Hello Everyone, it's Piroska here today with my latest post for Clique International. For our 10th anniversary we went on a holiday to the Danube bend. This is a curve of the river Danube in North-Hungary, on the left side of the river there are the Transdanubian mountains, and on the right the North Hungarian mountains. The river and the mountains are a popular travel destination, the view is beautiful, especially from the Visegrad Castle Hill, where our picture was taken.

For my layout I first chose a cut file of CUT to YOU. The whole holiday to Visegrad  was so amazing, I enjoyed our stay in the hotel, and the view from our room to the Danube bend very much. So I thought, the All The Goodness of Today cut file of CUT to YOU is a perfect title cut file for my Let's Go! layout.

I used the Sunkissed Sampler Kit of Cocoa Vanilla Studio for my layout. First I backed the cut file with the Summer Lights, Good Vibrations and Bright Side patterned papers.
Then I coloured the word goodness in the cut file with Catherine Pooler ink pads, I used the colours Limoncello, Sauna und Catching Rays.

Then I cut down a 1" stripe from a white cardstock, and glued a 1" patterned paper stripe on both sides from the Good Vibrations paper. I really love the bright colours of the Sunkissed Sampler Kit!

I glued down the cut file and my photo and started to embellish the layout. Therefor I fussy cut some flowers from the Growing Wild patterned paper of the Sunkissed Sampler Kit of Cocoa Vanilla Studio. They are beautiful, and make every layout easy to decorate with!

I added my journalling, and was ready. This post was my last for Clique International, so I'd like to thank all of you for all your likes, comments and kind words. I hope you liked my inspirations here and do follow me on socials, if you'd like to, it would make me happy. :-)
I also want to thank to the Design Team for their love and kindness, for the always inspiring ideas. I am so grateful for the new friendships I made through this team. I hope we are going to stay in touch!<3
And for last but not least, I would like to say a big thank you to Gia Lau, who invited me to this Design Team 1.5 years ago, which is still a little wonder to me. I am so grateful that you've believed in me, and gave me the chance to get known internationally. I'll never forget my months here, your generous gifts and love. Thank you. <3

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a layout that I created using a photo that my child's tour guide took during a school trip to Alaska a couple months ago. I wish I could have seen this stunning view in person! The Fancy Pants Designs Lake Life Sampler Kit was just what I needed to document this shot taken in Denali National Park. The Fancy Pants What A View patterned paper was the perfect backdrop for my photo, which I think fit right into the center of the page.
​

Can we talk about how amazing this paper is?! This patterned paper has the look of a paint-by-number canvas, but is completely smooth. I didn't want to cover up too much of the amazing print, so I decided to add most of the embellishments to the corner of the photo. I used rub-ons and chipboard from the 49 and Market Map of the Forest Limited Edition Kit.
​

I added another chipboard sticker from the Map of the Forest Kit for a pop of color. The chipboard sticker pack offers a fantastic selection of colorful and neutral designs in nature and forest motifs.
​

The bottom portion of the base patterned paper had a wooden dock in the design that didn't go with my photo. I covered up that design element with a piece of paper cut from the Les Ateliers de Karine O Bois Fleuri Patterned Paper. The greens are a great match to this Fancy Pants collection. 

I created a large title for this layout using a piece of patterned paper from the Memory Place Map It Out Limited Edition Kit and the Travel Digital Die Cut.  I created this title WITHOUT an electronic die-cutting machine.  I used a word processing program to print the file and then traced the letters onto patterned paper using carbon paper. The letters are large enough to easily cut by hand with a pair of scissors. I applied Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide Ink, from the Clique Chromatics Forest Distress Oxide Set, to the letters to help them stand out from the background.
​

I added a small journaling die-cut to the bottom of the page to record the location and date.

