June Cupcake kit

Hi again everyone,

I am back to share another layout using the June Cupcake kit from

A Pice of cake designs.

This layout is a photo of my daughter who LOVES

to read!! She is also a great, animated story teller and I really

wanted to document this aspect of her life. 

Often when we go shopping and if she has some pocket money , more 

often than not she goes straight for the book sections

in the stores.

I have like the last layout,

used a tag from the kit to highlight and frame my 

Instagram photo.

I have used lots of different strips of the papers,

as well as the sticker sheet in the kit.

I have added some of my own washi tapes and a past kit flair.

I LOVE this mask so I used a yellow Faber Castell

gelato to add these words to my page. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are enjoying your kit 

More of a Piece of cake Designs...

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you this grungy, boyish, fun layout today using the contents from the main kit this month from "A Piece of Cake designs".

There are lots or gorgeous papers and embellishments in this month's kit that can be used for both feminine or masculine layouts. This time I have created this one!

The  kraft cardstock was my base to begin with and using lot's of different strips of the various papers I created a background for this photo of Will taken a few years ago!
To add a grungy feel I used a sewing machine to add in some messy black stitching and added a layer or some white gesso over the background using an old credit card.

Once again I loved using the film strip stickers and this time used the basic grey scrabble letters as my title.
I painted some of the cute veneer shapes to match my circular panel.
I have added some circular panels by 2 Crafty to add some dimension to my page.
As I always do I used various stamps to add interest to my layout!

Thanks for popping by, Eb x

I used PURPLE!!!!

Ok, I have a confession to make.... I hate the colour purple! BUT this kit has made me change my mind!!

I actually loved using it! This kit had a mix of beautiful colours, yellows, purples, greys, aqua and even red. I LOVED putting these layouts together and I even used lot's of paper on one layout!
Here is the first of my layouts....

This layout started off by using the chevron patterned papers which inspired my use of colours here.
I used some yellow paint on some white cardstock mixed with some blue paint with the Teresa Collins Heart stencil from the kit to create my background. Add in some machine stitching, various washi tapes from my own stash and some stamping.
I added the cut out camera and a cherry flair to be released soon :) along with some sticker elements from the sticker sheet in the kit.
The title was created tracing the letters from the Teresa Collins alphabet stencil and coloured in with a green Faber Castell gelato.

This next layout  was the first of my "purple " layouts and pushed me out of my comfort zone!

I began by selecting a range of papers from the kit that included purples, yellows and a bit of  tangerine in them. I tore and cut these papers and layered until i was happy. I then took the alphabet stencil and coloured over it with a yellow gelato.  ( you could spray with mist or use paint ). I then sprayed it with water and used it like a stamp over my papers on my background. 

I then sewed over my papers and added some stencils, stamping and some washi tapes. 

My title is from the kit which I loved! It makes me want to buy a silhouette for myself!

I also once again added a new flair to be released soon, and some of the gorgeous sequins .

Until next time, Eb x
