Scrapbook Circle | Design Team Choice

Hi there!  I have another new layout to share with you today using the Scrapbook Circle's October Mix Tape kit and Add-ons.

September 27th, was a memorable night.  We experienced a blood moon and solar eclipse.  I took my trusty Canon 6D out for a walk and decided to shoot the moon.  I chose my favorite photo from the shoot and decided to document it on my layout using the Mix Tape kit and add-ons.  

I love using geometric shapes on layouts.  To create the background for this layout I trimmed several pieces of the patterned papers included in the main kit into squares and rectangle shapes and then adhered them to a white cardstock background.  I used my sewing machine to stitch down a few of pieces.  Then I added in extra embellishments from both of the add-on kits.

Scrapbook Circle | Today

Hi there!  I have a new layout to share with you today using Scrapbook Circle's October Mix Tape kit and add-ons!

This layout incorporates a couple of my favorite things!  I love playing with patterned paper, I love triangles, diamond shapes, stitching, white background paper and black ink!  

I also added embellishments from the cassette add-on and the playlist add-on.

Scrapbook Circle | Run Jump

I'm sharing a layout today that I made with the Scrapbook Circle September Hello Hello kit and add-on.  One of my favorite techniques lately is paper folding.  I love that it is such a quick and easy way to turn plain old paper into a 3d embellishment.

I also have a weakness for cute puppies, and I happen to have three of them, so they make great scrap subjects.  I created my layout by folding the papers from the kit into squares, then I lined them up in a heart format.  I left two squares off on the right side to add interest to the page.  I embellished with stickers and pieces from the main kit and add-on.

Scrapbook Circle | A Wild Spirit

The patterned papers in Hello, Hello – September kit at Scrapbook Circle – are a fabulous mix of prints. If you flip to the “b” sides of these papers, you’ll find a variety of geometric shapes. From triangles to hexagons, diamonds to cubes, these shapes from your geometry days are inspiring our next technique challenge. Create a layout featuring geometric shapes. 

To create my layout, I started by cutting triangles and diamonds from the Crate Paper patterned papers in the kit, as well as circles and stars. Then I combined with sequins and triangle puffy stickers, the confetti of shapes down on my page to create a fun background for with photos of my daughter.

Scrapbook Circle | Captured

Hi everyone,

I have a new layout to share with you today using the September Hello, Hello kit from Scrapbook Circle!

Handcut letters are all the rage right now, and I just love the way they look!  I handcut my letters from papers from the main kit and then used my sewing machine and black thread to stitch down.  I used bits and pieces from the main kit and September add-on to embellish my page.

I hope you enjoyed my layout today, if you haven't already, stop by to pick up your kit today!

Scrapbook Circle | Fun Circles

I have a layout to share with you today that I made this month using the August Make It Happen kit and add-on's from Scrapbook Circle.  I love circles, and graphic shapes on my layouts!  So, I decided to combine the two on this layout.  I cut oblong pieces of paper using the 6x6 paper pad included in the You Shine Add-on, and papers from the main kit and then arranged them onto a circular format on my layout.

I used adhesive to adhere all the pieces down, and then stitched over them with a sewing machine and white thread.  Next, I printed an instagram photo and added lots of embellishments!

This was such a fun layout to make, it really plays off the fun photo.  How are you using the August kit and add-on's?  We would love for you to share your pages with on the Facebook page!

Scrapbook Circle | Planner Addict

Have you all jumped on the planner craze yet?  I bought this awesome Hello Beautiful planner month's ago, and up until now I haven't done much with it.  My assignment at Scrapbook Circle this month encouraged me to jump in and get planning!  I used their July You Are My Favorite Kit and added a few pieces from the add-ons.

I love the bits and pieces included in this month's July You Are My Favorite Kit and Add-on's, they are perfect for adding simple touches to my planner.

On my calendar page for the month, I write out ahead of time, things that we have scheduled, and then as things come up and we do them, I add them to the calendar.  Bits and pieces from the main kit (July You Are My Favorite) and the July Let's Do It add-on and That Was Fun Add-on helped me to really make my pages stand out.

I hung Crate paper confetti Tassels from the binder rings on my pages.  I used a fine tip pen and Jillibean Soup Mini Alphabet stickers (included in That Was Fun Add-On) to document our plans.

The washi tape and wood veneer shapes (included in the That Was Fun Add-On) helped

bring life to my pages.

I also used a lot of the Confetti Ephemera pieces through out my planner and tucked them in here and there using pockets and paper clips (not included in kits).  My planner is now set, and ready to document lots of memories!

Scrapbook Circle | Find Your Happy

Hi everyone,

I have a layout to share with you today using the July You Are My Favorite kit from Scrapbook Circle!  I love the Craft Market Stitching paper so much (included in the main kit) that I shared a post last week using the B side of the paper.  Today, I'm sharing how I was inspired by the stitching side of the paper.  

