HK Memory Chest Kit Club - March 2016

Hi there. Seems like we just rang in the new year yesterday but in a blink of an eye, it's already March and time for the third kit of the year.  This month's kit is chock full of wonderful colours and patterns celebrating family and life. I love the balance of dark blues and greens with feminine florals and the packs of embellishments really help pull your pages together.

The sketch for this month:

Foodies Enjoying Life

I like the busy backgroung paper and all the cute elements to add to the page. The photos were taken in Japan - the land of food, or rather food heaven for Miss C and myself. We are both Japanese foodies.

 I gessoed some of the background before layering on my photos and elements. I added a banner of ribbons, trims and the cute light bulbs. The teapot and cups and just adorable.

I added a contrasting bar of green patterned paper for the top and bottom of the page.  The gold foam letters are so much fun to use.

Hey There Cuz

I wanted a grungy inky look contrasted against the soft pink background. The photo is of Miss C with her two second cousins on my side.

I love the mix of wooden and paper embellishments in the pack. Too cute. 

Cute cactus and a metal mug paperclip create a small accent corner.

I used pinks and light red inks on the background before stamping with black ink.

We Are Better Together

 Staying on the grungy background, I inked this one in blues and greens. The photo was taken in Japan Disneyland last summer.

 Loving the wood accents.

 I punched out the circles from strips of patterned paper and used the negative as an accent. The circles, I scattered around the page.

We Are Family

 I really love the background paper in this layout, love the navy blue with the dotted stripes. Such a good foil to the lighter embellishments.

 I cut the pink paper into diamonds and added the adorable houses all in a row.

A top accent corner to balance off the page.
