My Creative Scrapbook-August projects

Hi My Creative Scrapbook fans! 

Here's this months projects, using the August main kit! 

A quick summary of the products found in this month's main kit.....patterned paper from Simple Stories 'Spring Farmhouse' collection as well as a few pieces from the 'Simple Vintage Traveler' collection. The 12x12 combo cardstock stickers, Bits and Pieces Ephemera pack, and the beautiful floral cardstock Bits and Pieces. Also included in the main kit, a pack of sequin, Sticko small wood grain alpha stickers, Jen Hadfield wood phase stickers and American Crafts Celebrate painted patterned chipboard thickers.

Here's my projects and a few close-ups...

On this page, I chose to start this layout off, by adding a bit of mix media background using Vicki Boutin's watercolor markers.  I then build some layers behind my photo with patterned paper, die cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack, a cut file and a few fussy cut pieces to build dimension. 

I created a cluster of embellishments in the top left corner using stickers and die cuts. I also added a banner of punch stars across the top of the page.   

Happy 57th....

For this layout, I added a few pieces of torn patterned papers at the bottom and top of the page. At the top of the page, I tucked a few die cut hearts in various sizes and pattern to create a bit more interest.

I matted the photo with a couple pieces of patterned paper and keep most of my embellishments to the bottom part of my photo.
   

Sweet....

I couldn't resist documenting these cute photos for my son goofing around, while eating some watermelon!

I love layering, so I combined patterned paper, fussy cutting, a few Bits & Pieces as well as some Die Cut stars, to create dimension and textured by simple grouping them into clusters.

My Creative Scrapbook | Happy Adventure | August Tutorial

Hi My Creative Scrapbook Fans! Today it's my turn to show you what I create using the Heidi Swapp stencil included in this month's main kit. 

Stencils give you the ability to work with many mediums and also it's a great way to customize your work, making it your own.

I started by placing the stencil on a diagonal and attach it onto a 12x12 white cardstock using washi tape.  

Next, I selected two Hero Arts Shadow inks keeping fairly close to the colors in the patterned paper and apply using a sponge dauber.      

I flip the stencil over and added my second color which created a beautiful basket weaving design. At this point you can choose to add another stencil such as a flourish, stars or maybe another background design, the possibilities are endless! 

         
I then cut the stencil design into a 9 1/2 x 7 ins. rectangle.    

Next, I used the reverse side of the awesome A View Of The World patterned paper as the background for my layout and added a strip of the Let's Pack And Go paper down the left side of the layout, with my stencil design on top.  I also added machine stitching to create a circle and did  some faux stitching around the perimeter of both the strip and stencil paper.

Next, I started by placing one of Becky Higgins die-cut frame behind the photo and used another to frame my picture. I created a cluster on the bottom right hand corner of the photo using a few stickers and chipboards from the kit. 

  

I combined one of the clipboard word from Creative Embellishments with the happy stickers from the Photoplay paper-Boarding Pass collection to create my title and tucked another sticker underneath the pattern paper next to the title. 

At the bottom of my layout I added one of the border strip sticker and back it with a thin strip of pattern paper.

Next, I layered a couple of Becky Higgins die-cut frames with a few stickers to the top left hand corner of my photo and love the added dimension this creates.

I finished the layout off with some ink splatter, enamel dots and my journaling.

Thanks for stopping by :) xx Yvette

I hope I inspired you today to create something beautiful using your stencils!

Explore | My Creative Scrapbook-August Main Kit

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

Today I'm sharing another DT layout for My Creative Scrapbook using the August Main Kit!   

A few pieces of patterned papers from photoplay-boarding pass collection along with a sheet of stickers were included in this month's kit and they were perfect for document these photos of Max getting a tour of the cockpit on one of our visited to Barbados. 

I created a small cluster on the bottom left-hand corner of my photo which included a few stickers from the boarding pass collection, a couple of enamel dots and one of the clipboard word from Creative Embellishments, which I used as my title.

I matted my photos using the reverse side of the Let's pack and go pattern paper, which goes perfected with the color in the die cut frame from Becky Higgins - Explore set.
      
I added the banner sticker along with one of the Becky Higgins flair's to the top right corner of my page and I loved now the banner draws your eyes to the photos!

The World Is Waiting | My Creative Scrapbook-August Main Kit

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

Today I'm sharing my first layout using the gorgeous August Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook!

We recently renewed our passports and the August main kit were perfect to document this day.  Such a fabulous kit to document all for your travels, from family vacation to business trip or like I did passport renewal. 

         

I know I wanted to use the passport photos to create this page, so I decided to go with a grid design.  I started with the world traveler pattern paper as my background, then cut out nine 2 1/2 inch squares from several different pattern papers and adhere to my base.

Next, embellishments. I created a few small clusters around the layout using lots of the chipboard and stickers from the Echo Park-Go See Explore collection.

 

Next, I added a couple strips of pattern paper to top of the page and finished the layout off by adding some stamping around a few areas.

 Thanks for stopping by :) xx
