Tuesday Tutorial With Leigh

Welcome to the Tuesday Tutorial! Leigh here with a layout and process video

using the Mermaid Add-on Kit for July 2017.

I went retro with the metal rimmed tags, and pretty papers from the Add-on Kit. This layout is based on the Sunday November 22, 2015 Citrus Twist Kit Sketch here .

 Punch circles to use with or without the metal rimmed tags, and add color coordinated embellishments on top of a few of them.

Pick a patterned paper for the top and bottom of your page. TIP: you can use the six by six paper on a bigger layout. Just trim two pieces to the same width and fold over one of them to look like a pleat.

Close up of the shaker circle tag I created with the seashell print from the six by six paper in the kit, and thin strips of foam tape, some glitter, and punched star shapes.

Add the word stickers from the kit and a date, and the fun chipboard sunglasses from the kit too!

Thank you for visiting,

Sunday Sketch with Leigh

Hello friends, Leigh here to share a Sunday Sketch for today.

The Mermaid Add-on Kit this month is awash in sun-bleached, gorgeous summer colors.

A rainbow of embroidery floss was used to match the beautiful kit colors.

I had so much fun choosing little die cuts and bits to place along the different colors of stitched rays.

Close up to show the hand-stitched floss and variety of pretty kit embellishments.

I cut the die cut apart to feature the words I wanted for the title. "Mermaid Hair" was perfect for this photo of my daughter's hair this summer.

I layered a die cut frame, surfboard, and polka-dot mat from the six by six paper pad in the kit, under the photo, and raised it up on foam dots.

Aren't the colors in the Mermaid Add-on Kit for July 2017 so beautiful? It is the perfect kit with so many options for creating in your Traveler's Notebooks, Planners, and paper crafting projects this summer. 

Thank you for joining us today, and happy crafting,

Leigh
