Hi, My Creative Scrapbook fans!  Today I have a Quilt - Inspired layout to share with you. Here's the layout I created....

I choose a Quilt image I found on Pinterest, as my inspiration, and used it to create a string art background for this layout.         

Pinterest image:

Step 1:  I started by using a large plate as a template to draw a circle. 

Step 2:  Fussy cut the small triangles from patterned paper 24.     

 Step 3:  Using the circle as a guide, I glued the triangles in place by slightly overlapping each one, until the circle was completed.     

Step 4:  Punched the holes using a paper piercer, one in the center of the circle and the others, along the inside area of the triangles were I have the arrows indicate in the photo above. Starting from the center for the circle with your floss/thread and then over to the opposite side. Continuing with this process until the entire inside of the circle is covered.     

Step 5:  Create a second circle of fussy cut triangles, and repeat the same process from step 4.  Once this was finish I felt like something was missing, so I decided to add some back stitching around the perimeter before adhered it to the larger circle.     

Step 6:  At this point I added my photo and title.  

Once my title and photo were in place, I created a couple clusters of layered embellishments using the beautiful floral die cuts, as well as a few fussy cut pieces. Some of the embellishments were added with foam tape to create extra dimension.

My Creative Scrapbook | Moments Captured | May Main Kit

Hi my scrapping friends! 

I'm so excited to be back today to share another layout created with the gorgeous May Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook!
I absolutely love the Jillibean Soup-Bowl of Dreams collection featured in this kit. I truly enjoy creating with it!

    

I begin by using this Quilt design found on Pinterest as my starting point for my layout.  

I started by cutting strips of patterned papers into different sizes and using a 12x12 white cardstock as my base, begin adhering the paper strips by simply following the Quilt design. 

    

  I then added stitching to really get the quilted look.      

Next, embellishments. I added a cluster of Bowl of Dreams die-cut cardstock flowers, puffy hearts stickers and some stamping in the top right corner. 

To the bottom left of the photo I tucked one of the adorable bicycle underneath my photo and added some foam dots to the back of another to create a layered look.  

  I scattered some of the circle die-cut pieces, along with a few stamped circles to the create some added interest to the left side of my page.

  I finished my layout off with some handwritten journaling and my title, which came from a phases found on the Bowl of Dreams -make magic pattern paper.

      I hope I inspired you to create something beautiful....using the May main kit from My Creative Scrapbook!
