Pensive - Scrapping Fun Kit DT

I am up on the Scrapping Fun Kits blog today with my final layout using the Exclusive Neon Kit.  I still have a few little bits left to use on another project down the track, which is great.

Once that decision was made it was time to play with layers.

When I wanted some butterflies punched from my paper scrap from the kit for my Hugs layout  I punched them out so that I would still have a small usable piece for layering in a future layout if needed, so I was glad I did this as I needed this piece for my this layout.

The Alphas in the kit had little flowers so I added 2 of these to the layouts with my embellishment clusters to pull a aspect of the title into other parts of the layout for balance.

I also included a Wire Half Flower. made with pink beading wire in my cluster.

The photo I used was one I found in a box that was damaged as it seems it was glued into something and then pulled out.  It is one my daughter took with her webcam in her mid teens and I thought should looked very deep in thought so titled it Pensive.  

I love how this layout turned out.
This soft purple marbled paper was perfect for my  needs, it gave the background some interest but as everything else was so busy it calmed things down and helped it feel more balanced.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge - using more of my kit - Beautiful.

I was wanting to use the left over piece from the Dusty Attic chipboard in the Exclusive Neon Kit from Scrapping Fun Kits.

As I was playing with my supplies I realised that the supplies that would best suit this layout were supplies from my Counterfeit Kit Challenge March Kit, so time for another layout using these supplies

I experiemented with colouring the chipboard, first with gelatos, which was so pretty but not right for my layout so I painted it with teal paint.

I cut up the part that would wind up under the glasses paper to place it under the paper in 5 places so it would be at the correct height.

The photo shows 4 but I cut the one that would be in the top right corner in half so I would have a piece for the middle.

I added some of the teal paint with some bubble wrap, covering the main part of my layout with paper so only a little went on it.

I added a strip of the camera paper down the side as I wasn't happy with the results of the paint on that side.

I decided a couple of days after finishing the layout to add some shimmer to my chipboard, unfortunatly it didn't turn out how I wanted but I decided to stop trying to fix my layout and embrace it.

Hugs - Scrapping Fun Kits Design Team

I am up on the Scrapping Fun Kits blog Today with another layout for the Design Team using the Exclusive Neon Kit.
From the kit I used the fun papers and the Neon Pink Felt Bow.

I won a $10 store credit with Charms Creations and my gorgeous hearts and tabs I got with my store credit arrived just in time for this layout.

I made one of my wire half flowers to add to the cluster in pink wire.  And I used one of the butterflies and the flower from the cut apart that Morgyn created.

New planner set up aka returning to what works.

Today I am up on the Scrapping Fun blog with details of my new weekly and daily planner set up. well my return to what works best for me.

I lost my Planner Groove last year and I really need my planner to work for me as having Dyspraxia, EDS & Fibro if my planner isn't working for me then I forget things so I stepped back to the inserts that worked best for my from Jen on her blog Organised Lifestyle back in 2014.

I love the weekly To Do List and Tracker in these inserts I find a weekly To Do works better for me rather than a daily.

I rarely decorate my planner inserts however my printer is being tempramental and printed lines where there shouldn't be lines so I used the washi from the Neon kit and a couple of thin neon washi from my stash to hide this.  And added some decoration using the fun hearts from the kit.

I dated my inserts with incorrect dates so the printable Morgyn created for this kit came in very handy as they covered my errors so I could date them correctly.

I have used a highlighter to mark the time between school runs so I can quickly see the chunk of time and plan it out each day.
Highlighters were the perfect thing to use with the Neon kit.
There are certain things I need to get done each week that are best done between school runs.  I don't have set days for most things as I never know if I may be called to pick up one of my kids early due to a EDS related issue.


I love that Jen's daily inserts have a seperate To Do on for at Home and Out.  I find breaking up my To Do's like this very helpful.

Now to finish planning out my week.

Beautiful Just the way you are - 12x12 layout

I am up on the Scrapping Fun Kits blog Today with my layout for the Design Team using the Exclusive Neon Kit.

This kit had me thinking of the 1980's and so I really wanted to record  some of my childhood memories with it.
