an embellishment that I want to use but struggle with. I used some older photos of Brielle and her lovely friend Dexter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Today I'm back with a layout I shared on <a href="http://thecutshoppe.blogspot.co.nz/2017/06/oh-boy.html" target="_blank">The Cut Shoppe Blog</a> earlier this month. Its a really old photo of Sam as a baby, and I've had it printed for many years, but haven't scrapped it until now. I used Cocoa Vanilla Studio's "Oh Happy Day" collection, and the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/518623607/the-social-butterfly-background-cut-file?ref=shop_home_feat_2" target="_blank">Social Butterfly Background Cut file</a>. Its a really old photo, and not the best quality, but I love what I created!<br />

Good morning! I'm back today to share a layout I made a couple of weeks ago for <a href="https://the-scrappery-kit-club.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">The Scrappery</a> Kit Club.

Hello again! Today I'm back to share with you a project I made with my Belle kit from <a href="https://the-scrappery-kit-club.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">The Scrappery Kit Club</a>. This kit features the Wild at Heart collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio, and if you purchase all of the kits you get the entire collection!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My friend's daughter turned 5 in March, and we had a party for her with cupcakes at our local park. I took some photos and decided this kit was perfect for a mini album to record her birthday. I made my own cupcake cut file to make the album, and in my first video you can see this process and the making of my cover.</div>

I decided to go for a big title, and I used the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/527340457/the-all-caps-alpha-can-be-used-for-your?ga_search_query=alpha&ref=shop_items_search_9" target="_blank">All Caps Alpha</a> backed with patterned paper from Paige Evans' "Oh My Heart" collection, the paper with all the squares. <br />

Hi Friends, I know, its been a while again. I'm not going to lie, life with 4 kids and a business is hard, and sometimes creating has to take a back seat for a while. In an attempt to get my blog back to being up to date, I need to post several times with lots of layouts, starting with my projects for <a href="https://the-scrappery-kit-club.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">The Scrappery Kit Club</a> that I made with the Jade Kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Jade kit was a mix of products from Kaisercraft, Cocoa Vanilla Studio and Simple Stories. My first project was a layout with a background of acrylic paint by Brielle. I used a free cut file from Paper Issues. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A second layout featured a cut file by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nz/shop/TheCutShoppe" target="_blank">The Cut Shoppe</a> and a older photo of Shaun and Brielle that I've struggled to scrap for years!</div>

The kit came with a speciality die cut paper, and I layered it over a Simple Stories colour blocked paper for a quick and easy page.<br />
