Enjoy The Little Things | My Creative Scrapbook

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

Today I'm sharing a layout for My Creative Scrapbook using the gorgeous April main kit! I'm seriously loving everything in this gorgeous kit, especially the beautiful color patterned papers! 

  

I used a grid design to document a couple of photos of my son enjoying and having fun with some watermelon:))))

I started by creating multiple layers of patterned paper behind each of my grids, as well as adding some machine stitching and then adhered to some white cardstock. Next, I trim 3/4 inch off each side of the white cardstock.  I then matted the layout using the reverse side of the From Me To You pattern paper, and also tucked a couple pieces of the larger black and white polka dots paper underneath on an angle for some added interest. 

   

Here's a couple of close-ups....

I finished the layout with a variety of embellishments including ephemera pieces, 3D stickers and a few die cuts.

Thanks for stopping by :) xx

Happy Springtime | My Creative Scrapbook - April Tutorial

Hello My Creative Scrapbook fans!  Yvette here, and today I am sharing a layout that all about fussy cutting. Fussy cutting is such a fun and relaxing technique, especially when you get to play with gorgeous florals and patterns like the ones in this month's main kit! 

   

I started by gathering my suppliers. 

The beautiful floral design on the Backyard Blooms and the Hello Spring patterned papers were perfect for this page. I had an idea to create two large clusters of flowers and started by fussy cutting all of floral images....always look for elements in your patterned papers that can be fussy cut to use as embellishments on your page.    

      

 Next, I cut my 5x7 photo into 1/2 inch strips. I then created a 10x10 base with some white cardstock and arrange the photo strips so as to fit inside the center and added some machine stitching around the edges.    

I then matted the layout onto the wood panels patterned paper and love the contrast between the white and brown.  At this point I knew I wanted to incorporate some of the pink in the photo and did this by adding a piece of pink cardstock between the layout and the wood panels base.  I also added a couple strips of patterned paper across the bottom of the page which allowed me to balance the pink from the cardstock.                        

I created two clusters using the fussy cut flowers in opposite corners of the page, along with a few phases from the Simple Stories cardstock stickers and a die-cut from the Patio Party collection ephemera pack.

 
Here's a couple of close-ups....

I finished the layout off  by adding a few more fussy cut Dragonflies! 

I hope I inspired you to go ahead and fussy cut some of the gorgeous patterned papers included in this month's kits and if you're not a subscriber as yet, give it a try.  All the kits are so beautiful, you will not regret it!!!

You Are My Sunshine | My Creative Scrapbook

Hi Scrapping Friends!!!

  Today I'm sharing layout for My Creative Scrapbook using the gorgeous April main kit as well as this month's Cut files! 

Here's the April cut files...

I used both the bicycle and fence image from this month's free cut file to document a photo of my son riding around in a circle on his tricycle. I started by resized the fence to fit across the middle of the page and cut it out of the beautiful blue and white check pattern paper from Simple Stories-Welcome Spring collection.  Next, I resized the bike so it can fit in the lower section of my layout and cut if from some black cardstock.  Back the wheels with some hand painted white cardstock and added some hand stitching around the edges of the bicycle wheels.

 
I fussy cut some of the flowers from one of the patterned papers and add them to the right and left of the bicycle. I also added a couple of stickers from the Welcome Spring collection to the top of the bicycle basket.

I cover the top half of the page with the Hello Spring patterned paper from the Welcome Spring collection. I absolutely love all those gorgeous flowers with so many vibrant colors on this paper.
   

I created a cluster on the right hand side of the photo using some stickers, a cut away note card (as my title) and a die-cut doily.  I also added a few die-cut tags underneath the top of the photo.

I hope you felt inspired today and if you're not a subscriber yet, give it a try. The kits are all so beautiful and you will not regret it!!!!

My Creative Scrapbook | Grow Through Life | April Tutorial

Hi Scrapping Friends!

Today I'm going to share with you how quickly and easily this layout came together using the April Main Kit!  

I started with a 12x12 black cardstock for my base.

      

       I was inspired by the cute cameras on the Little By Little collection by Shimelle and it teamed up perfectly with the small heart design pattern paper from the Oh My Heart collection by Pink Paislee.  

For my first layer I cut the 12x12 patterned paper on a diagonal, which created a triangle and then adhered to my cardstock.

