Clique Kit DT Blog Hop

Hi Friends. It’s Sandra here, sharing another project life layout! Welcome to the Clique Kits Design Team  blog hop for 2015-2016 . I feel so blessed to be part of such an amazing design team and to work with such an awesome kit. 

I was really inspired by the products in this months kit and creating this layout really flowed for me.

I used some of my favorite colors in this layout so it really came together seamlessly. I really loved using the vellum and gold paper that came in the kit to layer with photos. This Layout really encompasses what makes up the core of who I am and for me, thats all the amazing people I'm surrounded with. 

Hope you enjoyed my Layout and the Blog Hop! If you haven't already be sure and checkout all the other amazing layouts my fellow DT ladies created. 

Here is the complete list for your reference:

Valentines

Hey Crafty Peeps! It's Sandra Amelia, and I'm here to share another project life layout with you guys. My Layout is Valentines themed and this kit worked perfectly with my photos. 

Using this months kit was so easy because I really loved all the elements and the colors can easily coordinate with whats already in your stash.

February Project Life Layout - Using My Creative Retreat Kit

Hello Everyone! Its Sandra Amelia here, sharing my first layout using this months amazing kit! I seriously love the colors and stamp set in this months kit so it was easy to feel very inspired.

I mixed my kit cards with ones I also had in my stash and the colors coordinated perfectly! I also used my creative retreat alpha stamps which I totally recommend you pick up while your getting your kit.

Thanksgiving Project life spread 2014

This is the last Layout I created for Project life and I really loved how it turned out! I don't pre-plan my project life spreads so its always so cool to watch them organically come together. I decided to have an insert for this spread because I had extra picture for the month of November which is why I posted the photo above first which is the layout with the insert and the bottom is without the insert. If you wanna see how I created this layout be sure to checkout my YouTube channel which is linked on the side bar or by clicking on the word Youtube < here. 

This is my insert page and I think it turned out really nice considering it was my first time adding an insert. I was scared at first the insert would stand out to much but in the end it really looked cohesive with my layout. I created a shaker card pocket by sewing a pocket closed ( with sequin) and added a cork 3x4 card over the top of it. For the journaling card I just whipped out my type writer and left that card quite simple because I didn't feel it needed anything else. The bottom card is quite simple so with a very small cluster of alpha stickers, star paper clip and studio calico masking tape. Below this picture this insert is the other side of the insert.

" Take Ten " September Sneak Peak

Hey Crafty Peeps!
If  your subscribed to my YouTube channel then you know I'm on "The Studio 29" design team! I'm so excited to share with you guys the sneak peek of their September Kit. I have always loved these kits even before I was on the design team and I know you guys will because you can't beat the quality and price of this amazing kit. 

I love this whole kit but at most of you know my craft addiction of choice is stamps and art supplies so I decided to combine them! If you guys decide to subscribe to this kit then you will get this super cute photo polymer stamp set (which I'm currently obsessing over).

To create the same look I did your gonna need similar items shown in this photo but you could easily substitute the masking take with washi tape or the distress inks with watercolors, color mists etc. I used what I had in my stash so I encourage you to do the same but the one item that you will need is the stamp set itself. For a step by step tutorial be sure to checkout my YouTube channel.

Labor Day challenge!

Hey Crafty Peeps!
I thought in honor of Labor Day I would join in on the challenge over at http://butterflyreflectionsink.blogspot.com/! If you haven't checked out there blog or there store yet then you need to pop on by because they have fun challenges and the store owner Vanessa is so nice! I decide for this challenge I would create a custom project life card with a fall theme since fall is my favorite time of year! I'm really inspired by nature and tree's which pretty much sums up fall for me.

The challenge mood board inspired me to pull out my water color palette since the feathers have that typical water color look to them. and the tree photo as well as the board walk with flip flops inspired me to add some wood grain type design elements!

I water colored the leaves on this card and used various sizes to add dimension and balance. I also went ahead and painted the script in the circle ( That is my own handwriting not a stamp) and I really love that quote. I used a light pink distress ink on the edges of the circles to add a small pop of color. The wood grain background is a Hero arts stamp which I stamped in archival brown ink and I sponged the edges of the card. I love the way this card turned out and cannot wait to use it in my project life album! Hope you guys like ( Now I'm off to drink a spice pumpkin latte).

New Project Life Page

Hey Crafty Peeps,
I'm back to share another Project life page with you guys! I'm really trying to get better at posting on my blog but sometimes I just get caught up with my Vlogging/Craft videos. I hope you all had a great fourth of July with your family and friends! I actually didn't do much this fourth of July other then just some grilling with my bf but I'm just grateful we get anytime together after being long distance for more then a year. I'm so happy, I finally finished this page because since I had to stop a little more then half way through because of my move, it seemed like it was taking forever to get finished. For those of you who mainly just stick to my Blog you should go checkout the giveaway video I posted a few weeks ago on my YouTube channel because you get more then one entry if you also follow my Blog. I'm constantly playing catch-up on my Project life album but I've accepted that since I've been more of ( when-ever I feel like) Project lifer but I do hope to be able to it monthly at some point without getting behind. I don't really stress getting behind on pages because to me that defeats the purpose of why I do project life in the first place ( It's my relax/zen time).

I actually used my homemade enamel dots for the first time! I personally think they look great and you really can't even tell they were homemade. What do you guys think?

I love adding little touches of stitching to my pages! I think PL is all about small details to bring your own unique style to your spreads, just like you would with a scrapbook page.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my page and if you have any questions or just feeling like popping by to say "hi" feel free to do so in the comments because I loved to hear from you!
