'Love This' layout tutorial

Hello friends!

Today I would like to share with you how I put together my Love This layout. This layout was made with the October Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook and features the super adorable Forest Friends collection from Doodlebug.

I'm not really into the Pocket Style of scrapbooking for the most part, but sometimes the simple style of it appeals to me. Rather than use a page protector with pockets, I just adapted the style to fit on a typical 12x12 page so it would fit in my regular sleeves.

The Jillibean cards in the kit work perfectly for this style of scrapbooking. They are the perfect size.

I layered some patterned papers in the negative spaces on the card to create my title, and then layered the heart sticker over the arrow. Now of course I can't have things too linear or flat so I offset the sticker of the flower on the card and popped it up with a pop dot. I added the little tag of ribbon to add some texture.

I used one of the small flowers from the kit to create an embellishment cluster in the center of the layout. The flowers are actually two layers glued together, but I carefully took the layers apart and used just one flower on this layout. I used the other on a different layout.  I tucked the owl sticker under a button and used a pop dot under the sticker to add a bit more depth and dimension there.

The is my favorite part of my layout. I wrapped a piece of string around the purple card I cut and strung a bunch of the little tag stickers onto the string. I put a pop dot under each (I love pop dots! I can never leave stickers flat). then I tied a little piece of the orange ribbon from the kit in between each of the tags.

..it's super adorable.

Finally I loved the circle/bubble card in the kit so I added it in the last section. I liked how the white cards are on opposite corners of the page. It helps to create balance.

And again, I just can't have things too linear so I offset the cute little owl journaling sticker and added a button for dimension.

So that's it from me today....  

Hope that list gave you some ideas for your next project!

Thanks for stopping in today!

October Creative Kit BONUS

Hello friends!

I got to go to a weekend crop just after my kit arrived which was perfect timing to hunker down and focus on getting my projects done.

I was having so much fun with the October Creative kit from My Creative Scrapbook that I even had time to make two cards after I was done with my layouts!

BONUS!!!

so...here they are...

I was pretty happy with how this card turned out. I gave myself a big pat on the back for figuring out how to use the big question mark card that is in the kit.

 I used pop dots to create the dimension under the question mark.

 I love that the little foxes are peeking out. My favorite is the little face peeking out the dot at the bottom of the question mark.

The tiny alpha stickers worked perfectly to create the sentiment on the card.

 My second card is sweet and simple, but I wanted to feature the super cute paper with all the forest critters on it!

 

It is nice and thin, not too many dimensional objects so it is a great card for sending in the mail.

So there you have it...

October Creative Kit projects

Hello friends!

Earlier in the week we debuted this months kits from My Creative Scrapbook with a fun blog hop! If you missed it you can check out all the amazing projects by starting here.

Today, I'd love to share the rest of the layouts I created with the October Creative kit from My Creative Scrapbook kit club.

This month's Creative kit featured the Friendly Forest collection from Doodlebug. It is so stinkin adorable! I'm just loving the little critters found throughout the kit.

The extra large leaves are a fun part of the kit. On this layout I lined them up vertically to make them look more like trees.

On my next layout I used items from the kit but I tried to get away from fall-ish look.

This little birdy tag is one of my favorite elements from the kit :)

 

For my final layout. I went with a sort of altered pocket page layout style.

I'll have a step by step for how I put this layout together later on in the month so make sure you check on back.
