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!

Beach Fun Scrapbook Circle

Hi Everyone!  I wanted to share a fun step by step tutorial of how I put a recent page together using the fabulous Scrapbook Circle Island Paradise kit.

Beach Fun Layout

1.  I started my page out by creating a background in Silhouette Studio.  I lined up simple triangles to create my background. Once, I had my background put together the way I wanted it, I ungrouped my shapes to cut each piece individually.

2.  After cutting each shape out of different pieces of patterned paper, I lined them up on my page using repositionable tape.  Tip: I also cut a few pieces where I wanted my photos to go, so that I could use them as a guide for sizing (like a template).

3. Select photos for your layout.  I purposely selected photos that were smaller in scale, so that I knew that they would fit within my template.

4.  Use extra triangle pieces as a template for your photos, trace around them and cut out.

5.  After placing my photos on my layout, I used my sewing machine to stitch all of my pieces in place.

6.  Add embellishments and you're done!

Along with my Island Paradise August kit this month, I also used the Bungalow and Tiki Torch add ons.  I had so much fun this month playing with this kit.  It is so fun and versatile and perfect for summer!  If you haven't already - stop by Scrapbook Circle to pick up your August kit today!

The Sights & Sounds of Santa Cruz

Hi everyone,

Popping in today to share a layout that I made with Scrapbook Circle's August Kit Island Paradise. One of my favorite things about this kit is the awesome alphas included in the kit.  I decided to showcase the alphas on my layout.

Santa Cruz Beach Layout

I recently went with my family on a day trip to Santa Cruz beach.  We spent a lot of time on the boardwalk where the kids got wristbands and rode the rides.  This ferris wheel along the boardwalk caught my eye and I couldn't resist snapping a few pics.  I loved how this close up shot turned out so much that I decided to enlarge it and use it on my page.  

I love mixed matched titles, and I think they add so much fun and interest to a page.  To create my mixed matched title, I layered some Elle's Studio tags along the top right hand side and then added in Scrapbook Circles exclusive cork die cut, and Basic Grey Grand Bazaar chipboard alpha's.

I also used the Bungalow and Tiki Torch add ons on my page (flair, HS card, chipboard pieces, stickers).  Overall, I had so much fun with this kit and I think you will too.  Stop by Scrapbook Circle today to pick one up.

Hello Selfie Layout

 This is such a fun kit to work with, I love the rich jewel tones, exclusive cork pieces and those really fun ChicTags clips.

I used two add-ons this month along with my kit.  Some of the smaller scale paper in the piechart are from the August Add-on Bungalow.  The chipboard frame, star stickers, wood sequins and chipboard pieces are from the August Add-on Tiki Torch.
