{video} gold leaf splatter | 18 weeks layout

Welcome to my first Two Girls and a Kit Summer Project!  I decided to combine a couple of the techniques inspired by the moodboard and recipe card with a gold leaf splatter idea : )

Here's the video/directions on creating your own gold leaf design in any shape, as well as how I put my page together:

The gold leaf turned out great....I'm so excited about the possibilities!  The technique I pulled from our summer recipe card is to layer a die-cut with a photo, and there is an example in the moodboard with a photo layered behind a cute saying.  I also used the "creating in the shape of a circle idea" from the first image on the moodbard.  My journaling is shaped into a half circle which is cut out of an actual full circle.  My Silhouette Cameo definitely came in handy for this layout.  Here are some close up photos....

Some things to note:

• I used the Bebas font for my journaling.
• I don't have a reference for the acutal splatter image (it's too old), but you can search dingbats at dafont.com for different splatters.

{video} TGK | my summer kit reveal

I'm so excited that today I get to share my scrapbook kit! Almost everything I used to build it was from my stash, and I explain in the video about the couple of items that I purchased specifically for this fun project. I just love all the happy mix of colors!! I tried my best to match the colors and ideas I'd like to implement from our summer moodboard, while keeping in mind that I was choosing products that would work for both the 4x4 mini album I plan on making as well as a layout or two.

The photos here include most of the items from my kit, but there are a few left out just because they didn't easily fit in frame.  Also, there are some (not many) things missing from the product list below.  They are things I couldn't find for sale anywhere because they are too old.  So, long story short, in order to see everything in my kit you'll have to watch the video ; )

If you decide to play along, just tag your photos with #twogirlsandakit so everyone can see!  And if you'd like help getting started everything we used to help put our kits together can be found HERE.

Lastly, don't forget to stop by and watch Amanda's video to see her custom kit too!  XO
