Hello scrappy friends! I have joined the some of my fellow YT creators in a series called "For the Love of Homemade Kits". This series challenges us to make a kit using supplies from our stash following a recipe each month. Each Monday, we will provide a layout using the kits we have made for the month. I thought this was a wonderful idea to really make a dent in my extensive stash collection. I shall link my kit video and the process video for this layout down below.
For this layout, I started off with a lovely whimsical heart cut file. I did the offset cut in one of the floral papers from my kit that used purple tones.
I used gel medium to add areas of gold glitter to my cut files in different random areas. I also added iridescent glitter glue to other random areas of the white cut file. I love the look this gave the cut files while it lays on top of the offset.
For the background paper, I used the white brick patterned paper from an old Maggie Holmes collection. Its a cream color and it really let the cut files shine on top. Now I didn't originally choose purple embellishments, so I still stash dived to find a pack of purple flowers from HL that were in my craft room.
For my title I choose 'Smile' from a thicker collection and then picked and choose purple pieces of embellishments from the packs I choose for my homemade kit.
I was able to use one of the flair buttons on this layout too. I had three corners of embellishment clusters for your eyes to travel around the page with ease.
The photo I am scrapping is of Valentina and I during our photo shoot for Mothers Day. It was an adorable moment captured between the poses where I was in a deep laugh and Valentina was too.
