Brimbles Sticker Club, August 2017!

I'm back with my August Brimbles Sticker Club! 

This month's theme was 'Cats in Bloom' which is a pretty unique theme, but Anna has pulled it off really well. I'm loving the pastel pink & turquoise combination!

There's a mixture of Anna's characters (this time they are cats). Then there's some planner themed stickers, some beautiful watercolour florals, and some alphabet stickers! I love the contrast between the delicate watercolours and the black and white sharpness of the cats. 

This is the 'planner' style sticker sheet, but like I always say, they are more versatile than you might think. You can definitely use them in journaling, or scrapbooking. The tick box page flags are great if you are documenting lists, or just using as they are as decorative page flags with dots on. You shouldn't always take a craft supply as it comes.

Here are Anna's adorable cats! I love that she uses as much of the spare space on the sheet as possible when she creates these stickers. Who's going to say no to more stickers?! Plus having varying sizes definitely comes in handy. I think my favourite little cat is the one with a heart on it's tum.

Alphabet stickers! YES PLEASE! I love me some alphabet stickers. I love than Anna has decided to go with three different colours on this sheet! So you can completely mix and match with them. Also the numbers are going to come in so handy, the fact that they go up to 30 instead of just being 0-9 is great!

Then the last sheet is this one! Watercolour heaven! How pretty are these designs,?! I'm loving the little hearts filling in some of the gaps on the sheet. Also those little paint streaks will be great for banners at the top of a page, or layering together with some washi on the corner of a photo. I like that they aren't just straight too, it's something a little different.

So that's the August Brimbles Sticker Club pack! If you want to subscribe, you can do so here.

Fruity Journaling, Mrs Brimbles Stickers! July 2017

I decided to use my July Brimbles Sticker Club pack in my journal, because I have a little pile of photo's I still need to get stuck into my journal. There were a couple of photos that seemed to fit really well with the theme of this sticker pack, so I went for those!

Before sticking anything down I decided to add some watercolour in the background, just to break it up a bit. Plus a few of the stickers I wanted to use had white backgrounds, so it'd help them stand out a bit. I popped the watercolour onto an acrylic stamping block, and then applied it to the page so it didn't have any brush strokes. This also meant I could create a nice dripping effect when I tilted the page!

I used some of the border strip stickers, and some of the boxes to go in the background. Then I just layered up some of the smaller decorative stickers on top of the photos. I left the red circle sticker blank as I will write the date into that when I add the journaling.

Instead of leaving the bottom of the page blank, I added a little cluster of stickers down there, just to balance to the two corners of the page. You can also see that the orange sticker is covering a staple that was showing through from the back of the page. I debated whether to actually take the staple out, but decided to just cover it and hope for the best haha. It's a bit lumpy, and kinda noticeable, but hey. it works for me, so I'm going to leave it like that!

I was going to leave the top left section of this page clear for writing, but I realised the black and white spotty box sticker would most likely make the writing blend in a bit too much. So I grabbed a few of the arrow stickers and popped them in the gap instead. I'll still add some writing to the yellow water coloured section, but hopefully the arrows will help to make it look less like there's something missing from there.

I love the colours of this sticker collection, and I don't think I could have used any better stickers to document these photos. They seem to reflect the mood of that day out just perfectly!

I still have lots of stickers left over from these sheets, so I will most likely use them in future journaling spreads! I might even try using some in my planner too.

Brimbles Sticker Club, July 2017!

What's this?! Something new from the lovely Mrs Brimbles!

I'm so excited for this, since the Brimbles boxes have come to an end, how do we fill that Brimbles shaped hole in our month? With stickers of course! 

Anna had a sticker club before, but now she has got herself a super snazzy silhouette machine, so she has upped her sticker game! This is the Juicy Frootz collection, there's four sheets in the pack and as you can guess they are all themed around fruit. You have a sheet of decorative fruit characters, one with planner checklists, arrows and other shapes, one with washi strips, and then one with full boxes and half boxes! So a really nice variety of stickers. 

I will be using these in my next journaling spread, so I'll go more in depth on each sheet then. For now I just wanted to share a kind of 'package opening'/overview of what you get in the pack!

The price of this subscription is just £10 per month + P&P! So it's cheaper than the Brimbles box, and you still get lots of Brimbles exclusive designs. It's a surprise pack so you don't get to know what's in each pack, but Anna does share sneak peaks on her Instagram & in the Mrs Brimbles Happy Place Facebook group!

If you want to subscribe, you can click here.

You can also check out the rest of Anna's shop here.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to sharing how I end up using these beauties!!
