Melanie Jarocki: Style Projects

Linear, journaling, embellishment clusters, borders, and banners--that is how I defined my style in my post earlier this month. I really enjoyed working with the January kits, just letting go and doing my thing :)

This first layout is with the Main Kit. I loved the colorful papers! I decided on a primary color theme since the layout was focusing on my 3-year-old. Lots of lines, borders, and a banner.

I added some Jenni Bowlin paint to the chipboard hearts, along with some stickles to make them sparkle. I sprinkled some Perfect Pearls mist and Mister Huey white on the background as well.

For my next layout with the Main kit, I went girly!  The big floral print on the Pink Paislee paper has such a feminine feel to it. Again, I added a border . . . this time with the yellow dot paper and some stitching. Lots of lines on this page, too :)

I had a larger cluster of embellishments by the title, combining the Crate paper sticker, Pink Paislee die cut, and the thickers in the Frugal Fab kit.

You can see how I included journaling on both of my layouts--fun stories to share!

One more project with the main kit . . . a card. I love making cards!  First up, I used some grey cardstock to contrast with the pink and yellow colors. I stitched around the edges of the card and then stitched the pink lace on top of the paper strips. Then, I layered the Crate Paper stickers and added a Kaiser rub-on for a finishing touch. Just to add a bit more balance, I put the little Hello sticker up in the corner.

With the Frugal FAB kit, I continued making some cards. Yellow is my favorite color so this ornament by Pink Paislee definitely had to be on one of my projects! I thought it looked really nice against the green background. I added some of the Kaiser Craft rub ons for a subtle detail.
The sentiment is from SRM stickers.

This last card if by far my favorite! I just adore butterflies :) I hand-cut these ones out of the American Crafts patterned papers. The perforated tag lines on the bottom of the AC papers are perfect to add for accents on projects. I used another SRM sentiment sticker and then thought the Crate Paper stickers from the Main kit would add a fun touch to rhyme kisses with wishes :)

 LOVED working with the kits this month! So much color to play with and a variety of embellishments. Thanks for stopping by today.