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a travel layout that features some of the breathtaking photos from a friend's Summer road trip through the Southwest United States. She visited several National Parks and the photos she shared along the way are absolutely stunning. I had a blast living vicariously through her! I'm definitely putting these places on my must-see list. Until I can go to these sites in person, I'm documenting them using the gorgeous Sedona Base Kit. The Sedona kit contains all 6 beautiful 12x12 double-sided patterned papers from Prima Marketing's new Golden Desert collection, many with gorgeous copper foil accents. This kit also contains 2 12x12 double-sided patterned papers from the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Wedgewood collection, which are the perfect shades of blue to complement the browns and pinks in this kit.
​

I cut two States from patterned paper, Utah and Colorado, and used them for the base of the title spot. I used the two state shapes as maps to show where the three National Parks visited on this portion of the road trip are located. I printed the locations on the pale blue 49 and Market patterned paper and used Prima copper foil die-cuts as place markers. I cut thin strips of dark blue 49 and Market patterned paper to connect the National Park locations with the corresponding photos on this layout.
​

The foam stickers, die-cuts, and wood embellishments from the kit were a great way to embellish the photos without distracting from the beautiful scenery.
​

I embellished the top and bottom edges of the layout with simple patterned paper strips, foiled die-cuts, foam stickers, and Sparkletz gems, which are all included in the kit.
​

What a fantastic way to unplug from life for awhile! There are more than 400 National Parks in the United States available to everyone, every day. While some of the parks charge an entrance fee, fee-free days provide a great opportunity to visit a new place or an old favorite. I'm so ready for a road trip!

More about the parks highlighted in this layout:

Arches National Park is a national park in eastern Utah, United States. The park is adjacent to the Colorado River, 4 miles north of Moab, Utah. More than 2,000 natural sandstone arches are located in the park, including the well-known Delicate Arch, as well as a variety of unique geological resources and formations. The park contains the highest density of natural arches in the world.

Canyonlands National Park is an American national park located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. The park preserves a colorful landscape eroded into numerous canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries.

Mesa Verde National Park is an American national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Montezuma County, Colorado. The park protects some of the best-preserved Ancestral Puebloan archaeological sites in the United States.

Hello Everyone, it's Piroska here today with my latest layout for Clique International. After spending 3 months at home because of the pandemie, and not having the chance to spend an evening or a day just as a couple, I felt really grateful to be able to go away for 3 days with my husband this summer. We travelled to one of the wine-growing regions of Hungary, Tokaj-Hegyalja, which is in the North-Eastern part of the country. One day we visited Tarcal, which is famous of the biggest Jesus statue in Hungary, The Jesus Blessing statue is on the top of  the hill, it is 8,5 m tall and made of 50 tonnes of granite. We took a nice walk up and enjoyed the view all the way up and at the feet of the statue.

For my layout I chose the Daydream Sampler Kit, which contains all the beautiful elements of the Daydream collection of Cocoa Vanilla Studio. For my background I chose the Daisy Days patterned paper and the Oh So Happy Title cut file of CUT to YOU. I cut it from white cardstock, and because I didn't want to use watercolours, I cut the "Oh So" words also from a darker patterned paper. This way the title stands out of the background.

I backed the letters and matted my photo with the 6x6 Paper Pad of the Daydream collection.

I fussy cut some flowers from the Garden Variety paper to complete the wreath. I also added some more floral cut outs.

I also added some phrasel and hearts stickers and heart cut outs, and cut out some tiny rainbows. I added some of them on foam adhesive to create dimension.

Finally I added a puffy heart and some sequins to complete the layout.

The Daydream Sampler Kit is so easy to work with! The beautiful colours are perfect for either fall or summer memories to document. Go to the Clique Interneational shop and grab yours! ;-)

Hello Everyone, it's Piroska here today with my latest layout for Clique International. It is best summertime here in Europe, we also enjoy our holiday right now. As it is highly recommended not to travel abroad, we have spent some time at one of our favourite places of Hungary, at the Lake Balaton. The Lake Balaton is the largest lake in Central Europe, and a favourite tourist destination. As Hungary doesn't have a coastline anymore, people like to call this lake the Hungarian Sea. The northern shore is surrounded by mountains, there are many wineyards there. The southern part is more flat, with some hills, and you can walk long into the water, so it is perfect for families with small kids. All water sports can be find here, there are also several sailing races here. And you can ride around the lake, such a tour means more than 200 km by bike.