   For my second layer I added a smallest triangle to the top and off the sides, added another to the lower right corner and then machine stitched around the perimeter.

  

From this point on I started adding my embellishments...I adhered my photo with some foam tape underneath to give it some extra dimension.

I created a small cluster on the right side of my photo using a couple pieces of chipboard from the Lovely Day collection, along with a tag and the die cut word joy from the Creative Embellishments set.  

  

   

  To the top of my photo I added another one of the die cut word dream which also came in the  Creative Embellishments set and to the bottom left corner of my photo I created another small cluster using a couple pieces of chipboards.            

   I used the grow through life phase with a flower from the Pink Paislee-Oh My Heart ephemera pack to create my title and I finished my layout off by adding a few white enamel dots!  

Thanks for stopping by :) xoxo Yvette

My Creative Scrapbook | Love Today | April Main Kit

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

Today I'm back to share another layout for My Creative Scrapbook using the April Main Kit!

I wanted to document this adorable photo of my son's first visited to Central Park! I started by selection paper 05 from the Oh My Heart collection and Seek the Moment from the Little by Little collection, and randomly cut the pattern papers at different angles to created my background design.

Here's a few close-ups...

I added the frame from the Oh My Heart-Ephemera pack onto my photo and loved how it didn't completely covered it.  I created a cluster to the left of my photo using a couple of die cut flowers and hearts from the Oh My Heart ephemera pack.

I used both a star and small circle paper puncher to create a few embellishments that resembles buttons.  I place the circles onto the stars and made a couple of holds and adhered together with some floss, I then added some foam tape underneath to give it some extra dimension.

      
To create my title I used a couple of chipboard words from the Lovely Day/phases collection by Dear Lizzy and tucked a die cut flower from the ephemera pack underneath.

   A few journaling strips and enamel dots finish off my layout.

          I hope I inspired you to create something beautiful ....

My Creative Scrapbook | Choose Crazy | April Main Kit

Hi Scrapping Friends!

Today I'm back to share another layout I created for My Creative Scrapbook  using the beautiful April Main Kit.

For this layout I decided to use one of the exclusive cut file provided for our customer each month. I started by cutting the background cut file from some white cardstock and backed it with the beautiful phrase pattern paper (paper 09) from the Oh My Heart collection and then machine stitched around the perimeter.

   

I created lots of layers behind my photo using several patterned papers from the April main kit. I then added some fussy cut flowers, along with a couple of ephemera pieces from the Oh My Heart collection to the left side of my photo. 

I added my title to the top right hand side of my photo, using one of the chipboard phrase from the Dear Lizzy-Lovely Day collection. I then created an outline from pattern paper to back the chipboard and add form dots underneath to give it some extra dimension.        

 I created a small cluster to the bottom lower right of my page by combining machine stitching, this adorable die cut fox, a few flowers that I fussy cut and some enamel dots.            

You can also see here that I tucked a couple of ephemera pieces underneath my photo.

I cut a circle from some pattern paper and started playing around by cutting strips off; the photo below show the end results which I then incorporate into my design.

     

   

A few paint splashes and enamel dots finish off my layout.

          I hope I inspired you to create something beautiful ....

My Creative Scrapbook | You're So Cool I'm Not Even Mad!

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

Today I'm back with you to share my first layout for My Creative Scrapbook using the gorgeous April main kit. 

I love going through older photos of my son. In these photos, I came back into the kitchen to find Max and the floor covered with powdered sugar :)))) I grab the camera, and took a few pictures before cleaning up!  

      

I started my layout off  by using one of the patterned paper from Pink Paislee-Oh My Heart collection (paper18) for my background. Next I added the orange pattern paper (paper05), which I cut into a diamond shape and adhered with machine stitching. 

   

I matted my photos on white cardstock and added foam tape underneath to give it some extra dimension.  To the bottom photo I added a cascading of fussy cut flowers using the Oh My Heart (paper06) and also added one of the flower from the ephemera pack to finish off this cluster.

         

Here you can see I continue to add a few more fussy cut flowers to the top and right side of my photos and tucked that adorable die cut piece from the ephemera set underneath the left side of my top photo. I really love all the beautiful bit and pieces that came in the Oh My Heart ephemera pack; great for adding layers to your projects.

             

How cute is this clipboard from the Dear Lizzy-Lovely Day collection, I couldn't resist using it as my title.

         I hope I inspired you to create something beautiful ....
