Photobomb Layout
I can't believe how quickly and easily the page layouts come together when you have a page kit. Making my own page kits from my stash is actually fun and a great way to use up what you have. Nicole Jones 9-1-1 on YouTube was my inspiration for how to put the kits together. One thing she said was it always seems to work out with your pictures and she is right. Either you come up with what pictures will work with it while you build the kit or later on you when you have pictures out you will find the right kit that will work. I had this picture I took off of Facebook because I just loved it and it makes me smile every time. When I was creating the kits I was matching the embellishments with the papers and came across this cute 3D sticker of a seal and I immediately knew that picture of the seal was the perfect picture for the layout. Here is the layout I created.

Page Kits
Hello Everyone,
When I posted my last layouts my intentions where to keep it going but alas Hurricane Irma messed all my best-laid plans. But I'm back and I wanted to tell you about making your own page kits. Over the years I always seem to buy more product than I actually get used on my projects...way too many pretty things if you know what I mean. So I've been watching Nicole Jones 911 on YouTube and she makes page kits out of her stash so I thought I would give it a try. What have I got to lose right?!?! So I started by getting a lot of papers out and I brought in some really old papers that I've had since 2004 and even older along with newer stuff (meaning the last couple of years). Matched up papers that worked well together then added embellishments. So I've used three of the kits since finishing putting them together and let me tell you it was awesome! I didn't have to do a lot of searching through all of my very extensive stash of scrappy goodness to find things etc. The pages came together quickly and while putting a few of them together I knew immediately what pictures to use which you will see with the old photos of my parents. I will definitely be doing more of this and maybe get some of my stash used up and quit looking like a hoarder...LOL!
Nicole Jones 911 has done a complete series of videos on how she puts her page kits together as well as doing layouts using them. Below I have her 1st of I believe 7 videos she did this year of how she puts her page kits together. She has a playlist called Prep Video which has all the videos in that playlist. She also has a playlist called CalvinBall where she did the same thing last year. You can get a lot of inspiration watching them and then you can change it up to suit your needs and you can see how she uses her kits to make pages. Now here are the three layouts I made using my stash which like I said some of it was very old so it feels good to use it up and get pictures and stories done and in the albums! The first layout I did for a Victoria Marie challenge which I did of a conference I went to earlier this year. The second layout is a gigantic statute I seen in Sarasota, Florida when I was there for some training the instantly remained me of my parents so the center picture is the statute and the pictures of my parents on either side. The third layout is of my beautiful daughter who can take the most amazing selfies I have ever seen. She is so photogenic and I am not! Below my layouts is Nicole's first video of her series from this year. Enjoy!
