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.

Here is the layout that I made for the hop using Scrapbook Circle's August Kit Island Paradise and a fun sketch from PageMaps

When Becky Fleck from PageMaps sent me this sketch to work with I was so excited.  I loved the piechart, triangles and white space in the sketch.  Here is my take on it:

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.
