Paper Issues: January Swag Bag Spotlight!

Hi Creatives!

Welcome back for one of my absolute favourite shares of the Paper Issues calendar, 

Yay!!!

It's no secret that I love me a Swag Bag!

They're always stashed full of SO many awesome cards and embellishments - that despite trying I never seem to use them all up!

Well, starting from now I am determine to use them all up! 

Today's layout is made from the 2017 June Swag Bag.......

Here's what I've created, 

"Brave, Rad, Cool, Little Man"

Isn't this so  much fun?!!

La la LOVE this!

Apart from my cardstock, 12 x 12 Crate Paper pattern paper base, Thicker stickers & mixed media everything else you see here is from the Swag Bag! 

I know, crazy huh?! SO many 3 x 4 cards and cool embellishments! 

(especially when I made 2 other layouts with this mini kit last year - that's some serious good value!)

Swag Bags are only $9.99 USD but, they do sell out fast!

A few close ups for you.....

Lots of Crate Paper Cool Kid collection, and I just adore the cute buttons too!

The mixed media background is made from my stash of Shimmerz Paints. 

I applied Vibez in Jeni Be Bleu and Deep Blue Sea using the packaging technique. Very cool!

Loving the layered 3 x 4 cards beneath my photo and Wild Child sentiment!

Super cool! (A bit like my handsome subject in the photo! ;)  )

Paper Issues: February Swag Bag

Hi Happy Arty Days Fans!

It's time for one of my favourite shares on the Paper Issues calendar, 

It's no secret how much I LOVE the Paper Issues Swag Bags!

I often refer to them as lil gems or bags of gold, cause they're that awesome!

A sampler bag if you will, of what's hip, cool, sassy and fun in the Paper Issues store!

I have fallen head over heels for the January bag...

I actually ordered two of them - one for scrapboooking and one for planning!

Here's a peak at my planner with the January Swag Bag....

So much prettiness!!! 

You can see a video and more pics of my planner spread over on my 

instagram account here. 

And here's my layout! It's created entirely from the January Swag Bag 

(except for  the 12 x 12 cardstock & watercolor paints - they're from my stash) .....

"ADORED"

More prettiness! Told you the Swag Bags are lil gems!

How totally divine is this?!! I love you indeed my darling daughter!

A whole ton of my kinda embellishments here - glitter stickers, clear stickers, wooden buttons & sequins! Love them all! 

In keeping with the hearts theme, I cut out those polka dot hearts from the 3 x 4 cards that you get in the Swag Bags. The black and white really breaks up all that pink and makes everything pop!

All those hearts!

And speaking of hearts, how about that stunning fringed heart below....

Gorgeous! The heart actually had a Happy V Day sentiment on it, so I simply used a sticker to cover it. Works perfectly now! All the heart eyes! 

Love the  3 x 4 & 6 x 4 cards in the swag bags - they're always so complimentary and coordinating to all the embellishments.

And seriously, ALL those embellishments!!! SO much in such a cute lil bag!

Love me a Swag Bag or two!!!

 I hope my layout has convinced you to get yours on subscription so you don't miss out next month! 

(At only $9.99 USD, they sell out super fast!)
