Hi everyone! We had Misty Russell join us this month as a guest designer. She is so talented and created so many amazing projects with the May Kit of the Month “Coffee & Muse” Here are a few of her projects.
I can't get over how jammed packed this kit is. I have created 7 projects with the kit (and the mixed-media add on), and I still have tons of goodies left. In fact, there are 3 large prima tags in the kit that I'm hoping to tackle soon. Cards and tags aren't something I do well, but I love them and want start getting better at both.
So first up, I have the OTP project included in the kit. Every month they include an OTP project, and I think that is just awesome!!! This month was the Tim Holtz Configuration book.
I've used modeling paste and mists from the mixed media kit, as well as some of my own mists created with Dr. Ph. Martin inks. The corner flourishes, are included in this months new release at Scrap Fx.
I decided to keep the inside fairly simple, and not over embellish.
I've never tackled a configuration box before and was a little intimidated at first. Thankfully, since the boxes are removeable, it made putting this together nice and easy!
This next project is a layout made for my youngest niece Ciera. This was a page that was put together rather quickly...and that never happens for me. I literally put this together within a 15 min time frame, I really hope it doesn't show??? It was an attempt at a minimalist type of page with lots of negative space. Unfortunately, I think in order to make these types of pages, I need to print off smaller pics because I still took up a large part of the page...
My final project, is another layout. This is probably my favorite out of all the things I created with this kit. It was totally me, and went together smoothly without having to think too much (I love those type of creations)...
I've used the 7 Dot paper and tons of flowers in the kit as well as the prima word stickers. The feathers were also made from 7 dot paper. The butterflies were actually fussy cut from a catalogue that included stamp paper in it. The images were so inspiring that I will be fussy cutting it more for future projects...
In the background I used the Claudine Helmuth stamps included in the Mixed-media add on....
This blue color here is mix of the white and teal colored dylusions mists included in the mixed-media add-on as well. I love the color that came about with this mix!
