I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and I have used two small square photos on my 8.5" x 11" page. I usually like to have my photos close to each other on my pages, but this time I decided to separate them and pop my title in between. Instead of using my usual white cardstock background I decided to use yellow to match the patterned paper.
I die-cut my tag from patterned paper but you could easily do this with a paper trimmer.
A sprinkling of white Heidi Swapp Spray Ink really popped against the yellow background.
These die-cuts might be travel-themed but you can use them for so many other stories too.
Don't forget it's SALE time at the Scrappy Canary store.
I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and this time I tried two things that I don't do all that often- I used patterned paper for my background and to that I added texture paste mixed with gold paint through a star stencil.
I used two of the little kraft envelopes from the kit as layers.
I used the gold star transparency to continue my star theme.
I layered a transparent diecut over the "My View" one for a fun look.
Thanks for joining me today- don't forget there is a huge SALE on at the Scrappy Canary Store!
I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Scrapbook Kit. It's another 12x12 grid-style page with two 3x4 photos, one portrait and the other landscape. It can be tricky to make a grid with photos of different orientations, but it is possible to make it work.
I love the transparent die-cuts from the Pink Paislee "Atlas" collection that come in the kit. Even though they are travel-themed, they can be used to tell other stories too.
I cut apart one of the patterned papers in the kit to create my small tags.
I layered a clear die-cut over a regular one here. It's easy to machine stitch through acrylic ones to secure them to your page.

I am excited to share my first layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit. It's chock-full of papers from Pink Paislee's Atlas Collection among others that co-ordinate beautifully. Although the products have a travel theme, I can see how easily they can be used for everyday stories.
For today's layout I decided on a pared back colour palette of grey, silver and dark blue to go with my black and white 4x3 photos.
I layered one of the 4x4 transparencies in the kit over some vellum and patterned paper to form my title.
I also cut apart one of the 4x4 cards to make the bottom right portion of my grid.

Today I'm sharing another layout using the May "Sweet Treat" Scrapbook Kit. It's a 8.5"x11" page and features two 3x4 photos. I made two tags from patterned paper to form a sort-of grid design.
If you are from Western Australia you might recognise this famous ex-footballer in the top photo ;-)
As is my usual "thang", I made a few little embellishment clusters and although the chipboard sticker pack has a birthday party vibe, they are very adaptable to use on all sorts of layouts.
I die-cut some paper scraps to make these arrow-shaped pieces. I also used some of the puffy star stickers I had leftover from a previous kit.
The gold foil on these chippy stickers is gorgeous and the geometrical shapes ensure they work well on boy layouts too.

I'm back with another layout share using the May Scrapbook Kit. It's my usual (lately) 8.5"x11" format and I have a small photo grid about 4"x4" in size.
I cut the camera out from one of the patterned papers and layered a glittered gold heart on top and I also cut the "Lovely Day" from the strip on one of the other papers.
I used a Tim Holtz die to make this rosette from the mint spotted paper and layered one of the gold chipboard pieces on top for my title.
These Dear Lizzy bobby pins in the kit are so adorable!

I'm back with another layout using the May "Sweet Treat" Scrapbook Kit. This time I'm back to a 12x12 format and have used a simple grid design for my two landscape-oriented 4x3 photos.
I just love all the gold foil products in the kit and I made two large clusters and one small cluster to direct the viewer's eyes around the page.
I layered some of the chipboard stickers to create this little grouping.

Today I'm sharing a layout using the May "Sweet Treat" Scrapbook Kit. It's an 8.5"x11" layout oriented horizontally. I took one of the patterned papers and cut apart the square that said "Life is..." and then added one of the chipboard pieces to create my title.
I used the gold glitter chipboard hearts and foam glitter hearts around my page, as well as some of the puffy stickers I had leftover from last month's kit.
I added a manila tag, a label and some twine from my stash and machine stitched for some added texture.
