Product Highlight - Foam & Chipboard Thickers

Hi CTK friends! It's Anna on the blog today to bring you this month's Product Highlight. This time we want to inspire you to incorporate your foam or/and chipboard Thickers on your creations, YAY!
Love me some Thickers! :) There's lots of them if you get both the August Perfectly Posh Scrapbook and Add On kit's and the are just awesome.

I've made one layout and one TN spread and it works great to use Thickers for both of them. If you don't want your TN to bulky you can easily split them up to make them thinner, at least the chipboard Thickers, and mount them with regular glue instead. For me, I don't care to much if my TN gets a bit bulky, lol! Anyway I usualy doesn't use Thickers on each and every page.

Enough babbling, here's what I came up with.

First out is my layout made with the August Perfectly Posh Scrapbook kit, the Pocket Life kit, the Add On kit, the Embellishment kit and the free digital cut apart sheet.

I immediatly fell in love with this lovely paper by Maggie Holmes Willow Lane with this BIG sentence. I did really step out of my comfort zone using mostly white backgrounds thanks to my crush on this paper, LOL!

And I really like how easy you get some texture and dimension on your pages by using different Thickers.

Next out is this outdoor inspired TN spread made with the August Perfectly Posh Scrapbook kit, the Add On kit and the Outdoor Adventures stamp.

I was so inpired by the backside of the Outdoor Adventure stamp set so I decided to use them with some happy colored ink pads instead of my regular black one. I love to try "new" things and I really like how it turned out. And I also love the look of using these "YAY" foam Thickers upon my photo, pretty cool way of using Thickers, have to try that more :)

And that's all what I have for now! There's so much to love about the August kits and I do really like these foam and chipboard Thickers and I'm sure you'll love the too. Be sure to share your creations with us in the CTK Fan Page on Facebook. And if you are up on Instagram? So are we!

Travelers Notebooks With Perfectly Posh!

Hello, there!
I'm so excited to share with you how I've been documenting some recent photos in my travelers notebook with the brand new Perfectly Posh kits. I used the Pocket Life kit work with these pages and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. It was so easy to execute the look I was going for -- I felt like the pages created themselves!

I started in my Favorites, personal size insert.  I use this insert for photos that are near and dear to my heart, for one reason or another.  I allow myself total and complete freedom in this album.  I don't have to journal, tell any particular story or anything like that.  It's only for me!  How freeing! Therefore, I really wanted to keep it simple -- with the basics.  So, the whole left hand side was simply a sheet of the patterned paper. The right side! Oh, my heart!  The die cuts are always my favorite and having one that says home?  It's literally perfect for this photo.  And I just love it!

For this page, we've moved on!  This is a special insert (standard size) I created for a road trip we took this summer to visit colleges north of us in California.  I was called to trim down this last page - so I did that and then got to layering and clustering the die cuts (again, I told you they are my favorite!) around this 2x3 photo. This is the final page in this insert - so I love how the eclectic design ties the whole insert together.

Last, but not least! Another page in the same road trip insert as above. This time -- I added some stamping with the Outdoor Adventures stamp set.  I am OBSESSED.  Like, I seriously love this stamp and have so many ideas how to use it!

For this page, I stamped the image at the top in black ink and kept the rest of the embellishments soft -- this way your eye is drawn upward.  Because, in case it was not obvious, that is a Redwood tree! I wanted to make the height felt in this page!
