I was super excited to get the Moment in Time kit! It has my favorite color combos and the Kaisercraft paper is PERFECT! I dug right in!

"Adventure Awaits" Layout

This cute boy in the picture is my sweet, sweet Elijah. This page is made using only products from the MAIN KIT. I did use some dies and my own media. I have a complete step-by-step tutorial with TONS of pictures on the new Swirlydoos Snapguide account. You can view the tutorial HERE. 

"Remember" Layout

This is my take on the monthly sketch. 

 This pictures are of my gal, Audra. It was school picture day, and she wasn't getting hers done until the end of the day, so I thought I would snap some pics of those lovely locks in case the curls didn't hold that long. :)

I tucked some border punch strips in between some of the layers. I also used an older Prima stencil and some white embossing paste under the design, then added some stamping. It's not my normal style, but I thought I would try it out. I added some of the bling along the edging of the stencil and over the stamping. 

The black vine is a die cut from a Kaisercraft die that I bought from the Swirlydoos store some time ago. Any vine die or chipboard from your stash would do the job. The title is also a piece of chipboard from my stash, but you could easily make your own title from alphas or other chipboard you have on hand. 

"This Special Moment" Layout

HOLY LAYERS! I kind of went nuts with the layers on this layout! This is actually going to go in a frame and hang on the wall. Blue and brown are my home decor colors, so I'm picking and making layouts to go up on the wall. I knew I would have a ton of extra space for this one, so I just popped every layer for a lot of dimension. 

I used the collectible gear die cuts in between the layers, and some metal gears from my stash. I also used a new brick stencil and some black embossing paste I had on hand to create this look. Any brick stamp or stencil would work to get the same effect. 

I broke up the Prima metal piece that came in the embellishment add on and added them to the flower cluster. I created a patina look by adding some Silks paints in green, blue, and gold. I also used this same techinque on all of the metal. 

"A Moment in Time" Altered Clock

This is my clock that I made using this month's project add on kit. I'll be sharing my process video on how I created this on Saturday, October 3rd, on the Swirlydoos YouTube channel, so be sure to check it out!
