Ruby Rock-It: Daddy-Daughter Layout

Hi everyone, I'm up on the Ruby Rock-It blog with a layout today. I combined bits and pieces of the fun Carnival King collection with the pretty Cook collection for this.


My daughter was so excited to visit the m&m factory here in Las Vegas. She was in awe (as were the rest of us) about the huge assortment of candy in every imaginable color.


I tucked bits and pieces under and on top of the photo using foam squares here and there for dimension.


Tip: When adhering your photos, apply the adhesive only in the center, leaving the outer edges of the photos' backsides adhesive-free. This allows room for tucking in your bits and pieces.


I used Clearsnap's Smooch Glitz to add sparkle to the diecut flower and the "candy" ticket for some lovely sparkle and interest.


Supplies:

...As I wrap up this post, my position as a design team member for Ruby Rock-It comes to an end. I would like to express my most sincere appreciation to Ruby Rock-It, to my teammates, and especially to design team coordinator Erin Yamabe. This has been such a positive, friendly, and supportive team to participate on, all due to the outstanding example that Erin leads. Thank you for having faith in me and for this wonderful experience!
All the very best always, Kris

My Creative Scrapbook June Creative Kit: Echo Park

The June Creative kit at My Creative Scrapbook is adorable, happy, and full of summer goodness! Featuring the A Perfect Summer collection from Echo Park, the kit is suited for lots of fun projects.

Here is one of the layouts that I created with the kit:


The flowers in the kit were originally a bright yellow color- very pretty but not the colors that I wanted them to be for this layout. So I used gesso, acrylic paint, and mist to change the colors to pinks and white.


I used the same acrylic paint to color the raw chipboard "Summer" piece pink.


Here's a photo of the Creative kit:


I need to tell you, I have the upcoming July Creative kit spread out all over my craft table, and it's really lovely! I can't wait for you to see it.

You can view all of the information about subscribing to the kits on the My Creative Scrapbook website, here.

I will be back next week with more :)

More Crate Paper DIY Shop: My Creative Scrapbook June Limited Edition Kit

Hello and thanks so much for visiting my blog today! I have one more My Creative Scrapbook June Limited Edition kit layout to share, featuring the DIY Shop collection from Crate Paper.

This kit is just gorgeous and so perfectly coordinated... a total joy to work with as it practically scrapped itself. I made 3 layouts and still have plenty of pieces left to use for some cards.


I adore this photo of Allison. I know it's hard to see, but I snapped this photo right after she had plucked a dandelion out of the ground. She was just standing there admiring it.



Here is the kit. If you've been thinking about subscribing, I highly recommend heading over to the My Creative Scrapbook website, here, to find the information about each of the kits. While you're there, take a few moments to browse the fabulous design team gallery for some really amazing inspiration.


I will be back tomorrow with the June Creative kit :)
