July's "Sweet!" Kit Reveal: Part 3 (Planner Dividers)

Hello there everyone! It is time for part 3 of the "Sweet!" reveal!!! So today I will be sharing with you all the Planner Dividers for our upcoming "Sweet!" collection/kit! Yaaaay! It is such a fun and summery collection! And so much in this kit is my favorite! Especially in these planner dividers! I mean, just look at all these gorgeous, vibrant colors and all the super cute-ness!!! And yes...those are calendar pages that you are getting now too in addition to the awesome and cute decorative planner dividers...hurrrah!!!!!!

If you know me, you know already, of course, that the Rainbow Unicorn Planner divider is my favorite!!!! She is just so beautiful! I think she knows it too! :-)

I love the ice-cream cone one too! It just makes me happy! It also really makes me want some ice-cream! And I think it just screams summertime!!!

Oh, and speaking of sweets, how darn cute is that cotton-candy girl with the little bow and the polka dots?! I love her! She is just smirking and has no clue I think that she is probably going to get eaten! Hahahahaha!

I think the "I am me and that's ok!" is another favorite of mine. It goes with one of the main themes of the "Sweet!" collection, which is -- being yourself and being okay with yourself!

I am loving the rainbow watercolor divider that says "Hello Summer"! It feels so fresh and just reminds me of a beautiful summer day outside!

That fabulous, and oh so cool, summertime gal with the "xo-xo" shades is definitely 100% herself and happy to be "one of a kind" ! She is so great! I had fun designing her! She has this very "pop" kind of look...kinda reminds me of artwork from the 80's! You can tell, she is killin it this summer!

And The quote divider that says: "sumertime = good friends, great food, sunshine, sea breeze, could I have some more please?!" is way cute! And it is totally what I will be saying all summer long!

I think the pink sunglasses divider is definitely perfect for Summertime! I love the cute pattern in the background too that looks like rainbow sprinkles or confetti or something! Just screams summer beach/pool party to me!

Oh, and the "Sun" divider also screams "it's time for summer"...don't you think? And just makes me want to go out and have a swim and play in the sunshine!

There are so many dividers in this kit that I love! They are all so cute and they all just make me feel like lying in the sunshine, by the beach, having fun with some sweets and a rainbow unicorn to chat with!!!

Oh, and I am so excited that we are doing something a bit different this time with our planner dividers -- they now include calendar pages too! Yaaay!

So you get those now too, to use and plan your hearts out! You get the month overview calendar pages and also the weekly calendar pages! [Note: I left off the dates and left the calendar month open so that you can fill that information in and use the blank calendar pages for anytime and any month you want!]

And how cool is this ledger that you get too? So cool that it says "Hello Summer" up in the corner! Would be great to use to list out your Summer Bucket list!

Alright, well I hope you enjoyed part 3 of our "Sweet!" reveal! Yaaaay! I love this collection/kit and I cannot wait to start playing with it! It is just so perfect for Summertime...but also for any bright, happy time, really! Now, I must go and find me some ice-cream...and a unicorn...excuse me... :-) Oh, and remember to live your life as a fairytale and stay tuned for the post that shows the "Sweet!" collection/kit in its entirety with all the fairytale inspiration revealed too! See you later!

July's "Sweet!" Kit Reveal: Part 2 (12x12 Paper)

Hello there everyone! Today we want to share with you the next look at our upcoming “Sweet!” collection! This is the second part of our reveal, and it is a look at the beautiful, fun and vibrant 12x12 patterned papers within our July kit!

I really love the color-scheme for “Sweet!”! I think the best way to describe the color-scheme may be “rainbow-y”! Yes, the colors for this collection are like a beautiful rainbow! In this collection, you get light and also bright pinks and watermelon-red and awesome teals and bright blue and some fun peachy colors...oh, and some fun in the sun yellow too! I really wanted this collection to evoke a bright and playful, happy summertime feeling and I think the variety of bright and vibrant colors in “Sweet!” really helps to do that! 

The color-scheme isn't the only thing bringing the summertime joy in “Sweet!”, there are so many cute and happy patterns that just work perfectly for documenting your summertime adventures! Whether those adventures are at the beach, by the pool, in the park (like maybe a Disney park perhaps :-) )...or hanging out at home, or shopping at the mall, or at a fair, or a concert, or a candy store, or wherever really! It is just a great collection to celebrate all the fun summer things that you like to do! 

