Clique Kits - Meet the New Team Blog Share

Hello and welcome to my blog!  Today is an exciting day because we are having a bog share for the   new 2015/2016 Clique Kits Design Team, and we would love you to hop along and get to know us all!

For those that don't know me, I'm Melissa and I'm from New Zealand, also known as Middle Earth for Lord of the Rings fans!  I'm blessed to live in Queenstown which is an alpine ski resort, and the home of bungy jumping (yes I've done it!).   I've been married to Shaun for 12 years, and we have three beautiful children Samuel (8), Azaria (6) and Brielle (18 months).  

I've been scrapbooking for over 6 years now, and started to make a baby album for Sam.  My style is clean and fresh with extra added detail.  My all time favourite product is patterned paper, I love the look, the feel and the prettiness.  Of course the first cut is always the hardest!!  I also love ephemera, and stickers,  and my favourite techniques are machine stitching, layering, ink splatters and I always journal.

For this blog share we were asked to create a layout about ourselves.  This was a challenge for me because my kids dominate my photos, and it made me realise I need to get in front of the camera more often!  Luckily Shaun had taken this photo of me on his parents 4-wheeler motor bike last snowstorm.


I used the gorgeous October Funfetti for my layout.  It's packed full of Pink Fresh Studio's Happy Things collection and some lovely Crate Paper. I wanted to focus on using the exclusive printables, and started with at beautiful pink ombre printable.  Once I had all my paper layers down I added my photo and embellished.  


I was saving that lovely Pink Fresh Studio Acetate card for this layout, and the bow behind my small title was cut with the die (add on).


"Think less do more" is made from one of the printables with a clear epoxy sticker over the top.


So here is the line up of talented ladies that I'm super blessed to be designing with, make sure you leave some love on their blogs (one lucky person will win a gift certificate to the Clique Kits Store).
