Hiya friends.

I thought I would pop on and share my layout that I created on the Facebook live last week on the Quirky Kits Facebook Group.

I chose to use black cardstock to really help my layout pop and was determined to use that hexagonal piece of patterned paper from Kaisercraft that came in the Main kit.

I sat and fussy cut the words from the other Kaisercraft paper (I love fussy cutting as it makes the kit go so much further!) and I used these around the hexagon and this doubled up as my title also.





I pulled some ephemera from the last kit to really stash bash and incorporated it with the Heidi Swapp stickers from the main kit. I added in some puffy stickers from my stash also as the colour of the hearts matched perfectly with the colours use in the layout.

I layered some ephemera and stickers both to the left of my photo and to the right. I also chose a photo with a black background to match the black cardstock that I used from the kit. I then added in some more pops of black by using some tiny word stickers (from my stash).

I think it's important to remember that a kit is only a base of where you can work from. If you have other items that work well with your layout then don't be scared to include them also. It's best to get them used up on layouts that they'll work on. Remember that there are no rules in scrapbooking.




And here is the final layout. I love how the gold foil pops against the background and I felt accomplished as that hexagonal piece of patterned paper was really a challenge for me....but I did it!!

I'll see you all here again very soon with another layout from this months kit.