I think the collection is so perfectly named given all the fabulous “sweets” that you can find throughout “Sweet!”! For example, there is the ice-creams and popsicles patterned paper, the pink lollipop patterned paper, and the paper called “Bubble Gum, Cherry Pop, Let's Go to the Hop” which has a mix of different sweets on it (like cotton candy, heart candies, ice-cream, lollipops, popsicles and also words like “yum” and “super sweet”)! 

Oh and how cute are the sweet pieces that you can find on the cut-apart sheets?! I love that 4x6 ice-cream card and the cut-apart piece with the cotton-candy girl on it...she has a bow...how sweet is that?!!

Talking about the cut-apart sheets, I am loving the ones that we have this month! I think the Rainbow Unicorn card is my favorite for sure!!! I am also really digging that film-strip of pop-art girl's faces with the heart sunglasses that say “xo,xo” on them! So cool!

I think you are going to love the watercolor patterned papers that we have for this kit! I think the rainbow one is gorgeous! I also really love the paper titled “Summer's On” which has that cool painted pattern on it that kinda looks like sprinkles or confetti or something...so adorable!

Let's talk about some of the super versatile patterns that we have this month, shall we? I think the ledger is definitely a favorite! I mean, who doesn't love a good ledger paper?! It is such a great staple patterned paper that can really work for so many stories! I think it would be so perfect to journal about your summertime adventures! It would be really awesome to make a Summer Bucket-list on that too and then you could list out what you want to do on the ledger and put pics next to each item on the list to document all your summer fun! 

Oh, and there are so many awesome and really versatile patterns that are just super duper cute and graphic patterns that you can use for anything! I love the pink on pink chevron pattern, the red and pink triangle pattern, the cute polka dot patterns that come in the collection, the green diamond pattern, and the really cool blue scallop pattern called “Be Yourself” that kinda looks like little blue and pink rainbows that are just repeated like scallops or scales across the page! Those last two patterns have a really fab “morrocan” kind of vibe (think Agrabah...hint, hint, wink, wink), don't they?!

Definitely another favorite pattern of mine in the collection is the one titled “I heart unicorns” which has lovely unicorn cameo silhouettes repeated across it! So magical and lovely! I really do heart unicorns!!! Don't you?!

Another really fun pattern in the collection that I am excited to work with is the “Cool like Me” pattern with the sunglasses on it. It is just so perfect for summertime! And on the back of that one there is a really teal cute bow patterned paper that is so cute too!

I decided to do a fun bird pattern too that has a bit of a tropical vibe and a little bit of a "love bird" feel to it too!

And there are definitely some patterns in “Sweet!” that are giving off some really great vintage vibe, like the retro style, beach-ball looking pattern that is called “Surf, Sun, Sand”. It is such a bright and vibrant pattern with its multi-colored circles...so cute!

Talking about vibrant and colorfol patterns...there are certainly a lot in this collection! One of my faves is the one titled “Sweet!” like the collection name itself, which has the rainbow watercolor on one side, and on the other there is a really cool and also colorful script pattern that is a kind of love-letter to summer itself! This is absolutely one of my favorites! I really enjoy the underlined and circled words and phrases, in the varying colors of the collection, that just really make the pattern and the sentiment of the letter POP off the page!!!

Alright, well, I hope you have enjoyed this look at the patterned papers within the “Sweet!” collection! These patterns are making me so happy and excited for summertime adventures right now and they are so cute and sweet...I think I may be developing a sweet-tooth...oh, wait, I already have one...which explains the oreo in my hand...hahahahaha! Ok, hope you enjoyed part 2 of our “Sweet!” reveal, stay tuned for part 3 where we show you the fabulous planner dividers...and then the wrap up of the reveal which will go over everything in the collection including the reveal of all the fairytale inspiration that went into the making of “Sweet!” Ok, byeeeeee!!!!

July's "Sweet!" Kit Reveal: Part 1 (Embellishments)

Hello all! So we are going to try something new this time around and break the upcoming Kit Reveal into sections (embellishments, 12x12 paper, planner dividers)...with several posts over the course of this week and with one long "full" reveal at the end! Yaaay!!! So here we go with part 1 of our new July "Sweet!" collection/kit -- the embellishments...

