Scrapbook Circle | Holiday Quilt

Hi everyone!  I have another layout on the Scrapbook Circle blog today to share with you, that I  made this month using the December 'We are Made of Stories' Kit.  I was inspired by the papers in the December kit, to create my background.  I absolutely love the Elle's Studio Holiday quilt paper!  I knew right away when I saw it, that I wanted to use it to create my background.  

To create my background,  I simply cut around four small diamond shapes to create a larger diamond shape.  I then, cut other papers from the kit the same size to match and then laid them down on white cardstock to create my background.  I love that the large diamond shapes grouped together looks like a holiday quilt.  I had a fun photo of my daughter with her friends ice-skating on a recent trip to Tahoe.  I trimmed my photo the same size as the other diamond shapes to help blend in to the background.

  

Next, I used a sewing machine to stitch a few of the pieces and embellishments in place.  I used embellishments from the kit and added a few embellishments from the December Favorite Elf Add-on.

I hope you enjoyed my layout today!

Scrapbook Circle | Captured

Hi everyone!  I have a layout on the Scrapbook Circle blog today to share with you, that I made using the December 'We are Made of Stories' Kit.  When I first saw the papers & embellishments included in the December kit, I was so excited.  I absolutely loved the patterned papers included in the kit.  Which brings me to my design team choice: pattern piecing.  

To create my layout I first started by using a punch to punch out triangles from pattern paper.  Then I lined them up on my page, with a ruler to create the fun background design.

Next, I used a sewing machine to stitch the pieces in place.  I used embellishments from the kit and the December Favorite Elf Add-on to embellish my page.  

  

I hope you are inspired by my layout today!

Hi everyone!

I have a post up on the Scrapbook Circle blog today using the December We Are Made of Stories kit.

As a Scrapbook Circle Creative Team member - I was chosen to take part in the December Kit Inspired Challenge -Silver and Gold this month.  I had fun with hanging my photo and other embellishments on this page using hanging tags!  I embellished the tags with the Pink Paislee silver foil numbers and words included in the kit.  To add gold to the layout - I added a small piece of Crate Paper gold striped vellum paper and I unraveled the gold/white twine included in the kit.  I seperated the gold thread and used it as accents around my page.  If you look closely, you will see how some of the strings are natural-colored, and the center one still has gold thread.  

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed my layout stop by Scrapbook Circle to pick up their December We are Made of Stories Kit today!