The water is silky and green, all colours of green. We just love to bath or swim in it, but also just to sit on the shore and looking at the water. It has so many different colours, it is amazing! It is turqouise when the weather is calm (csendes), bright green if a storm is coming (vihat előtt), and greyish green if it is stormy (mérges). For my layout I collected such photos from our last trip there, in 2 weeks there was all kind of weather!;-P

I have used the Sweet Story 12x12 papers by Maggie Holmes /Crate Paper. For my background I used the B side of the Sprinkles paper, and I fussy cut some scallops from the A side of an other Sprinkles paper. I wanted to use 3 photos of the lake and 3 selfies, and having 6 3"x4" photos on a layout was new for me! I decided to do a grid design, having the six photos in 2 coloumns in the middle and on the right, and the title on the left side.

I cut my letters from the Taffy paper using the alphabet dies of Lora Bailora. I also cut the lettersfrom foam so that the letters have some dimension on the layout.

I also cut some floral elements from white cardstock and the Taffy paper using the Floral Bouquet Die of Lora Bailora and added them under the photos. I also added some cut outs from the Hey, Hello! icon ephemera pack of Pebbles. Finally I added some crystals to the layout.

I hope I could inspire you to use more photos on a layout - and visit the Lake Balaton once! You'll like it ;-)

Hello crafty friends! Rita here with a fun and easy 9x12'' layout today. For this project I used a kit which is unfortunately sold out already, but the main elements are still available. I will link them all. First I'd like to tell you a little bit about my layout and how it came together.

I love to include layouts in my 9x12'' in my Project Life album and mix it up with pocket page layouts. I had this black and white photo of my son and it was screaming for a full page layout and vibrant colors! Have you seen the "Happy Hello" paper by Pebbles? With the hedgehog paper it's included in the Pebbles "Hey Hello" Paper Pack Add-On Kit which you can find here.  I loved seeing them combined together. Also the hedgehog paper is perfect for kids layouts, don't you think? I machine stitched around the border two times so the papers would stay together and love that it looked a little messy afterwards. 

Then my favorite part started: fussy cutting. I love the "Dash of Daydream" paper by Jellybean Soup. And yay, it's still available! All the florals you see on the layout are cut out from this paper. I used yellow enamel dots and shapes by Altenew to embellish the blossoms. The yellow ones are sold out right now, but other colors are available here, here and here. The cool thing about the kits: they come with ink pads. And they are great quality! The bow I used is from the Maggie Holmes "Sunny Days" collection. I used a "Monday" circle from a die-cut pack by Pretty Little Studio which was included in the "Little Black Dress" Kit. 

I put the title on a piece of vellum and stapled it to the page. The Alpha Thickers and the vellum are both from Crate Paper's "Magical Forest" collection. 

I hope you feel a little inspired today to get crafty or even have a little look in the Clique Kits Shop. There are some real treasures waiting for you. Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello everyone!
​It's Isa today on the blog and I am very happy to be back here on The Clique blog with a new project. Today's topic of the project is Let's Go and I have prepared a layout using the Serendipia collection by Cocoloko scrap that you can find in the Serendipia kit on the link here. 

I wanted to make a layout with these pictures because they belong to a holiday I took with my sister, my aunt and my uncle to a small village in the region of Castellon, Valencia, Spain. It was back in 2013 and it was a great summer. I remember specially this trip because we were in a tiny village with only three named streets (YES THREE) and in the morning when I woke up and I opened my windows all I could see were the mountains and pure nature. They were the mountains that I am in in those pictures.  I really liked the peace and the beautiful landscapes that we enjoyed there. So it was worth making a beautiful layout with these beautiful pictures that my aunt took of me. 

To create the background of this layout, I used some pastel color gelatos from Faber Castell. I extended the pigmet with the help of a baby wipe (yes, believe it or not, they are VERY useful in scrapbooking techniques LOL). I cut with different dies in the shape of a circle the papers that I had left from the 12x12 stack of papers from Serendipia and I combined them with some flowers from the die cut set.

As a title of the layout I used the word Slow from the die cuts set also from Serendipia from Cocoloko. The word really suits the layout because I can promise all of you that those days were really slow life for me in the good sense. That peace and that environment is something that somebody needs at some point in life just to stop, breathe and think. I really recommend it, especially after the hard times that we are living worldwide. 

I add some tags on a corner of the layout with a little of journaling. It is something that I don't like adding on my projects, but I am really starting to realize that it is really necessary on layouts to remember good times. I add just some few words to remember where these pics come from. I hope you liked the layout and that you keep beautiful layouts of really beautiful memories. See you soon! Take care. Love. Isa