That background paper was just begging for me to add to it!  I used a piece of transparent paper and traced around a triangle with a pencil.  I cut it out and used it as a template to cut out my patterned papers and my photos.  I used a paint brush to flick white paint across my page and then then set aside to dry.  Next, I adhered my patterned paper cuts across my page and added my photos.  I added a tassel and "Find Your Happy" sticker from the That Was Fun Add-on

I hope you enjoyed my layout today, if you haven't already, stop by Scrapbook Circle to pick up your July kit today!

Scrapbook Circle | Fill It In!

I hope that you are loving the July Kit You Are My Favorite at Scrapbook Circle so far this month!  This kit is packed with so many fun possibilities!  I knew right away when I saw this Craft Market stitching paper (included in the main kit) that I just needed to add color to it!

I cut out my title using the Silhouette Cameo and then I filled in some of the flowers and leaves using my markers.

I love white space, so I purposefully left a lot of the title white.

I adhered my title to my layout and then used the exclusive stencil (included in the main kit) with white paint along the left and right side of my layout to accentuate my title.

I added my photo and embellished my page with pieces from the Let's Do It Again Add-on and the That Was Fun Add-on.

I hope you enjoyed my page today! If you try out this technique on a layout we’d love to see. Be sure to share it on our Scrapbook Circle Facebook group so we can leave you some love!

Scrapbook Circle | Today

Tags, tags, tags!  I just can't get enough of them.   They make great embellishments, they are great for journaling, and they make a big impact on projects when they are all strung together!  For this month's designer choice layout, I decided to create a layout for Scrapbook Circle this month featuring tags!

To create my layout I used the June Have a Little Fun Today kit with the June Add-on List Keeper

I placed a gray tag (included in the main kit) behind my white cardstock base and then strung a line of Pink Paislee travel tags across the top of the page.  I used a sewing machine to stitch them down.  

I added some light stamping, a few drops of yellow spray mist and a few embellishments to finish off the page.  

Have you played with tags on a layout?  How about a card or pocket page?  We would love for you to share it with us on our Facebook Page.  Thanks for looking!

Scrapbook Circle | Ampersands

Inspired by the ampersand die cuts you will find in the Love It add-on and This Way add-on this month at Scrapbook Circle, I created my page based around these cute little symbols.  I used papers from the April Let's Do This kit combined with my Silhouette to cut my own ampersands out of patterned paper, and then paired them with the die cuts that I got in my add-on kits.

They are so trendy and fun!  I also added drops of watercolor paint and distress paint across my page to add color.  I added a few stickers, sequins and machine stitching and boom, my layout was done!

 

Scrapbook Circle | Our Story

Hi there!  I have a layout to share today using the March Here's The Story kit from Scrapbook Circle!  This month's kit, may just be one of my favorites!  I love the mix of Pinkfresh studios papers in this kit and the eclectic mix of embellishments!

To create my layout, I first splashed blue watercolor paint against a white cardstock background and then set aside to dry.  Next, I used their exclusive March cut file (included in the main kit) to create my background (confetti dot paper).  I used a circle punch to punch out pattern papers from the kit and the exclusive "Our Story" cards, and then stitched them onto my page using a sewing machine.  I spritzed small areas with green spray mist and then adhered my photo and various die cut embellishments.  

Thanks for looking!

Scrapbook Circle | XO

Hi there!  I have a layout to share today using the February Today is Beautiful kit from Scrapbook Circle.  In honor of Valentine's day, I thought it would be fun to share a layout featuring a Valentine's tradition - sweet treats.

On Valentine's Day each year, my husband and I pick out sweet treats for each other.  Last year's treats were some amazing cupcakes that we picked up at our local bakery.  We thought they were the perfect way to celebrate this day of love.

The papers from the main kit this month were a perfect match for my photo.  I added in a large "XO" title cut from my Silhouette Cameo and some ephemera pieces from the February Dream Big Add-on.

One of my favorite papers in the kit this month was the "Love Life" paper by Crate paper.  I loved that the paper looked like paint swatches that you would pick up at the hardware store.  I trimmed a few pieces from the paper and tucked them just below my large title. I finished the page by adding in some stickers, paint, and loose threads.

Do you have a favorite Valentine's day tradition that you've scrapped about?  If so, we would love for you share it with us over on the Scrapbook Circle Facebook page.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!

Scrapbook Circle | Xoxo

I have a layout to share today using the beautiful Today is Beautiful February kit from Scrapbook Circle.  To create my layout I used an xo background cut file from the Silhouette store and backed it with papers from the February kit.

supplies:  Scrapbook Circle: Today is Beautiful February kit, Dream Big Add-on; Other: watercolors, paint


I also added in some 6x6 papers and embellishments from the February Dream Big add-on. I love the little miniature letter stickers from Basic Grey (included in the add-on).  I used them to spell out the words (Be Mine).

I also loved working with all the die cut pieces in the Crate Paper Kiss Kiss ephemera pack.  How cute are those embellishments?

I absolutely enjoyed everything about this kit.  Stop by their shop to pick one up!
