Scrapbook Circle Paradise Cove kit

Hey there!  I am sharing one final project for the Scrapbook Circle September kit using the ‘Paradise Cove’ Exclusive Bundle.

I documented my process with a video you can see HERE or click on the video below!

After using the kit for a Summer edition Traveler’s Notebook, I decided to use the remaining kit for a traditional scrapbook layout.  I decided to use a grid with the square cut apart pieces in the kit that were either just graphics, or phrases.

After laying out a design using a couple square Instagram pics I printed out, I added lots of the embellishments included int he kit to add interest and texture.

I used one of the cut apart quotes from Helen Keller which I though was perfect for pictures of these crazy kiddos!

I added some of the Washi Tape, Puffy Stickers, Corner Embellishments and Ephemera Stickers for interest to each grid piece.

Finishing with a few paint splatters in coordinating colors, this layout was done!

Jot It Down - Scrapbook Circle February

Delayed, but I wanted to share the '1 Product 2 Ways' post because of this amazing layout below!  This week’s assignment was to use the Shimelle ‘Little By Little’ Wood Buttons from the February “So This Happened” kit.

I have been wanting to go to CHA, i.e. Creativation for years and finally, last month I got to go!  Not only, did I get to meet some of my scrapbooking idols like Heidi Swapp and Amy Tan, but I got to put real life voices and personalities to these amazing talents from Scrapbook Circle!  That was the highlight of the weekend and this photo was from the Saturday.

I decided to make this project a play on the graphic patterns in the papers and embellishments.  I layered papers and stickers, creating associations between the angles and colors.  I used the buttons as bullet points for other stickers.  I also combined them under matching colors creating clusters following the diagonal half of the patterned paper I cut.

I loved this kit, it is full of some of my favorites colors and classic patterns that never go out of style!
Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great week!

sunshine & HAPPINESS - Scrapbook Circle/JUST NICK Team UP

Happy last day of March everyone!  This month we teamed up with ‘Just Nick Studio’ for a week of inspiration featuring the digital cut files combined with the March kit “Happy Place.”  I was very excited to be a participant in this collaboration! You can check out the digital files I used and others clicking below.

The majority of my photos are Instagram pics, so I gravitate towards square format cut files and graphics.  I chose these two, frame in frame cut files and one for a title.  I die cut the frames out of patterned papers in navy and green.  I die cut my title out of watercolor paper, knowing I wanted to paint something matching the sunrise.

With the idea of painting the title and the divisions of the Instagram photo I created in a Pic App, I painted loose stripes of watercolors across the white cardstock.  I layered the die cut pieces over the paint stripes and added stickers, washi and embellishments from the kit, color blocking down the page.

I can’t seem to get enough of this technique lately.  I love the variety in hue and the layering that shows the different and contrasting tones of color.  I tried to step down the colors and shapes from top left to bottom right, ending with the title, appropriate for a sunrise!

Have an amazing day!
