Hey everyone, welcome back!
Today's post is the first in a new monthly series where I will be showing you the contents of my Like Forever kit.
The Like Forever kit is a monthly scrapbook subscription kit. Each month is a different theme and a different scrapbook collection. Like Forever is a UK based kit and I am so excited to be subscribed to it!
More details can be found on www.likeforever.co.uk
Julys kit is called 'Dream Big' and features Pinkfresh Studios 'Happy Things collection as well as a couple of items from different collections.
Here's what I received in my kit:
Wood Veneer Stickers
These wood veneer stickers are beautiful. I love the patterns on them and that they can be used as they are or even coloured in. They are a fab size...not too big but not to small and are a lovely thick quality.
Alpha Sticker Sheets
You can never have to many alphabet stickers! The font on these is gorgeous and you get 5 sheets in the pack: green, baby blue, mustard, baby pink and a raspberry pink. Each sheet has 109 stickers on it and there are plenty of each letter. There's nothing worse than using alphabet stickers to then realise that you don't have enough of a letter.
Acetate Die Cuts
These are really interesting, I've never seen anything like them before. There are 20 different patterned acetate triangles in the pack and there are a lot of pattern variations, from words, to stripes to leaves. I'm looking forward to using these on a layout but I need to do a bit of research into what to stick them down with.
Flairs
I posted about flairs a couple of weeks ago and how I had never used them before and now I have some more to add to my collection. The patterns on these are lovely and I think the orange one will look great on an autumn layout.
Glitter Foam Stickers
These are definitely a show stopper of an item, they're huge! They're so thick and are covered in a beautiful black glitter. The glitter feels like it's stuck down really well so no chance of it falling off. I really can't think of how to use these in a layout due to their size so any suggestions would be great :)
Cardstock
Four sheets of lovely thick cardstock. I actually don't have any cardstock so this is a welcome addition to my scrap booking stash.
Crate Paper Oh Darling Vellum
This vellum is so pretty. I love using polka dots in my layouts so I will definitely make good use of this! It's great quality and not too transparent, so it will layer nicely.
Doodle Borders/Bow Ties Paper
I know which side of this I'm going to use already. Those doodle borders are awesome, I can't wait to get my felt tips out and start colouring it in!
Happy Words/Rustic Pattern Paper
The little cut out happy words cards are adorable and I will for sure be using that side of this paper. I like the pattern on the other side but I'm not so keen on the darker colours in it.
Botanicals/Sparkle Paper
The sparkle side of this paper is to die for and I'm already thinking of potential uses for it, the botanicals side is pretty but not something I can imagine myself using.
Balloon/Semi Circle Paper
The balloons side of this paper is absolutely perfect for a layout celebrating my daughters first birthday. I really love the other side too and I'm starting to wish that I ordered another sheet of this paper as an add on.
Ombre' Mosaic/Confetti Circle Paper
The mosaic side of this paper is a stunning and the colours are so bright. I really like the confetti circle design but I can see myself struggling with this a little as there's not really much space to put my own mark onto this paper.
Rustic Triangles/Triangle Pattern Paper
The rustic triangles side of this paper is not me at all, but that triangle pattern...oh my! Its so busy but so vibrant! I'm going to have to think really hard for a use for this paper.
Dream Big/Geo Shapes Paper
Another 'ready made' page with the dream big side of this paper. I think I may end up using the geo shapes side as it will look lovely with some nice big lettering running straight through that cluster of shapes in the middle.
Well that's everything I got in this months Like For Ever kit. I really enjoyed receiving this and excitedly looking through all the contents, I can't wait for next months box!
Thanks for reading and have a great day,
Charl x
