Clique Kits Pep Rally

Hello all!!  You should have arrived here from Sandy's blog.  Today, I am going to share my planner page for August and I have a process video for you.  I will tell you, me and technology have been bumping heads for a while.  I won the battle, though so that's all that counts. Ha.

I purchased the MAMBI planner from the Clique Kits Store and I LOVE IT!!  The July Kit was such a fun kit and I used some of the papers to create my August Planner page.



You are off to Donna's Blog.  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!

Project Life Week 10 and Process Video

Hey there everyone!  It's been so long since I've posted a PL spread.  Who would have thought summer would be so busy?  It's been nonstop and I hate to say it I only have three weeks left.  I'm going to share my Week 10 spread.  I made it with the Clique Kits Kit, Carpe Diem.

The Date 8.5 by 11 Layout with Process Video

I decided to go with an 8.5 x 11 layout just to change it up a little.  I wanted to go clean and simple for this layout.  Wolfie and I went on a breakfast date.  He was beyond thrilled, I tell you.  Don't you just love preteen kids?  Anyhow, here is the process video for you.

May Wrap Up

I don't know if I feel as though May flew by, or if it was the longest month ever.  It was a busy month with a lot of things going on.  My uncle passed on May 5.  The weeks leading up to his death were very hard on us..for him and for all of our family.  It is still very sad that he is gone.  I think about him a lot.  On top of that, we had school ending this month so I was frantically trying to get everything done before we left town for my brother's graduation.  He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Law School!!!  I will post those pics later.

I just wanted to finish up by posting all of my layouts for this month in case you missed them.  I also want to share some awesome new products in the Clique Store.  In addition to that, I'm looking forward to summer and being home with the kids.

I ordered this from the Clique Store...I'm officially on the planner bandwagon now.  I just couldn't stop myself when I saw these awesome planners.

I am anxiously awaiting my order.  If you wish to order from Clique Kits, make sure enter the discount code MARIAH10 for ten percent off of your purchases.

Lake Fun 12x12 Layout Using Clique Kits May Kit Carnival (Process Video)

Hello Everyone!  I hope you all got to participate in the Clique Kits National Scrapbooking Day event yesterday.  There were so many great challenges, events, and prizes.  Today, I have a layout to share with you.  We went to the lake for a day during Spring Break.  The weather was cold especially on the boat.  We fished all day, but caught nothing.  Don't you hate when that happens?  Anyhow, we went ashore for a few minutes and climbed some rocks for this picture.  You can see it was cold because we are all wearing long sleeves.

And here is the process video for this layout so you can see how I created it.  I hope you enjoy it.  Have a great day!

Art Layout for Clique Kits May Kit: Carnival (Process Video too)

Hello lovelies!  I hope you find yourselves well and happy.  I'm a little under the weather, thanks to all of the blooming flowers.  I'll take it though, because it means warmer weather and summer.  I have a layout for you today.  I made this using the awesome May Kit:  Carnival.

This is a layout I made featuring my son.  He's a very talented painter.  He spends a lot of time painting, much to the destruction of our carpet.  I used the paint that came in the kit to add some depth and what fun would a layout about painting be without paint?  I also used the awesome background diecut that comes with the cut files.   You can learn more about how I made this layout with my Process video.  I hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any questions.  Have a beautiful day!

Clique Kits Pep Rally|Happy Everything

Hello everyone!  You just arrived from Kat's Blog.  I am wrapping up this blog hop!  I hope you enjoyed all of the lovely projects all of the wonderful ladies shared today.

Clique Kits is One Year Old this month!!!  I can't express how proud I am of the founders!  It's amazing:  The community they have created, the beautiful kits they send out each month, and the awesome products and limited edition kits in the Clique Store.  I am extremely proud to be part of the Design Team and to promote this amazing kit club!

I'm going to share a few layouts with you.  The first one, I created for this post.  The others I created and have shared before, but I want you to have a chance to see them if you already haven't.  I really loved the "Happy Everything" kit.  The colors, papers, and embellishments were AMAZING!  This is one of my all time favorite kits.

Here is my first layout.

For this layout, I used a strip of the vellum paper in the kit, and a scrap strip.  I loved the background paper with all of the cute hearts and stars.  I used one of the cards and lots of the ephemera that came in the kit.

My favorite layout of the month.

I love this photo.  It is one of my most favorite in the world.  I used the diecuts that came with the kit.  I even did use my sewing machine to stick the embellies on!!

Here is a Project Life spread I made.

So there you have it.  Some layouts using this amazing kit, Happy Everything.  Don't forget to check out my Youtube Channel.  I will have some process videos coming up soon.  Have a wonderful day!  Congrats to Clique Kits.  Happy Anniversary!!!

My Scrapbook Planner Video Tutorial

I was lucky enough to be a guest blogger for the lovely Lydia.  You can check out my entire post here.  I wanted to make sure you got to see the video explaining how I use a notebook to plan scrapbooking pages.

 

I hope this video makes sense, and if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments!

Happy Sunday!!

Project Life Week 6

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to Week 6 of my Project Life Album.  This week, I made another one page layout for the week.  I also shared this layout last week on The Pocket Source along with some photo tips.  The Pocket Source is an amazing community filled with a lot of Pocket Page inspiration and ideas.  I invite you all to check it out and create a profile on their page.

For this Week's spread, I used Clique Kits April Kit, "Happy Everything."  April is Clique Kits' Anniversary month and this kit rocks!  It is loaded with a ton of cute papers and embellishments from Pink Fresh Studio.  The kit is sold out but please go here to put your name on the subscriber wait list. There are some cute goodies in the Clique Store as well.  If you buy any of those items, please enter the discount code MARIAH10 for ten percent off of your purchase.  

I love this kit!  I also used some of the cutfiles that come with the kit...Those are the clouds.  I'll be posting more projects featuring those cute clouds so you can get a better look at them.  I'm also going to share a video of What's inside the April Kit so you can get a closeup look at all the goodies!  I hope you all have a great day!

My You Tube Channel

Hello There!  I've been wanting to post videos on Youtube of layout processes and techniques.  I finally got my Youtube Channel up and running!  It's been a complete chore because my Internet service is horrendous.  We are hoping to change service providers and this should rectify that.  Today, I wanted to share with you a quick process video for this layout.  I know you've seen this layout before in the Clique Kits Pep Rally but I was unable to get the video uploaded.  It actually took a week to get that done.  So here is the video below.  Make sure to subscribe to my channel. I'm planning on having a lot more videos for you in the future.