I am so super excited about this new "Sweet!" collection! It is a collection inspired by several different fairytales (which I will reveal in our last kit reveal post), which is what we do with all our kits. And as with all our kits, there is a major theme that can be found in all of the inspirational fairytales, as well as several smaller themes. So this month, the big theme is to sum up "I am me, and that's ok"...and it is basically about being yourself, and accepting and being happy with who you are...because who you are is in a word pretty "Sweet!'! There are lots of cute little themes though that can be found throughout the collection too -- like summertime, music, rainbows, believing,  and of course, yummy edible sweeeeeeets!

The embellishments for "Sweet!" are so adorable and include some of my favorite pieces. For one thing, I am loving the ephemera pack for July and specifically the happiness of the bright, rainbow colors, the great cheerful and inspirational sentiments, and of course, the awesome unicorn!!! It's a rainbow unicorn to be exact...and she is amazing!!!!

I think it is really cool that we have elements in the collection that relate to song and music this month, I think music has become an integral part of fairytales in modern culture. Music is also just so essential to us as people and will always be an important aspect of our daily lives. We express ourselves through music and songs themselves are a form of fairytale -- as they each tell a story. I really like the little, vintage record player that you can find in the ephemera pack...it just makes me happy! I also think that the music theme is perfect for summer -- I don't know why, but when it's summertime, I just feel like music is constantly playing!

I am also really digging the ice-creams, popsicles, and other sweet treats in the kit. I also feel like sweets are consumed a lot during this time of year...but maybe its just me who's sweet tooth gets really strong in the summer sunshine!! LOL!!!! And even though it is really simple, I am also really digging the yellow notebook paper ephemera piece...it's a great little bit to do some journaling on for your planner, layout, mini album, card, etc.

So the ephemera is fantastic to say the least, I mean I just mentioned a few of my fave things in the pack...but let's move on now to another awesome embellishment for this month -- the puffy alpha stickers. I think the coolest thing about these alpha stickers is that you get the awesome font in two different, bright and fun summertime colors -- fabulous pink and brilliant blue! So cool, right?!! I don't know about you, but I am excited to use them separately but also mix them together so that I can have a single word that is like "pink, blue, pink, blue...". It makes for a great look on your papercrafting project. Yay!!!

Alright, now let's take a look at the gorgeous wood veneer, gold foiled, colored heart embellies that come in the July kit. I myself, love a good heart! I have always loved hearts and I find them particularly useful when working on basically any and all papercrafting projects. They are great for layouts, planner decorating, mini-albums, cards, home-decor pieces...and they just go with any theme you can possibly think of! I know I am going to use all of these up asap! I am loving the ice-cream colors -- the peach and the pink and the blue and the mint! And with the gold foil?!!! They feel like ice-cream cones that I want to eat...in other words they are so yummy!

And last but not least, for our "Sweet" embellishments, is our label/tiny word sticker sheet. We like to do these each month because they are just so useful. And in addition to being great for different themed projects, they work for all types of papercrafters. Our planner girls love them, our traditional scrappers love them, and our mini-album and project lifers find them especially useful for their pocket-pages! The label stickers are super cute as always and perfect to add some writing or to stamp on! I think you are going to love these ones as we have added gold foiling touches to all of them and they are all in bright, fun colors! I also think you are going to love the words and phrases that we did this month! There are stickers that say "vacation", "road trip", "sunny" and "swim" that are perfect for summer. There are also lots of words and phrases that are perfect for any time of year and any theme, like "always remember", "togetherness", "so fun", and "dreaming". And we have some really great ones this month that are reflective on emotion and our reality -- which is not always perfect -- but that are also really helpful, inspirational, and supportive! These include words and phrases like "sadness", "happiness", "life is strange", "shake it off", "be positive", "imperfect", "worth it" and "one of a kind". All of these are part of our over-arching theme in the "Sweet" collection which, as I said, is about being yourself, and being ok with yourself! 

Alright, that is it for our embellishments for July's "Sweet!". I think this new July collection/kit is my favorite...although I say that about all of them!!! I just am digging it all! I especially love the color scheme and the feel of the collection. These colors are just perfect for summer 2017 and the collection as a whole expresses a kind of ice-creams by the beach, listening to great music, happy with who you are, rainbow and blue skies...while you hang with a unicorn...kind of vibe! Lol! Alright, I hope you enjoyed this first part of our July Kit reveal and I will see you again very soon, with more from "Sweet!" Have a fun weekend, and remember to "life your life as a fairytale"!!!
