Fun with Squares | My Creative Scrapbook - October Tutorial

Hi My Creative Scrapbook Friends! Today I am super excited to share two of my projects I created using squares and the gorgeous October main kit. So are you ready to have some fun with squares!!! 

Okay, let's get started :) 

For my first page, I picked several square punches in different sizes and cut out multiple squares from a variety of patterned papers.

I played around with the squares for a bit, until I found the design I love. I decided to arranged all of the squares down the left hand side and along the bottom of my page to create a large L. I attached them to the background using both glue and foam adhesive.    

Next, I added my photos.

For the title I used a combination of foam letter stickers found in this month's main kit and one of the chipboard stickers from the 'Forever Fall' collection. Just a few embellishments as well as some paint splatter were need to complete this layout. 

Now for my second project.....

For this page a 2x2 inch paper punch was used to create my squares.    

 For my background I chose the 'Be Grateful' (denim look) patterned paper. Next, I drew a 7 1/2 inch circle which act as a guideline for me to follow. I started arranging the squares to slightly overlap one another and then finish off with some machine stitching.        

I created a pretty cluster of embellishments on the bottom right hand corner of the photo.  The cluster includes a few fussy cut flowers, stickers and a couple of buttons.   

I matted my photo with one of the cut apart pieces from the 3x4 Elements patterned paper and on the left side of the photo I added one of the die-cut label found in the Ephemera Bits and Pieces 'Forever Fall' collection.

I added my title using the foil foam letter stickers found in this month's main kit and use a marker to change it from gold to black which worked so much better for my page.

I finished the layout off by adding a bow made from the burlap ribbon also included in this month's main kit and some more white paint splatters.

     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 | Hello Fall - October Main Kit

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

Today I'm stopping in the share my first layout using the October Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.  

This month"s main kit is absolutely gorgeous, it's feature the beautiful Farmhouse Stew collection from Jillibean Soup!

For this page I started by cutting the leaf wreath in this month's cut file from white cardstock and instead for backing the cut file with patterned paper, I decided to add color by using a leaf stamp and love the added texture this created on the layout.

To give it a bit more dimension, I adhered it down with some foam dots.

Next, I placed my photo on top of the cut file and start embellishing. I added a few flowers die cut from the pea pod parts to the top of the wreath. I also fussy cut some of the flowers from the beautiful Gimme Some Sugar patterned paper and tucked them underneath the wreath.

  I added a few more cut file leaves and adhered with machine stitching, one in the bottom right hand corner and the other to the left hand side of the page. 
   

I finished the layout off with a few more embellishments, my title and a few paint splatters!

My Creative Scrapbook-September Main Kit | Buddies

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

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

This month's main kit is absolutely beautiful and great for documenting those special moments. 

I started with a 12x12 white cardstock and created an outer frame using some patterned paper and adhered with some machine stitching.  

Next, to add a bit more interest to the center of my page, I layer two pieces of pattern papers one on top the other. The base is cut to 9x9ins and the top is cut 1/4ins smaller. 

This page came together very quickly, I added a couple of accent stickers to the bottom corner of the left photo, and used a ephemera piece along with a house sticker to place in the middle of my photos. 

I used my Cameo and a cut file to create my title. 

I finished the layout off with a few enamel dots, a word sticker under both photos and some zig zag machine stitching under the title!

My Creative Scrapbook | Happy Lazy Summer Days | July Tutorial

Hi My Creative Scrapbook Fans!  For my tutorial this month, I decided to use a die-cut circle set to create a super awesome background for the upper portion of my layout.

I begin by using my Sizzix Big Shot to die cut several circles in various sizes.  Next, I applied pool mid-tone and soft pool shadow inks to the outer edges of each circles, use a blending tool starting with the lightest to darkest. 

A Soft Yellow shadow ink was applied to the smaller circles.

 Next, I added the splish splash pattern paper to the lower half of the page and once all the circles were positioned as I like them, I added a 2 inch strip of pattern paper across the middle of the layout. 

              

  At this point I trim the excess circles and added some machine stitching around the perimeter.

Next, I layered some of the die-cut frames from the Summer Bucket List ephemera pack underneath my photo and love the added interest this creates.

I created a cluster of embellishments on the bottom right hand corner of the photo that includes one of the Summer Bucket list die cut, a few Summer Days chipboard stickers and a couple of  bits & pieces.   

I used one of the phase as well as the happy banner from the Summer Days cardstock stickers to create my title and later decided the area around the title needed a bit more detail so I added a few more stickers.   

The cloud and sun sticker were a perfect addition to the top left hand side of my photo, along with  some journaling strips. I really love the selection of embellishments and patterned papers in this kit,  it made it so easy to document my summer photos !  

       I  finished my layout off by adding my journaling.

Fun In The Sun | My Creative Scrapbook...July Main Kit

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

I'm here today to share my first layout using the fabulous July Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook!

"Lot's of fabulous goodies" from Simple Stories...Summer Days Collection!   

For this page I used the June FREE Summer cut file set. The Summer cut file set were perfect to document this photo taking on a family vacation to Atlantis in the Bahamas.

 I decided to use the palm tree, the sun & clouds image and a couple of the words.  I enlarge the palm tree so I can make it a focal point on my layout and cut it from both patterned paper and brown cardstock, I love the shadowing this creates without adding foam tape.  Next, I cut two of the clouds image from some white cardstock and arrange then on my page.

    

For the bottom of my page I did some paper tearing using a blue to represent water and the other for the sand. 

   

Here you see I created a cluster using a few bits and pieces from the Summer Days collection.

  

I finished off my layout by adding my title using a couple of words from the cut file, along with some alpha stickers. 

Thanks for stopping by:)))) xx
