MCS Sept Creative Kit Projects part 2

Hello friends!

I'm back with part 2 of my layouts created with this months Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook kit club.

In case you missed my last post you can find it here, and as a reminder this kit features the Creative Agenda collection from Echo Park.

***

The first layout I'm sharing today is actually one about me! I rarely scrapbook myself but I have been slowly working away on a school album of my school years. The Creative Agenda goodies in the kit worked perfectly for me to add another layout to the album.

I used the 'School' die cut word from the kit as a mask instead of just attaching the die cut to my project. I used some temporary adhesive to attach it to my page and then gave a few good sprays with some white ink.

I attached some the stickers down the side of my Gr 5. Portrait...and check out that background behind me...can you say 80s?!?!?!

I did a little bit more spritzing and splattering of the white ink in the top right corner to add some symmetry.  I love the papers with the days of the week and months of the year on them...perfect for school layouts...and the + signs and check marks...love 'em!

See that white cardstock that looks like it is torn from a book? or maybe I used an edge punch to get that look? NOPE! I just made it myself. I punched a line of circles down the edge of the paper and then made a little snip in the paper from the edge of the paper right into each circle...easy peasy!

I'll tease you a bit with my next layout. I'll share a pic of it with you but I won't be sharing any details right now. But please check back later in the month if you are interested in how I put this layout together. I'll have a step by step tutorial to share :)

My last layout has more of a boyish feel to it. I love that the Creative Agenda collection worked so well for boyish and feminine layouts.

I used the trick I mentioned above for making your paper look like it was torn from a coil book again on this layout.

I cut a strip of the camera paper to make a border below my photos. I loved how the little blue camera sticker was the exact same size as the camera on the paper so I just stuck it over top. A little cluster of stickers, buttons, and papers made a nice focal point.

These little word stickers in the kit were fun for making your own sentiments 

 Just another little cluster of stickers to create a visual triangle of embellishments on the layout.

Well that is all for this kit, I look forward impatiently until the next one arrives!

I hope you were able to find some inspiration.

Have a great day

My JUNE Kit projects from My Creative Scrapbook.

I am so excited to be a part of the Creative Kit team at My Creative Scrapbook and I'm thrilled to show you how I used my June kit.

 

First up a layout of myself. This layout was inspired by a layout by Wilna Furstenberg that you can see here.

 

 

I had fun using the little camera stamp that comes in the kit. I stamped some with black ink and some I stamped with Versamark and then embossed with white.

 

 

 

I added a few of the Heidi Swapp epoxy stickers as finishing details and created my title with the black glitter Thickers.

 

 

Now this kit has a travel theme to it and I have to say that it stumped me at first. My family doesn't do too much traveling so I don't have many pictures to suit the theme. Instead of scrapbooking my travels, I decided to scrapbook my Travel Bucket List...a list of places I want to be able to travel one day!!

 

 

I love the airplane paper that comes in the kit but this was the only layout I could find a way to use it. It comes in a fun aqua color too. I added the wood veneer globe and popped up the stack of luggage that I fussy cut out of one of the papers to add some dimension.

 

One day I hope I get to check off all of these places!

 

I had fun cutting up all the different patterns in the kit for this layout. I think I might have used them all.

 

 

 

Another boyish layout for my last one...

  

 

I loved the wood veneers in the kit. My little tag with the heart that says 'memories' on it had the word printed upside down....so that if the word was showing the heart would be upside down. In the end this worked out better for me actually, because I realized I could turn some of the wood pieces around to make them more neutral!

 

 

I also did this with the circle with the cut out star. On the other side it says 'travel' which doesn't match my theme. By turning it over I've got a neutral boyish embellishment! YAY!

 

 

So there's my take on the CREATIVE KIT!

 

If you love these kits as much as we do, we encourage you to hurry over to our website and reserve yours before they're all gone. They won't be around for long! 

 

While you're on the website, I hope you'll take a few moments to soak up the amazing inspiration of the rest of the team in the design team gallery.

 

Have a great day!
