Made my Day - eP Kit of the Month

Good mooring eP fans, Mary-Ann here, sharing a layout created with July's KOTM.  We are having so much fun gathering together in Exeter, NH and sharing creations with new friends via Facebook.  There is some really inspiring work being created.  You should drop by the eP KOTM FB page and click LIKE it!  We would love to have you as a fan.  

Were only have a couple spots open so go and see if it is good fit for you.....  HERE!!!  

Don't panic when you see $75 that is for a three month subscription of $25 each.  

So here it is below.

Below are a few different angles of the page.  I loved this Project Life card that was included in the kit.  I just can't remember what it said at the top, so I covered it with my own sentiment.

This was a super fun layout to create.  I have also created several others.  Those will be on the eP KOTM Facebook page.  Head over and check them out.

See you next time.

eKit - Kit of the month layouts

Howdy, Mary-Ann here with you today to share another layout or two, that I created using this months eKit - Kit of the Month.  I am super excited to say that one of the layouts also fits within the stenciling challenge - May ePlay Challenge sponsored by Erin!  Nothing like killing two birds with one stone:o)

Here is a reminder on what this months kit club looks like.  Remember folks, you don't have to be local to participate, we will mail it straight to you!

Lets get started with my first layout.  

It all started with a MME graph that I had on hand.  I wanted to replicate the circle graph idea but it was a tad too small.  I threw it in my copier and enlarged it a bit.

I cut the pie pieces and numbered them.

Attached them with temporary adhesive to the patterned paper included in the kit.  Also included in the kit was this Heidi Swapp arrow die cut that works perfectly as one of my graph pieces.  Setting this aside, I started on my cardstock base.

This is my first time ever using this Gel Medium and I am going to tell you right now, it will NOT  be my last.  I love how this dries and gives everything a clear texture.  For those of you "dirty" girls out there, I know this all seems elementary, but I do LOVE it and I am excited!

Once the AMAZING gel was dry, I used the negative to the graph to lightly draw where I wanted my circle to be so I wasn't wasting my time on places that would not show.  

Then I started adding some ink stenciling.

Here you can see the different layers of stenciling done with, Gel Medium, white paint and black ink.  I also created droplets with Dylusions and Tim Holtz Brushed Pewter paint.  I colored all of the Heidi Swapp die cuts with Dylusions to soften the white and to tie in my black and gray color scheme.

This is my completed layout.  In addition to the Kit Club product, I added my own labels and used my own inks.  Other than that, it is all included!

For my next layout, I used mostly the blacks and grays that were left in my monthly kit. 

The only additional items on this layout were the flair, tag, twine, stapler and inks.  I did color all of the Heidi Swapp dies with a gray Dylusions ink.  

Head over to the Classroom section and sign up for the club today.
