April 2015 Pep Rally featuring Happy Everything!




Welcome to the Pep Rally!!  You should have just come from Cassandra's Blog, if you haven't been on the hop today you can start here then follow the lineup at the end of the post, ENJOY!!





This month was Clique Kit's birthday... they are ONE YEAR OLD!!! Fantastic! I have been a member since their very first kit and that is exciting for ME!!! I love being a part of Clique Kits, it's not just the kits, it's the support of the whole community. Our Facebook group is a fantastic place of inspiration and encouragement. This month's challenge was:

Celebration Month! This April, Clique Kits is celebrating our 1 year Anniversary. We are so excited that we have been able to share our passion for scrapbooking and build such a supportive international community. Show us a celebration of any kind for this month's Pep Rally- it could be a birthday, anniversary, wedding, reunion, or just an everyday party...you can either show us in a layout, make a card for any celebration, or  show us how you use your supplies for party decor-the sky's the limit! Even if you don't have anything celebration themed to scrap this month- feel free to share in the body of your post something you are celebrating in the month of April. 

This layout uses the kit, add ons from the kit (I had to have them all... almost this month) and two sheets of kraft cardstock and some gold Thickers, and some black and white heart washi from my stash. I rarely do a two page layout, but felt this had to be two pages. I love LOVE the touches of Webster's pages Vellum, I feel like there are such awesome touches of unexpected with the kits. I love those clay rainbows, I was determined to use them on a layout. The watercolor cardstock stickers are SO PRETTY and I outlined them with a Sakura Gel Pen to make them stand out a bit more. This layout is all about how I really started knitting this fall and decided to make all the Christmas gifts I wanted to give with my knitting. I think that is celebrating in two ways... celebrating a new hobby and Christmas! 






Everything in this kit just makes me smile! I love the content!! Those little pineapples with the hearts made me SMILE!! (Yes even made me want to use them!) Have fun seeing what everyone else has made. I am using "Everything is Awesome" as the soundtrack to this month's blog hop! Have fun!!!
Next Stop, Carolina!

I'm back... up and RUNNING!

The last couple of weeks have been really awkward, Macseen (my senior Macbook Pro) has been very sick. In the last year she has gotten a new harddrive, a new battery, new memory and finally a new charger. She has been up and down and up and down, and now finally seems to be doing well. It's been awkward trying to update everything on a borrowed machine, sometimes while I'm typing on the borrowed machine it would just skip over and start typing into a sentence that was finished. I'm not sure that makes sense, but I'm pretty sure it's just hand/finger placement but it made trying to blog VERY difficult. I've made a couple of videos and yesterday I went ahead and uploaded and released a video of my Clique Kit Agenda 2.0 kit. I've also gotten some happy mail that I'm going to be sharing with you and I'm so excited to let you know I have a giveaway coming up, so stay tuned!

Here's that Agenda video, it's a very quick on as so many people have already filmed this paper collection... it's AMAZING and I'm loving having a fancier planner... anyone want to see what I came from and what I've got going on now?

Love and hugs!!

Charity

Massive Haul... April Clique Kits Kit and etc...

\

I have been eagerly awaiting the one year anniversary kit from Clique Kits, and I was not disappointed, I also got in my awesome Webster's Pages Planner and my Agenda kit which sold out but I had asked them not to ship it until my planner came in. This is a huge haul and I can't wait to get back into town to play with it all!
