Hello Baby!

Hi everyone! It's Tara sharing how I'm using the "Oh, Sweet Baby" Add-on kit from this month to start a few layouts. We are expecting our third child in January and this kit was perfect for starting a baby album! I paired the Add-on kit with the lovely Seven Clara album available in the shop.


I decided to cut down the last row of 2x2 boxes to have a more narrow title page. I also love having the next page have a peek-a-boo effect with different sized protectors.

Most of the items I used came from the add-on kit, plus some Crate Paper Wonder ephemera from the shop (sold out now), and a wood chip from our Happy Lane Nov PL kit (also sold out).

I added a little bit of the gold washi tape from the "Happy Lane" PL kit on the ephemera. It added just a little extra without going over the top.

I love adding the little bits and pieces to make this layout come together.


My next layout shares our dating ultrasound - I wasn't as far along as I thought but we were excited to welcome another addition to our family!

I really love all the stamps that come in the kits and use them often! The roller stamp in "Oh, Sweet Baby" is one of my new favorites too!

Here it is closer for you to see the details.

 I am in love with all the bright colors that were included in both the PL and Add-on kits. They compliment each other very well!

It's so easy to customize ephemera or PL cards by adding some stamps, extra bits of patterned paper, or the included cut outs from the kit. The possibilities are endless!


I wanted to add more journaling but make the layout interactive as well as keep it well hidden for only us to share together. Using a tag from my stash helped me create it, along with some washi also in my stash.

Here is the hidden journaling written on the backside of the tag.

And one more shot of our baby's profile - just as perfect as can be! 

Please share your creations that you have made with our November kits! I'll slowly be adding more to share as I build up this album a little at a time. 

Thank you for stopping by and keep on creating!

Xxo, Tara

Pocket Life Sketch Friday with Diane

Hi everyone, Diane here and it's time for Pocket Life Sketch Friday again! Don't forget that we have a giveaway associated with the sketches I'll give you at the end of this post.

Sometimes when I'm in a bit of a funk, I find the best way to get out of it is to try to do something a bit different. So for this week, I challenged myself to use a circle on EVERY SINGLE CARD!And it turned out easier than I thought.

Here is the process video of how this layout came together...



And here are a few close-ups...

Autumn Pocket Pages with inspiration video!

Hello! It's Kasia here today and I would like to share with you pages made for my Pocket Life album with November Citrus Twist Kits!

We recently moved from Turkey to Poland and trying to adjust our life and schedules to new reality. I loved spending time outside as long as the weather was pretty but now it's getting dark early and the days are shorter- it's great opportunity to catch up with my album before the end of the year!

I usually scrap in the evenings, after I finish working. I set some candles, pour a cup of hot tea and move to my happy place full of scrapbooking goodies! It's the best way for me to relax, switch off and unplug for a while from the online world!

In today's post you can watch a simple video- have a look at my set-up and scrapbooking process while I'm creating the pages for my album!

Also here are some close ups of the finished pages featuring the gorgeous bits and pieces from all of November CTK kits- they are so cute and perfect to add little touches to any paper projects!

I'm looking forward to winter evenings and please keep fingers crossed that by the end of the year my 2015 album will be all done! There is still some catching up but with gorgeous products and hot tea in my mug I feel like I can do anything!

Pocket Life Sketch Friday

Happy FRIYAY!

It's Tara here sharing our weekly installment of Pocket Life Friday. Don't forget there is a giveaway associated with the sketches; read the end of the post to see how to enter!

The November Happy Lane PL kit is full of fun, unexpected colors. I love that this kit works for any location - hello to all my friends enjoying a warm, sunshiney autumn! I also added in some tidbits from the Hello Tomorrow Embellishment Kit for the perfect finishing touches.

Here are a couple of layouts I created this month. I loved the patterned paper and felt that most of them worked so well that I minimized layering and focused on the photos and stamping.

 I love the subtle hint of faux-watercolor on the patterned paper as well!

Here are a few close ups.

I was loving the gold washi so much that I created my own card with just a few simple things. I love how easy it is to make custom PL cards.

And now for the sketches:
