Scrapbook Circle | April Planner kit

Hi everyone, did you get a chance to check out the new planner kit this month at Scrapbook Circle- Plan on It?

I love the mix of manufacturers and products in this kit!




For this spread I am using my Heidi Swapp planner.  I like to use this planner for work and personal use.  I used the April planner kit along with pieces from the main kit and the Stay Cool and Now or Never add-on kits to embellish my pages.





I created an insert pocket by taking paper from the main kit, folding it in half, cutting it down to size and then using a hole punch to punch four holes on the left hand side.  The top of the pocket is open and I used it to place a tag inside.





On the backside of my pocket, I embellished it by adding a Crate paper fringe heart and  washi tape embellishments and brad sticker.





On the right hand side of my spread, I added washi tape pieces, stickers, journaling and suede tassels.  Adding cute tassels and bows and paperclips to my planner is always part of my pages.  I love having lots of cute pieces peeking out.



Head on over to the Scrapbook Circle shop to pick up your planner kit today!

Scrapbook Circle | String Art

Inspired by the new string art trend that is popping up on cards, scrapbook pages and wall art everywhere - I decided to create this fun look using the March Here's The Story kit from Scrapbook Circle.

To create my string art layout I used the Sweet Hearts cut file from The Cut Shoppe as a template.  I enlarged it and then cut it out with my Silhouette.  I placed the template over my background paper and then used a hole piercer to poke holes.  After all of my holes had been pierced I began to string the design with white embroidery thread.  I used my template as a visual guide so I would know where to thread each string.  After my string art design was complete, I trimmed a few pieces of patterned papers and randomly placed them behind some shapes in the design.  Next, I flicked a few drops of spray mist onto my layout and then added my title and photo.  I finished by dressing up my layout with embellishments from the main kit as well as the  On My Way Add-on kit and the Tell Me  Add-on kit.

I hope you were inspired by my project today.   Thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends,
I hope that your Friday is starting off well. I have a couple more layouts that I would like to share with you and some fun news. So lets get started.
I recently discovered a company called Ormolu. I love their flair buttons and tags. Here is a layout that I completed this weekend using one of their buttons.
